--> RV-List message posted by: linn walters <lwalters2@cfl.rr.com>
Just a comment from an 'outsider'. I don't have an RV yet. I have a
Pitts and a Traumahawk that I routinely fly form with other aircraft in
my group (I'm always "2"). But I attended the fromation clinic that was
given at Lakeland a few years back. From the git-go, this was a really
well run, professional clinic. The first thing Mike Stewart said was
"Formation flying should never be done in dissimilar aircraft". Well
there just ain't anyway I'm going to buy another airplane or get my
buddies to just so we can have 'like aircraft'. But I digress ...... If
you have an interest in form flying, then go to the clinic. The ground
shcool part is incredibly intense on it's own and covers everything from
soup to nuts. Even if you have a vernier throttle .... go anyway. You
can ride with other pilots in the flying part, and all you don't get is
the handling of the stick. I understand where the rules come from .....
these folks are real heavy on the safety part. This is really, really
good. They also paired aircraft by performance too, so your 'small'
engine should be OK. But get that from the horses mouth. My comment is
to go. You'll learn far more and be a more capable form pilot ..... no
matter who or what you fly with after the clinic.
Linn ..... can't wait to get some -10's together!!!

Screws and nutplates. I remember X-ing those holes with red marker so I
wouldn't dimple them, so I guess it's specified in the plans somewhere. If
needed, existing rivets can be drilled out for nutplates later, so I didn't
think it's a critical decision at this point.

I use a Bob Archer wing tip antenna. Granted it is on a KX155, but I
think it would also work fine on a SL30 as that is what I plan on using
in my -10. The nice thing is it is totally hidden within your wing tip,
so it won't poke anyone in the eye like if you put a whisker antenna on

| Subject: | Van's 60 Amp Alternator Failure - Beck Arnley Replacement Part |
Number 186-0373
--> RV-List message posted by: "John Wiegenstein" <johnw@hellerwiegenstein.com>
For all you folks running the Van's 60 amp alternator, if you need a
replacement unit it is a Lester #14684, which cross references to
several different manufacturer numbers. At your local NAPA store you
should be able to find it as a remanufactured unit from Beck Arnley, p/n
186-0373. Cost is about $129 plus core.
I had occasion to learn this after the Van's alternator in N727JW (came
with FWF kit in 2003, had 70 hrs on it) rolled over and died while I was
visiting Seaside, OR last week. A quick check of the symptoms and
system components convinced me that the problem was with the alternator
itself. Fortunately, a local helicopter tour pilot happened to come by
the airport as I was troubleshooting things, and he helped with some
tools and a ride to the rental car office in Astoria. After runnning
back home to Hansville for the night, grabbing tools, finding the
replacement alternator, etc. I drove back yesterday to Seaside and
swapped the new unit in in 30 minutes. It was a perfect drop in
replacement. The old unit had a broken rear bracket (the pressed steel
one that comes with the alternator), and the machine screws holding the
bracket to the alternator body had loosened significantly. The
original installation had lined up well and seemed to be a good setup.
My suspicion is that these screws loosened up first, allowing the
alternator body to move around somewhat, and that this flexing and
uneven loads eventually caused an internal failure of some kind. The
famed Lycosaur shakes presumably hastened the early demise.
The new unit worked fine and a 35 minute flight had me back at Tacoma
Narrows - much better that 3.5 hours in a thoroughly unimpressive Chevy
Impala rental (and GM wonders why they're losing market share . . .).
Annual inspection is due next month and I may R&R those bracket mounting
machine screws and use some Loctite on them just to play it safe. The
original Van's unit had always produced plenty of amps and a solid,
steady 14.4 volts bus voltage at cruise, and the new one seems to be the
same in that regard - it came with a test data sheet showing 52 amps max
output, which is more than enough for my aircraft.
Anyway, thanks to Gary Turel of Seaside Helicopters for lending a
helping hand at a time of need (there ain't much at the Seaside Airport,
56S - just some tie downs and a honeybucket), and perhaps this info on
the replacement Beck Arnley part will help someone else out. Will be
interesting to see how long the replacement unit lasts.
Naturally, I had just been commenting a few days before to my wife about
how trouble-free and reliable the RV has been so far . . . :-)

There is no reason I can think of to not put a cat whisker nav antenna under
the tail on an RV taildragger. Jeff Ludwig's wonderful (and Air Venture cup
winning) RV-8 had (sold it) this setup and it flew hard IFR for years
without any problems at all. Anyone who puts this kind of antenna on the
top of a taildragger RV vertical stab should be flogged for presenting a
clear and present safety danger to anyone on the ground. For a nosedragger
RV, it's OK, but taildragger, no way. I'd be looking for a hacksaw if I see
one. The vision you save may be your own.
My opinion only. But, show me where I'm wrong. There are no compromises
when it comes to safety.
Oh, the Archer antennas are terrific. I'm using them on my -10 when the
time comes.

Hiya Mathew, I had gotten it my mind that the seminar was going to be in
tulsa since that was the place mentioned in your post. I didnt even notice
the little box on the reg form until just a while ago when looking it over
to see which airport, I even thought that Lees summit airport must be in the
tulsa area, untill I put it in my gps and it shot a line to leesumit Mo. I
had planned on combining trip to NW arkproperty, but LS MO is too long a
trip, nearly 800 air miles. Out of the question if had to end up driving due
to weather. I see its a no refund deal, but since its over a month away hope
you can make an exeption in this case? Charlie heathco

| Subject: | Infinity Trim Relay Deck |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Lui Esc" <f1rocketbuilder@hotmail.com>
I was wondering if anyone has used the Infinity Relay Deck for the elevator
and aileron trim?
Infinity Aeropsace Trim Relay Deck, see at
http://www.infinityaerospace.com/Relay_Deck_Wiring_Schematic.jpg
1. Have you had the need for Trim Speed control using this Relay Deck?
2. Did you figure out a way to wire a speed control module with this Relay
Deck?
Thank you,
Luis

--> RV-List message posted by: sarg314 <sarg314@comcast.net>
I just balanced my main wheel fairings (RV-6A) using the lead shot &
epoxy method described here several times. Is there any need to also
balance the nose wheel fairing? It seems to be physically constrained
better than the main wheel fairings, so I'm thinking there is no point
in doing it.

I was having a constant shimmy in my nose gear that I did not notice but a
formation partner said was very noticeable so I just did the balance but
have not had it checked yet. I'll report back as soon as I know if it
worked. I plan to do the mains now.

Just curious, what Life Insurance companies are the "kindest" on their
rates to pilots?

Prudential has been good to me. American express and several others
wouldn't take me without huge premiums, but Prudential was fair and
better priced by far than others.
