I had the same problem because I have the grove landing gear which is thicker than
Van's stock gear. I cut a hole where the problem area was and make blisters
or bumps on the pants out of fiberglass to allow clearance.

From the info I got this is the conclusion I came to. I first wanted a bike just
like these but talked myself out of them, even though I am a cheapskate.
Just for illustration and no offense meant, but have you ever seen a clown on
a little bike at the circus? That is what comes to mind. I like the price but
be ready to pay a lot more for a serious folding bike.
Also you get what you pay for comes to mind.
If you plan on doing some serious riding, touring it is totally unacceptable.
If you just want something to peddle down the tarmac to get to the FBO the zportusa
may be fine.
From a size standpoint the small wheel zportusa models it looks like it will
fit in the back of a RV-6/7/9, but a little heavy. The 20" are just a tad too
big and they are also heavy at 35lbs.
The mid/high priced Dahon's or a Bike Friday or Brompton are top on the list.
I think the Brompton may be a slight fit problem folded, but not sure. Also if
you want to do real riding shoot for 20". Many riders tell me the 16" wheel
is marginal for real touring/sight seeing.

Has anybody on the list ever rode one of these cheap folding bikes from
www.zportusa.com
I'd like to hear a first person review of their experience. Some of these
folding bicycles from Brompton and Dahon and others are over $1000 each,
whereas this one from zport is $175 including shipping. A significant
difference. But I have not heard any first person accounts of the zport
equipment yet. I'm thinking about buying one just to look at it, but before
I do that, I'd like to hear from a person who has one.

Just wondering if there are any other RVers; that like to do fly online
combat in Ace's High ll? While it does cost to subscribe
the first two weeks are free, It is pretty intense at times. Does not
seem to help me much that I am a pilot and flight instructor
I still get shot down. regularly. :-) It is WWll style aircraft and
many to choose from. I am not associtaed in any way I just
think it is probably the best online flying there is. I have been told
that the owner of the game is an RV-4 owner.

Well, the big day finally got here. This morning at 9:35 AM, N842S "slipped the
surly bonds" and soared into the crisp (34 F) morning air above Creve Coeur Airport,
1HO. (St. Louis Area) All went according to plan with no surprises. She
flies straight as an arrow and will require no aileron or rudder trimming or
re-rigging. What a Day!

| Subject: | -7 aileron belcrank bushings |
INNOCENT GLOBAL 0.0000 1.0000 -4.4912
--> RV-List message posted by: Charlie England <ceengland@bellsouth.net>
Just spent some time perusing old messages about bellcrank bushing
problems & got a few answers but still have some questions.
The bushings I got will slide into the bellcranks fairly easily until
they hit the point where the 2nd flange is welded, about 1/3 of the way
down from the top of the tube. Either bushing into either bellcrank,
same symptom. A 3/8 drill bit will slide through the bellcrank tube
without binding; actually, it's fairly loose.
In addition, neither bushing will accept an AN4 bolt shaft. The threads
will go in with slight binding, but any attempt to go further results in
the plating being scraped off the bolt at the thread-shaft transition
point. (I've used the deburring tool on the ends of the bushings; no help.)
Is everyone having to ream both the bellcrank tube & the bushing? I
suppose that I can turn the bushing OD down without too much trouble but
trying to drill it to 1/4"+ for the bolt, without a lathe, doesn't
strike me as fun.

Charlie,
As I recall I had to ream the Bellcrank. It appears that when the assembly
is welded the areas around the welds on the inside of the tube expands
somewhat. As for the bolts going through the bushing I don't recall having
any problem with that.

Hi Charlie,
The welding process can and does cause some amount disstortion. It does seem
that the parts in question should have been reamed to final fit size....?
However, you might consider going to a machine shop and asking them to run
an adjustable reamer through The bellcranks enough to get the correct fit
for the bushing. Only remove enough material to allow a comfortable slide
fit.
Avoid removing material from the bushing as doing so will contribute
somewhat to loosness or play in the control system. Running the reamer
through the bellcranks will remove the tight spot without removing any
excess. Using the reamer will not take very long and the labour cost should
be minimal.
Hopefully you have a machine shop or better yet a friend nearby that can
provide the service for you.
Keep going,
Jim in Kelowna -- the fuse is in the paint shop

Seems to me we all know what happened, or should by now. Randy is disorganized

makes good product when he gets around to it, and is a lousy businessman.
How about we stop beating this horse?

Does anybody know the weights of the alternators that vans sells?
I search the archives but didn't find anything.
