It works perfectly. Took it apart also to verify. FWIW, in my building experience, I deviated from the plans only a little once or twice. Such deviations required considerable time to implement. My friend with an RV6 has manual flaps. He just about takes over the cockpit when he needs to lower or raise the flaps. It requires strength and room. Could be something to consider if you are a small or older person without good arm and shoulder strength or a big person requiring lots of shoulder room.

I'm at work, and I think from memory the RV-6 panel blank is .065" but it may be .080" - wondering if there's enough stiffness in 3 smaller panels to make them a gauge or two thinner and save some weight. I'm planning a gradual conversion in several iterations to e3nd up with all glass diplays plus an IFR radio stack, but always looking to save a few ounces here and there when making changes.

Travel is limited to control the amount of pressure the part will experience at full deflection and when you are cruising along and a sudden wind change might cause you to take strong corrective action. Keep in mind, these planes are super sensitive and responsive within described limits. You want to yank on it the limit knowing you have it at 33 rather than 30 degrees??? You think maybe the DAR will not find this and therefore not issue your AWC? You think your insurance company will pay off if a crash occurs and was caused by the change? I hope I have given you a couple of good reasons to consider building the plane as the designer intended in this matter.

I'm aware that a servo arm needs a hole, although mine was drilled. I'm also aware that arms often need to be repositioned to fit the task. And the fact that reverse polarity to change motor direction is also common; though, as I remember, it can be done electronically with this unit.

Basically, you could be imputed income based on SIFL rates (Standard Industry Fare Levels) published by the IRS. I can give you the references for your accounting department, but it would be helpful if your company is a member of the NBAA (National Business Aircraft Association). If so, you can get a lot of free information on personal use of aircraft from them. Also, the IRS has just published a ruling on personal use that changes a few things. Bottom line: you will pay tax on about the equivalent of first-class airline fare between the city pairs for personal use.

I was born in Lock Haven - home of Piper Aircraft. Worked there while a college student, best job a young guy could have. Flew for next to nothing. Military dumped me out in SoCal after twenty years and I have to say that I like the WX or lack of wx here in the desert.

Back in the 70's when i was a computer equip fixer, thats what we did and the company new about it. Charlie heathco ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Johnson" Subject: RV-List: Tax question about personal use on company owned plane... (not processed: message from valid local sender) --> RV-List message posted by: "Matt Johnson" Hopefully some of you can give me insight on this issue. My company just bought an airplane as a benefit for me. I have to pay taxes for personal use time. My question is this. How do you determine the amount that an hour cost to determine how much I pay taxes on? If you base it on the total cost of ownership, then I can get really screwed and it is no benefit at all. If you base it on the cost of the plane flying for 1 hour, it seems fair. But my accountant seems to think it is on the TCO not the cost per hour to fly... If the plane cost $10,000 a year for all expenses, and it flys 1 hour, is it normal for the company to put a benefit of $10,000 on that employees paycheck as a benefit and have them pay $5,000 (or whatever your tax rate is) for the honor of that one hour of flight? - Matt ________________________________ Message 50 ____________________________________ Time: 08:38:59 PM PST US From: "charlie heathco" Subject: Re: RV-List: Engine Overhaul Question version=3.0.2 --> RV-List message posted by: "charlie heathco" Richard sounds like you are in deep S. I can tell you that the front seal was replaced with no lub on my cherokee by A&P . You seem to be in to deep, save your butt and get help. charlie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Bibb" Subject: RV-List: Engine Overhaul Question --> RV-List message posted by: "Richard Bibb" I have a few questions for the engine gurus out there. All pertain to a Lycoming O-320-E2D. 1) What sort of sealer and/or lubricant do you use with the crankshaft nose seal? The Overhaul Manual calls for Pliobond No.20 but I can't find the stuff. 2) I got new bearings but am confused by the location of the holes for the locator dowells in the Crankcase halfs. The dowels in the case halfs are centered in the bottom of the journals but the holes in the bearing halves are offset from the center. This doesn't look right yet the part numbers are the correct part numbers. What am I missing here? 3) How does one reassemble one of these without the "Clylinder Hold Down Any help and advice on putting the engine back together is appreciated. ________________________________ Message 51 ____________________________________ Time: 08:58:23 PM PST US From: "Phil Sisson, Litchfield Aerobatic Club" so=2005-07-14 09:05:58@roxy.matronics.com, dmn=2005-05-20 17:56:59@roxy.matronics.com Subject: Re: RV-List: Painting Class refid=0001.0A090202.4300CD4D.0074-A-, ip=209.107.238.85, so=2005-07-14 09:05:58, dmn=2005-05-20 17:56:59 refid=0001.0A090204.4302B32B.0008-A-, ip=209.107.238.85, so=2005-07-14 09:05:58, dmn=2005-05-20 17:56:59 --> RV-List message posted by: "Phil Sisson, Litchfield Aerobatic Club" Mark/Micki Phillips wrote: >--> RV-List message posted by: "Mark/Micki Phillips" > >Hey Phil, Youre welcome to use my Accuspray Issac HVLP or my Binks BBR high >pressure.

It had 120 since major overhaul...... I would have loved to used those guns. I pissed away $400 on a GFG 670 devilbiss yesterday, along with some other accesories........ I am going to hang up my old conventional spray guns. The 670 is half HVLP and half old conventional gun. Well it is supposed to spray a lot like an HVLP with the feel of the older guns, Guess I will see. If it don't work out, Iwill put it on EBAY and get out the old guns. They paint perfect, just too much over sparay for this day and age....... Take small cuts so you dont go too far at one time... Oshkosh...... I had a good time there. I went to Fond Du Lac every night to sing. I found a great place with good sound. Singing starts at 6 pm and goes until closing time. seven nights a week........ I was there every night I was there....... I cant wait until next year. I am taking Marilyn up in a month or so for a long week end... Will stay in a Hotel two blocks away and bum around down town F' D' L' in the day time, lots of small down town stores like there used to be, and sing at night.. I just about have her ready to do a duet with me........ Once she sings in front of a crowd, she will be hooked. It's like a shot of heroin in the jugular vein....... You just can't get enough of it....... Do you need help? say so.........
