(engine pre-heat) --> RV-List message posted by: "charles heathco" 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.

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.

(engine pre-heat) --> RV-List message posted by: Jerry2DT@aol.com 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... Jerry ... in sunny Oregon Subject: RV-List: How cheep can we get?

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.

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. Dave -6 So Cal (85 deg today, no preheaters here!)
