Interesting set up indeed! I have been using a simular process, only I use a Heat
gun which puts out about 3 times the heat, and poke it in same place, takes
just a few min and can feel the warm air comming out the front. Charlie H

Hair dryers and heat guns do work but I use a completely different
system that requires no electricity & is instantly available with no
pre-heating....
I live in California. Today's projected high 84 degrees. I'm thinking of
adding an air conditioner to my 6A!

Yeah, it gets pretty darn toasty here in TN, too, especially under a sunny
tip-up! I liked the AC idea also- all I'm missing is the
compressor/evaporator/condensor & environmentally responsible freon 8-)

I may have missed some pertinent messages, but I wanted to be sure that the RV-List
members knew about a group buy from Hooker Harnesses. This was put together
by Wade Lively (an RV-8 builder) over on Doug Reeves VAF site.
http://www.vansairforce.net/
On the left side of the VAF Home Page, go down to 'Today's Posts' under the FORUMS
section, and pull up the thread titled "Group Discount on 5-Point Hooker Harnesses'
to get all the information.
The pricing is very attractive. The offer is strictly limited to RV/Rocket owners
and builders.
The deadline for responding to Wade is Noon Feb 18. Be sure and read the whole
thread to make sure you are receiving the latest information.

Mark,
I thought I was cheap, but you got me there. We used to use 2 100W trouble
lites stuffed inside the cowling on all the time winters in OR, and they keep
temp right at 60+. Don't use the ones with the plastic guard, however, they
DO melt... This winter I had an extra oil-filled radiator not using, so
planted that baby on a shop creeper, and the height works out perfectly, easy
to
roll in and out of just behind the ex pipes. At the lowest setting it's using
about 300W and keeps inside cowling toasty with a blanket on top. No waiting
for warmup when flying time arrives, either... I do feel bad about the the
$300/mo hangar having to absorb the power bill...

| Subject: | Operating angle - RV6 Electric Trim |
--> RV-List message posted by: Jan <jan@claver.demon.co.uk>
Hi,
If I understand all the different things I have read about the Electric Trim
kit for the RV6 ... The operating angles are less due to the limited travel
by the MAC 8A servo ... I am currently busy laying it all out... So before I
commit myself to the installation ...
I would like to hear first hand from anyone who does fly with the electric
trim kit (with the servo in the elevator) ... What angles are needed to
operate safely ??
When you did cut the hole in the spar for the rod at the back of the servo
...You must have got quite close to one of the rivets used to secure the
elevator horn to the spar ... How close ??
Appreciate any feedback on this.
Jan

I thought the RV's already had AC, just open the vents, open the
throttle, and pull back on the stick for 10 min or so and it should
start to cool off just fine :)

Jan,
I have the MAC 8A servo in the elevator and don't remember having any
problems with the installation. It works as advertised. I have not had
any troubles with it at all and have never run out of trim authority.
It's an RV6 with O-360 and Hartzell CS, which moves the CG forward and
will affect the trim.
