Remember, we have had nearly 100 RV's each of the past two years. This makes this flyin one off the years largest RV get together flyins. If any of you vendors would like to be included on the door prize list, let me know off list and I'll issue gift certificates. Please, no 10% off deals. If you have an item we can gift away at the end of the flyin to the ever growing RV community I'll do that but as I have said this is a free flyin so I don't want any attendees to have to buy something to get a door prize. I post a thanks on this list, the yahoo list and vansairforce list along with recognizing contributors on Van's RVator. If you can help us out I would certainly appreciate it. cell 859 625-2844 home 859 369-7582 email bo124rs AT hotmail.com Dana Overall Richmond, KY i39 RV-7 slider, Imron black, "Black Magic" do not archive http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:25:59 AM PST US From: "Stephen J.

Steve Soule RV-6A N227RV ~390 hours -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Doug Weiler Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 8:15 PM Subject: Re: RV-List: Seeping fuel tank rivet --> RV-List message posted by: Doug Weiler I had a similar problem on my RV-4. The seeping rivet was on the bottom. My solution was to drain the tank, drill out the bad rivet and replace with one of Van's sealed blind rivets with a dab of proseal on it just before installation. No seeping after 2 years and 250 hours. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:48:11 AM PST US From: SCOTT SPENCER Subject: RV-List: Remember Von Alexander? --> RV-List message posted by: SCOTT SPENCER I remember your father from earlier days on the list. Never met him as I was here in Indiana many miles away. I was rebuilding an RV-4 at the time and always respected his comments on the list. He seemed like such a cool guy. Truly. Always very positive... After his (still unbelieveable) accident a lot of us took extra care in examining our planes for safety issues, thinking that if it could happen to Von then it could surely happen to any of us. He seemed very careful. I still think of installing a fire supression system to this day because of him and that accident, and a friend and I were looking to market one to the experimental ranks until my friend passed away too (but not in an aircraft fire). You know, I think I will go ahead with that installation. I was concerned with the roughly 8 pounds of weight it would add -seems trivial when compared to being on fire. For those of you who don't know about all of this -look in the archives.

I had the same problem - 2 rivets on the bottom of the tank about mid span. I drained the tank, drilled out the offending rivets, cleaned around the dimple with scotch brite and acetone, buttered up 2 blind pop rivets ( the kind used on the rear bulkhead of the tank) with pro seal and installed them. Voila - no leaks! I didn't bother to repaint them because I'm not that fussy, but you could touch them up with some color-matched touch up paint if you were. The idea of vacuum and thinned proseal is ok if you catch it before paint but is still iffy. My method is fuel proof (pun intended).

I didn't find it until theaircraft was painted and it showed up as asmall blue spot at the edge of the rivet. Here are the steps I took.=0D=0A=0D=0A1. Empty the fuel tnk=0D=0A2. Remove paint and anything else from the application area. For this I used a spot shaver, though the tip of a small round grinding bit in a Dremel would probably also work.=0D=0A2. Apply a slight vacuum to the tank. This was accomplished by attaching the intake hose from one of those manual plastic fuel pumps available at auto parts stores (about $12). I attached the hose directly over the fuel vent. I only put enough vacuum so that I could hear a slight hissing sound when I depressed the fuel drain vent.=0D=0A3. Apply a drop or two of Loctite 294. This is a version of the threadlocker that has wicking ability. It is designed, among other things, to eliminate porosity in assembled bolts. You can find the data sheet at http://tds.loctite.com/tds5/docs/294-EN.pdf#search=3D'loctite%20green%20sealant' I purchased mine at a local bolt shop, but it is available online for about $12 a bottle.=0D=0A=0D=0AThat's it.

Then using the punch I tapped into the rivet to the point where the shop portion of the rivet fell out (into the tank). Granted now that small part was in the tank and it actually stayed there for quite some time. Later, I had to remove this tank anyway because of a leaking root cover and that little piece was still there just laying in the bottom inboard part of the tank. I then removed it. I suppose that might have been the downside to this method, but no harm done.

So I apologize if I send it twice. I am going to start building an RV-8 in my dads memory this summer.It is going to be a "Memorial Plane." It will be dedicated to any Rv pilots that have died doing what they love. All of their names and tail numbers will be airbrushed somewhere on the plane as well as those who have donated their help, tools or money no matter how large or small will all get thier names airbrushed on the plane. In order to pay for this, my family and I will be holding various fund raising events. For instance, we have started to put together custom flight suits with your tail number, type of rv, piolts name and the date of your first flight all embrordered on them. The proceedes will go towards the memorial plane. Please let me know what you guys think about this idea and if you can make it to the Fly-In on July 1st. You are more than welcome to email me at N41VA@blazemail.com or justreply to this message.I look forward to hearing your feedback, thank you. Kelby ALexander Fight the power!

Until a computer crash where I lost some old emails, I had saved a few emails that we exchanged off list about various topics. His responses were well thought out, and you can tell he takes the time to write emails, and did his best to help out others. Never got to see the airplane, but remember the day he passed like it was yesterday. I think the memorial plane is a great idea. I find it admirable that you would build another plane in his memory, even though it was involved in his passing. I'm sure you'll have no problem getting help with that one. The RV community will most definately be involved during and after the construction process. Best of luck with the project.

I had a few VERY good ideas given to me (thanks John Jessen). First off, I am going to focus not on the fact that these pilots have passesd away doing what they love. But I am going to focus on the love they had for flying and especially the love they had for RV's. So here is the plan: 1. The plane will be built entirely on donations, and money raised thru various fund raising events. 2. The plane WILL NOT BE MY PERSONAL PLANE and I will not profit from it in any way form or shape. 3. Every detail on the plane will be a community effort, paint scheme and colors, interior, everything will be ran thru this RV list and those who have donated whatever they can, small or large. 4. When it is finished, it will immediatly be donated to the EAA and be flown from one chapter to the next. So this would be an EAA plane when it is finished. 5. It will be built to give the gift of flight to those who do not of access to a plane. (I grew up in the back of an RV and those are my best memories). 6. Instead of having the names of the pilots we have lost, the plane will travel with a book with every RV-ers flight stories, experiences and advice to Young Eagles. And as it travels around it will gain more and more experiences and stories. I mentioned one way this will be paid for are Custom Flight Suits that my family and I are making, I have had good interest in them so far. They will have your name embrordered on the left chest, the date of your first flight and the model (RV-6-8-9 etc..) on the right hand sideand your tail number on the back.We can also put 2 patches from Vans, and if you wish aLycoming patch as well.They will be VERY nice and very high quality. they can come in Navy Blue, Kahki, Olive Green or Black with any color of embrodery. Each one will cost my family and I $90.00 so anything over $90 will go towards the cost of the plane. Please email me if you would like to order one for you or a friend. The $90.00 includes shipping. So I really hope this idea gets a good response. Please let me know what you guys think and give me your ideas and feedback. And like I said this will be paid for by donations. So email me if you would like to donate towards this project, I have a SEPERATE bank account set up and SEPERATE pay-pal account set up for this. I will keep you guys up to date on the progress, but our first step is a set of tools (That will be donated to The Young Eagles as well) I figure between $1,200-$1,500. Then we will purchase the tail kit, as soon......So email me if you would like to donate, not only money buttools, avionics, radios, a hanger spaceto build it in. Even something as small as a little bag of rivets would be greatly appreciated. Thank you guys very much for your time. Fight the power!

His positive attitude was neat. We only talked for a few minutes (you know fly-ins) but I remember him being real "get it finished, you'll love it". I think yours had the chromed canopy bow and the quality of the airplane was unreal. I saw it at the Scappoose flyin. Can't believe it's been that long. I actually firesleeved all my hoses in my -8 thinking about your dad. I have an inverted oil tank so making all those hoses fit was a chore. We lived in Newberg, but moved to Atlanta a year ago. Our son is your age and I remember thinking that I wished he was as interested in the work as you are. You can be sure lots of guys remember your dad. Be sensitive to your mom's wishes as you pursue your flying dream. Put the dates for the flyin on the list. If mine is finished (still in Newberg) we will be there. Gunning for this Oshkosh. Good Wishes, John Porter #80002 Fight the power!
