I went to Oshkosh for the first time last year, and I stayed in the dorms. I did
it all last minute, since the flights from Switzerland were very expensive
until a week before the event. Still can't quite understand that...
Anyway, the dorms are convenient. The dining area is close, cheap, and good.
Shuttle bus leaves every 30 minutes. Community shower, so if you don't like to
see fat, naked men every morning, get up early to take your shower! :)
I even heard a rumor that some dorms will get air conditioning this year...
If I'm not flying in with my RV, I'll stay at the dorms again.

Good idea, but be advised that Milwaukee area RV rentals book up quickly
for that week, just like Oshkosh area hotels.

Thanks Matt for the new "look". I'm sure it took considerable time and effort
to produce. I wish you great success. I'm sure many familiar names we all come
across on the various forums will sign on and post here. It is my hope that
submitters will use their real name and possibly an avatar so that we all can
better connect names and faces with content freely shared.
Best of luck,

Buy a tent, sleeping bag,,cheap cooler and a few other items when you

Matt, you can do it!!! At bare minimum, all you need extra is your
tent, a sleeping bag, and an air mattress. Pack them in a good box and
check them with your suitcase. Buy a cheap foam cooler when you get
there and discard it when you leave. If you really want to go whole
hog, buy a backpackers camp stove and a pot so you can cook some food,
but there's always food around, albeit pretty pricey. Another tip:
Talk to your 'neighbors' and offer to buy some food for the group and
have them cook it. Hook up with an RV group ..... Van's RV!...... the
options are there if you want them. You get to meet new friends and
that makes the 'experience' far more pleasureable/

--> RV-List message posted by: LessDragProd@aol.com
Hi Jimmy,
This is a real long shot, except it happened to me. Try pulling the oil
screen and looking for metal.
I had a symptom like carb ice on my O-290. Slight loose of RPM, engine
running rough, and all the engine gages looked good. However, not quite what
you
are describing.
You might check the fuel screen at the inlet in the carb, also.
Regards,
Jim Ayers

Mike,
Thanks for your input. I will give you as much info as I can.
1. I haven't put a gauge on it, but compression seems normal on all
cylinders when pulling prop through.
2. Don't have EGT gauge.
3. Have not noticed any change in fuel burn.
4. Does not miss at idle when cold, however, after the problem develops, it
is hard to start and runs rough at all power settings including idle.
This past weekend after once around the patch, the engine starting showing
the problem again. So I took it up to around 5000 msl and repeated running
at full power, pulling back to idle, and then re-applying power at different
mixture settings and with/without carb heat. The engine consistently lost
power completely (to the point of almost dying) and then gradually came back
to full power. It really didn't like the carb heat and seemed to be worse
with the leaner settings, but still did the same thing at full rich although
to a lesser degree.
I have pulled the spark plugs and cleaned them, although I did not find any
of them dirty or fouled.
I replaced the carb, air filter, checked all intake tube clamps for
tightness. Checked fuel inlet screen for cleanliness.
If you (or anyone) has more questions, please let me know. I have got to
get this problem corrected.
Thanks again, Jimmy

I am flying in, not driving. Speaking if which, is it necessary to get a rental
car to get from Milwaukee airport to the campground or do
they offer some kind of bus transportation? Also, are there restaraunts within
walking distance of the campground?
Thanks,

It's worth noting that the new BB system is based on PHPBB, which is a
great system (I use it myself, http://flying.b4.ca) but apparently has
problems with scalability (this is based on hearsay from the 'net, not
personal experience... My user base is a lot smaller than the Matronics
lists).
It's possible that if enough people try accessing the site at the same
time, that you'll see slowdowns. This threshold may be lower for PHPBB
than for some other packages, but PHPBB does have the advantage of being
free, easy to use, and very customizable.

I haven't seen this mentioned -- You also can box up whatever you want and
UPS it next day to yourself at EAA Camp Scholler - Then same thing to your
home when you leave. Makes room in your RV for flying comfort and/or easier
to checkin at airlines for R/T flights. Mike RV3 N29AT

--> RV-List message posted by: "Ross S" <rv7maker@hotmail.com>
It may only be 7 or so cubes per cylinder, but if you look at the total
displacement difference, the 390 is 8.3% bigger. Equate this to power and
your looking at almost 17 horses. In reality, the 390 doesn't make 217
horses, it makes right at 210. Many have been run on a good dyno (BPE in
Tulsa) and they do in fact make rated power, which is more than can be said
for the 200 horse rated 360.
So, do you belive that 17 hp can add 5% or about 10 mph? You better, cause
it does. Just ask the 360 guys that get passed up.

The BBS is running on a dual-processor, Xeon Linux system with 5Gb of RAM so everything
is memory resident. Best I can tell at this point, it should probably
handle the load pretty well. Let me know if you notice slowdowns. [Shocked]

I'm also not noticing any slowdowns or performance issues when I'm connected out
on the internet (i.e. not locally to the system.) I suspect you might be having
an issue with your local Internet connection.

Speed increases with the cube root of power, assuming no changes in
prop efficiency, and no changes in drag. If the speed has gone up
5%, then the power has to increase by about 16%.
If the power went up in the same proportion as the increase in
displacement, the speed should go up about 2.7%.
How many folks have changed from a stock IO-360-A series to a stock
IO-390, and made no changes to prop or anything else at the same
time? Not many I bet. So I'm not convinced we really know how much
the speed increase is. There are enough differences from one RV to
another that we can't really compare one IO-360 powered RV against
another IO-390 powered RV and say that the speed differences are due
to the engine alone.

Don't fly through a hail storm and you should be fine. :-) Seriously, I'm from
Appleton and we maybe see a hail storm every few years. They are very isolated
and really not that common, but they are a great source of slightly damaged
new cars and revenue for body shops. Myth Busted.
Now nasty thunderstorms are completely different concern and we import them from
Kansas just for Airventure.

Chuck,
I've lived in the Midwest for most of my life and have never had a
vehicle damaged by hail. Yes, cars are made of steel and less prone to
damage. Still, there are many planes tied down at airports all over this
part of the country. The big hailstones that cause damage are very rare
and thousands of pilots return to OSH every year despite the perceived
risk. The one damaged plane I saw last year was an Eurcoupe owned by a
metal polish sales outfit. Their display had blown over onto the canopy.
Poor little airplane. I told the owner that his product might be good
but it wasn't that good.
There is a story that David Letterman as a television weather reporter
forecast "Hail the size of canned hams." He was soon asked to clean out
his desk.
Mecca? Well, there are some parallels. I never understood what the big
deal was with going to Oshkosh until I lived in Portland, OR for a
while. For a central Illinois resident it is only 300 miles and can be a
weekend trip. 2500 miles from a West coast state is a big deal. You'll
love the hot, humid July weather in Wisconsin. Maybe they'll even have a
thunderstorm for you.

Hi Jim,
The purpose of the new BBS interface is not to necessarily replace the existing
email system, but rather as an adjunct to it. The email lists aren't going away
anytime soon. The BBS is just another way to "view" the content generated
by the Lists.
Simply use the viewing option that best suits your needs.

It may only be 7 or so cubes per cylinder, but if you look at the total
displacement difference, the 390 is 8.3% bigger. Equate this to power and
your looking at almost 17 horses. In reality, the 390 doesn't make 217
horses, it makes right at 210. Many have been run on a good dyno (BPE in
Tulsa) and they do in fact make rated power, which is more than can be said
for the 200 horse rated 360.

Don't worry, Charlie. Email versions of the Matronics Lists are *not* going away.

You are exactly right. I can read email faster using my dialup

30-40 headers at a time instead of only a half dozen or so, & I don't

Matt,
Camp at OSH, show up early and become a volunteer, it will make your OSH
experience 1000 times better.
Ship stuff to EAA that you can't carry. Many do this.
Jim,
Big time sounds like induction leak, one that gets worse with heat, so crack
is expanding like a loose runner tube in the sump, or boot, or cyl end
gasket, or cracked runner tube inside the mount flange to cyl head that
opens when the cylinder gets longer.
Intake leaks are worse at idle for two reasons.
Delta P is much higher across leak at idle so leak will move more air.
Leak represents a larger portion of the total A/F mix at idle.
You might do checks when hot. Plug carb and exhaust, put #1 in valve overlap
and push in air with comp tester, use soapy water to find leak. I don't
recommend the carb cleaner trick. Prop damage to body parts and fire
potential aren't worth it.
But what hasn't been said is STOP FLYING THAT PLANE until you find the
problem and fix it. I know you wouldn't fly it if you suspected a problem
with the aileron controls, this is no different. If that sucker goes boom 14
seconds after takeoff you could be screwed.
Of all the reasons I don't like having to bury folks, flight testing a
broken airplane is on the top of the list.
As well, I'm fairly sure there's an FAA violation somewhere in that decision
making process. If not, I am certain they will be happy to make one up just
to accommodate the situtation.
Fuel flow could be the issue, but I don't know how that would change with
temperature. As long as pressure is good, and it works under one set of
conditions, it should still work under the other given equal pressures. But
it won't hurt to check flow, both warm and cold.
I doubt its ignition with two mags, and the fact that the plugs look OK and
it produces full power. The odds of them both failing in the same strange
way are fairly unlikely.
Also the fact that it produces full power OK means the engine and
compression are probably OK for now, but continued use under that kind of
leanness will do damage eventually.
Lastly, I don't want to say this one, but hopefully there are no metal
flakes in the oil. Main bearing failures do sometimes get odd when cold vs
hot, and at idle vs full power.
But again, this is very unlikely particularly with clean oil.
As usual, let us know what you find...

The Email Lists aren't going away. The new BBS interface is just another view
of the List content.
Regarding the font size on the BBS, make sure that your browser is set to "normal"
sized fonts.
On Internet Explorer, do this:
View->Text Size->Medium
Similar on other browsers. I think this will make the fonts look a lot more normal.
Best regards,
Matt

RV-List: Aeromedical, which is best
>>> From the list, you have posted: Virtual Flight Surgeons; Pilot Medical

successful if any, on fighting the FAA in getting Medical...
Appreciate comments if any of you had any luck with any of the above..is it
worth to pay the money they asked one over @1,000...for their service
what ever that means..<<<<
This is a FAA medical rant.
My experience with the FAA Medial branch is they are corrupt, dishonest and certainly
unwilling to follow there own regulations when it pleases them. Why
is it necessary for one to routinely need the assistance of APOA or EAA much less
pay a hired gun $1000 to present your case to the FAA. Why should my clinical
doctor need tutoring in the correct language to sent to the FAA, and why
should the honest evaluation and opinion of an examining physician require the
nuance to satisfy the Bring me a different colored rock mentality of the FAA.
Summary of my case:
20 years ago suffered documented mechanical damage to lungs, oxygenation at rest
not impaired.
3 years ago bypass surgery satisfactory recovery.
When unable to complete the 9 minutes required (5 min)of the Bruce protocol from
lung capacity on a hot August day at 7000 feet msl (think density altitude)
the FAA was consulted, and asked if the chemical stress test should be completed.
The FAA replied over the phone, with sufficient delay for a doctor consultation,
no the conditions would be factored in to the decision.
FAA denial, after episodes of lost records etc., and disallowance of the chemical
stress test
A subsequent stress test at 5000 msl was improved (6 min) but the 9 minutes were
not completed. The clinical physical evaluated the results were acceptable
for unlimited activity.
Another FAA denial citing the 9 minute requirement and disallowance of the chemical
stress test allowed by their own regulations.
I propose taking the 3rd class medical out of the hands of the FAA (maybe even
all classes). With a 100,000 case backlog this should be evidence enough of
the FAA incompetence, an inability to function and the lack of predictability
of illness are reasons to remove this from the FAA prevue. Privatetization,
if you will, is the answer to incompetent government.

Fear not, Chuck- my freshly-painted RV sat the entire week last year

(shhhh- tell NO glass-plane builder!): If bad WX forcast in next 24 hours, at
approach of dark, scatter several Pringles soaked with Jose Cuervo around your
chaise lounge. Wait til at least 200 P-38 sized mosquitos congregate on them,
then quickly slap a CAT baseball cap over each, trapping the bugs. Promising
them all a ride in your RV, break out the tiny tennis rackets in your camping
emergency kit and distribute to the skeeters, along with some roasted Planters
p'nuts to practice with under the hats. If frozen precip begins to fall, tell
them "NO RIDE if there's a SCRATCH on the paint!" Let 'em loose and get out
of the way.
Or pray, whichever floats yer boat. Personally, it's "que sera, sera"-
you'll feel MUCH better that you weren't alone...

Actually the trick is to use hail to your advantage. Think about a golf
ball. All those dimples make the ball fly straighter and faster. The only
hard part is getting the hail to hit just right. :-)

| Subject: | AFP mixture cable length |
--> RV-List message posted by: sarg314 <sarg314@comcast.net>
I spent an embarassingly long amount of time trying to figure out where
the mixture cable (for AFP) should penetrate the firewall and how long
it should be (for RV-6A with IO360). I used my heater cable control to
estimate it. I came up with a length of about 45" or 45.5" . I notice
that Van's mixture cable for a carburator is listed as 45", which is
encouraging.
Can some one with an AFP unit confirm for me that 45" is a reasonable
length for the mixture cable? If you bought the Van's cable, did you
end up thinking it should have been a little longer or shorter?
Thanks,

About hail damage to the wings...
Shortly before I arrived at Laughlin AFB, Del Rio, Texas in 1965, there had
been a significant hail storm. Many of the cars around town had dimpled tops
many house roofs had been badly damaged.
And then there was the fleet of T-38's at the base. We had padded wing
covers, but as I remember the story, someone had decided they wouldn't be
required this time. Consequently many of those thin little stubby honeycomb
wings were badly dimpled. After much knashing of teeth and pulling of hair,
(and assigning of blame, I'm sure) they decided to fly one and found it
didn't seem to affect the flying qualities, so they got on with the business
of training pilots for Vietnam.
That's the way I remember the story. I don't remember anything about the
T-37 fleet being damaged (or not) by the hail.

Was making the 909 (?) shims for the HS.
Snips are not precise enough for stock this thick.
Die grinder with a cutoff wheel worked Ok, but spun badly a couple times. I
did one this way and one with the good 'ole hacksaw. Which might be the best
method.
I think these parts are too small for a bandway as well even if I had one that
cuts Al well, which I don't.
Just wondering if there were any suggestions for future parts of this type.

Mark,
Me thinks the Jose Cuervo sprinkling session had some serious lasting side
effects other than just tricking skeeter bugs into having a hail of a time
playing mini tennis.
Boy oh boy! I sure hope we get the down wind spot next to you we we get to
Osh. with our freshly painted 6a.
Hmmm,.... paint fumes, Pringles, Jose Cuervo?! ....Maybe I better not. But
there is something about those damn pringles isn't there?.
Soft landings to ya Mark {[;-),

--> RV-List message posted by: MLWynn@aol.com
I experimented with a couple of different things. For flat stock, a
non-ferrous blade in a table saw makes really nice, straight, smooth cuts. If
the
stock is irregular or bent, be really careful. I got a nice kickback that sliced
up a hand pretty well. I have also used a band saw with a metal cutting
blade. That works great but you need to set up a fence to keep the cuts straight.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Ed Holyoke" <bicyclop@pacbell.net>
Paul,
I use an angle die grinder with cutoff wheel for most all sheet stock
cutting. Clamp the work to the edge of the bench with quick clamps or in
a vice. Cleco side grip clamps are good for small stuff. You could use
them to clamp to another piece of stock which is itself clamped slightly
overhanging the edge of the bench. You could clamp a piece of angle in a
vice and side grip your stock to that. Another way to clamp small stock
to the edge of a bench is to hold it down with a small piece of thin
plywood (or something similar) with a drywall screw run into the bench.
Once the stock is immobilized, steady your cutting hand(s) with a finger
running along the bench as you cut.
Pax,
Ed Holyoke

Subject: Re: RV-List: Best way to cut .040 stock
I cut from .020" to .125" aluminum sheet as well as aluminum angle stock to
.250 " using a band saw with a fine tooth plywood veneer blade. A power
hacksaw worked also but the aluminum is soft enough that the veneer blade
cut faster and actually better so I stopped using it in favor of the
bandsaw. The cut is then finished with a small belt sander to remove the
blade marks and polished smooth with a scotchbrite wheel.
