I have a pair of tin snips that look like giant scissors and have no
serrated edge.
They were used for all .025 cuts and the occasional .032 material.
Very fast and simple. Measurement is by eyeball for stiffeners.

There have not been much updates to the units in quite a while Charlie.
I think the perfect solution is a Trio and an Altrak for price and
performance. My comments are archived so I wont rehash the features and
performance here.
If you can hold off a bit on the Altitude hold piece, Trio is coming out
soon with a really nice Altitude unit that will have some neat gee whiz
features in it.
Best,
Mike

| Subject: | Countersinking Longerons, Stiffeners |
--> RV-List message posted by: Jamie Painter <jamie@jpainter.org>
Fellow Slow-Builders:
I'm getting ready to rivet my foward side skins and of course all the
associated internal components. I started out by countersinking the
stiffeners/longerons/aux longerons/lower longerons, etc. Then I went on
to dimpling the skins. The side skins are .032 and the forward bottom
skin is .040.
My question: When I countersunk everything, I used a AN426AD3 rivet to
gauge the appropriate depth of the countersink. The dimples don't
really sit in there very well. Did others find it necessary to
countersink all the holes deeper? I know that this is done in other
parts of the project, but basically I would like confirmation that
cutting the countersinks a little deeper is what should be done here.

Jaime,
You need to countersink deeper for dimples than you do for rivets. The best
thing to do is get a scrap of the same thickness material and dimple it.
Use that as a gage to set your countersink cage.
Good luck

Are you priming after you countersink? Primer adds enough thickness that it
can change a "perfect" countersink into one where the rivet sits slightly
proud. Something to consider.
Otherwise, and in addition, practice makes perfect.

Can someone recommend an honest and capable carburetor shop to service an
MSA 4-5?
I've got a series of problems in the idle to midrange circuit that are
getting too pronounced to continue to fly as it is.
Their is a pronounced and worsening hesitation when throttling up through
about 1500 rpm
There is beginning to be a rpm fluctuation of about 100-200 rpm around the
1300-1700 range
And there seems to be a growing stiff spot in the throttle itself
I've also noticed that there is no rpm rise during shut down and adjusting
the idle screw doesn't make any difference.

Larry, I believe it is per device. My son pays for his, his brother's and
mine. They are all on one account and he gets a discount for the last two,
but each unit is billed. I have a Roady II and use in my truck and home.
This also allows you to listen online by code from your unit, as I am doing

For anyone wanting to try the paper cutter route, I believe you need to have
a pretty heavy one with a wood base. I tried using a cheap $20 plastic
model and the whole thing just twisted itself up when I tried to cut a
stiffener.

Hi Charlie
Never even thought about a paper cutter. That would probably be easier,
less
dangerous (moving sawblade) and get a better cut. I'll try that if I get
yet
another opportunity to do elevator stiffeners.

I have a Odyssey PC 625 battery in my RV6A. My airplane isn't finished yet,
it is still in my basement. I have been adjusting on my flaps, and left the
master switch on for about 2 weeks. My battery is dead now. I can't seem to get
it back up to full charge.
The manual says to charge it at 10 amps for no more then 3 hours. I can't
get it to take charge. It is showing about 5 volts.
Does anybody know how to get this battery back to full charge?
Thanks
Jerry Davis Glen Carbon ,ILL

I have found that if you discharge an oddesy battery
that deep is is toast. Haven't been able to save it in that
case.

Hi Charlie,
Since I sell the Trutrak units, I'll begin my e-mail by telling you that the
response below is nothing more that my personal opinion from having owned
both a Trio and a Trutrak unit. Both units had their strenghts and
weaknesses, and here are just a few of them:
Trio
1. I really liked a lot of the features the Trio head included, particularly
the "course reversal" and "course intercept" feature. However, I have to
admit that much of the information displayed in the controller was available
in my GPS unit. Nevertheless, the display was good, but a bit hard to read
in direct sunlight. (I had the fluorescent display)
2. Trio's altitude hold was not available when I purchased my unit.
3. My unit used the Navaid servo. I didn't care much for it, but the Navaid
servo has worked very well for a lot of people.
4. I really liked the built-in Turn Coordinator and coordinating ball.
5. The Trio displayed my name on intial startup. Didn't make flying better,
but it was so cool to see my name and tail number on the screen everytime I
threw the switch.
Trutrak
1. Trutrak servos are high quality, heavy duty, stepper motors. Heavier
than the Navaid servo if you are concerned with every ounce going in the
airplane.
2. Altitude Hold (Pitch Control) available via an Altrak system. Push the
button and go.
3. The Digitrak (Roll Control) GPS/NAV mode is not as accurate as the GPS
Steering available with the Trutrak's higher priced models, but it does a
good job.
4. All Trutrak autopilots can be upgraded to a higher priced model, if you
want to, for the difference in cost between the units.
Based on cost alone, I think the scales tip in the direction of Trutrak.
Trutrak just lowered the price of the units to $1,495 for the Digitrak, and
$1,495 for the Altrak, which is almost a $300 savings from price of three
months ago. See this link:
http://www.affordablepanels.com/trutrak_autopilots.htm
I have a Digiflight-II unit for my new RV-9A, but I think if I was deciding
today, I would choose the Digitrak/Altrak combo. More bang for my buck.
Regards,
Fabian Lefler

I ran my Odyssey down when I left the master on. I had to go to 50 amps for
a bit on charge to get it to come back. It has done fine since & that was a
couple of years ago.
Good luck.

Thanks for all the replies on NYC aviation (& other) activities. The

to convince 3 other people that it's worth a pair of 2 hour train rides
to see actual flying WWI flying a/c, we will head up to Old Rhinebeck on

It is dead. Replace it when you get ready to fly.
Yes, it is possible you might be able to bring it back, but it isn't
advisable. You would be much smarter to replace it.
If you want it use the old battery for testing, but not flying,
here is how to "fix" it:
Put it on a 15 volt power supply limited at 2 amps. Leave it on
for about 10 hrs, maybe a little more. Run it down to 11 volts with a
landing light. Charge it back up with the 15 volt supply. Do this three or
four times. It will either kill it or cure it.
An inexpensive 15 volt, 2 amp power supply is a Toshiba laptop AC
adapter. Get it on Ebay for about $10. Nice for "equalize" charging your
replacement battery too. Don't leave it on the battery for more than 10
hours or so.

Just got my Garmin 296 that I purchased thru Ebay. It came with the
serial cable for trasfering information from my PC. I see that there is
a USB cable available. Is the transfer time alot better with the USB cable?
Is that just a regular USB cable, that I can pick up at Walmart?
Got my Air Gizmo mount on the way

Hi Bobby,
It is a regular usb cable, but the kind with the small connector on one
end instead of the square one. USB is much faster than serial,
especially if you have usb 2.0
Serial = 115,000 bits per second
USB = 12Mbits / second (~12,000,000 bits per second)
USB 2.0 = 480Mbits / second
Here's a link to a page with pictures of the connectors... look about
1/2 way down the page for "mini usb 2.0 connector"
http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/connecters.html
You should be able to find these pretty easily at compusa / bestbuy /
frys / radio shack etc...
I love my 296... I use it everywhere I go... flying, driving, sailing...
i had no idea how much use I would get out of that thing before I bought it!
