--> RV-List message posted by: "Martin Hone" <mctrader@bigpond.net.au>
Hi guys,
I was reading the Wings Forum about the refurbishing of an RV4, and the
author mentioned about the engine not having a brace between the alternator
and the starter motor. This is news to me, and I am wondering if others are
using such a devise to support the alternator, presumabley to prevent
breaking the support arm ?
If so, what material is suggested and what are the mounting points ?
Cheers

Hey Don't feel bad Dana.
My close friend IA/A/P, just got his transponder back from the shop. I
asked him what the problem was. He said, "I'm a dumbA#@ That's what!"
He had the same problem you did Dana. Only instead of asking someone, he
sent it in for repair! Cost him $50 for them to tell him he is a bigger
dope than you! HA!
Just when you think you're a dope, someone is gonna out dope you.
In my buddy's case, he is a low time pilot and never owned a plane with
a transponder so he had absolutely no experience with this. Even though
the FAA trusts him with our lives on the heavy's.

Does the XM weather system have a fog or haze symbol? In this case, how could
it have made a difference? I know this was probably avoidable even w/o looking
up the particulars of this flight using existing ground info & getting a preflight
WX brief. But once airborne and you need updated final destination or
fuel stop fog conditions, can XM weather in the cockpit help?

Lucky,
Your post refers to some accident which I am not familiar with, however, XM
does provide real-time weather METARS and TAF's for the entire country.
(see it at www.wxworx.com)
It has already helped me on just such an occasion. I departed Wichita for
Mason City IFR. The MCW weather was 100 ft & 3/4 mi. That was probably a
doable approach because it was going to be dark when I arrived and the
approach lights would reach into the fog allowing me to land. My alternate
was Fort Dodge Iowa and they had alternate minimums 600-2 or better reported
and forecast. I was going to be min fuel for night IFR when I got to Fort
Dodge. I departed and fired up my XM going. I was watching Mason City,
hoping for improvement, but because the map showed Fort Dodge as well, I
watched it start to fall apart. About 100 miles from MCW Fort Dodge went to
300 foot ceiling with a 24 knot gusting,quartering tailwind on the ILS.
Without the ability to circle, this was a BAD PLAN.
I had briefed a buddy before I departed that I might need a ride and he
should stand-by to pick me up in Fort Dodge. He looked at the Mason City
weather and had already left.
Plan "C" in the back of my mind had been Des Moines, which had good weather,
but there on the XM Map was Ames Iowa with an 800 foot ceiling. I sent a
Text message to my buddy to pick me up in Ames. Ames is actually closer
than Fort Dodge by car, and because he was already started, when I landed
he was 20 minutes away. When the airplane was put to bed, he was there.
Without the XM if I had called flight watch early in the trip, before the
weather started to deteriorate at Fort Dodge, I may have continued, and it
could have be a "no fun" experience. Once things start to fall apart, the
sense of urgency increases and we tend to make poorer decisions. With the
XM on my lap, I had all the information I needed to make good decisions
early and there was no stress at all!!!! I don't need adrenaline rushes any
more, been there done that!
At the risk of being redundant, if you do lots of cross country flying, this
XM is a REALLY BIG DEAL! I just won't venture too far from home without it.
Tailwinds,
Doug Rozendaal

For XM you need a satellite receiver and something to display the data. A
GPS to reference the display to your current position is optional, but very
important.
There are several choices. The first is portable or aircraft installed. I
chose the portable because the installed is more expensive by a factor of,
at least, five. I also fly several different airplanes.
There are several portable solutions, and the list is growing. WX Worx has
a tablet/laptop solution. This is what I use and I think it is the best.
Anywhere Map can use XM data and display it on a PDA or other devices. I
have used it and I did not like it. The PDA is too slow and short on memory
and I would not recommend it. I know people who love it, but I am guessing
they have not used the WX Worx solution.
Air Gator has a solution. They claim an all Bluetooth wireless PDA product,
but the last time I spoke with them they recommended their hardwire option.
I have not used their product.
As for the PC solution, Laptops don't work in airplanes. A Tablet is a
must, especially in an RV with a small cockpit. Small Tablet PC's are
expensive, but their are some ebay or other surplus options. I bought a
nice fujitsu LT-600 with a daylight screen for $600 on ebay. I realize that
was a steal, but if you keep your eyes open, you can find some good deals.
I am sure that in a year or two, your Handheld GPS will have this data
displayed on it. I can't wait!!!!
Tailwinds,
Doug

--> RV-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" <dan@rvproject.com>
The NWS (National Weather Service) has a relatively new service that makes
XML forecast data available for any latitude/longitude you throw at it.
What this means is that we no longer have to rely on the "nearest terminal
forecast" for a useful forecast.
Now you can get a detailed forecast for the exact location you're concerned
with. I wrote a new web service that takes your airport identifier, passes
its lat/lon to the NWS NDFD service, and renders an easy-to-interpret chart
of the forecast for that location.
Go here:
http://www.rvproject.com/wx/
...and click on "NWS Forecast" at the top of the page. Enter your airport
identifier, click the button, done deal.
Enjoy,

Dan, this is another great tool you have assembled! I have set the Local
METARS to my local airport (DCU) and find your page to be one of the
most useful weather links in my Bookmarks. Since it is text based, it is
also a fantastic link for when I use my Dell PDA hooked to my cell
phone. The page loads quickly and gives me the most important weather
data for the area.
Thanks again,

No, DVD or CD player, but I upload the sportys approach chart DVD to the
harddrive. It takes a couple gig, but I have 15 gig on the disk. When it
is IMC I have played solitaire......
Also, I forgot to add the XM subscription price is $49 or $29/ month. The
49 gets you ACCURATE winds aloft among other things. I am certain that the
speed gain from that info will pay the subscription. I'm getting much
better ground speeds by fling at the correct altitudes. Not to mention what
I save when I make it home instead of staying out because of a line of
weather that I don't want to cross....

Im just trying to figure out a way to make the most use out of one screen.
Ideally I would be able to get terrain info, gps overlay, wx, instrument
apprs and dvds all on the same screen. Im not sure if its possible yet but
I bet its getting close.

I have to cut the NACA duct cockpit ventilation holes on an existing 6A
with hanging rudder petals. Please give suggestions on the placement
relative to the firewall attach rivets and the row of rivets perpendicular
to the firewall nearest the windshield. I would like to be able to remove
the rudder pedals without removing the NACA ducts. Also what did you use
to attach them? A link to a picture would be great. Thanks in advance.

| Subject: | Panel mounted PCs was XM Weather |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Doug Rozendaal" <dougr@petroblend.com>
Good thing it is slow at work today.......
Avidyne is trying to do that in a panel mounted product, (an Avidyne is
really just a Panel mounted PC) and some of the PDA products are trying to
do that on a PDA, but they seem to do the "jack of all trades, master of
none" scenario. I am using my "Electronic Flight Bag" for Weather and
approach plates. I am certain I will be using it for more stuff as time
goes on.
I can see that soon we will have panel mounted PC's in homebuilts that do
all this stuff cost effectively. The display is the toughest ($$$$) part
that I see. It needs to be as bright as a Garmin 430 with a touchscreen, and
any thing less than 8.4" gets too small. That is a big chunk of panel space
in a -4 0r -8. My tablet could never be mounted because I have to move it
to reduce glare.
Before I bought my fujitsu, I was looking at all the Car PC stuff that is
out there. I kept coming up short. Any of you computer geeks got any good
ideas for a machine with a 1GHZ processor, a 20gig hard drive and a smaller
compact flash drive and a pressure switch on the hard drive that shuts it
down at 12,000 ft. All this with a 2000 nit 8.4 inch touch screen for under
a $1000 bucks????? Oh by the way it needs to have some kind of power
management that starts it up when you turn on the avionics master and shuts
it down the same way.
After all my research, the tablet PC was still the best solution I could
find, and I can move it around between airplanes.

The Mac Mini is making giant leaps into the Car PC market. a box the
size of a portable CD-player, two inches thick, with a 1.25Ghz
processor, 20G drive, and USB slots, for $500. Plug a CF reader into
one of the USB slots if you need to.
Why does the Hard Drive need to shut down at 12000'? Supply your own
screen, but since the Mac Mini is only $500 you've got $500 to work with
to stay within your budget... You can get really nice LCD monitors for
that, so you should be able to get a tiny touchscreen.

Why? Add to your start-up checklist right after "turn on avionics
master" and right before "turn on radios" (you do turn your radios off
before turning the master off, right?). Mac's boot pretty fast these
days. Similarly for shutdown, although most Macs and PC's these days
can handle the power cord being pulled.

Stormy, you have to realize that Doug is sorta a new pilot and he hasn't
figured out all this airplane drivin' stuff yet. Matter of fact, here is
a quote from one of his earlier post and you will see that his
qualifications are sorta limited:
"I will share that I am an ATP, CFII, MEI, with type ratings in the
B-25, PBY, DC-3 and additional authorized aircraft rating in the P-51,
F-4U, & T-28 with an "all makes and models, single and multi-engine
piston powered endorsement."
So ya see, he is kinda a dangerous fellow. Get him on your tail with him
in the P-51 and you are dead meat!!!!!
I suspect Doug is capable of playing a pretty hot hand of Solitaire
while in IMC if the mood strikes him...... :-)
Doug, it is good to still have you on the list after all these years!

| Subject: | Re: NACA ducts on RV6 or 6A |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Jim Jewell" <jjewell@telus.net>
Hello Mathew,
I installed my ducts as shown in the picture and drawing attached.
I reinforced the duct attachment by cutting a ring with the same profile as
the plastic duct mounting flange.
I used Pro-seal (tank sealant) between the duct and the skin as a glue and
weather sealant. I put the reinforce ring over the plastic and riveted all
in place.
Others have not reinforced or riveted but I tend toward being a bit anal I
guess.
If you do not intend to install the side cowling hinge pins so as to be
pulled out and pushed in from the NACA duct area the measurements will be
much less critical and installing them higher would make rudder pedal block
bolt access a bit easier.
Done as shown in the photo I can still get the pedal blocks and assembly in
and out.
The measurements in this area (cowling split) might vary slightly from one
homebuilt RV to another so do some careful measuring before cutting.
I used a short length of hobby store tubing as a hinge pin guide for the
distance from the NACA duct to the firewall. I sealed it in place with
Pro-seal.
The measurements from the upper and forward areas are from the skin edges
not the rivet lines.
I used screws to hold my top cowling in place so there should not be any
engine warmed air leaking into the duct as someone else cautioned me
about.?!
I used some screen door fabric over the NACA duct and pushed the scat tubing
on over it to keep the bugs out. (see I told you I am a bit anal) {[B-)
I hope this helps some,
Jim in Kelowna

What's the point of having an autopilot if you don't trust it? One
reason the EZ-Pilot is in my RV-6 is so I have an aid if for some reason
I can't figure out how to extract myself from a dicey situation. In a
case like that, I will trust the EZ-Pilot with my life!
I have also found that the auto-pilot can fly my plane better than I can
when I am under the hood.........

--> RV-List message posted by: "Doug Rozendaal" <dougr@petroblend.com>
1 Monitors:
I have not seen a commercially available screen for a fair price. There is
a product called an T-pad 800 that is a touchscreen display that plugs into
a PC but it costs ~$1400 plus the computer. Lilyputt makes a 7" touchscreen
monitor, for around $500 bucks but it is only 200 nits, It it way too dim
for a fixed mounting in a canopy type airplane.
2 Hard drives:
The company that invented much of the hard drive technology is called
"Hutchtech" in Hutchison MN. The owner is a pilot and the head on a
harddrive is shaped like and airfoil and rides on a layer of air molecules
that the disk drags with it while it is spinning. At high altitudes that
layer of air gets too thin and the head can crash into the disk.
3 Start up:
I have had to reboot several times to get all the com ports to talk to the
XM reciever and GPS, so you need some way to control the PC in the baggage
or avionics bay from the pilot seat.
4 IFR autopilots and solitare:
If your autopilot can't fly better than you can, either you need a new
autopilot. There is a big misconception about IFR. I fly IFR because it is
easier. No Nav worries, No TFR worries, No restricted area worries, no
class B or C worries, all that and mandatory radar traffic advisories. Just
change frequency headings and altitudes when they tell you, and fuel tanks
when you are supposed to, or when the engine quits. Nothing to it. I fly
alot of IFR and it gets really boring. I listen to Faith Hill or Willie
Nelson and when it is IMC, play solitare. (actually freecell or spider
solitare)
5 Tenure:
I looked at the archive, my first post was Oct. 17, 1996, I crashed my
Cassutt a month earlier and I had pretty much decided to buy an RV so I
subscribed. I have been on the list since then. O bought my first -4 the
following spring and my second in '03. I have flown nearly 1000 hours in
RV's since then. Not being a builder, the list helps me look after
maintenance on my airplane. In return, I hope I have contributed some value
on flying subjects occasionally.
Tailwinds,
Doug Rozendaal

Listers,
Here is a site with some more information on the RV-8 crash near
Rochester,IN, which tragically took the life of Wilfred Ramsey of Texas.
I heard a story on the radio today where they referred to the plane as
"homemade."
Rochester is about 20 miles north of here. We fly up there often in the
summer for breakfast.

Jeez, don't they call that 122.0, a.k.a. FlightWatch? Free for us
taxpayers...
I'm not denying the value of in-cockpit weather maps, reports, decoded data,
etc. I would love to have it! Just saying if you're like me and don't want
to spend the money on doohickeys, just key the mic on 122.0 and there's your
personal weather briefer at your service.
And while I'm on the topic of spending money -- spend the money on IFR
training (and equipment if possible). Which would you rather be:
- a VFR-only pilot with the fanciest in-cockpit weather setup
- an IFR pilot with a 40 year old radio
?
Just my 2 cents. Fly safe. do not archive

Matthew,
One thing you can do to make life easier is to split the plastic blocks
that hang the pedals in half. I cut mine with a band saw. This way I can
remove the bolts and the top half of the blocks and the pedal assembly
comes out a relatively easy.
Pax,

I have to cut the NACA duct cockpit ventilation holes on an existing 6A
with hanging rudder petals. Please give suggestions on the placement
relative to the firewall attach rivets and the row of rivets
perpendicular
to the firewall nearest the windshield. I would like to be able to
remove
the rudder pedals without removing the NACA ducts. Also what did you
use
to attach them? A link to a picture would be great. Thanks in advance.
