Just purchased a Dymo Rhino5000 =96 great little machine for printing labels.
The really neat part is that you can purchase 6mm & 9mm yellow shrink wrap
tubing to print on. Printing can be wrap around the shrink wrap horizontally
or vertically, print sizes from extra small (really very very small) to very
large (limit would be half the tubes circumference. Got it from
labelcity.com =96 good prices, fast delivery.
This solution is obviously costlier than using transparent shrink wrap on
paper standard printer labels but what a great time saver, and a
professional looking job to.
I thought I=92d contribute this tidbit.

Without having to dig up wire dimensions, how does 6mm & 9mm translate
into AWG sizes? Will this label #22 and #20, as well as #10 wires
in Tefzel?

Subject: Aviation Laboratories, has temporarily closed the New Orleans
(Kenner) facility
Aviation Laboratories, a leading provider of laboratory services, has been
forced to temporarily close their New Orleans (Kenner) facility due to
Hurricane Katrina. Although the laboratory suffered only minimal damage from
the hurricane (at 5' elevation it is a high point in Kenner and will not
flood), there are no water or power services to the area and laboratory
personnel are under mandatory evacuation orders, so the laboratory has been
temporarily closed. For those Aviation Laboratories customers who sent
samples to the Kenner facility last week, please contact Aviation
Laboratories so they can track the shipment. For those Aviation Laboratories
customers who are sending samples, please send them to the Houston
laboratory at Aviation Laboratories, 5401 Mitchelldale Street, Suite B6,
Houston, Texas 77092. If you have any questions or require additional
information, please contact Aviation Laboratories at 800-256-6876 or
sales@avlab.com. If you know of anyone who may not have received this email
message but uses Aviation Laboratories for their laboratory services, please
pass this message along to them.

Gents,
I have managed to get the bugs worked out and the plane running very
well. I performed a bunch of data logging last night and have posted the
results.
I am very pleased with the numbers. These are accurate and conservative
as Im still missing upper leg intersection fairings. Eat your heart out!

| Subject: | Super 8 performance data autolearn=unavailable version=3.0.3 |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Stewart, Michael (ISS Atlanta)" <mstewart@iss.net>
The first thing I did was do some GPS runs, 90 degree offset to
determine if my EFIS TAS continuous reading was accurate. I took my
laptop and ran a program similar to this one to determine accuracy of my
instruments.
http://www.csgnetwork.com/tasgpscalc.html
I made a bunch of runs at various speeds and altitudes and found my EFIS
to display TAS w/I 0-1.5 knots consistently. Once I knew my instrument
readings were accurate, I took all numbers of both indicated and true
and wrote them down as I made my runs. I captured over 80 rows of data
and put them into a spreadsheet and wallah, there you have it.
I was very surprised to see the data at 2150 RMP to meet or exceed the
2350RPM data. I can only attribute this to the prop really liking that
speed for some reason. And boy you could really feel how happy the
engine was to be there too. I was seeing this trend and reran the data
twice and confirmed it.
Mike

At 2300 rpm the rockets just burn more gas and don't go much faster than
they do at 2100rpm. Doesn't matter if its a two or three blade prop. 2100
rpm is the "sweet spot", smoother and quieter at that setting. Last year I
did some four way gps runs in Mark Frederick's F1 and at 10500ft, 2100rpm,
22" mp, 11.8gph, 50 degrees ROP, the computed gps/tas speeds were 205kts.
While running LOP in cruise I typically saw 200kts burning 9.5-10gph.
Mine, of course, will do better than that. :) <knock on wood>

The tape is specified as 0.15 or 6mm diameter - depending on whether you
are buying it in the US or overseas. If we assume it is actually 0.25"
wide, the diameter is 2 x .25 / pi = .16" OD which probably equivalent
to 0.125" ID sleeving. This will work with #20 and #22 just fine (it
shrinks up to 3:1). The 9mm is 50% larger or approximately 3/16" ID.
While this printer is quite cheap, the tape is quite expensive - $25 -
27 for five ft, of shrink sleeving.
An alternative is to find a used Kroy 2500 or 5100 which would be about
the same price. Or a Kroy PC3000 if you can hook it up to a computer
(for about $100). The sleeving cost is $29 -30 for 110" (9.2 ft) for
all these printers. Of course, they will all also make labels -
permanent or not-so-permanent.

Double Eagle RV Fly-in
8-9 October 2005
Where: Albuquerque NM Double Eagle II airport (KAEG);
<http://www.airnav.com/airport/KAEG>http://www.airnav.com/airport/KAEG
Fly-in principles: No scheduled events. Nice area with a variety of
events to keep spouses happy. The main attraction is the Balloon
Fiesta that ends this weekend. Intended for a quick weekend getaway.
FBO: Bode
Aero:
<http://www.flybode.com/deairport.htm>http://www.flybode.com/deairport.htm
Airport restaurant: Prop Wash Caf=E9, 505-831-2359
Cost: None. No registration fee. Attendees are responsible for hotel
and car reservations. The FBO suggested making car reservations
through tem.
Miscellaneous: Bring your own tiedown ropes/straps/etc. Please email
<mailto:ronlee@pcisys.net>ronlee@pcisys.net if you intend to come to
ensure that ramp space does
not become a problem. Non-RV aircraft welcome.
Aviation issues: Note that the Albuquerque airspace is not far from AEG
(to the east). Mountains are nearby. Density altitude can be high so
understand impact to flight (such as engine mixture leaning and higher
take-off and landing groundspeeds)
Hotels: Many in the Albuquerque area. Those listed below were checked
27-28 June 2005. Strongly suggest making reservations as early as possible.
Hotels listed below in three groups based upon distance from airport (AEG)
and the balloon park. This is nowhere near a complete listing. Another
source for making reservations is
here: <http://www.nmtravel.com/bfres/>http://www.nmtravel.com/bfres/ or
888-398-5537 (Press 2 for reservations). Most prices exclude taxes. In
general I tried to price a single bed (usually king) and two adults

Sorry Dean, but this one was.
This aircraft was a DHC-4T conversion, using Canadian Pratt & Whitney PT-6
engines. It was c/n 240, originally delivered to the Kenya Air Force as
KAF 204. Later registered to New Cal Aviation as 5Y-BER and N400NC.
Converted to PT-6 engines in Canada and had about 25 hours test flying
under EXPERIMENTAL category when it crashed on takeoff at Gimli Industrial
Airpark, Manitoba, 27 Aug 92.
I've been researching this through a contact in the Canadian Museum of
Flight... He recalls seeing this video being shown at a Transport Canada
booth at a PAMEA tradeshow a number of years ago, and at the time the
Transport officials claimed it was actual footage of the crash. They
wouldn't have much reason to lie about it. They said that the film was one
of the strongest pieces of evidence that the control locks engaged during
takeoff, as you can see the controls don't move once it's off the ground.
Another friend pointed out what is probably the most compelling argument
for this being a real video... Why would someone go to the trouble to
create a CGI video of a crash of an obscure Canadian aircraft? It's not
historically significant. If they did re-create it, why would they make it
blurry, poorly framed, and miss most of the most interesting few seconds
(the crash and fire starting)?

One other alternative is the machine I have described here
(see entry dated 9/12/04)
http://www.rv7-a.com/avionics_panel_2.htm
It will accept 3mm tapes, small enough to label 18GA wire
and I labelled all wires, even smaller than 18 with it
sucessfully.
At around $300 it's not the cheapest but I was able to label
every single wire without any real effort/time wasted.

One other thing on the Dymo model, if you Google rhinopro 5000 you will come
up with a couple places cheaper than label city including one place that has the
shrink tubes in the teens. I ordered the kit from Buy.com for $115.

You know, that if you can print small, you make your own labels and put
clear shrink tubing around it and put them on. I use some typing paper
and print it out then cut it out and put a length wise crease with my
thumb nail and slip it into a piece of tubing that I cut about 1/4"
longer (each end) I get my shrink tubing from McMaster Carr.
Small tubing for everything up to ?#16 is P/N 7856K133 "Clear" (
1/8" down to 1/16") I've used a lot of tubing, I'd recommend at
least 25 to 30' or so for your project. I also ordered the next size PN
7856 K15_ for the bigger wires and some 7856K173 "Clear"( 1/2 to 1/4")
for the larger power wires. Works nice and CHEEP. Got my heat shrink
gun from Nuckhols / B&C Speciaties 6 years ago. Still working after my
first build.
Found it on top of page 688, Polyolefin color coded thin wall
tubing Cat #109 cheaper by the 25' roll. Specify the color to be
clear. 2:1 shrink ratio.

The tape is specified as 0.15 or 6mm diameter - depending on whether you
are buying it in the US or overseas. If we assume it is actually 0.25"
wide, the diameter is 2 x .25 / pi = .16" OD which probably equivalent
to 0.125" ID sleeving. This will work with #20 and #22 just fine (it
shrinks up to 3:1). The 9mm is 50% larger or approximately 3/16" ID.
While this printer is quite cheap, the tape is quite expensive - $25 -
27 for five ft, of shrink sleeving.
An alternative is to find a used Kroy 2500 or 5100 which would be about
the same price. Or a Kroy PC3000 if you can hook it up to a computer
(for about $100). The sleeving cost is $29 -30 for 110" (9.2 ft) for
all these printers. Of course, they will all also make labels -
permanent or not-so-permanent.

I called the company that was involved. Yes the Video is real.
Yes it happened and Yes there was a video taken.
The video was confiscated by the accident investigation authorities and was held.
When the investigation was over the video was never to be released ti the public
by request of the next of kin, but they allowed it to be retained for internal
use as a training video. Well Like Pam and Paris it was leaked to the Internet.
There is another tragedy.
It is the real deal. A Vietnam pilot with 6,000 hrs of Caribou time (not Buffalo),
the Son of the companies president, the pilot and a young engineer riding
along died.
This was NOT the first flight. IT had 25 hours.
The final conclusion was inconclusive except the the pilot was not able top control
the aircraft. Gust lock engagement is the theory but there was not enough
left to determine conclusively (melted). The gust lock lever BTW falls across
the throttle levers, so the throttles can not be move until the gust lock is
disengaged. The other theory was the elevator jack screw (trim) was frozen or
failed and the plane was way out of trim for full flaps, but no one (no one) is
100% sure. A tragedy to be sure.
As far as all the computer tricks and RC model theories, I can tell you turbo prop
blades turn at slower RPMs, you can see gear doors and details that looks
just like picture's of this model aircraft and you can see into and thru the cockpit
windows and fuselage windows.
Thank you

So the company had the film and someone spirited it out and posted in on the Internet?
Was the cameraman -- the guy on tape -- an employee of the company? Did

I'll take your word for it that it's real.

I believe it has been too long (some might say not long enough) since I
posted some of my reasons why those still building should hurry up and get
flying. So, if you are looking for details on what sort of pr#mer to use,
hit delete.
A couple evenings ago I was just flying around, heading over towards our MN
Wing's president's house (he lives in Wisconsin, go figure) to see if he was
out on his deck. It was a beautiful evening, sun setting, visibility a
million miles, with only bug splats to obscure my forward vision (I hoped
most of the splats were from skeeters). Anyway, I'm looking for traffic as
usual, and lo and behold I see a plane at about 12 O'Clock, about 500' high
and a half mile. As I get closer, I see it is an RV6. I make a call on
22.75, no answer. So, I did what any good RV pilot might do, I turned
towards his path to get a closer look. I guess he noticed me then, and
quite soon I hear on the radio "Alex, is that you?", "Yeah, is that Mike?".
So, I flew about a hundred feet off his wing and we chatted a bit. Oh yeah,
I need to go see if Doug (the president) is on his deck, so I peel away from
Mike in a few g pull (that is a cool thing to see from the other plane).
Never did see if Doug was on the deck, too small from a 1000' up and the sun
had set. Next, it was time to head back to the home airport for some power
off practice (Doug R., you have a good influence on me!). On the way I flew
a little negative g's to keep the ol' oil system working. I thought I had
everything secured, but I heard a little rattling in the baggage area, so I
looked up (down?) at the canopy, and picked some little fitting off from it.
Then another little part. They didn't look like anything the plane couldn't
fly without, so I put them in my pocket for future analysis. (I later
figured out they came from a cigarette lighter plug which had come apart. I
found two of the three parts, so I guess I need to go out and get negative
again to look for the third.) As dusk turned to dark, I made 7 power off
landings from downwind, but I needed to add power on one of them, so I need
to keep practicing.
Yesterday I took off from my home airport (non-federal control tower). "RV
six alpha pop, cleared for takeoff on 27, right turn on course", "right
turn, six alpha pop". As I climb out through 2500 msl, the tower calls me:
"Alex, are you coming back today?". Of course, I'm immediately wondering if
I did something wrong, and they want to know when to call in the feds.
Surely they are going to bust me. Actually, they just want to know if they
should keep the strip out :"affirm, I'll be back around 8:30 or 9:00
tonight, keep the lights on". The KANE tower guys are the coolest. The
flight to 05Y (118nm NW of here) was just another piece of paradise, as I
climbed above a scattered layer at about 4500', and set up cruise at 6500'.
I sat there just giggling to myself, never having forgotten (in 670 hours)
just how cool it is to fly a plane I built with my own hands. I land at 05Y
(nice grass strip in my home town of 700 people), taxi to the parking area
and shut down. I'm looking out the front of the plane and I see a gopher
about 75 feet ahead. Now, understand that Minnesota isn't called the Gopher
State because we like these little vermin, especially at an airport.
Anyway, I just happened to have behind me in the baggage area a nice little
German air pistol. I cocked the gun and put a pellet in it. I stood up on
the seat and was taking aim - oops, looks like it would be a little close to
the prop - yeah, right there. Pow, no more gopher (lucky shot from 75').
The amount of life one can cram into an hour or two of flying a plane built
with one's own hands is truly amazing. This small plane has taken me (and
usually a passenger - I am able to share most of my flying with someone)
from Minnesota to south Florida four times, the west coast once and NM once.
Plus, many many trips to find pancakes in Minnesota and Wisconsin. It has
shown me thousands of the ten thousand lakes in this state. There has never
been a single flight when I haven't thought about how truly wonderful flying
a plane built in the garage is.
Keep chuggin', it will be a dream come true.

| Subject: | Which spark plug? |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Ed Bundy" <ebundy@speedyquick.net>
Last week I ordered a set of spark plugs for my 0-320-D1A. The table in the
Spruce catalog showed REM40E as the specified flavor.
When I went to replace them, the original plugs in the engine (new from
Lycoming) were REM38E which is a colder version.
Lycoming service instruction 1042x lists both the 40 and 38 as approved.
Anyone know the pros/cons of the two, or is there no practical difference?
Thanks,
Ed Bundy

--> RV-List message posted by: "Sherri & Paul Richardson" <prichar@mail.win.org>
Hello Again,
I've decided to install the Trutrak ADI, does the internal GPS option require a
separate GPS antenna? I have a Garmin panel unit, and was wondering if I should
tie into the existing GPS antenna, or if the term "internal" includes the antenna.
Thanks,
Paul Richardson

--> RV-List message posted by: "wskimike" <wskimike@mchsi.com>
Building an RV would only qualify you for the airframe license if you were
working with a license mechanic that would sign you off stating you worked
with him for at least 18 months performing certain maintenance tasks in
different areas such as ice and rain control systems, hydraulic and
pneumatic systems, fire protection systems, cabin and atmosphere control
systems, welding, ice and rain control systems, aircraft covering (dope and
fabric), landing gear systems (including hydraulic), just to mention a few
of the basic systems you are required to gain experience. If an A&P signs
you off just by building an RV, in my opinion, he is watering down the value
of having earned an A&P by those of us that got it by learning all the
systems required through experience or by going to school for two years to
learn all required systems other than sheet metal, flight control rigging,
and electrical. Maybe that is why we only make pennies and A&P's are leaving
the field by the droves. Forget about engine experience required which
requires more than just mounting the engine. The answer to your question is
yes you can probably find someone to pencil whip you and sign you off, but
it's not right.

| Subject: | Garmin 396 (Very Long) |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Larry Pardue" <n5lp@warpdriveonline.com>
Howdy,
I've had my 396 for a week now, and considering delivery time there may
still be a lot of people that are curious about it, so here are my
impressions.
First, I hate cords around the cockpit, so you can tell I like the 396
because it has one, two, three, four of them and I am still using the unit.
Quite a challenge to get them all running the proper directions so the stuff
they go to works and the cords don't get in your way. The GPS antenna and
the XM antenna are completely separate and the GPS antenna cord is a lot
longer. This makes me wonder if Garmin, as much as I respect them, knows
much about their customers.
The GPS antenna is quite easy to place. You may not even need the external
antenna, but if you do, that antenna can go pretty much anyplace, like just
up on the glareshield. This is the one that has the long cord.
The XM antenna has a short cord but it needs much better sky coverage to
work well and just to make things really challenging, Garmin put a strong
magnet in it with an admonition to not open or tamper with the unit (like to
pull the stupid magnet off). The magnet means you cannot, at least in my
plane, put the antenna anywhere near the glareshield, yet the cord is not
long enough to put it much of anywhere else. There is an extension supplied
for this antenna, but that makes the cord really really long with way too
much cord to deal with.
The magnetic base on the XM antenna is probably so you can slap it on the
roof of your car to go storm chasing, but I find it works works well inside
the car just slung up on the dash under the windshield.
Experimenting a bit I finally hit on the idea of using the magnetic base to
attach that antenna to the base supplied with the GPS antenna, that is
intended for suction cup mounting. There is room there and everything.
Oops, that base is aluminum, just like my airplane and so the magnet is
worthless, again, except to mess up the compass.
So I have ended up with the 396 mounted on Garmin's marine mount that is in
turn mounted to an imstrument hole cover that is in a convenient place.
This leaves barely enough XM antenna cord to run back to the pilot's seat
back along the side of the cockpit. There the GPS antenna with its mount is
velcroed to the top of the seat back, partially under the upholstery and the
XM antenna is insecurely wire tied to that same mount. The two cords are
wire tied together.
I really think integrating the two antennas or a least making a mount that
can accept both of them would be a better idea.
Another cord hooks up to the audio system for the XM radio audio and the
aural warnings. I have subscribed to the radio to see if I use it or not.
So far I like it (I also have XM radio in my car). I have used an IPod in
the plane with the miniature earbuds under my headset. I found that the
fidelity is lost in the noisy airplane, and the earbuds hurt after I while.
I enjoy the XM radio through mono aircraft headsets, just as well, at least
at a low level and some nice classical music while showing passengers the
wonders of the canyons of the Guadalupes should be great.
The other cord is power. The 396 has a useful, rechargable, battery and for
now I plan to carry the power cord but only use it as needed. If you are
flying all day, you will need it, at least at high screen backlighting
levels.
I am finding the screen extremely readable under all conditions.
I have done quite a bit of testing of the obstruction and terrain alert
functions. This is a big reason I got this unit and it has worked
flawlessly. Even if you are not on the terrain page, a little window comes
up showing the obstruction in relation to the airplane, with distance rings.
At the same time Mrs. Garmin warns you about the obstruction or terrain
aurally.
The biggy, of course, is weather. I'm completely hooked on that part. It
is amazing to fly along with such situational awareness. There is the
lightning, there is the rain, there is the front and there are the TFR's. A
significant drawback is that the weather is not available immediately but
the important things are available pretty quick. The weather is downloaded
sequentially and some items are not updated very often. The other day I
made a 20 minute flight where the satellite photo never did appear. What
did appear though, were the thunderstorms and lightning along my route, in
relation to terrain and towns and roads and how the cells were moving. I do
find it a little disorienting that the pure weather products, like winds
aloft forecast, are always north up, whereas the navigation map superimposed
weather is course up or north up, whatever you have chosen.
I won't comment on the many other functions such as auto autorouting with
voice guidance, astronomical and all the other Garmin stuff that always
works well.
Other than all the cords and the nonintegrated antennas and useless magnets
and the supplied stick on mount that will not attach to anything on the GPS,
I am pretty well stunned.

Well, I was with you right up until this paragraph. I haven't spent much
time in Minnesota, but any day on which I killed an animal just because it
was there wouldn't rank up there in my "best day" lists.

I believe if you read the whole story, including between the lines, you
will find out he did not kill it "just because it was there". He had
just landed at a nice little grass strip and if you had ever hit a
gopher hole on such a strip, you would understand. I am not saying you
would have done the same thing, but what he did was quite understandable
in that situation. I don't go around killing things for the fun of it
either, but when something potentially puts my life in danger, I will
respond appropriately - just as Alex did.
