On Sunday April 3rd. 2005, at 9:15 AM. RV6A N-342BM took to the air, from Orlando/Sanford Airport, Runway 27R. Clear with some wind 7 -10 Kts. I took transition training with Jan Bussell CFII, at Ockeechobee, very good instructor. I have Aero Sport Lyc.150 h.p. with basic VFR, Nav aid, and E.I.S Engine monitor Unit. Flight was about 30 minutes long, then I got ready for the landing, reduce power, keep reducing power, waiting to see the 100 mark, for flaps...then I relized, the plane did not feel right...was too low.. and too slow? Well I finally got it, the ASI was stuck at 120 mph...mark...I was almost fixed completely on the darn gauge.....The AIS was the one from Van's..Falcon.. This was not what I had expected, on a first flight.. for me was a little disconcerting.. Well, afterI composed myself, did a new approach and landed with no problem. The static system, pitot were checked. Instrument failure. Good flight, good experience... Now to buy a new AIS, different mfg.

I carry a cig. lighter plug, in my canopy cover bag, so I can hook a charger to it. I cut the negative wire off the charging plug and hook the charger to the airframe and the red to the wire on the plug to prevent getting a polarity reversal. The only problem is, I have to remember to unplug my XM WX Receiver/Computer power supply when I shutdown, or I have to use the cig lighter plug for charging. Works great.

After only 80 hours of time on my new prop, it looks like somebody sandblasted the leading edge. Aircraft Spruce has a tape called "Prop Guard" for around 50 bucks. I was thinking about dressing my prop and putting some of this stuff on, but though I would ask your collective opinions on this stuff. After making some inquires, I have discovered it is useless to ask the city to sweep the city owned airport with the city owned street sweeper.....that would cost too many city owned dollars. Any other suggestions appreciated. (my prop is fixed pitch aluminum) Thanks....

It went on easily and appeared that it would stay. No problems that way. BUT, the Warnke prop didn't "like" the tape...performace went out the window...I have been told that the Warnke prop operates close to stall and the tape put it over the edge...rpms went way, way, up and airspeed way, way, down. Same thing happened when I tried the perforated tape idea that was talked about a few years ago. If your prop isn't so critical the Prop Guard seems to be a reasonable thing to try.

I have used 2000 grit wet or dry to remove scratches on the affected airframe areas then applied Nuvite in one section and Mothers aluminum polish in another. I then buff out using a dedicated wool bonnet attached to my DeWalt electric buffer. I really can't say which product produces the highest luster. Both seem the same to me. In any event, I am still not happy with the depth of luster when compared to a pristine and polished alclad surface right next to it. What techniques should I be using to make the aluminum shine as bright as it possibly can?

Rick, I came across this link while researching polishing methods for my StalkerV6 kit car: http://www.irinfo.com/polish/html/polish.html The Swift owners have polishing down to a fine art. There is also a lot of info in the Airstream travel trailer community. Some Googling in that area will give you a lot of info. Bottom line, a mirror finish is a LOT of work! :-) Sam Buchanan ________________________________ Message 13 ____________________________________ Time: 03:27:28 PM PST US From: Richard Dudley Subject: Re: RV-List: First Flight of N342BM --> RV-List message posted by: Richard Dudley Congratulations, Bert!!!!!!

I followed Bob Nuckells article that he published on the Aeroelectric web site. It uses either a Piper or Cessna version of connectors. I mounted the receptacle on the right side near the firewall. I'll send you a photo, if you are interested. It has its own circuitry with a contactor, a breaker switch and an overvoltage protection for both overvoltage and reversed polarity. The circuitry is connected to the battery contactor with leads capable of starting currents. I use it whenever I want to run the electrical system for an extenced time in the hanger. It is ready if I should want to charge the battery and could be used to jump start away from home since the connector is relatively common.

It hardens the surface like shot peening. You will be filing away good prop material and shortening the life of your prop. I'm not talking about not filing deep chips and nicks, rather the fine sandblasted surface. But by all means do what you want. I'm no expert, this is second hand. The guy at the prop shop says he just loves it when poeple go crazy with files. He also likes it when poeple leave thier tow bars attached to the front wheel. You nose wheelers you. There was one more thing that kept him in business but can't remember right now what it was?

The Prop looks new - we also have the same problem except the State will not sweep the taxi or runways. I'd recommend it. In addition it is easy to install, with fine guide lines marked on the tape.

Piper style, under the belly just aft of the step. Out of sight and arranged so the door opens down and forward (that way the wind will aid the spring should it ever weaken). Fabricated a doubler from .063 aluminum to strengthen the belly skin. With the battery located in the rear this works well.
