I purchased a very neat little plunger device to holds the canopy have way open
when flying solo. A fellow RV8 driver asked me where I got it so he could buy
one and I can't locate any info in all my junk. Does anyone have a source?
It's the spring loaded plunger that bolts to the canopy rail.

Hi Richard,
I used to use the plunger, but I just upgraded to a
different system, which I feel is much better.
Here is a link to some photos. You should probably
buy one of these, and give the plunger to your
friend. If for some reason he *really* wants the
plunger, and you also keep yours, I'll be happy to
send mine to him. Just send me an address.

Here's what I got back from the local audiologist. There appears to be potential
cause for concern. Makes you wonder how many kids, whose mamas went to Led
Zeppelin concerts while pregnant, were born brain damaged as a result. I guess
it goes to show you: noise, like water and air, is bad for you and causes cancer
in California. Nothing in life is safe, which is why we need big.gov to
protect us from everything.

Effects of intense noise exposure on fetal sheep auditory brain stem response and
inner ear histology.
Gerhardt KJ, Pierson LL, Huang X, Abrams RM, Rarey KE.
Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders and the Institute for the Advanced
Study of Communication Processes, University of Florida, Gainesville 32611,
USA.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate, in two separate experiments, the effects of intense noise
exposures delivered to fetal sheep in utero during a time of rapid auditory
development. DESIGN: In the first experiment, auditory brain stem response (ABR)
thresholds to clicks and tone bursts were recorded from chronically instrumented
fetal sheep in utero before and after exposure of pregnant ewes to intense
broadband noise. A single 16 hr exposure was delivered at 113 days gestational
age, a time when the ABR is just emerging. Thresholds were compared with
an age-matched, nonexposed control group. In the second experiment, fetal sheep
at the same gestational age were exposed four times to broadband noise and their
cochleae were harvested 20 days later for histological analysis by the use
of scanning electron microscopy. Comparisons were made with an age-matched,
nonexposed control group. RESULTS: Experiment One: ABR thresholds recorded between
10 to 20 days after the exposure were not as sen
sitive as thresholds obtained from control fetuses. There was a tendency for thresholds
to 0.5 kHz tone bursts to be more affected than thresholds to clicks.
Experiment Two: Scanning electron microscopy of the organ of Corti from fetuses
exposed to noise from 111 to 114 days gestational age revealed significant
damage to inner and outer hair cells in the middle and apical turns of cochleae.
Similar hair cell damage was not present in control fetuses. CONCLUSIONS:
Intense exogenous noise penetrated the uterus of pregnant sheep and resulted in
elevations in ABR thresholds 2 to 3 wk after exposure. In fetuses repeatedly
exposed to noise, the middle and apical turns of the cochlea showed greater hair
cell damage than found at the same locations in control cochlea. The basal
turn of the cochlea was not damaged

I'm not sure where he is. We were talking about this at Airventure this
year. He kind of disappeared off the radar screen. I know a couple of
people who talk to him, and they haven't heard from him. He is by no means
someone who would take someone's money. He must be on a sabbatical in the
woods or something. He loves to take his ultralight out in the middle of
nowhere for a long time.

How long does he typically go out in the middle of nowhere? Over a year?
I've seen several posts from people who have paid for Ti-Downs and
hadn't received them after many months. If he has people's money,
and hasn't delivered the goods, it doesn't much matter whether he is
dishonest, or disorganized - the effect is the same.
I've got a set of his Ti-Downs - they are wonderful. But I wouldn't
order another set unless there was a way to delay paying until he had
delivered the goods.

| Subject: | oil breather ideas |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Aircraft Technical Book Company" <winterland@rkymtnhi.com>
When I built my 6A , an experienced A&P suggested that I weld a stainless
pipe into the exhaust pipe, and then run the oil breather tube into the
pipe. The idea was that oil from the breather port drain into the exhaust
pipe and burn up with the hot exhaust gasses in the pipe thus keeping the
belly nice and clean.
After a couple hundred hours, I don't think it works very well. Add to
that another person who today suggested that the inlet to the exhaust is
welded too far from the tip of the pipe (about 15"). He said that far
upstream, high pressures inside the pipe are creating backpressures into the
breather tube, pressurizing the engine and causing oil seepage from all
around the engine. (another annoying problem from the beginning). He said
to be effective the drain pipe must insert into the exhaust pipe no more
than 2-3" from the tip. (by which point the exhaust gasses are cooler still
and even less likely to burn up and oil fumes, negating further the benefit
of a nice clean belly.
So, unless someone here can enlighten me with some forgotten pearl of
wisdom, I'm going to cut off the drain pipe, weld up the hole in the tail
pipe, and put in some more conventional breather system.
To that end, looking through the Aircraft Spruce catalog, I see 8 different
air-oil separators from $40 to $400. Can anybody recommend or speak about
any of them. One called a Slime Fighter is claimed to be popular on RVs,
but from the picture of it, I don't see how it works or where it deposits
the oil. Others talk about a catch can that fills with oil and needs to be
drained periodically. How periodically?

I ordered 3 sets from Randy in the Spring of 2004. I needed one set right away
for a birthday present. He sent me the first one immediately (within two days).
He did not even have my check in his possession to pay for everything. (That
was GREAT of him)
However, due to a backlog that he told me about up front, the other two sets took
him an additional 9 weeks (shipped the first set on 03/18/04, ...the second/third
on 05/25/04)? I also took me a couple of reminder phone calls to get #
2 & 3. (Not so Great, but was acceptable to me at the time as he told me about
the backlog he had)
His TI-downs are a piece of art and I am very glad I have mine. If I would have
the need to buy some more, I guess I would ask for him to ship "Cash on Delivery"
based on the recent complaints here?

Ok, I know this has been covered several times so I don't want to beat a
dead horse but I can't find anything in the archives. Finished my
rudder trailing edge today. It came out pretty straight thanks to my
copilot of 32 years but I let the gun get off center a couple of times
and I have a couple of smiley faces. Is there a best way to fix this?
Do they pose a problem other than cosmetic?
Thanks

Not sure. I was at Oshkosh with him a couple of years ago and we sold his
tie downs in our booth. He has to hand make them all, and it takes a few
hours for each set. They are excellent pieces of work, but he'll lose his
business pretty quick if he doesn't come around. I'll see if I can locate
him. I'd like to see more of his tie downs out there, because they are
fantastic.

How long does he typically go out in the middle of nowhere? Over a year?
I've seen several posts from people who have paid for Ti-Downs and
hadn't received them after many months. If he has people's money,
and hasn't delivered the goods, it doesn't much matter whether he is
dishonest, or disorganized - the effect is the same.
I've got a set of his Ti-Downs - they are wonderful. But I wouldn't
order another set unless there was a way to delay paying until he had
delivered the goods.

I purchased a very neat little plunger device to holds the canopy have way open
when flying solo. A fellow RV8 driver asked me where I got it so he could buy
one and I can't locate any info in all my junk. Does anyone have a source? It's
the spring loaded plunger that bolts to the canopy rail.

Hey everyone,
Randy sent me an e-mail last Friday evening minutes after I sent out the
final question about where he could be. He said that for some reason he had
forgot my order and that he would send it on Monday. He also said that he
is retiring in fourteen days. I sent him an E-mail back asking if he was
going to be able to continue making tie downs. I have not had a reply. BTW
he also apologized for forgetting my order. Don

Not sure. I was at Oshkosh with him a couple of years ago and we sold his
tie downs in our booth. He has to hand make them all, and it takes a few
hours for each set. They are excellent pieces of work, but he'll lose his
business pretty quick if he doesn't come around. I'll see if I can locate
him. I'd like to see more of his tie downs out there, because they are
fantastic.

I ran the breather tube down to the exhaust pipe and aimed the end of it at
the pipe to within about 1/4". This was near the end of the pipe at the
firewall.
This has worked well for both of our RV-4's.
The oil drips onto the outside of the pipe and burns away into the
slipstream.

Andy, instead of just welding the pipe to the exhaust, try inserting a
small bent pipe into the exhaust to point toward the exit. This should
create suction using the venturi effect. To be safe I'd hook up a vacuum
gauge to make sure the effect is only slight. If it turns out to work
better than expected perhaps installing a small collector with a vent in
it, to prevent drawing a vacuum on the crankcase. I'm not sure how the
Lycoming would react with negative pressure in the crankcase.

Subject: RV-List: oil breather ideas
--> RV-List message posted by: "Aircraft Technical Book Company"
<winterland@rkymtnhi.com>
When I built my 6A , an experienced A&P suggested that I weld a
stainless
pipe into the exhaust pipe, and then run the oil breather tube into the
pipe. The idea was that oil from the breather port drain into the
exhaust
pipe and burn up with the hot exhaust gasses in the pipe thus keeping
the
belly nice and clean.
After a couple hundred hours, I don't think it works very well. Add to
that another person who today suggested that the inlet to the exhaust is
welded too far from the tip of the pipe (about 15"). He said that far
upstream, high pressures inside the pipe are creating backpressures into
the
breather tube, pressurizing the engine and causing oil seepage from all
around the engine. (another annoying problem from the beginning). He
said
to be effective the drain pipe must insert into the exhaust pipe no more
than 2-3" from the tip. (by which point the exhaust gasses are cooler
still
and even less likely to burn up and oil fumes, negating further the
benefit
of a nice clean belly.
So, unless someone here can enlighten me with some forgotten pearl of
wisdom, I'm going to cut off the drain pipe, weld up the hole in the
tail
pipe, and put in some more conventional breather system.
To that end, looking through the Aircraft Spruce catalog, I see 8
different
air-oil separators from $40 to $400. Can anybody recommend or speak
about
any of them. One called a Slime Fighter is claimed to be popular on
RVs,
but from the picture of it, I don't see how it works or where it
deposits
the oil. Others talk about a catch can that fills with oil and needs to
be
drained periodically. How periodically?
Andy

Ditto on both my planes and seen on countless others. I don't know if I'd
be too excited about actually porting it into the exhaust, who knows - you
could go from a decent vaccum to actual pressure....neither of which are
good on that side of the engine.
Typical old school way of doing this (trick I stole from the ole' experts
that know way more than me) was to just point the breather tip (using a
short piece of aluminum or other metal tube) very close to the actual
exhaust pipe (amaing rearwards of course). Any "spillage" or seepage of oil
then just burns off. I have one Lyc with an inverted system on it and one
without, both have the breathers plumbed this way, and both have clean
bellies (except when I pump too much smoke oil through it:)
Also, don't forget to drill a weep hole somewhere in your breather system in
case of blockage.
Cheers,
Stein
