I have had an ElectoAir system in place of my right mag for 1100 hours -
since 1996. I have two toggles for ignition and a button for the
starter. In discussions with ElectoAir (Jeff Rose) in 1997, I learned
the system may not default to zero degrees BTDC unless the computer sees
rotation at the timing device. I count two blades while cranking and
then apply power to the Electoair system - no kickback for the last 1000
hours. Bill Gunn, RV 4

From day one, mine has ran so hot, you cant hold on to it. I called

I have some close friends in Law Enforcement here in Michigan. The problem is,
at least here in MI, if there is not an active case number to reference for an
inquiry into the LEIN system (Law Enforcement Information Network), the person
can get into big trouble accessing it. My suggestion would be to contact your
local Law Enforcement agency and see what the felony threshold is for "Larceny
by False pretense" or whatever similar larceny/fraud charge that your situation
should fall under. If your amount exceeds the felony threshold, you may
be able to get them to issue a warrant, and most states will extradite for a
felony warrant. Just having the Police Dept. contact him with the information
that a warrant is going to be issued may be enough to get him to pay you back.

Is Van's still selling the Cole-Hersee brand, as there is none better IMO?
If not Cole-Hersee (White-Rogers or similar) I would recommend you go and buy
a Cole-Hersee at your local boating store. If it is the good brand then
look for problems elsewhere in your grounding circuit to the small side terminal.

Unfortunately, this sounds like a civil case. Had the money been stolen, or
taken - that's almost a felony theft (in Texas). But a bad debt - that's
hard to collect.
Best of luck.
definitely not a lawyer. But do know a couple that are fairly decent people
and have encountered a situation very similar to this one. When the guy who
took the money realized it was not a bad debt and was a felony theft, the
cash materialized very quickly...

I just installed XM WORX weather via Anywhere Map system...have only one
short flight in clear conditions but METAR and TAF came through just
fine...looked down at ABQ area where there was lots of weather and it showed
up just very plainly and crispy...looking forward to reducinig my concern
about summer thunderstorms with this unit. I got it installed in my RV6A
fairly neatly, but power cords are still needed....GPS is 12-channel
Bluetooth, WAAS enabled with rechargable batteries if you want to eliminate
one more power wire, and the XM receiver is also Bluetooth so at least data
wires aren't running around. So my view is that it is a very nice
presentation...also today is the last day of a $200 price reduction by
Control Vision on their Anywhere Map weather system...for what that's worth.

I've seen the WX Worx XM satellite weather system in action in the last
week, and I am very, very impressed. We were looking for heavy snow on
Friday to do some Enhanced Vision System testing. A band of heavy snow
went through Wichita, but it took so long to get de-iced that the
visibility had improved before we could get airborne. The WX Worx
display was showing the band of heavy precip on radar, and the 5 minute
loop showed it moving towards Topeka. We landed at Kansas City, waited
an hour, then took off for Topeka. We got there before the snow did,
so we set up in a holding pattern at 5,000 ft at the Final Approach
Fix, which was about 5 miles from the runway. We could watch the heavy
precip on the radar updates, and sure enough, the snow arrived at the
FAF, but there was enough resolution on the display to show that it
hadn't arrived at the airport yet, which was only 5 miles away. We
watched the snow crawling towards the airport on every 5 minute update.
Finally the tower reported that the snow had arrived, just when the WX
Worx showed it hitting the airport. Great system!
I will eventually purchase a real time weather system, and right now
the XM stuff is the front runner.

In my opinion one thing that really makes a good sport airplane fun to fly
is lightweight. And it is tough to get much lighter than an RV-3. What I
like is the power to weight ratio. If I were building an RV-3 I would use
the optimum power to weight curve to choose the engine. I think the 180 HP
is probably too heavy and the 0-235 doesn't have the power of a 150 or 160
hp, an O-320 might be just right. I notice on my RV6 that there is a BIG
difference between one and two people.
Lightness counts, take out all of those lightening holes. The driving
philosophy in building my RV6 was lightness. I came out at 1023 lbs not
too bad for a 180 HP. I would have broken 1000 lbs if I had gone with an
160 HP. An RV6 less than 1000 lbs must be a real hoot to fly!

You might check the orientation of the master relay. As I remember they
need to be mounted in a certain position. Check the archives.

A quick question for those running an electronic ignition with a

Do you guys run both when cruising? If you do, how does the different
timing of each unit affect each other, while cruising?
Thanks

Yes you should run both when cruising. The timing will advance on the EI
and very closely match the firing/timing of the Mag at cruise rpm. It is a
matter of dual spark that gives better fuel burn compared with only one
spark in each cylinder if one or the other were turned off. And if one plug
goes bad, the cylinder is not missing totally. EI timing changes with rpm
and gives better engine running at slower rpms when its spark is retarted
compared to the fixed 25 degrees of the mag.

| Subject: | Why the Vans Service Bulletin - TIP UP Canopy 7 and 9s...? |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Kelly Patterson" <kbob@cox.net>
Hi Gang,
I'm building a 6A with tip-up, but always scrutinize any SB for Van's
aircraft. This SB should apply to the 6 also. My Engineering background
shed some light on the reason for the mod. See if you agree.
The original design has a *potential* failure if you flip the airplane on
it's back. The load (from front to back) must travel through the channel -
into the angle - up the bulkhead - then back through the top skin. This
means there is a 3/4" jog in the load path and the bulkhead is a poor member
to resist bending. To fix it Van's simply added a shim that skips the angle
and transfers the load directly from the channel into the rear skin through
the new rivets or screws. Look at the SB to see what I mean.
In my case I was able to fab my own 0.080 thick shim (YMMV) and drill a few
more rivets through the skin, shim and channel, identical to what the SB
shows. It is not required on the 6, but is a "good thing" so it's now on my
plane. BTW - it won't come apart in flight if you have not done this.
Why Van's didn't include the 6 in the SB is beyond me, it appears to apply
to all of the side by side tip-ups.

My -6A has the old method of assembly and hasn't come apart, yet. If
you have the older style brace, and have it already past the point of
no return, I'm not sure I'd worry with it. There are hundreds of
tip-ups using the old configuration. Mine hasn't come
apart, yet. Of course, it could fly apart on the next flight. :-)
I wonder why they made the change?

Hi John,
Depends a bit on whose system you are using. Most take into account
manifold pressure, so that at low power settings the timing will advance in
excess of the fixed mag timing of 25 degrees BTDC, up to 40 degrees BTDC.
At cruise power, this advanced timing will allow you to lean the mixture
more, thereby saving fuel.
Full throttle at 8000 feet would most likely have both ignitions firing at
the factory recommended 25 degrees, but you should have both turned on at
any time except starting or doing a mag check.

I run 'em both all the time. The Lightspeed ignition will advance at
altitude and gives better economy than mags. If I turn the mag off at
cruise, I can't tell the difference. I think it's along for the ride. If
I turn off the EI, I lose a remarkable amount of power and it runs less
smoothly. I can lean much more aggressively with the EI also. My new
plane will have two of them and no mags.

A quick question for those running an electronic ignition with a
standard mag.
Do you guys run both when cruising? If you do, how does the different
timing of each unit affect each other, while cruising?
Thanks

I have decided to install only one leading edge landing light from Duckworks.
Is there a convention for which wing?
I'm thinking the right wing.

--> RV-List message posted by: Charlie England <ceengland@bellsouth.net>
I'm preparing to close a pair of aux tanks & need some advice on the
requirements for gauges on aux fuel tanks.
Is any gauge required if the aux tank simply feeds a main tank?
If yes, is a simple empty indicator sufficient?
Thanks,
Charlie

Hi Bill
Fellow CO resident. I use a Fujitsu LT 600p with XM WXWorxs. I love it. Works as
asvertised. Expensive but it has saved me a bunch of hotel bills and anxiety.

OK......... I had a fuel pump that needed replaced. I think I told you...
I got one off ebay that I am sure is new. It is installed and all hooked up.
I have not run it yet to see its performance. I have about three point
three hours on it at this time.
Not flying much because off weather but when weather is good, I have
been flying with Don Murphy who bought the 6 out in AZ. We brought it
back in about 8 hours flying time from Kingman. It was a rea l pretty
trip home, we passed three snow capped peaks. His airplane was shitting
and getting coming home.
We flew at 9500 feet most of the way except around Albequerque, we went
to 11500.
Van now has the upper and lower gear leg intersection fairings so I
ordered a set.. Then I will put gear fairings back on. I did some speed
runs up at 9500 feet and I am truing out at about 190.
This also verifies with four directional runs that averaged out to 190
ground speed. I think when I get the fairings on it, it will do pretty
close to 200 at altitude....
I need to go back to work so I will have more time. We are planning for
Sun and Fun now. I guess there will be about four RV going down together...
I have been doing a little picking. I am working on boil dem Cabbage
down. I am not fast and not hitting all the notes right yet but it is
starting to come to me. Still singing on Friday nights.
Three weeks ago, I "butchered" a song on the radio oh well only about
10000 people were listening...... They dont know me.......I started out
in the wrong key and I couldnt hit the note right. My old lady said it
sounded very bad...... What does she know about singing?
I hope to fly some this week. Tomorrow, I have to go to SPI FAA to get
CFI renewed. Then I will be good for two more years on it. Also getting
repairmans certificat for RV6........
Thats all. Phil

I think the directions show a left wing installation, but it is just as easy
to reverse it.

For whatever reason, I'm having a hard time visualizing this "jog" --
there's a rib that runs along the center of that top skin. The angle which
the channel rivets to is riveted directly to the rib (the bulkhead happens
to be sandwiched in between). From where I sit, the load is transmitted:
- roll bar
- channel
- angle
- RIB
- top skin
If you take that rib out of the picture, sure, I can clearly see the "jog"
issue...but with the rib serving to translate the load from the angle to the
top skin, seems to me anything else is superfluous. But that's why I'm NOT
an engineer, I guess. Maybe somebody who knows what he's talking about can
set me straight.

I too have been on WX worx with a fujitsu LT-600 since Sept, and I would no more
fly in the weather without it than I would fly at night without a flashlight.
Could I? yes to both, but why would I????
I have said before, I think here, 70% of aviation accidents are WX related. GPS
is great, but we were not crashing because we got lost. With WX worx, if you
fly into a TRW, it was because you chose to do it. This is a REALLY BIG
DEAL!!!!!
