--> RV-List message posted by: alan@reichertech.com
I see some replies on this item this morning, thanks. I also decided to
call Van's last night after I realized they are 3 hours behind me. Talked
with Ken on this. He knew exactly what I was talking about, and said it
was not an issue. My edge distance is 1 diameter. He said this is caused
by the seam "joggle" that is in that flange near the front to get the
flange to fit inside HS-702. The idea at that point is to attach the skin
to the spar. Catching part of the flange with less than normal distance
is fine for that rivet.
So, with that emergency aside, I'll move on! I'll finish off the right
side HS tonight, then I get to prep/prime/assemble the HS and VS.

I have seen many spinners, all aluminum I think, with small air flow
deflectors that allow for a smooth air deflection from the spinner to
the prop. This is easy enough to do on a fiberglass spinner but I wonder
if it is really all that helpful. More for moisture? More for strength
at that location? I dunno much about props/spinners other than they are
a total mystery, kinda like insurance:-)
Any thoughts on that fellas?

Dan, one of the best parts of your video is that it is NOT wide angle. It
puts the viewer in the cockpit. Many ship mounted cameras, probably most,
are very wide angle and IMNSHO simply don't make video that looks as nice.
The plane is distorted, and the world looks 4000 miles away. The mountain
backdrop in your video would almost disappear with a wide angle lens.
Just my opinion,

Measure the ID in mm, then get that size lens. If you can't find a lens in
that thread size, you can get setup and step down adapter rings. See a good
camera shop.

If we are talking about the same thing, the ones I've seen look like
a narrow flange on the spinner where the blade cutouts are. I have
always assumed they were to add strength. The airflow is going to be
so churned up in that area that I can't imagine what you could do
that would improve performance. I think you are just adding weight
and build time if you try to do anything there.
Just my opinion.

This just points up the regional differences between FSDOs. Some claim it
all prop changes to a different prop are major, some obviously don't. Go

Here ya go, Dan; this is the lens I used:
http://tinyurl.com/ouj0
Mount threads are 37mm. You will need an adapter (check at a camera
store) if the camera threads are not 37mm. Or, you can probably just
tape the thing to the front of your lens.
Here is the wide-angle lens offered by JVC:
http://tinyurl.com/63orf
This lens are so inexpensive they are great for experimenting. You may
not want to use it all the time but it is a good item to have in your
equipment kit. By the way, my camera is a whole lot more "low-end" than
yours!
Looking forward to seeing the results!

When I got my new to me RV 6A the existing operating limitations were very
restrictive so I requested and got new operating limitations. I was given
a generous Phase One flying area and a 5 hour re-certification for a major
change. I was told that my complete panel change was minor but that
putting a constant speed prop would be major and major change require a new
XXXX form. Given the fly off period is only 5 hours and the area is
generous, I am going to treat my panel upgrade as a major change primarily
to prevent a no pay insurance situation.

| Subject: | Alodine Powder Supplier? |
--> RV-List message posted by: "RV Builder (Michael Sausen)" <rvbuilder@Sausen.net>
All,
I'm trying to find a distributor that will sell about a pound of
Alodine in it's powdered form. It goes by either Alodine 1200s or
Iridite 14-2. I don't see the point of paying the large amount of extra
dollars, not to mention hazmat handling charges, for water. Trying to
find a distributor is turning out to be much more difficult than I
expected. None seem to want to deal in small quantities and none of the
local paint supply houses carry it, or they have it in liquid and charge
more than AS and Wicks.
BTW, I'm in the DFW area.
Thanks,
Michael Sausen

I am sure it is probably nothing, but have any of you noticed a "whisker" effect
in the gold anodizing on the main spar to wing ribs rivets? I
noticed them when looking at a certain angle in the sunlight. I figured it was
probably just the anodizing being compressed and is not a big
deal. Am I correct?

Michael,
I also tried to find small quantities of powdered Alodine. The smallest I
could find was 10 pounds. I was going to buy that much and try to resell
small quantities myself but I found out that the powdered form is considered
an oxidizer from a hazmat perspective and the shipping charges are even
higher than the normal liquid form. I didn't want to deal with that so I
just went on with liquid. The powder makes a lot of sense since a pound of
powder make 16 gallons of Alodine.

No disrespect to the FAA inspector, but I would think more flight-testing would
be prudent. Logically and practically speaking more flight test is in order to
determine new: static RPM, takeoff distance, climb rates/speeds, top speed,
cruise speed/fuel burn, flight RPM, glide ratio and so on. Kind of important stuff
and should be done before taking passengers at least?
As far as major mod, it did not change the W&B but the prop is a structural component
and safety of flight item. Yes? You as the builder can put it back into
a Phase I, if you feel it is necessary for safety. On the other hand your local
G-man says not needed, than that is good enough as long as you (and insurance
if applicable) are OK with it.

Matt,
I have not gotten to that point yet, however, I made a BIG mental note about that
happening to many other builders and it is, as you expected, just in the anodizing
material...not to worry.

I should clarify this. The inspector recommended (and I agree) that a
test period is a good idea. My question is more about the FAA
requirements. Obviously there is often a wide chasm between what is
safe and prudent, and what is required.

They certainly are nice looking.
Not long ago, folks on the list were talking about oil cooler
failures because of the possible high pressure pulses peculiar to the Mazda
rotary oil system. Because of these failures, (and the lack of failures on
stock coolers,) I would be cautious about using something other than the
stock Mazda oil cooler.

Matt,
I too saw the same thing. I took a picture of it and showed it to Vans at
sun-n-fun last year. They said do not worry about it is star facture of the
anodizing coating and is not a problem.

I am sure it is probably nothing, but have any of you noticed a "whisker"
effect in the gold anodizing on the main spar to wing ribs rivets? I
noticed them when looking at a certain angle in the sunlight. I figured it
was probably just the anodizing being compressed and is not a big
deal. Am I correct?

I was thinking one of the small "security" cameras would be nice, see
the link at the end of the message. The ones I am thinking of are about
$100 for color. They are only 3" long and 3/4" in diameter. That is
small enough that you could mount it externally somewhere. Of course
you would then need some kind portable recorder with a little LCD screen
to monitor it with. As I understand it, the image quality is almost as
good, if not better than, a good camcorder. The downside is this camera
has a fixed lens with a 90 degree field of view, that's a pretty wide
angle lens. There is another small camera on that web site that has a a
zoom lens but it isn't weatherproof.

Hi Mike,
A total guess on my part; {[?-)
If you are talking about the turned up radius of something like 1/4' to 3/8"
that is formed into the aluminium opening at the prop root?, I suspect that
the strength issue you mention is the predominant reason.

I purchased one of these last week. They are the exact same model that
Van's includes in the FWF kits. Aero Classic oil coolers, part # 8000075.
He's been selling them for awhile, so he has a stock of them.

Michael,
Our local "industrial plastics" outet (a source for paint epoxy and
composite materials) sells the Alodine crytals in small amounts pacckaged in
little tins. A couple of ounces of the crystals mixed with water did the job
for my 6A project.
My cost some years ago was about $30.00 Canadian dollars. I'm fairly sure
the by the pound price would be better.

Matt,
I noticed that too when building my wing. That would be the anodize
coating, which is a glass hard aluminum oxide, fracturing. The best thing to
do is
to spray some primer at it and keep building. I have to wonder when the
corrosion will start, though. There will be a lot of us in the same boat.

Any photo experts out there? If I were to buy a bullet cam for quick and dirty
from the cockpit
video, what kind of lens would I want? I found a place that sells color bullet
cams that don't
have wide angle lenses but you have to specify wheter you want a 4, 6, or 8 mm
lens. I don't
really want wide angle because I don't like the distortion it causes. I want the
most nature
field of view I can get. Any suggestions?

I can tell you want I know. This is all based on 35mm cameras. I will
give a chart of lens size vs field of view (FOV) you can use to convert
to the video cameras. In photography a 50mm lens is considered
standard. Less than 50 is wide angle and more than 50 is telephoto. In
the wide angle region, you can go to about 35mm and not get very much
distortion. 28mm will start to show noticeable distortion and anything
wider has significant distortion around the edges. 105mm is the
preferred lens for portraits and is said to give the most natural
"perspective". I'm not sure exactly what that means but portraits do
look nicer when shot with a lens in that range. For comparison with
the video cameras look for the FOV of each lens, and compare to the
chart below.
20mm 94 degrees very wide, getting close to fisheye
28mm 74 degrees pretty wide
35mm 62 degrees Wide.
50mm 46 degrees standard
105mm 23 degrees slight telephoto.
If you do the math you will see a simple relationship. Double the lens
size and you cut the FOV in half. So a 50mm lens would have twice the
FOV as a 100 mm lens. The chart doesn't reflect that relationship
perfectly because all the numbers I have are rounded off. I believe an
8mm lens on a 1/3" CCD camera has a 40 degree FOV, a 6 mm should have a
FOV of 40 * 8/6, or 53 degrees. If the camera has a 1/4" CCD the FOV
would be less. That is the one I think I would go with. If the camera
you are looking at has interchangeable lenses you might want to buy a
few of them. Due to their small size, video camera lenses are a lot
cheaper than the same size lens for 35mm cameras. Most web sites
selling these cameras will give the FOV for each lens on a given
camera. Just remember if the same lens fits on a 1/4" and a 1/3" CCD
camera the FOV will be different on each camera.
