Hi List,
I am a new builder (RV7A empennage) in Cottonwood, AZ. I have been unable
to locate a reasonable source for powdered Alodine or Iridite 14-2. If any
of you have some left over from your project that you would like to sell and
are within a few hours drive of northern Arizona, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help,

I don't thinke the hose size is going to make that much difference. The
fire sleeve has to slide on over the fittings once the hose is built and the
fittings are larger than the hose. The -6 nuts on hose fittings should be
fairly comparable in size I would think.
I ordered all fittings, hose, and sleeve from Baker Precision and all fit
nicely.

I was looking at the Sun-n-Fun web site this morning and noticed that there
is an RV fly in next month. Seems to be the third year they have done it.
Has anybody been in the past? Looks like there will be some prizes for
different things.

more reasonable amount and cost, I had good luck with the liquid stuff.

Ron,
I'm an RV6 builder located in North Phoenix AZ. I bought 10lbs of Iridite
14-2 from Allied Plating Supplies in Fl. in August this year (2004). 10 lbs
was the minimum order. I would be glad to sell you a couple of pounds. 1
lb. of Iridite will make 10 gallons of liquid Alodine solution. Works great.
Contact me off list if you are interested at jnewsum1@msn.com

Hey Dan.
OK I Found it. Thanks dude.
I guess the issue is that wiring needs to be in one location. In the
Appendix where you can go to one place to get the wiring info.
I stil cant find the serial data 9pin wiring. I have 10 books all laid
out on the bench putting wire A to wire B.
Both this one and the GRT EFIS is missing some key data. All the others,
which has much more complicated wiring schemas have been no trouble.
Maybe Im a dope! (No comments from the peanut gallery!)

Charlie, I have a little over 600 hrs in my RV-6, and a couple weeks ago
experienced a landing that I feel is pretty much max crosswind for this
pilot in my taildragger.
The active runway at DCU was 36, and the wind was 290 at 19k, gusting
26k. To make things more interesting, the gusting wind was blowing over
the adjacent community college campus's various multifloor buildings and
also the hangars at DCU. This creates some pretty active rotor action.
The landing(s)(!) was safe but the plane had to be flown all the way
down with full rudder. Taxiing was interesting because I had a light
fuel load, no passenger, and the -6 with its tail planted on the ground
wanted to go flying again in the strongest gusts. I decided at that
point that 26k crosswind component would work just fine for my personal
limit. I might be able to stretch the definition of "landing" in order
to accommodate a stronger crosswind, but it would probably be a bit
ugly. :-)
As an afterthought, if facing a similar situation on a wide runway like
DCU's, I would touch down on the downwind side and aim the plane
diagonally across the runway in order to reduce the crosswind component
as much as possible. The ground speed of the RV is so low in that much
wind that there would be plenty of runway with which to work.
Even after 600+ hours in the plane, it was definitely a learning
experience! :-)

Pat,
At $1.66 per gallon for powder versus $20 to $27 per gallon liquid,
there is NO good deal on liquid Alodine or Iridite. Do the math. Even
buying 10 pounds (minumum purchase quantity for powder. Enough to make 100
- 130 gallons) of Iridite 14-2 at $166 is a better deal than buying 4-5
gallons of liquid at the prices above.

My personal experience in my RV-6A was a right quartering headwind with
gusts to 24-32 knots. Biggest problem was fighting the effects caused by
the wind direction/velocity being perturbed by buildings and trees along the
runway. Very exciting and I was happy to have a nose gear to plant firmly
on the runway and lower the wing's angle of attack. Won't willing fly in
that type of condition again.

==============================
Charlie-
25kts direct cross is about my limit and it certainly helps if it's steady.
I had this situation going into Henderson NV on 12/23 and it was
interesting, but still quite safe. We were getting tumbleweed status reports
on
approach.
No tail-dragger fliers were anywhere near the airport, probably hiding at
home. ;o).

Are there special nuts I should be using for stuff like on the Adel clamps FWF?
Are the nylon lock nuts taboo FWF?
I notice in a couple of kits I got for FWF related stuff they used different style
nuts but one thing they all did NOT have in common was nylon inserts.
Thanks,

Thanks for all the responses on and off the list. I've never used Teflon tape
on my fuel
system, so that's not a likely factor. With above freezing temps today I encountered
no
problems flying from the right tank. I'm pretty confident fuel tank or fuel line
icing was the
problem. I found no water in the tank when I sumped it, but that would be consistent
with the
idea that the water only came out of solution at the much colder temps encountered
during the
flight, and would have been reabsorbed when temps climbed.

Here's an interesting note from Lycoming Service Instruction 1070M
(www.lycoming.textron.com/support/publications/
maintenancePublications/serviceInstructions/SI1070M.pdf).
"NOTE Isopropyl alcohol in amounts not to exceed 1% per volume may be
added to the fuel to prevent ice formation in fuel lines and tanks. Although
approved for use in Textron Lycoming engines, isopropyl alcohol should not
be used in the aircraft fuel systems unless recommended by the aircraft
manufacturer."
A caution I've found at multiple sources is that isopropyl alcohol is often sold
as
70/30 (30% water) solution, which is not what is needed. The "dry" (99+% isopropyl
alcohol), sometimes apparently found in "dry gas" automotive products) is what's
needed.
Hoses, gascolator gaskets, and fuel filters will have to be checked for compatability
before use.

HUH? Tim, I hate to send you back to "problem solving 101", but fuel
and water don't mix at any temperature. What can happen, and has been
suggested, is that water collects in a low spot, which freezes and
blocks (or severely reduces) the fuel flow. The only way to get the
water out of the low spot is to use high pressure air to blow it out.
Do not use 'dri-gas' as it's mostly alcohol and will do harm to seals
and diaphragms.

Digest: 20 Msgs - 12/23/04
--> RV-List message posted by: "Patrick Kelley" <webmaster@flion.com>
True enough, especially if you need 100+ gallons. Or if you have enough
friends that you can share it out, which really helps the expense. However,
for those of us unfortunate enough to live in the 'boonies', it makes more
sense to buy the liquid. Yes, the material cost is higher but the bottom
line is lower. By the way, when I 'did the math', I used the actual price,
which is $15-16 per gallon liquid vs. $858 for 60 lbs powder (Aircraft
Spruce's only listed quantity for powder.) Fortunately for Ron, there is
someone fairly nearby that can help him out.

Pat,
At $1.66 per gallon for powder versus $20 to $27 per gallon liquid, there
is NO good deal on liquid Alodine or Iridite. Do the math. Even buying 10
pounds (minumum purchase quantity for powder. Enough to make 100
- 130 gallons) of Iridite 14-2 at $166 is a better deal than buying 4-5
gallons of liquid at the prices above.

Are there special nuts I should be using for stuff like on the Adel clamps
FWF? Are the nylon lock nuts taboo FWF?
I notice in a couple of kits I got for FWF related stuff they used different
style nuts but one thing they all did NOT have in common was nylon inserts.
Thanks,
lucky

There's a newer model GPS for sale on ebay. The bids look pretty low.

Has anyone used one of these?
