I must confess.
At first I thought it was a real airplane - on take off, was impressed by
the roll right after takeoff - my thought was, this guy must be an expert
among experts.
Then it dawned on me that it was an RC - until the finish I thought it was
an RC.
The posts gave away the truth - gullible I fell for it hook and sinker.
Very impressive.

OK Guys, you have asked a legitimate question, to wit: " who do you

So I'll tell you. I am a guy who has built 2 airplanes, rebuilt a

Hi Ron,
This is one of the caveats that people really need to consider when
panel
mounting a compass. A large percentage of them suffer from
un-resolveable
errors when the avionics are turned on. Simple EMF makes it difficult
to
get a panel mounted compass to be calibtrated correctly. That being
said,
they seem to work in some installations in some planes so I'm not
totally
against it. But, the majority of what I see for panel mounted compasses
in
a panel with any sort of avionics present usually results in a compass
that
never works quite right until everything is turned off!
Just my 2 cents as usual.
Cheers,
Stein.

I have a vertical card compass mounted in my instrument panel that has
an
error that I have not been able to calibrate out:
At North, It indicates 15 degrees
At South, it indicates 165 degrees
At east and west it is dead on.
If I adjust the error out at north - make it read 0, then it reads 150
when
pointed south or vise versa - if I calibrate the error out at south -
make
it read 180, then it reads 30 degrees when pointed north.
I understand that a small magnet(s) can be mounted near the compass to
help
take these errors out. I have tried this I am not having much luck in
removing these errors.
Any one have any experience in correcting these errors?
THANKS
Ronnie

--> RV-List message posted by: rveighta <rveighta@earthlink.net>
Guys, I'm building an IFR RV-8 and I need to decide what antenna(s) I'll need and
where to mount them. The Comant CI-215 covers picks up VOR, GS & LOC signals,
but I would prefer mounting an antenna or antennas in the wingtip(s) that
does the same thing.
From the archives it appears that Bob Archer's Vor wingtip antenna works well,
but I found no reference to glide slope does this antenna also pick up these
signals? Or can it be modified to do so? Aslo, when used as a VOR antenna, I
would assume that you would not need such an antenna in each wing?
If I can't go with a triple function wingtip antenna, I guess the next best would
be a belly mount of the CI-215
as some have done. Are those of you who have gone this route pleased with the recption,
esthetics, etc.?

Walt,
I have Bob Archer's VOR antenna in two IFR airplanes, RV-6 and -7, both work
really well for VOR and ILS reception. Only one antenna is required for VOR
reception...you will have to add an outer marker antenna of some sort. I
used Bob's copper foil kit for this purpose, also glassed into one of the
wing tips. No need for the external belly antenna...

The esthetics no doubt would be better with the wing tip ant (which
should also work for Loc/GS). But, I've been lead to believe
reception will be better with the belly mount?!

I have been flying a few years and have experience. he RV is a lousy
glider, slightly more lousy with C/S in flat pitch. No oil pressure
and you are in similar straits with either. Good oil pressure you may
have pitch control but dare not count on it. Always practice with idle
and flat pitch.
No big safety issue difference in my experience. For me no significant
difference. If you want and need C/S I certainly wouldn't rule it out
because of safety differences.
I cannot justify C/S with an RV because it performs so great with F/P.
Too much extra dough.
But hell I got one anyway and I love it. It gives me afterburner and
speed brakes not to mention aerobatics with no throttle jocking.
So much for definitive information.

Hi All,
Chris and George seem to be discussing maximum theoretical propeller
efficiency.
Theoretical propeller efficiency:
91.5% for a 2 blade propeller
90.7% for a 3 blade propeller.
Empirical data (actual measurements) shows real 2 blade propellers have
around 87% to 88% propeller efficiency.
What does this really mean?
For a 2 blade propeller at 87% efficiency on an aircraft able to fly at 200
mph.
The theoretical 2 blade propeller at 91.5% efficiency would allow the
aircraft to fly at 205 mph. (How about some of you data types checking this
information?)
For a 200 mph aircraft, that's about 1 mph for every 1% change in
efficiency. Which is what Chris said for the difference in theoretical propeller
efficiency between a 2 blade propeller and a 3 blade propeller.
Regards,
Jim Ayers

I can't speak to the specifics about any particular 2 vs 3 blade prop,

various numbers of blades. I know that had 2, 3 and 4 blade props in
their data and maybe more. As you pointed out, more blades are less
efficient, however the difference in efficiency between a 2 and a 3
bladed prop is very small. I don't remember the exact numbers, but I do
remember calculating that at 200 mph, the difference would be no more
than 1 mph.

Hi All,
The Rocket pilots found one answer to your safety concerns with a CS
propeller.
The counterweighted blade propeller goes to a coarse pitch with the loss of
oil pressure.
The "standard" CS propeller goes to fine pitch with the loss of oil pressure.
(Sale pitch - Ignore if this offends you.) The MT 3 blade propeller with
counterweighted blades weighs almost as much as the "standard" 2 blade
Hartzell.
Another answer is the electric CS propeller. The propeller blade angle is
independent of oil pressure.
The propeller blades are almost feathered at coarse pitch with the MT
electric CS propeller on my RV-3. (The 3 blade MT propeller on my RV-3 propeller
weighs 39 pounds. Limited to 160 hp max.)
(More sales pitch) Did I mention that MT Propeller custom designs
propellers?
Both fixed pitch and constant speed (CS) propellers?
Regards,
Jim Ayers

Safety! This is one issue which has been batted around; it concerns CS and
power failure mainly for hydraulic governors. I am not sure I am quite at
ease as to what would happen under different scenarios:
- cruise speed, zero power =96 engine continues to windmill thereby
maintaining the oil pressure up =96 pilot has control of the pitch =96 he can
optimize his rate of decent.
- short final and zero power =96 does the prop go to low pitch hence
acts as a brake thereby forcing he pilot to push on the stick?
- Is there a minimum speed to maintain to ensure windmilling hence
maintain enough oil pressure to control the governor?
- Oil pressure failure at any speed.- what happens then?
- Engine stops (zero RPM =96 valve, con rod=85 failure) =96 what happens?
Although my mission profile dictates a CS prop, if I cannot get a
satisfactory answer to rest my mind as to what happens given these
scenarios, I might feel forced into choosing a FP.
FP vs. CS has been one of our wars however the safety issue remains and
objective appraisal as to the consequences of different scenarios and how to
handle them. Please listers, could you possibly respond only if you have
firm definitive information or experience on the CS engine failure issue?

Yes Bob Archer's antenna is good for GS, ILS, and VOR. On the SL-30 radio,
there is only one coax connection and the one antenna works great. On the
Garmin radios, you will need a splitter from one antenna to two radio jacks.
The Marker Beakon antenna is separate. My suggestion is a home made one as
Bob recommends.

Guys, I'm building an IFR RV-8 and I need to decide what antenna(s) I'll
need and where to mount them. The Comant CI-215 covers picks up VOR, GS &
LOC signals, but I would prefer mounting an antenna or antennas in the
wingtip(s) that does the same thing.
From the archives it appears that Bob Archer's Vor wingtip antenna works
well, but I found no reference to glide slope does this antenna also pick
up these signals? Or can it be modified to do so? Aslo, when used as a VOR
antenna, I would assume that you would not need such an antenna in each
wing?
If I can't go with a triple function wingtip antenna, I guess the next best
would be a belly mount of the CI-215
as some have done. Are those of you who have gone this route pleased with
the recption, esthetics, etc.?

| Subject: | Builder Feedback Requested for Kitplanes Magazine (Alternative |
Engines)
--> RV-List message posted by: "Cory Emberson" <bootless@earthlink.net>
Hello everyone,
I've subscribed (quietly) to this list for a little more than a year, and
would like to hear from you if you're a builder who has successfully
installed and flown an alternative engine in your plane. I'm writing a
builder's roundup for Kitplanes magazine, and am looking for an installation
that's flown for a minimum of 150 hours, and is currently flying.
For the builders that we profile, the magazine will also be able to pay you
$100 for the write-up. We would also need at least 2-3 good photos,
including a close-up of the engine and an overall shot of the aircraft.
Additional photos would be great, and all photos will be returned. If you
have digital photos, it is very important that they be high-resolution, at
least 300 dpi.
I have a list of specific areas to address if you'd like to participate, but
we can handle that off-line.
Please feel free to contact me off-line at:
cory @ lightspeededit.com (remove the spaces - my anti-spam protection)
or reply offline to my list email address.
I have a rather short deadline, so if you're able to contact me as soon as
you're able, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you so much!
best,
Cory Emberson

One of Bob's in your wingtip will do it all.
You'll have to put a strip of AL in there on the opposite side of the
wingtip for your marker beacon. Bobs directions cover it. It also works
great as an FM antenna!

Guys,
I'd like to thank you all who responded knowledgeably on the safety aspects
of the CS vs. FP prop. Your responses have cleared some misconceptions on my
part and given me enough to ask the right questions when the time comes to
decide. At this time, I am confident that hydraulic constant speed is best
suited for my mission profile (I hate jargon but this term seems to be
pretty well understood by you all) - it will then be a question as to which
prop on which governor on which engine.
Safety issues will then have to be worked out on the basis of testing given
different scenarios.

PS - I chose hydraulic over electric CS because I read somewhere that
electric was to slow for aerobatics. (Please do not respond unless one of
you guys feels that I am mistaken.)

One Builder, on the RV List, mentioned that if Sika
295UV is to applied on Metal or Plexiglass after the
Primer has dried for 2 hours, the old Primer needs to
be cleaned and another coat of Primer applied. No
other Builders on the RV List have mentioned this.
What is the truth ????? This would be important
especially when the WHOLE Canopy is basically "tacked"
in place with the Sika 295 (using spacers between the
Plexi and Frame), allowed to cure then cut into Slider
and Windscreen - more than 2 hours will have passed.
Does the black exposed Primer need to be cleaned and
then reapplied again before Fillets are applied and
the gaps between the steel canopy frame and the canopy
are filled in. ????
Thanks, Garey RV8A

Why not call Sika, I found to be very pleasant to deal with, very
helpfull in application techniques.
As far as I can remember from talking with Sika, you put a bead on as
advertized in SIKA's app.notes (on the web) and fill in the spacer area
later as well as applying a 'look good' bead over the first bead.

The Garmin 196 runs the clock even when you power it off. I believe this
helps it get a fast satellite lock on when you power up. My experience is
that it takes several months to run the batteries down. If it runs down
very rapidly, it must be failing to get power from the power cord some how.

| Subject: | Wing Levelers & Standing on My Head |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Kyle Boatright" <kboatright1@comcast.net>
I'm very tempted (make that very, very tempted) to add a wing leveler to my airplane.
Only three things are holding me back:
1) The cost. As with all airplane related expenses, I'm sure I'll get over it.
2) My big concern - installation time. Assuming I go with the under - seat servo
installation in my RV-6, how many hours am I going to have to spend standing
on my head, drilling holes and <shriek!!> "making things fit". Aside to pre-punched
RV builders - "Just make it fit" used to be Van's mantra when you called
the tech support line. Given that there are 3,000+ non-prepunched kits flying,
it was good advise.
3) Control feel. I'm told by some that even with the wing leveler turned off, there
is additional drag in the control system. Is this true for all installations?
If so, how noticable is it?
Thanks in advance.

Kyle,
Install the servo in the wing just outboard of the aileron bellcrank. If
the RV-6 is like the RV-7 you can sandwich a bracket under the bellcrank
brackets to mount the servo. I put nutplates in the spar web, but saw a picture
posted using the bellcrank bolts. Hopefully, that person will reply also. You
will only need a pushrod about 4 inches long. And you won't have to stand
on your head to install it.
There is almost no drag with the Navaid servo.

If you use the Navaid servo, mount it on the wing tip rib:
http://www.thervjournal.com/navaid.html
This is by far the easiest install method in a flying RV. Matter of
fact, this is where I would mount a Navaid servo if I was building the
plane. Reason I mentioned the Navaid servo, it is much lighter than the
TruTrak servo. Don't know if the TruTrak servo would be heavy enough to
make you think twice about a wing tip mount, but the Navaid servo's
impact is unnoticeable when flying. Biggest hassle will be running the
control wires if you don't have a conduit in the wing. If you can push
them down an existing conduit, you are well on your way. You still have
to find a way to get the wires from behind the spar to the panel, but
hey........you built a non-prepunched kit......don't wimp out on us
now!!!! :-)

The Navaid servo has a solenoid-driven clutch that totally disengages
when power is removed. There is *no* drag when it is disengaged. The
TruTrak servo is a stepping motor that is connected all the time and you
can feel a *little* drag while moving the controls on the ground, but
you would never notice it in the air.
Ok, Kyle, no more excuses........... ;-)

Kyle,
Either do as the two previous guys suggested and put it on the wingtip
or...Trutrak sends a bracket with their RV-6 install kit that puts the servo
under the seat. Either place doesn't seem to take too much time to install.
Just my 2 cents.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Stein Bruch" <stein@steinair.com>
Hi Dale,
In your case, I would say yes. Mainly because you're not yet flying, and
there are several advantages to the D-10A over the D-10 that are worth doing
before you fly.
#1) It feeds a Serial TXPDR with only 2 wires via RS-232 over 14 wires "gray
code"
#2) Better software, better display options
#3) Don't need the laptop in the plane to run the calibration routines.
If it were me, (and it is, since I'm flying behind a regular old D-10) I
would upgrade it at the point you're at. If I were flying behind one
already wired in and feeding my Txpdr via Grey Code, I wouldn't.
Just my 2 cents as usual.
Cheers,
Stein.

With reference to an 0-320 with a rear mounted governor and a constant
speed prop: Is there any reason the prop governor oil line should not
run over the top of the engine? The distance is the same or maybe a bit
shorter. If it runs over the cylinders, it will penetrate the rear
baffle and be on the cool side of the engine.
However, most constant speed prop installations seem to have the oil
line running below the cylinders (the hot side) and penetrating the
engine baffling front floor. Is there a reason for this?

Thanks for the great suggestion. I'll first need to find a multimeter that can
show 50 microamps.
I talked with Garmin Tech support today. He said "he heard of problems like that"
and that usually updating to the latest OS and doing a hard reboot fixes it.
Hmm. Must be a Microsoft windows product.
So I guess I'll try it. I downloaded and installed OS Version 3.92 Beta with no problems. This will delete all your User waypoints and Routes, so be sure and save them first. If you don't have MapSource you can use one of the free products like found on www.easygps.com.
Here is the master reboot procedure for your Garmin:
Turn GPS off
Hold down the OUT, QUIT and NRST buttons simultaneously
While holding those buttons tap the POWER button
The unit will beep but the screen will stay blank
(if you press the power button too long, it will just turn on - not what you
want)
Continue to hold the OUT, QUIT and NRST buttons simultaneously until you hear another
beep Release the OUT, QUIT and NRST buttons
The GPS now power up on its own and will be reset.
It took a couple tries but I got it to work. Note that this also will wipe out
all User waypoints and routes.
Use at your own risk. No warranty expressed or implied. YMMV. Etc.
I don't know how this will fix the power drain problem while connected on onboard
power - but we'll see.

Jeff,
One way to get to the cause of this problem is to measure the battery
current. Take a piece of insulator (tape, cardboard, double sided circuit board,
etc.) and insulate one battery from the connector -- say at the positive end
of the series string, and bring out 2 wires. Or, bring out 2 wires and
connect the batteries externally through the meter. Put a multimeter in series
and
monitor the current drain. Is there a steady drain? 50 to 100 microamps
would run the batteries down in a few months. (Be careful not to turn the unit
on while on a sensitive range, of course.) If not, is there significant
drain during normal operation?
Hope this helps,

else.....

Tony Munday at Safeair1 has just developed a complete wing install kit
for the Navaid servo. I just bought one for my -6A for use with the Trio
EZ. The price is very reasonable. About $90.
Check out the Safeair1 web site.

Kyle,
Either do as the two previous guys suggested and put it on the wingtip
or...Trutrak sends a bracket with their RV-6 install kit that puts the
servo
under the seat. Either place doesn't seem to take too much time to
install.
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers,
Stein.

I'm very tempted (make that very, very tempted) to add a wing leveler to
my
airplane. Only three things are holding me back:
1) The cost. As with all airplane related expenses, I'm sure I'll get
over
it.
2) My big concern - installation time. Assuming I go with the under -
seat
servo installation in my RV-6, how many hours am I going to have to
spend
standing on my head, drilling holes and <shriek!!> "making things fit".
Aside to pre-punched RV builders - "Just make it fit" used to be Van's
mantra when you called the tech support line. Given that there are
3,000+
non-prepunched kits flying, it was good advise.
3) Control feel. I'm told by some that even with the wing leveler turned
off, there is additional drag in the control system. Is this true for
all
installations? If so, how noticable is it?
Thanks in advance.

Which transponders out there use serial input? I was under
the impression that there were not too many.
