Yes I agree that Hooker is great. However I can see the problem ACS has,
if it is not in stock then they have to order it, not good for us. On the
other hand I have ordered stuff from Van's and had to wait over six months
to get it (aerobatic motor mounts).
Sunday night I ordered some parts from ACS and I received them Wedensday
USPS. I don't know how they could get much quicker, unless I paid the
overnight freight. Last order from Van's was 10 days, which is
significantly faster than the 17 days when I was building.
I ordered my intercom from Stark Avionics, and had him make the wiring
harness for my radios. Of course custom building a wiring harness takes
some time. I wired the rest of my aircraft, but I am sure glad I had the
intercom harness built by someone else.

David,
Just rivet it up with 4-4s. Work carefully and you will be fine. I have
a second hand RV-7 empanage kit and the whole Vertical stab was drilled
with #30. I took my time and only had to drill out a couple.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Steve Struyk" <rv8striker@hotmail.com>
Anybody have any ideas about what's going on? My avionics have worked like a charm
until about two flight hours ago. The side tone on my SL-30 went from normal,
to incredibly loud. It still transmits and receives well, but the side tone
is so loud, it's uncomfortable. It's installed as the second Nav/Com, number
one is a 300XL, it works great.

A new builder myself, I have found it very useful to read through the steps several
times before committing a drill to anything. Analyzing the drawings over
and over as well. As a rule of thumb, skin attachments are USUALLY drilled to
#40 (unless otherwise specified). If you are not 100% sure about something, re-read
the step while looking closely at the plans over and over until you convince
yourself that you ARE 100% sure what you are about to do is correct. If you
still are not sure, ask for help BEFORE drilling. It will save you time and
$ later on down the line.

It's adjustable via the system menus (the manual covers it). Try adjusting
it first, but if you have to crank it way down, like below 20, you might
have an audio panel issue (assuming you have an audio panel).

In this location, however, many people (myself included) opted to put the
factory head on the stiffener side, since it's the side that will be
visible (sort of) when the airplane is complete. The reason for putting
the factory head on the thinner side is that when you form the shop head,
you're more likely to stretch/deform the thinner material. In this case,
it seems the thinner material doesn't stretch significantly when setting
the rivet on that side. So the joint is equally strong either way.
The builder's manual for my -7 says that while the norm is to put the
factory head on the thinner material side, there have been no problems with
putting the factory head on the thicker material side in this location.

There are already lots of opinions and answers for the questions you bring
up in your post below. I suggest you check the archives and get the best
thought of hundreds who have gone before you. If after doing that you still
have questions, I am sure you will get lots of answers if any questions
still remain. http://www.matronics.com/search/

My read is that he wants concise writeups on those subjects for all to
use, not advice on random subjects for himself. The wiki will be much
more useful than this list for 'how-to' questions, because a searcher
won't have to wade through literally 10's of thousands of messages to
find an answer. Even using the search engine on the list, you still must
read through dozens or even hundreds of 'me too', 'I agree', posts
written about totally different subjects but with the wrong subject
line, etc to get an answer.
Wiki's are great tools once they are populated with data. Go prowl
around Wikipedia & pick just about any subject of interest to see how
useful they can be.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
For instance, here's the entry for Van's Aircraft:
