Both pilots can indeed log the time PIC (only when under the hood) if the safety
pilot agrees to be the acting pilot in command. Done it many, many times building
those multi PIC hours back when I was pursuing the flying career dream.
Some may scoff at the concept, but it's very legal and no different than taking
advantage of an allowable tax deduction.

Ok fellow builders, I have had several inquiries about whether or not I would discount
my pitot tube kits for a group buy. Since I am currently participating
in the Hooker harness group buy I can hardly say no. So heres the deal...I will
discount the kit by 25% for a group buy of 10 or more, limited to the stock
on hand. Anybody interested should just call or email me directly and add your
name to the list. As soon as I hit the 10 mark I will ship them out. Those interested
can have a look at the kits at the following link:

--> RV-List message posted by: "Kevin Shannon" <kshannon@seanet.com>
Jack,
This same scenario happened to me in my 9A a few years ago, the culprit was
the 60 amp inline fuse for the alternator I bought from the aeroelectric
connection guys, turned out it was bad internally and made intermittent
contact so I replaced it with a regular aviation quality breaker. If you
have a similar type fuse in your alternator B lead I would look there first.
Kevin Shannon
I flew into Las Cruces, NM from Camarillo, CA today on a business trip with
my RV-7A and experienced an electrical system failure 30 minutes prior to
reaching the field. My internally-regulated Van's 60 AMP alternator went to
"0" Amps and I Immediately started shedding electrical loads.
Then, while in the pattern here at Las Cruces turning from downwind to
final, the alternator started showing a charge again!
I suspect a loose connection somewhere (was really bumpy today at 9500' MSL
from 200 miles east of LRU to the field...) but I need an OHM meter and an
extra pair of eyes would be nice to do some trouble-shooting before I
attempt my trip home this Friday.
If anyone in the Las Cruces area has an OHM meter I could borrow I would be
most appreciative. The meter is something I will definitely add to my
travel/emergency bag before the next trip!
Thanks in advance,

--> RV-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com>
At one point on a list I had a reply from someone who
actually was using the GDC34A Arinc to serial converter
like I am to get TIS traffic on their Chelton or other
EFIS from the GTX330 Transponder.
Right now that's my last remaining thing to debug that
I've identified, and I'm hoping to talk to someone
who's got it working to verify settings.
Anyone out there with that equipment that can comment?

You are right.
It is pushing 1 yr now since I did my elec. system planning and details
are getting fuzzy. I should have taken better notes. It was prelim,
and I knew I'd revisit everything.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Dana Overall" <bo124rs@hotmail.com>
OK, gang I've obviously been checking the weather for this Saturday's i39
Kickoff Flyin Richmond, Madison Kentucky. I'll not go into the vast details
of the scheduled forums, vendor sales, high dollar colas.............oh,
sorry we don't have any of that:-) Pushed 100 RV's the past two years. We
are only good at ramp lies so crank em up, practice those lies and kick off
the season. I feel the need, the need for speed!!
Now remember, we have been wet here lately so the grass on each side of the
taxiway has some soft spots. Off blacktop parking is all on your own, shut
em off and push em back, best I can do. If you get in early enough to park
on the ramp, be sure and watch carefully. Park your ride as close as you
can to the airplane beside you, again be very careful we all want to
continue our no incident record. Remember, you are in command but don't
dilly dally around, get them off the runway as we will continuously hear,
"flight of five inbound for the initial", "flight of two behind the flight
of five", "single behind the two with the five and two in sight". You get
the drift, be courteous, be direct, be safe, we are all out here to have fun
but it is serious with this many high performance airplanes in uncontrolled
airspace. The weather is looking better today for Saturday that yesterday,
temps in the mid 50's with winds out of th WSW at 12. Madison has 18/36.
Can you tell, Elaine and I are getting pumped!!

Doesn't the quick build wing have one skin still off? It used to be that
way. If one is off, you should be able to put in this pitot tube easy
enough.

Sure, no problem. If the bottom skins are not in place it will not be a big
challenge. Even if they are it has been done a few times. The only difficult
part would be if the standard pitot location has been drilled...then you
have a hole to fill. The quick build should not have this drilled out. The
issue is that you do not want to have a pitot line interfering with the
aileron bellcrank. The pitot per plans is in the same bay as the
bellcrank....any other option needs to be moved. If you are not sure about
your wing then please give me a call or email so we can work it out.

--> RV-List message posted by: kelby alexander <n41va@blazemail.com>
Hey guys, I was just wondering if you guys remember Von Alexander. He died in the
Rv-8 that me (his son) and him built. It crashed in July of 1999 on its way
home from the Arlington Airshow. I know he really LOVED this list and the help
that everybody gave him. If you remember him, I would love to hear your thoughts
about him and our RV-8 if you had a chance to see it.
Also I had another idea that I wanted your guy's feedback on. I thought about having
a "Fly in Lunch" at the Independence Oregon Airport in memory of my dad.
Maybe around the 10th of July (when the accident occured). Would anybody be up
to flying their rv's and join in on it? Just a thought.
THANKS!

Hi Kelby,
I remember with fondness your Dad's enthusiasm for his RV-8 and his
eagerness to associate with this list. I was building my RV-6 while your
-8 was coming together and recall many of the construction issues we all
worked through at that time. I never had an opportunity to see your
plane since we live on opposite sides of the country, but the RV-8 photo
was on my website for several years.
I hope the years since the accident have enhanced the great memories you
have of your father and the project you shared. I wish you and your
family the very best.
Sam Buchanan

I remember Von. I offered to pick him up in Green Bay and get him to
Oshkosh one year....obviously before he had the 8 done.
He was always very helpful on the RV list, which was much appreciated.
A flyin in his memory sure sounds like a great idea. I am sure the guys out
on the left coast will be interested.

=======================================
Kelby-
I didn't know your dad personally, but knew of him and also his tragic
misfortune. I think of him when I run over the few RV mishaps in my mind from
time to time. The loss of every RV pilot hits very close to home.
Flying RV's is so much fun that we often forget that it can also be
dangerous when something goes wrong. I won't be in you area in July, but send
all of
my good wishes to you and your family.

Hello Kelby,
Of course I remember your Dad, although I had just met him at the Scappoose
fly-in a month or so before his accident. I also remember him well from this
RV list. If you haven't already, to the Matronics website (see the bottom of
any RV list message, including this one) and search with your Dad's name. It
will bring back memories of the questions and thoughts he had while you and
he were building. And it reminds me, at least, of the fine man that he was.
Of course you know that, but you should know that many of us who knew him or
only or primarily through the list know that too.
Your idea of a fly-in lunch sounds like a good one, but I STILL won't be
flying by then.
Thanks for checking back in on the RV list.
Terry

This one will bring out the graybeards! I too was building my old slow RV6
at the time. Von was a super asset to this list and many of us communicated
with him regularly. Terrible tragedy that anyone who was around then soon
won't forget. Never had the good fortune to meet him in person, but then
like a lot of people on this list you get to know them. I still remember
the post from your sister (I think?) posting on the list with Von's email
keeping us all as informed as possible.
I'm too far away, but wish I could make it. I know your -8 was a nice one.
Won a trophy or two right?

Hi Kelby,
I met your dad at the Twin Oaks flyin breakfast and had some good
conversations with him. He was a fine person and
I think of him often and the great loss we all experienced. The day he
left Arlington he came over to where my wife and
I were camped with our RV-6 to say good bye, little did we realize it
would be the last good bye. It is hard to believe
that happened in 1999 it still seems like yesterday. If a fly in event
in your dads memory becomes a reality I would love to attend.
I see that July 10th is a Monday so would probably be difficult for
working people to attend and the week before that is the
Arlington fly in. Maybe you could contact the local EAA 105 and builders
group and do something at the Arlington flyin.
I know the local builders group always has some type of get together there.

I need to source a replacement canopy for an RV7. I've just taken over a quick
build project and the original builder has made such a bodge job that I need to
start again. I'll be ordering the metal parts from Vans but I seem to recall
a thread about a year back on a less expensive source for the plexey. I've tried
looking in the archives without success. Can anyone point me in the right
direction?

Wow thats hard to think about isnt it? You know that was pretty much the only time
in 16 years I didnt fly with my dad. I woke up that morning with an invitation
to go surfing or go with my dad to Arlignton. I decided without a doubt to
go to the airshow but my dad wouldnt let me, he told me I would be too hot in
the back of the -8. So he made me go surfing but he promised on his way home
he would do a couple fly by's at the beach we were at. When he never came over,
I knew something was wrong.
Having something for him at Arlington is a great idea, or even a "fly in" in June
would be great. I just want to make sure that we can have a good turn out.
Im am going to be starting an RV-8 of my own (as soon as I save up the money,
hopefully this summer) in his memory. So if anybody has any old tools they would
like to donate or sell me or a portion of a hanger to work in ( I will be in
the Salem Oregon area) Please drop me an email. I hope to be able to start on
the tail kit in a few months. I am 23 so money isnt easy to come by, but I think
I can do it over time. So be prepared for a TON of questions. I am going
to dedicate it to my Father and every other RV pilot that we have lost over the
years. I will keep in touch with you guys about a fly in, if you all would be
up to it!?
Thanks for your time and kind words, its so nice to know my Dad had a good reputation
with you guys and I hope I can follow in his footsteps and be friends with
you guys as well. He ALWAYS had only good things to say about this list. And
when it was midnight and we were totally stuck on something, he would always
say, forget it tonight, Ill just ask the guys on the RV list, they will know
the answer. I look forward to meeting as many of you guys as possible over the
years.
