There is a new RV builders group started in the SLC area. One meeting so far. The
host has built a very nice looking
as well as flying RV9A with a partner, and is now building one for himself.
Contact "Bill" at w.letcher@att.net to get on the mailing list

We are subject to Quality Assurance audits in our industry. Just like
FAA testing, by the very nature of audits is they MUST find something.
Somebody must fail or there would be no reason for existence.
So, we were not averse to leaving a couple of obvious, easily noticed
(and easily corrected!) minor discrepancies that they could pounce on.
They went away happy, we were glad to be rid of them and the world
continued to turn.
The FAA medical system is a pox on all of us.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Steve Struyk" <rv8striker@hotmail.com>
List,
I weighed my plane yesterday and if my calculations are correct my CG seems a bit
forward. The weight was 1077 lbs. and the CG came to 74.03 inches. (datum is
70" forward of wing leading edge) It's a 0-360,
Hartzell CS, Odyssey battery on the firewall, ELT under the horizontal stab
and a very full IFR panel with standard "steam gauges" except for a VM-1000. If
my numbers are correct, I'll need rear ballast to fly solo. Does this seem right
for my configuration?
Comments or suggestions please.

Steve, that does seem a little far forward, although the -8s tend
towards forward C of G anyway.
Dan Checkoway has a very useful registry of RV W&B here:
http://www.rvproject.com/wab/
I might recalculate the numbers to be sure. How much weight is on
your tailwheel?

Bruce,
Keep in mind the medical community is evolving along with the medical
records system. My surgeons write a report and my AME has instant access to
it. They are not in the same office, clinic, or even town. Plus...
If you fail to answer a question truthfully, or omit an important piece of
information, you will have problems if there is an incident or even an
insurance claim. Not advocating anything here, except it isn't as straight
forward as it used to be. For me getting a medical based on careful
quietness might be the same as the fly anyway situation. Either way you
might as well forego the insurance.
Maybe a better substitute is to get your wife to learn to fly or a good
freind who goes with you most of the time anyway. Might even be cheaper.
Just my .02

I just don't see why we put up with this garbage. 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.

Remember to do some good things also for your health. Eat at all times like
your next medical depended on it. And put the rivet gun down for 30 minutes
twice each day so you can get some cardiovascular exercise. Keep your
plumbing in good shape and many medical problems can be put off far down the
runway unless your genes have it seriously against you. In any case
exercise will not hurt. I for instance cut off 20 lbs. and can now carry
3.3 lbs of extra fuel at not loss in airspeed.

Yes the records system is evolving but so is the personal privacy issues.
The FAA reciently cought 20-30 pilots in CA who lied about their medical
status on their applications. The only reason they were caught is that they
(the pilots) were also on SS disability, a government database. The FAA
cannot, by law, scan the private medical databases.

Ouch, guess they are paying now.
I see your point. At my last medical my AME already knew about my surgeries
that year. I didn't have a chance to hide anything. Wouldn't have anyway.
I may have also assumed the form we sign gave the FAA the right to access
our records. But if not, then I guess if the AME doesn't know, you could
hide something until there was a claim. Then it would no doubt come out.
I agree the whole thing should just go away. I self ground if I don't feel
confident to fly for any reason even beyond medical reasons. Isn't all
really about our own responsibilities anyway?

I would be willing to bet that the medical condition that contributes
most to accidents is both self inflicted and self healing, fatigue.
If you really want to make a bold statement, get a few hundred pilots
together and do a formation flight through the center of the DC ADIZ!
Fly very high as to appear and sound less threatening, and be sure and
publicize it in some way before hand so the military fighter pilots know
it is just a bunch of fed up GA pilots and not an attack. Less chance
of getting shot down then.

Perhaps it would come out if there were an accident, perhaps not. WRT
insurance, I don't carry hull insurance. I look at it this way, if I bend my
airplane and live, I'll have enough big pieces left to rebuild. If I'm
killed, I won't really care.

our records. But if not, then I guess if the AME doesn't know, you could
hide something until there was a claim. Then it would no doubt come out.
I agree the whole thing should just go away. I self ground if I don't feel
confident to fly for any reason even beyond medical reasons. Isn't all
really about our own responsibilities anyway?

Yes the records system is evolving but so is the personal privacy issues.
The FAA reciently cought 20-30 pilots in CA who lied about their medical
status on their applications. The only reason they were caught is that they
(the pilots) were also on SS disability, a government database. The FAA
cannot, by law, scan the private medical databases.

Bruce,
Keep in mind the medical community is evolving along with the medical
records system. My surgeons write a report and my AME has instant access to
it. They are not in the same office, clinic, or even town. Plus...
If you fail to answer a question truthfully, or omit an important piece of
information, you will have problems if there is an incident or even an
insurance claim. Not advocating anything here, except it isn't as straight
forward as it used to be. For me getting a medical based on careful
quietness might be the same as the fly anyway situation. Either way you
might as well forego the insurance.
Maybe a better substitute is to get your wife to learn to fly or a good
freind who goes with you most of the time anyway. Might even be cheaper.
Just my .02
Tim

I just don't see why we put up with this garbage. 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.

Don't give up. 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.

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.
I don't have the faintest idea what they want !!!! I can't afford big
time
lawyers,etc. so I just bought a Honda Goldwing and guess I will sell our
61 hour RV-4.
Or maybe just fly anyway ?????????

Boy do I feel dumb. I went to the hangar and re-checked all my measurements
and found the problem. My new (and correct) empty CG is 76.08 inches. Still
a bit forward but much closer to others with the same set-up.
Thanks to all who replied.

That's certainly a worthwhile option to consider. Just keep in mind that RV's are
pretty much a styrofoam cup in anything but the most benign accident, i.e.
not reuseable when crumpled. Plus it's nice to be able to afford to buy something
to fly while rebuilding.

| Subject: | 90 Degree Oil Filter Adapter |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Pat Hatch" <pat_hatch@msn.com>
Question for the list: has anyone been able to use the 90 degree oil filter
adapters on and RV-6 engine mount? I am ordering a new engine from Bart and
he was not sure whether or not this neat little mod would interfere with the
-6 mount or not. So before I order it, I would appreciate hearing from
anyone who has successfully installed one, especially if you have some
pictures. Thanks.

I had one installed but it required an additional spacer for my mount. May or
may not for you.

Gee, Chuck sounds like you were in the Military. We knew that when the IG
(Inspector General) showed up with his team that if you didn't have
something easy for them to find and write you up on, they would stay longer
and keep digging until they found something. That was their job and if
they didn't find anything that meant they weren't doing their job.
