DUATS comes with flight planning software, including a function that fills
out and submits a flight plan to the feds. It of course also has printable
wx data in text and graphic format. It will also store performance data on
multiple airframes / N numbers for you. I'm not flying my creation yet so
I can't comment on real world utility, but it sure looks promising. Best
of all. this is all free.

Same here- both my 760 comm and T-2000 xpndr had to go back down under for
repair. They were both back in about 2 weeks and have worked perfectly (and
quite impressively!) ever since (174 hrs) The problems were both discovered soon
after intitial power-up and I had them back in the plane and ready to fly
before the plane was. Just follow the procedure on their website- pretty
painless and only cost me the shipping to Australia (maybe $12 each, IIRC)

I have been flying with AWM and an "older" iPaq for several years. I really

be rough to tap the screen in rough air but I have not found it to be a big
issue.
Having said that, the other alternative is a bigger screen. The good folks

Today's crayon-level question:
I'm installing the drive gear on a Slick 4371 impulse coupled magneto. When
trying to tighten the nut, the shaft and the inards of the coupling spin.
Despite holding the gear still, everything else is rotating, making it
impossible to get the required torque on the nut. What's the trick?
Thanks,

The recommendation to mount the flow transducer after the engine driven fuel
pump is a CYA type instruction. Flow is flow and the instrument will read
the same anywhere between the fuel tank and the flow divider. It however is
always better to mount any resistance (filter, gascolator,transducers) after
the pump as they drop the pressure and could help to cause cavitation.
I however only have the airflow performance fuel filter in line without a
gascolator so I went ahead and mounted it in the long strait run along the
floor between the boost pump and firewall. This kept the sensor out of harms
way and reduced the number of hoses needed fwf. Works great. The totalizer
is always right on at fillup.

I use a Palm Zire 71 with Flybynav to figure distance and the AOPA directory
for airport info and it works great. I use a Fujitsu ltp-600 for WXworx
weather and it works good as well. I have tried the AWM with the weather
function and it seem to overload the processor, plus most of the really cool
features of XM were not available. Of all the in-cockpit weather solutions
I have seen WXworx on wings is by far the best!

More on the EAA Airventure Cup Race...
First... in answer to Tracy Crook's questions about insurance -my experience has
been the same as John Huft and Alan Kritzman -who commented already. Last year
Avemco took three tries to get it right (they kept trying to change EAA's required
wording just 'slightly' -in their favor and EAA wouldn't buy it) -but
they finally got it done -and there was no extra charge as I recall. I only kept
the 'race' coverage in effect 'till I got back from OSH -then I called and
had them change it back to 'normal'. This year I'm with AIG -and I specifically
asked about the race requirements when I went with them -they said 'no problem'
-so we'll see...
It would be so cool to have you show up for the race, Tracy -I'm not sure which
class you be grouped into -but it would be so neat to have your blazingly fast
Mazda RV-4 in the race with us (even if you did kick my butt and deny me a trophy...)
More correspondance from race director Eric White follows...
Best Regards, and come race with us!

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the help. Hopefully we will get a few more entries.
Although, to qualify for the Formula RV class, you need to have a "stock" RV,
although sort of hard to define stock in a homebuilt airplane. Engines
are limited to 360 cubic inches, so anyone running the new IO-390 will
have to run in the Sport Class for this year. (We might modify the rules
in the future) I am planning to split the RV class into the Red and
Blue divisions this year. Last year it got left out. Red for the O-320
powered RVs and the Blue for the 360 powered airplanes. If anyone has an
RV-9/9A with the O-235 in it, (Like Van's Prototype they can run in the
Sprint class).
One new addition this year, the race has been asked to hold
"mini-forums" at the race tent to describe the mods, or overall race experience.
I
have heard from several of the RV drivers and they have indicated that
they would like to do a group discussion "Cross Country Racing in your
RV" If you would like to take part we need a RV-4 pilot. I would like
to recruit Bobbie as well.
I will keep you posted on changes as they happen.
Eric

Jim,
I have some TurboCAD instrument templates, mostly for 2 1/2 and 3/1/4
gages (at least the ones in my panel). Also have a few rectangular
things (hobbs, CO monitor, etc.), and switches. They are a combination
of drawings from other builder's web sites, and ones I have created from
manufacturers drawings. Contact me off the list and let me know what
you are looking for. I can extract them from my panel print and send
them directly to you.

Just a review on the relatively new xm2go, the portable xm receiver. I flew down
to snf from Chicago with the antenna sticking to my rollover bar and the rcvr
between the seats. It worked GREAT!! I plugged it directly into my stereo
via a front panel mini plug. I talked to the xm guys and they told me the music
is included if you purchase their weather package.
That leads me to a question. Is anyone using xm weather by itself with a pda?
The price of anywhere map is too high.

I thought they all had a keyway in the shaft and gear; when you capture the gear,
you've got the shaft stationary, too. Maybe there's a locking slot in the
housing that you place a pin into and torque against that? Call to Bob Barrows
coming on... 540-473-3661

I have used both PDA and dedicated GPS units like the Garmin 195. I like a dedicated
buttons on the Garmin GPS. The touch screen is a little bit of a hassle
especially if you have to use a stylus.
TOUCH SCREEN: In turbulence, ease of screen touch depends on how you mount you
PDA GPS. Mount it close and place it so you can rest your hand or arm. If you
have it bolted to the inst panel at arms length, yes, it can be hard to select
functions in the bumps. Most PDA GPS software have a rough air mode the expands
the menu keys, to make it easier to see and pick. Also you can use some of
the buttons on the PDA to select functions. If the PDA is mounted on the side,
off the panel, you can rest your arm or hand on the arm rest or side longeron,
it is not a big issue.
I would say the discreet buttons on the stand alone GPS units are easier to operate
than the touch screen of a PDA IMHO, especially when you know the tricks
of the buttons. My old Garmin 195 has a 4 position rocker that makes moving the
screen cursor easy.
Cheers George

I doubt if it is vibration, probably engine movements. Round up all the
edges, including where it fastens to its mounting plate or bracket.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Mike Holland" <hollandm@pacbell.net>
Adding fuel gages this weekend before installing the wings on my 9A quickbuild
I found that the fuel pickup tubes, as they came from the factory, were bent
incorrectly and were about 3" above where called for in the plans if all the fuel
in the tanks were to be available. Since this could be a safety of flight
issue I thought I'd better mention it.
No doubt if you are diligent in checking everything versus the plans this would
be caught, but it isn't inconceivable that one could assume the parts were completed
accurately and remain unaware of the situation until running out of gas
thinking they still had fuel remaining.
Also, what do people think about a slotted tube vs. a screen on the fuel pickup?
Is one better than the other in the event of particulate matter somehow getting
into the tanks?

Scott,
My radio just stopped working completely. No display, no static, no transmit/receive
light. The back-light does still work.
I just got off the phone with Microair and their tech rep, Ian, feels it is probably
a fuse. He is sending me a service bulletin that will show me how to replace
it. I will try that and let the list know if it worked.
By the way, I have an avionics master switch and am pretty religious about turning
it off during engine start and shut down.
