That may make a difference in someone's decision making process. As I said, I did opt to put in the electric flaps for the convenience and paid a good deal extra for them. I have not regretted that decision. I put in the manual elevator trim because I had it and had read about the problems of fast trims with the electrics. Nowadays, one can buy the speed reducer and take care of that problem. With that, it's a toss up for me to install either one. Both work. I'll stick with the simple manual trim on the ailerons, though. It's cheap and works. Now, if I can afford it, I'll have a wing leveler on my -7A, at least. :-) Jim Sears in KY ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:42:25 AM PST US From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com Subject: Re: RV-List: electric vs manual --> RV-List message posted by: On Thursday 27 October 2005 11.20, sears@searnet.com wrote: > Jeff is correct; but, electric flaps and trim are some of those things that > can > fail if the battery fails.

I have once experienced in a PA28 when the electric trim suddely decided to strive for max nose down. Hitting the emergency cut-off solved part of the problem fairly quickly, but I still had to pull hard on the yoke. Manually retrimming to neutral felt very good indeed. I could've brought it down with the trim way off, but it would have been unpleasant. _ /Bjorn. do not archive ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:58:56 AM PST US From: "Glen Matejcek" Subject: RV-List: MEK, was inside cowl prep --> RV-List message posted by: "Glen Matejcek" Hi All- IIRC, the biggest problem with MEK is that it will take whatever it is mixed with transdermal. IE, if you use it to clean the crud out of your cowling and get it on your skin, the MEK AND the crud will be absorbed through your skin and into the underlying tissue and bloodstream. Some of you may recall DMSO of about 2 decades ago.

Hard to find locally and usually need to be mail ordered. Not of the use once type. Neoprene, Nitril, latex, & vinyl do next to nothing or nothing against it. If you are looking for something to do light degrease or strip wax build up prior to any type of paint or other material application, use something like PPG DX330 or some other naphtha type compound.

There are 4-5 small cosmetic dents that identify the layout of the rivet gun, just enough for someone to say "Hey look, someone must have dropped a rivet gun on that elevator!". I figure the shipping cost for an large and awkward package would really be "up there" in cost. I'm off to look at Dan Checkoways website to see how to use the Rage Gold. Have a goodun!

Dab a drop of the blue cream hardener in the yellow filler, mix it up well with a squeegee, and apply. There's some proper ratio of cream hardener to filler, probably in the instructions (not looking at it at the moment), but the stuff is extremely unpicky. Swipe it on with the squeegee, done deal. About 5 minutes later it's dry, and you can sand it in like 20-30 minutes if you're impatient.

The voltage of a thermocouple circuit is generated along the wires. It is NOT generated at the junctions. (If you think it is generated at the junctions, try to explain why you need a reference junction.) As the wire passes through a difference in temperature, a voltage is generated. If you make a connection or splice of a different type of alloy, any temperature difference in that region will generate the wrong amount of voltage. If all of that region is the same temperature, no spurious voltage will be generated. Metal oxides generate a LOT of voltage. (Metal oxides typically have a very high Seebeck coefficient.) If you use the wrong connector, you will often cause oxides to form, causing a very large error in the temperature reading. The correct connectors and wire are easy to find and not very expensive for typical thermocouples you would use in an airplane. You need to know the "type" of thermocouple (like "K", "J", "T"...) and buy wires and connectors of that same type.

However, for those who know or fly in the ADIZ I was wondering how you get back in once you leave the ADIZ. As I understand it you must file a flight plan to fly in the ADIZ. But if I file a flight plan to depart the ADIZ and the plan does not include my return to the ADIZ, but in flight I decide to re-enter the ADIZ, how do I do it?

Sorry for the non-building post, but I feel strongly that we must not allow the TSA to bulldoze the FAA into seizing and restricting more and more airspace.

Below is the text of the comment which I submitted. Feel free to paraphrase and use some of the ideas for your own comments. I'm sure that an inventive group such as this can come up with more ideas and angles to work. Please submit a comment of your own. Pax, Ed Holyoke Do not archive The proposal to make the airspace restrictions around the Washington, DC area permanent is a gross overreach, unnecessary, and will be next to useless in promoting national security. No general aviation aircraft has ever been used for a terrorist act in this country, yet GA has born the brunt of the airspace restrictions handed down by the Dept. of Homeland Security through the FAA. It is hard to believe the hysteria that is being promoted in the name of security. When a 1500 pound gross weight Cessna 150 cruising at 100 miles per hour causes Congress and the White House to evacuate and run for cover, there's something wrong with the basic process of threat assessment. Denying access (or making it extremely difficult and expensive) to the seat of our supposed freedoms and all the surrounding area to citizens who fly is a tacit surrender to terrorism. Terrorists set out to change our way of life, and if we give up our freedom to fly in the name of security, they have succeeded in part. Worse is that this freedom is being taken for no good reason. Having a permanent 2000 square mile no fly zone for small planes not only wouldn't prevent an act of terrorism, it's only purpose is to lull the public into believing that something is being done. This ADIZ is no more than a piece of regulatory propaganda. The economic impact of these restrictions has already been enormous. People who make their living from aviation and related activities have been hard hit and need a break, not another twist of the knife. The consequences of this draconian seizure of airspace extend far past the boundaries of the ADIZ. Just recently Arizona pilot Dale Mooneyham was falsely accused of violating the airspace in Washington, DC on a day when he was, in fact, flying in Arizona. This was because an FAA employee accidentally transposed an N number. The proposed rule would have made him a criminal with the onus on him to prove his innocence. It was only by a stroke of luck that he was able to document where he was that day and it was only through a concerted effort on his part and by AOPA and others that he was able to clear his name. We have a problem with useless airspace restrictions all over the country. When did Disneyland become a precious national resource to be protected from airborne assault? Yet it and Disneyworld have been "protected" by TFRs since '01. Mayor Daley of Chicago cited national security when he illegally bulldozed Miegs Field. He has demanded F-16 air cover for his city saying it's just as necessary there as in Washington. He may have a point - it's not necessary either place. Can't anybody see how nuts all this is? There seems to be a lot of political pressure on to do something about incursions into the area around Washington, such as large fines, possible jail sentences and revocation of pilots' licenses, when the real problem is that the area is much larger than necessary. Instead of making the area permanent, we should be reducing it's size and complexity and looking at eliminating it entirely in the near future. Give us back our airspace.

(The tower closed as I called >for taxi). The ADIZ was created as a tool to actually defend our borders, but now it is used to control our citizens. Too bad the Federal Government will not enforce strict compliance (ground and air) with our boarders as they do with the Washington ADIZ. I wonder if an undocumented alien violated the ADIZ airspace around Washington DC, if he would receive a violation! It is my opinion that the decision has already been made about a permanent ADIZ, the only question the Federal Government had about the temporary ADIZ was the size they were going to make for the permanent ADIZ. I am not a fan of civil disobedience, but in our country, whether it was women's rights or civil rights, civil disobedience led to the solution. I fear that someone will have to go to jail before this ADIZ is eliminated. We will sacrifice our youth so that some foreign country may gain their freedom, but we will do little or nothing when our own freedoms are taken away by our elected leaders. I have felt ever since the 9/11 disaster that the ultimate goal of our Federal Government was to use the 9/11 event as justification to attack and reduce the personal freedoms of our citizens. Osama Bin Laden must be having a field day with this ADIZ. Our Federal Government has done more to damage to our personal freedoms than his band of merry men could achieve in a 1000 years! Unfortunately even in the USA ; Freedom is not free, sometimes we must give up life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to pay for that Freedom that many of us have come to take for granted.

I fly in and out of Manassas and file Manassas direct Casanova VOR. My return flight plan is simply the reciprocal. If I'm out flying just for the day I file both plans at the same time. If I need to amend or file while in the air I simply Leesburg FSS. The flight plan is the same as a VFR plan other than you need to clearly tell them at the beginning that it is an ADIZ flight plan. The plan does not have to start and end at an airport. Be careful because FSSs outside the DC area don't always understand this point. I filed with Burlington, VT FSS on a trip home. The plan was from Casanova VOR direct Manassas. They took the flight plan just as they normally do. When I got down to Casanova, Potomac approach didn't have my plan. They had me circle for a couple of minutes and then came back with a xponder code and let me in. Come to find out, once I got home the Burlington FSS had called and left a message stating they couldn't enter a plan that started at a VOR and consequently they didn't file my plan. That little episode just goes to show that the whole ADIZ system is one big joke. It wastes everybody's time, creates a greater workload for the FSS and ATC and does absolutely nothing to keep us safe from Cessna 150s. By the way, AOPA has a very good on-line course about flying in and out of the ADIZ. I highly recommend you view this before attempting to negotiate the airspace. It's not really that difficult it's just an unnecessary pain and there's little mercy if you screw up.

However, for those who know or fly in the ADIZ I was wondering how you get back in once you leave the ADIZ. As I understand it you must file a flight plan to fly in the ADIZ. But if I file a flight plan to depart the ADIZ and the plan does not include my return to the ADIZ, but in flight I decide to re-enter the ADIZ, how do I do it? NOTE: This is RV related because if I do this it will be in my RV.
