The A1A is the 200hp with angle valve cylinders. The case is probably the same externally, but the sump would be different, and the overall engine width would be different. May not matter as to the FWF components, but the difference is definitely NOT the mags. I don't have my parts book handy to verify what components are in the B!B, but I own an A1A, so I know what it has. ALL Lycomings come with Slick mags, except for the -D engines with the infamous "dual mag" Bendix. Lycoming doesn't want to buy mags from TCM. Same reason Cessna switched all their singles to Lycomings. Textron owns both companies and doesn't want Teledyne Continental to get the business. In most cases, the last letter told you which type of mag. O-360 A1A was impulse coupled IIRC, while the O360 A1D was shower of sparks mags.

They want you to give up. You've already received some good advice, but to reiterate, use all available resources, i.e., AOPA, EAA, your AME. (The EAA has some excellent medical advice available just for the asking.) THEN, even though it is exasperating, complete and return ALL information they ask for via certified mail, return receipt. My dad had heart valve replacement surgery TWICE and he was able to get his Class III medical for 6 months at a time. He had to have stress tests and Echo Cardiograms (and maybe some other exams) every 6 months. (He did have good health insurance which surprisingly paid for most of it.) After about 3 cycles of their delays, he got smart and started the paperwork and tests in the 3rd month, so he could submit it in the 4th month, and then he dogged them on the status every week, so he could have his next 6 month approval in time to keep flying uninterrupted. He did this for several years until they told him he couldn't fly anymore at the age of 84. And by the way, if he had not been able to fly, I, as well as his instructor, would have stepped in and told him so. Again, if you really want to fly, don't give up!

I will not bore every-one that reads this, with all the details. Some high lites,, I have had to send all documents requested at least three times... also by fax... Keep receiving letters from different people, asking for documents, I have mailed to the other person who signed the letter... NOw after four months, they ask for a complete Stress test, including the Echo Cardiogram etc...My question is, does any one know, what the numbers are, for some one 67? that is, what would be the passing grades on these test. I have tried to get some info, from the FAA they said they cannot give any info, that will be based on the results... These test are going to cost me hundreds of dollars, as medicare will not pay unless, is requesteds by my Physician no? And after all this, the FAA can said, medical denied...I DOP NOT TAKE ANY MEDICINES, EXCEPT LIPITOR 10 MG. I did get some help from AOPA, they suggested, that when mailing any document to send them, certified mail, return receipt. They gave me the address to do this, since the envelopes FAA send have the box address... I did that the last time, 2 weeks after I have not received the confirmation. Also I get letters from them, 2 weeks after the date on the letter, and of course, it says, if you do not send requested info. within 30 days, the request for madical will cancell...well I do not have 30 days, I haved 2 weeks It is unbelievable..... Appreciate any suggestions or Info.

I have been told that the builder community of RV's is amazing and judging from this forum, I would agree. This will be my first airplane construction project (I owned a kitfox that was built by a local guy here so I have a bit of experience maintaining aircraft) so I would like to get to know some local guys that have "been there, done that" that I can talk to and hopefully get some tips and tricks from. Obviously, any moral support and words of encouragement to keep working and finish the project are always welcome. I would love to talk to anyone who is currently building, flying or otherwise doing something related to any of the Vans Aircraft line. Thanks guys and I hope to be joining in on the forum with my own project, and at some point flying, RV7! Darin Hawkes Look What The New Netscape.com Can Do!

After a number years of this periodic harassment, it was apparent that this part of the organization justified its budget (and growth) on the number of people that it "caught" or flunked their "tests". I mean - how could you possibly justify a multimillion dollar budget, people, equipment and facilities if you only "caught" one or two a year - think about it. I finally confronted their management with my view point - my next test time, I required three tests/retry to pass - I am convinced I only passed because I refused to say "Uncle" and kept insisting on another poly - did I "pass". I think the message from management was very clear. Not saying by any means that there are not valid failures of tests, there certainly are - but it is equally clear that jobs, positions, etc are at stake and they are based not on the number of people that pass a test but on the number that fail or at least the number that require "extensive" study and scrutiny..

I remember a local GIII pilot here who had a rare lung disease. He went in and took his 3rd class, but half way through the exam he started to get light headed and gave the flight surgeon some excuse to go to his car. He then hyperventilated on some pure O2 he had, went back inside and passed his physical. Sure he lied, but he died (in bed) 3 days after his physical, so I guess he doesn't care. Lets look at what the FAA doc is looking for at a 3rd class exam. Eyes (vision), Blood pressure, any surgeries?, sugar in the urine? Anything else, unless you have a big scar down the center of your chest, they aren't going to find. They only know what you tell them.

You only need a licensed private pilot ASEL to ride with you until you get the medical. Try www.aviationmedicine.com for assistence with the FAA. They are ex-FAA folks and medical experts that specialize in getting folks special issuances. ----- Original Message ----- From: Subject: RV-List: http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse/rv-list/0089.html --> RV-List message posted by: Oldsfolks@aol.com I hold a class A commercial drivers license and can drive my big diesel truck anywhere , but the Fatherless Aviation Administration denied my class 3 medical after I passed the stress test and sent letters from my cardiologist and internal medicine specialist stating that I was no more likely to be incapicated than anyone else in the general population.

You can adjust the 8 degree tilt in the software by pushing a few buttons. I forget just now which buttons, but it's all in the manual.

It will all come clear after you have played with the buttons and refered to the manual enough to run down and re-charge the interal battery a few times (if you ordered the internal battery that is?) :) One re-charge on the main battery should more than do it. {[;-) Jim in Kelowna in Kelowna- Epoxying the slider windshield. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Bundy" Subject: RV-List: Dynon + panel tilt? > --> RV-List message posted by: "Ed Bundy" > > I just bought an EFIS and an EMS from Dynon and I couldn't find anything > in > the archives about the panel tilt in a 6a.

It works fine. You set the level flight attitude on the display in flight and it remembers it evermore. If you are going to use the external magnetic sensor, you have to set it to match the panel mounted unit if I remember correctly. Call or e-mail Michael Schofield [mike@dynonavionics.com] for technical questions. He was very helpful to me when I had an issue. Have fun with it.

In other words go on strike and fly when and where we want without carrying the now all important medical. From grass roots support, political activism, research as to how small the medical problem is in flying incidences, and just plain not bowing to an invasion of our freedom, we could change this to say the least poor system of governance. It is my contention that flying on the drivers lic., continued rigorous flight reviews, self grounding when medical conditions warrant would creat flying every bit as safe as the mythical notion of the gov, that they in their big brotherism are protecting the public and us from ourselves. The EAA, AOPA, and our viglence is the only thing standing between us and the FAA from bring the whole of GA flying to a state of being grounded. Expanded medical hoopes to jump through, closures of air space, and unbelievable rules to certify aircraft are all done to either on purpose or unknowingly bring our right and freedom to fly to a slow grinding halt. Alone we will be an easy target for flight denial. Together we could change this assault on our right to travel where we want, when we want, and how we want. So with all this said I will now go back to pounding rivets, working out my electrical needs, and trying to figure where to get the $$$$$$$$$$$ to finish my project, and just hope my health holds long enough so I can have the thrill that many of you have experieced of flying the plane you built. By the way any good advice in regards to ex-bus or fuses or circuit breakers. Thanks for all the info you great people give....................
