Alex,
Does your AFP injection system come out of the bottom of the sump - a la carburetor
replacement?
I have seen some that look like they come out of the front of the sump.
Looks like Mr Vetterman has his stuff together.......
Thanks

I spent the weekend going though tons of RV websites looking for polished planes.....found very few. Just wondering if any of you guys can narrow the search for me. I just wanted to get some pictures to use as inspiration for paint schemes. There was an RV 8 I saw at Vans homecoming last year that was red on the front and had a polished tailcone...very pretty. Also for those who have not seen it check the link below to a picture of Jon Scholl's paint job.......its in the completions section on Vans site. http://www.vansaircraft.com/images/first_flight/Scholl_lg.jpg Too cool, but maybe bad Ju Ju :)

Hi,
Anyone know where I can get some 2" ID firesleeve?
This is a bit larger than all the usual suspects

Perhaps if I knew the "generic" name for firesleeve
I could find some at McMaster.com.

Okay, got the rest of the story. ALL electrical failed. The wife in the
right seat said she heard a loud pop (thought it might be lightning --- it
wasn't) then all the electrical went out. Upon landing they noticed that
some of the paint from the leading edge of the wings had been blown off.
They're thinking that since there were no electrical discharge wicks
installed (This is a turbine Lancair) the static electricty built up on the
airframe and nearly catastrophically discharged to the atmosphere. I guess
this is important to plastic airplanes?
I guess the moral of this story is to make doubly sure all safety aspects to
our building are adhered too. You never know what seemingly insignificant
gremlin is waiting to screw up your day.

spinner back-plate
Here is how I solved my problem. I glassed the intersection fairing to
both the fuselage and the cowl, while the cowl was attached to the
plane. Then using a dremel tool with a cut-off wheel, I sliced the
intersection fairing at an angle that matches the landing gear legs. I
then glassed small strips of fiberglass to the inside of the
intersection fairing that remained on the fueslage, protruding out so as
to be under the intersection fairing that is attached to cowling. This
stops the wind from getting under the intersection fairing that is
attached to the fuselage.
Send me an e-mail and I will send you a photo.

A little back and forth, eh? ;-)
This may be another difference between the nosewheel and tailwheel
versions.
On my tailwheel -6 the landing gear fairings make it impossible to
remove
the lower cowl by dropping it vertically. To remove the lower cowl, I
pull
the fasteners, then the cowl will drop an inch or so. At that point, the
aft
edge is resting on the gear leg fairings and the front is captured by
the
spinner, with a soft rag between the spinner and cowl. I use the ledge
where
the aft cowl rests as a hinge point of sorts to lower the front of the
cowl
(you've gotta flex it to clear the spinner). Once the front of the cowl
is
free and clear of the spinner, I slide the entire cowl forward and off
of
the gear leg fairing/hinge points to free it. Doable with 2 hands,
preferable to have a helper.

shucks, mine clearly has T202 F 34 stamped on it and on the bag it came in it
is listed as NPT 1/2 -14 T202N and the hangar crowd all agree it's not NPT threading.
And darn if I can use it- it sure looks better than the more expensive one I ended
up using :-)
I'll bet if I tried it, it would work even if threads on it don't exactly match
the taper of the square plug I removed....

I purchased the T202N. I couldn't use it because in my IO 360 a1b6d
installation because there's not enough clearance between the drain handle and
an
air intake pipe to thread the darn thing on. So I traded with another RVer
for his spare aeroequip quick drain. He ended up not wanting it because it
didn't appear to be a true pipe thread and it was also slightly over .5 inch
diameter. He didn't even bother to try and thread it on.
When you compare it to the standard plug, there was no taper to the 202Ns
threads. It was constant diameter all the to the firs
t thread. Did anyone
else notice that?
================================
Then you must have received a mis-marked one from Fumoto. The threads on
mine (circa 1997) are clearly national pipe threads (tapered) and the valve
body tightened perfectly in the Lycoming sump.

"Firesleeve" is a silicone/fiberglass covering that is used to protect
hydraulic hoses from heat ( good to about 500 degrees F) in industrial
settings.
In the US it can be purchased from Motion Industries. They have a branch in
most major cities.
It comes in a variety of sizes and can be bought by the foot.

Doug I'm a FORD man and painted my 6 Ford Lapis Blue. I do notice the fuel in the
tanks seem to expanded on those hot days. Keep the fuel level below the filler
neck if you plan on parking your plane outside for a while.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Doug Medema" <doug.medema@comcast.net<mailto:doug.medema@comcast.net>>
If you looked at my website after my previous post, you know
I'm seriously
contemplating painting my plane a dark blue (actually
Chevrolet Indigo Blue
like on my TrailBlazer.) I know a dark colored car can get
very hot inside
but am wondering if it makes much difference on an RV. We
have the clear
canopy and mine already has a black glareshield. The only
area in the cockpit
that would be affected is the area over the back of the
baggage compartment.
So, any of you that have dark paint on the top -- does your
cockpit get really
hot in the sun, or do you think it is about the same as a
lighter color?
Thanks,
Doug Medema

| Subject: | Dimpled skin and clecos |
--> RV-List message posted by: gerns25@netscape.net
I checked the archives for information on this subject but found none. The problem
I am having is this:
While building the Horiz. stabilizer I have found that after dimpling the skin
and the ribs, the 3/32" clecos don't hold for anything...the spring in the skin
pulls them out of 90% of the holes. I match drilled all the flush rivets using
the #40 bit and dimpled everything using the 3/32" dimple die set. The holes
are just a hair too large for the clecos. Has anyone else had this problem?
Another thing, it seems as though this only happens in the ribs (thinner material),
the rear and forward spar don't have the problem. I dimpled this stuff
with my pneumatic squeezer if that makes a difference. I know there is not
a whole lot I can to about it now but can someone give me some advice for the
future skins?

Darin, occasionally I had that problem but it would only be about 1% of the
holes. Dimpling definitely makes the hole larger though. Are you using tank
dimple dies from Cleveland, they will make a larger hole?
