I've bought stainless steel nutplates from my local supplier here in Dallas
for installing my remote compass sensor driving my HSI.
The part number has a 'C' in it IIRC. I've gotten them in all of the usual
flavors......
I'll try to remember to dig up the specifics.....

Frank,
It used to be, and perhaps still is, that if you call Garmin avionics
technical support, you can request that they email you the install manual
for the 430. Several years ago, one could directly download it from Garmin.
Lawyers won that one I guess. If you can't get one from Garmin, I'm sure
someone on the list can email it to you.

--> RV-List message posted by: SGordonGWH@aol.com
After finishing the empennage of a RV9A, I have realized that the finished
aircraft cost is going to be too high for me. While the RV9A will always be
my dream aircraft, I have decided to go in a different direction and build a
Corvair powered Zenith 601XL. So I now have a completed empenagge "For Sale."
It is complete including the fiberglass work and has the electric trim
option. All interior surfaces were etched, alodined and sprayed with zinc
chromate. I have a written log with pictures and a copy of the EAA tech report
on
the work before I closed the Horizontal Stab. I am in Cincinnati, Ohio. If
anyone is interested please contact me at: _sgordongwh@aol.com_

I just d/l some about a month ago.
I just tried a few and they are either off-line, having server problems,
or something. But fret not. I got em all on cd, at least the ones I
could crawl on their server. Someone else already pointed to my website
with the 430 install available. Lets keep an eye on the d/l directly and
see if Garmin comes back up or what.
If they keep it off-line, Ill put up what I have for future reference
for everyone.

I just finished my RV9A and now that I've got 50 hours on it, I wouldn't
trade it
for anything, especially if it's not Lyc powered. After completion, I had
two minor bugs. Got 'em taken care of in short order and just completed my
first cross country to Sedona, AZ from Santa Maria, CA. Not one squak!!!
I'll wager anything you'll have lots of squaks and headaches with an auto
engine. I just put it together like Van said. No modifications (early in
the building process Bill Grimm advised me against making modifications ---
thanks Bill), few problems, flys great, and better yet I have lots of
confidence in my flying machine!
Just my two cents worth.

Hope this helps:
http://www.rvproject.com/2004_mexico_trip_log.html
I put together a pretty comprehensive trip report. It goes into the whole
process of planning, insurance, etc. I even posted a complete list of fees
(fuel was only $2.51/gal) and all costs I encountered. I'm still working on
captions for the photos on the trip home, but the basic info is all there.
I sweated over lots of details, specifically insurance. In the end the trip
was really easy, totally uneventful. Going forward it's gonna be SO much
easier -- especially now that BBP is offering Mexican insurance for
experimentals. They didn't offer that until literally the afternoon before
I left (bastards). I had to dig for insurance elsewhere.
Hopefully this trip log will help other people by making the planning
process easier.
I have every intention of flying back down to several spots in Mexico in
2005.

| Subject: | Re: RV6A max demonstrated X-wind |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Doug Rozendaal" <dougr@petroblend.com>
There is a difference between "landing an airplane in a crosswind," and
"transitioning from flying to taxiing without damaging the equipment."
For instance, I have limited experience in the Pitts. I do not believe I
have ever landed a Pitts. When I have "transistioned from flying to
taxiing" in the Pitts, no one would call it a landing, "crash and recover"
would be a more accurate assesment.
The RVs are excellent crosswind airplanes, and my limited experience in the
trikes would lead me to believe they have no better, maybe poorer crosswind
capability than the T/W airplanes.
I caution against setting some number because if the wind is "reported" to
be less than that, the "it is below my limit so I must land" mentality gets
involved. Kevin Horton is right, there are way too many variables. Why put
a number on it. The biggest variable is the the pilot, and the pilot is a
moving target. Everyone has good days and bad days. The wind may gust,
mechanical turbulence from a building. CG issues. The list of variables is
long. If you want to put a hard number on it, it has to be for the worst
possible scenario, and if you include the pilot, that may be below 10 knots.
Having said that, in perfect conditions, it might approach 20 knots.
I approach crosswind landings like IFR approaches. Fly the approach
procedure and fly the missed approach procedure is the primary objective.
If you happen to see the airport and land, great, but if you don't that was
the plan. With a crosswind, set up, fly the final, and as long as things
are going well keep flying. Be spring-loaded to go-around. The instant
things are not working, GO!
Using that mentality favors wheel landings, and there is a point where you
have to commit to put the tail down, but by then it should be fairly clear
if putting the tail down is possible. I have done several one wheel touch
and go's in the Twin Beech because I could not get up enough courage to
lower the tail. We have a taxi-way at MCW which locals call Rwy 24. Our
airport manager uses a "don't ask, don't tell" policy on operations like
that.
From a flight planning perspective, this is just like IFR. If you are
unwilling to fly to the point of intended landing and then fly to an
alternate, do not go at all.
Tailwinds,
Doug Rozendaal

Doug, has a good point, and remeber You are the Pilot in Command, when
arriving at North Las Vegas if the wind is not down a runway, it will be down the
taxi way, which used to be the old 4/22. Ask for the Taxi way, you will be told
it's at your own risk, but when is flying not? Other wise they will let you
crash as it's happend before and say " well he didn't ask for it"

Understand your concerne. By wing down as far as i dared, that was pretty
conservative, Im not very daring anymore, :-) touch down at 90 was actually
equivilent to about 70 under the conditions. I got my pvt in cherokees in
Okl city, 66, comml same in Md, 2375 strip over trees wind often crazy, so I
had lots of xwind exp from back then. I didnt fly again for 35 yrs untill a
little over a yr ago. For the record, I woulnt have taken off in those cond,
but it was either land or else, not wanting to leave the plane someplace and
try to get back to the car. charlie

Mr. Gordon,
Don't be silly! Finish that airplane. It'll take you what , maybe, 2
years? Keep your eyes open for a good used Lycoming. Or stay on the list and
go
with one of the auto engines that are talked about here. Then fly it and if
you don't like it, sell it and make money on it. Just my opinion. I'm sure
the Zenith would be a good airplane too if that's the way you go.

What is at issue here, cost? for 3/16 nuts, nylok are .09, all metal .15.
Heck, I just like the looks of the metal ones FWF so I spent the extra $2... :)

| Subject: | Re: RV6A max demonstrated X-wind |
--> RV-List message posted by: Denis Walsh <denis.walsh@comcast.net>
My opinion is the limit for me is around 25K on a dry concrete runway
with gusts no more than 10. Limits are most certainly different for
each pilot and each gross weight. They are also different for the 3,
4, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Very similar for the 6.
I have no claims to expertise in this field. I am not now, nor ever
intend to be a CFI. I will modestly claim to be the best crosswind
landing RV-6A driver I know. I vividly remember my pre solo check in
the SNJ-5 in the spring of 1956. The last item on the check ride was
to demonstrate crosswind landing proficiency. If you passed you went
to Pace field for your solo. I got to go, but just barely.
Cross wind landing in the RV-6A has fascinated me from the first
flight. I have gone to great lengths to practice them on every
occasion I can manufacture. Yes I have cracked a wheel pant, but not
rolled a tire or left the runway.
My RV experience is several thousand landings of which about 3 percent
are enough of a crosswind to require crosswind procedures. This is
about a hundred at most.
I cannot tell you how to do a good crosswind landing. I can tell you
that you should go out and practice them on every occasion you can.
Find an airport with ninety degree runways, and good dry pavement. My
three rules are: Don't exceed 70 MPH; kill the drift and sink rate;
and touch down on the upwind main first. . I would recommend not
lowering the nose until you are sure you are on the ground, both mains,
and not skidding/sliding or bouncing. It is at that point that you
choose to lower the nose or go around.
INDEED it is the gusts that will get you in a light airplane. INDEED
it is just as you are decelerating that you are most vulnerable.
Truly a maneuver worth practicing. Truly the finest crosswind airplane
I have ever flown.
Please practice often, you will learn a whole lot. I did. Of course
many of you may not need as much practice as I do, but I would offer
that I had been flying fifty years before I started in on my 1400 hours
of RV-A flying, and I still had a lot of room for improvement.
Denis
P S If you want to improve your plane's tolerance for crosswind, get an
electronic ignition. It made my motor accelerate faster from idle.

Dan,
Thank you for your very thorough report and advice. I (experimental) and several
other "store bought" airplane drivers are heading into Baja in March and your
summary will be very helpful.
Thanks again.

Hope this helps:
http://www.rvproject.com/2004_mexico_trip_log.html
I put together a pretty comprehensive trip report. It goes into the whole
process of planning, insurance, etc. I even posted a complete list of fees
(fuel was only $2.51/gal) and all costs I encountered. I'm still working on
captions for the photos on the trip home, but the basic info is all there.
I sweated over lots of details, specifically insurance. In the end the trip
was really easy, totally uneventful. Going forward it's gonna be SO much
easier -- especially now that BBP is offering Mexican insurance for
experimentals. They didn't offer that until literally the afternoon before
I left (bastards). I had to dig for insurance elsewhere.
Hopefully this trip log will help other people by making the planning
process easier.
I have every intention of flying back down to several spots in Mexico in
2005.

I'm one of the many who ordered their kits this week to avoid the Jan
price increase (Barbara(?) at Vans told me they received 40 quickbuild
orders Monday). Now that I'm really committed to the -8A, I've been
thinking of the prep needed for the April QB kit delivery. I like the
idea of rotating fuselage stands and want to construct them myself. I
tried the Search feature and got some ideas - including modification of
the $50 engine stands. A couple questions:
* Where would I get the engine stands to modify?
* Has anyone published plans for a rotating fuselage stand (both
using the engine stand or starting from scratch)?

--> RV-List message posted by: "Kosta Lewis" <mikel@dimensional.com>
>Remember: You are the Pilot in Command. Ask for the Taxi way, you will
be >told it's at your own risk, but when is flying not?
I was in Casper WY once in the Cub and wind was 35 gusting to 45. I
asked for the ramp, which they said they couldn't approve, and landed AT
the tie down, rolling about 5 feet. Someone came out and parked a pickup
in front and held on to the lift struts while we fueled. I departed from
the same place, with the towers' same disapproval, and, again, rolled
about 5 feet. Told the guys holding the struts to let go as soon as the
tail came up (immediately) or they were going to Billings with me. We
went up like a Bell Jet Ranger. I have also landed on many a taxiway and
once on the airport road. Do what you have to do to get on the ground
safely.
Cross wind landings, as stated, are so variable that there is no set
speed of cross wind to call them. I have landed in 20 kts stated in
Suzie Q, direct cross wind without upwind buildings complicating things.
You just set up in final and if you can correct crab and land on the
upwind wheel before you run out of rudder, you probably will do fine.
MANY variables, however, can change things. I always wheel land in
strong cross winds but know folks that were not even taught wheel
landings; they were just demonstrated. Yikes. I have rolled a fair
distance on one wheel in both the Cub and -4 before I slowed enough to
let the tail down. As Denis says, however: practice, practice, practice.
Flying only on nice calm days is fine until you get somewhere that is
not nice and calm and the fuel is near "E" and you HAVE to land. Angling
across a wide runway is also helpful for both landing and takeoff, by
the way, but you should have PRACTICED those first. So is going to
another airport with a runway pointing more into the wind.
Get to know your airplane; you'll love it. And be a better pilot for it.
Practice, etc.....

Paul,
To buy the engine stand cheaply, watch the sale sheets for your local
Discount Auto, Advance Auto, Pep Boys Auto, Auto Zone, etc. I've seen them
as cheap as $40. Harbor Freight & Northern Tools are two other good sources.

FWIW, in the spirit of do-it-yourself, I bought one of these kits (actually,
a group order for SoCal RVators):
http://www.electronic-kits-and-projects.com/4055.htm
I soldered it up and it passed the "truck tailpipe test" as well as
detecting different vapors (i.e. butane, acetone...not relevant but an
interesting plus). I haven't installed it in the plane yet, but soon I will
mount it over the heat manifold and hook it into the ACS2002 and one of its
"user input" circuits. That way it will give me an audio plus and on-screen
alert. The sensitivity can be tuned with a simple pot adjustment.
Hard to beat the price, customizability, and the DIY factor.

--> RV-List message posted by: Bruno <rv4@videotron.ca>
Hello All
For anyone considering buying a BMA Efis Lite,you should
be aware of the real price which is $3040.00 USD. This include the unit and
the " Mandatory Update" of the DataBase for the first 12 months of In-sevice
of the unit + "mandatory 3-day shipping because BMA believe the units are
banged up too much during ground shipping.
It would be nice for BMA to stipulate the real price of the unit on their
web site so any potential buyer wouldn't get a nasty surprise when checking
their credit card bill.
It's not something that would prevent any real buyer from purchasing the
unit but it would be nice to know in advance I thick.

I liked the idea of the engine stand but I want to be able to do more
than you can with the engine stand. I want to have the height
adjustable as well as rotate the fuselage. I don't like the idea of
having the tail unsupported while rotating the thing around or raising
it up and down so my idea includes 2 stands that are basically the same
thing, one at each end. I have a few screen captures of my very early
design here http://cdw.homelinux.com:8088/aviation/stands/
If you like the concept and would really like to build a set I will be
happy to finish up the model and make drawings. Any input on the design
would also be welcome. My plan is to have it so you can build it using
only a cut off saw, drill press, welder and grinder.
