--> RV-List message posted by: "Randall Richter" <richterrbb@earthlink.net>
I wonder what component of sunlight fades the anodizing? If it's the UV
range, is there a "clear powder coat" that's UV-opaque? Something like that
might provide at least partial protection from fading.
Anyone have any ideas on this?

I talked with an anodizing company today. They were well aware of
the tendency of sunlight to fade the dies. They said that if I request
it they could use an "architectural dye" which is much more stable.
Apparently anodized colored aluminum is being used in architecture
nowadays for decorative purposes. I think the architectural dye is much
more resistant to fading, but probably not completely resistant. The
sun is relentless.
They suggested that a further protection would be to have the thing
clear powder coated after it was anodized and laser engraved. I didn't
even know there was such a thing as clear powder coat. Another
suggestion was spray-on Krylon urethane clear coat. Since the plane
will be hangared (assuming I can ever find a hangar in this town), the
exposure to sunlight will be only during flying or parking at a distant
airport. So, I'm leaning towards going ahead with this.

Sorry to need to post this again. I had several replies in my inbox
this morning when I logged on. However, my spam filter zapped them
right before my eyes as it booted up. I had just enough time to see
them, but not enough time to see who they were from. DOH!
I have turned the spam filter off and hope that those who replied

Listers -
I'm scheduled to PCS this summer. Early indications are that I'll be moving
to the Florida pan handle, Eglin AFB / Hurlburt AAF area, June or July. Are
there any small flying communities in the area?
Thank you...

| Subject: | Replacement 4MB Memory Card for Garmin GX-50/55/60/65 GPS |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Lockamy, Jack L" <jack.lockamy@navy.mil>
The Jeppesen North Americas GPS database download using the Skybound II card reader/writer
recently exceeded the 2MB capacity of the original memory cards used
in the Garmin AT (was Apollo UPSAT) GX-50/55/60/65 panel-mounted IFR GPS units.
Jeppesen and Garmin initially offered to replace the 2MB cards with 4MB cards for
FREE (purchase new 4MB card for approx. $150, send back the old 2MB card, and
receive a full refund of the 4MB card purchase price). However, by the time
I experienced a problem with my GX-50 card data download exceeding the 2MB memory
size, Jeppesen informed me Garmin was no longer offering a free replacement
card. You had to purchase a new card if you wanted to download the updated
Jeppesen database. This didn't sit well with me....why change the policy after
giving free 4MB cards to some for a couple of months and now charge me (and
others) full price with NO refund or discount!!!
I did some research and discovered the same data card, or at least a card that
is similar and WORKS, for the above mentioned Garmin panel-mounted GPSs could
be purchased for only $32 and included FREE shipping!
Here's the info: The PCMCIA 4MB Linear Data Flash card(s) are manufactured by SMART Modular Technologies (p/n SM9FA2048IP320C). I found the two cards I purchased at www.memorydealers.com. (see http://www.memorydealers.com/4mbcis36serf.html). MemoryDealers's part number is: MEM3600-4FC. These are the same cards used in the Cisco 3620, 3640, 3660, 3661 and 3662 routers. You can find these routers (with the MEM3600-4FC cards installed) on Ebay for as little as $9.99. Just make sure the memory card included with the router(s) uses the same SMT number above. Also, not all PCMCIA cards are alike. The only card type that will work is a PCMCIA 4MB Type 1 Series 2 LINEAR Flash Card. If you use the part numbers shown above you will get the right card... I ordered my cards online from MemoryDealers.com and had them in 2-days via FEDEX!
You will still need the Skybound II USB card reader/writer (approx. $150 from Jeppesen)
but you now have an option of purchasing replacements or a second card
for as little as $32, instead of $150!
Hope this helps,

The dye is what fades.
You anodize first, then you dye the coating (just like dyeing cloth)
then you optionally seal the surface. There are more fade resistant dyes
you can select if you pay a bit extra.
Here is a link: <http://www.focuser.com/anodize.html> I've used this
exact kit and it works great. It is fun and easy to do.
I don't see much point in clear powder coating or clear lacquer. If you
are going to paint it, then skip the anodizing, just Alodine it and
paint it.

Jack, I wonder if us Guys with Garmin 430's have another option for a Memory
Card? I would like to have a spare card but don't wish to spend the big
bucks Jeppesen wants for one.
Already download my updates.

Dana,
You need a MSA-4.5 This is the correct carb for a parallel valve O-360 with vertical
induction. The MSA-4 is for O-320s. I've never heard of an AR or AK-6.
I think you mean an HA-6. Those are horizontal induction carbs for the O-360s
which use them (O-360-A4K used on Grummans is an example)

I had this same issue in updating my GX-65 card this month. The solution is
that Jepp has a database available that excludes South America and thus will
load on the small 2MB card. It is their database DGAT1453. $115 for a one
time download.

Bill:
The clear poweder coat or Krylon is to further protect it from
sunlight. Apparently this is done on after market aluminum car parts.

| Subject: | Minimum altitude to return to airport |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Todd Bartrim" <bartrim@gmail.com>
I've been resisting the urge to make a reply as I don't have the time to do
much more than lurk these days, but here goes....
I really appreciate the info and discussion on this topic as I too believe
there are no absolutes in this decision making process. I did most of my
flight training in my own RV9 with a good friend of mine as instructor. He
initially endlessly drilled into my head to always land straight ahead in
event of power failure on T/O, but as training progressed he began to throw
a few extra scenarios at me. The terrain in northern BC demands it. One
little grass strip that we practiced on has a deep ravine at the end of the
runway. Enough altitude and you can turn back or make it to the other side.
Not enough and your best hope was to turn and try to crash along the bottom.
Not very appealing.
But allot of thought has gone into a particular strip that I used to fly
out of (as a pax), when I was a hunting guide. 2000' grass with mountains on
3 sides and a glacial fed lake on the end. You always had to T/O over the
lake regardless of wind direction. This lake is very remote so possibility
of rescue from boaters is almost non-existent in case of a water landing.
Help from anywhere out there is unlikely. (kinda like in the movie "The
Edge"... lotsa grizz too!) Every trip I ever had out of there was in a fully
loaded C172 that seemed to use every available inch of runway before we
would struggle out over the lake for a few miles until we gained enough
altitude to safely fly through a mountain pass. Turning back there was
certainly not an option but all other alternatives were also extremely grim.
Fortunately it has never been an issue.
Time has been at a premium these last few years, preventing me from
returning there but as I'm currently just finishing up my 5th and final year
of tech school I expect to soon be resuming some of these activities, but
this time with my own plane. As my RV9 has far greater climb rate and uses
far less runway, I expect to have more options in case of emergency.
Everytime I fly out of there I will be expecting that engine to fail and
will include in my preflight the exact min. altitude required for a 180 back
to the strip or as close to it as possible.
If I keep my plane in top mechanical shape then hopefully it will never
happen, but it is an experimental plane with an experimental engine, so by
keeping myself in top physical and mental condition then god willing, I will
have the strength and skill to accomplish something that I would never do at
that perfect airport with a farmers field at the end of each runway (kinda
like my home field :-).
I have limited flight experience so I don't like to disagree with
experienced voices such as Doug, but I feel that everyone that fly's in
areas of rugged terrain should be aware of exactly how much altitude they
require to make a 180 and be mentally prepared for it at all times to reduce
the "oh s***" time lag, and the judgment to recognize that a straight in
approach is still better for most cases. But it's not absolute.
