Very impressive. That video helps you understand why the
a380 costs almost 300 million dollars.

--> RV-List message posted by: John DeCuir <jadecuir@comcast.net>
I need some advice from other un-muffled RV owners who fly in and out
of TOA. I'm heading south for the Halibut Derby, and would like to park
at TOA for a couple of nights while fishing. I heard that you can get
fined for exceeding noise limits, but I was unable to find out how much
it might cost if caught. I'm sure it's more than I want to pay. Anyway,
My RV-4 has an O-320 with Vetterman's crossover system, and it's very
loud. How do I get out of TOA without getting cited? Should I full
power climb over the airport as steeply as possible, then pull it back
by the boundary? Where are the sensors?

Does anyone have the Van's filtered airbox laying around that they could measure?
I would like to know the length/width/height of the box and the general diameter
of the box as well. I am trying to determine if it will fit within the
scoop area of my SJ Cowl.
I 'd like the dimensions for an O-320 Carb version and for the O-360 Carb version.

I am thinking about engine change. Mine has "official" 2200hrs due to logs being
reconstructed many years ago and I think thats unrealistly high. Jugs have
about 800 truly loged. engine has absoluly no oil leaks, uses about 1 qt in 10/12
hrs, nothing sig in oil filt at my 25 hr changes,and runs like a top. good
comp last Jul at cond insp by A&P. This A&P is also IA and RV-4 man. He thought
I should OH or change out engine since its over TBO. I know of engines running
far beyond TBO, and also take particular note about all the 0-360s crank AD,
many Im sure with relativly low time.( My engine is 0-320E2A.) As I recall,
orig builder that I bought it from, let the engine sit coupls years without running,
and knew the history. Anyone have experience with this quandry? Im pretty
much a "if it works dont fix it" kind of guy, but dont want to end up a statistic
with the report reading, Ran the engine beyond TBO. 2nd part- If you
opted to change, would you condider one of the salvage engines from huricane
damage plane with good logs? Oh this engine? buy Rebuilt? Spend the $20k on
the new Exp engine? Charlie Heathco

Listers,
Has anyone connected their Van's capacitance probes to the Dynon EIS via the capacitance
converters from Blue Mountain? I'm looking for capacitance to voltage
converters that output 0-5 vDC and I'm wondering if the BMA units will work.

Charlie:
Sounds like you have a bang up engine. The only real problem we see
with running the engine past TBO is that the longer you run it the more
wear occurs on critical components and the more your overhaul might
cost. I wouldn't buy a core with an unknown history for o'h or
exchange. The core you have sounds like an excellent candidate for
overhaul, and that would be our recommendation. You won't really know
what the condition of the internal components are until the engine is in
teardown, but if your cases, crank and cam are repairable, you are
making a good investment in going with a quality overhaul shop.
Make sure that the engine will be built to Factory New Limits and that
all SBs and ADs are in compliance.
Good luck!

--> RV-List message posted by: windsaloft@rmisp.com
We've been flying the RV for a few years now, and today in the hangar I
stumbled upon...........the ol' squeezer! I had no idea I still had this.
CP-214 Original Chicago Tools Squeezer. It has the quick change pins and
a C-Yoke with a 1.25" opening 1.5" deep and accepts 3/16" shaft dia rivet
sets (none included). THe head was ground down to 3/8" thick to help us
get all the tight rivets on the RV-7 wings. It built one RV-6A in Casper,
WY (that is who I bought it from) and then built a set of -7 wings. It
has been sitting in the WYoming hangar now for two years.
It worked flawlessly for me on the wings, and I oiled it and squeezed it
at the hangar today and still works as well as always. I'll guarantee
that it works when it arrives your location or I'll refund your $$.
$225 plus shipping via UPS ground, insured from Zip 82520. Email with
questions. I wanted to put it in this community first before going the
ebay route.

John,
I've never had a noise problem at Torrance. Just climb as steeply as
practical and reduce power as soon as it's safe. The aircraft that have
problems are the Bonanza's and C-210's and even they can be operated
quietly enough to not ring the bell. There used to be a map in the
terminal building that showed where the monitors were, don't know if
it's still there but if it is, take a look at it - it can help to avoid
the noise monitors

I just talked to Ken at Van's about these bearings. I was under the
impression that they were pressed in and it would not be a problem to
change. Well I was informed otherwise. i was told that these are "Captured"
bearings meaning they are between the plates of the hinge brackets and that
I would have to drill out the rivets and disasemble the hinges in order to
change the bearings. How big a deal is this? Looks like the flap and the
wing tip will need to be removed at the least... Looking for input from
those who have done this.

Hello,
I am looking for suggestions and possibly pictures of how others have
arranged the wire run out of the aileron and through, or around? the rear
spar.
The trim tab on my 6a is at the out board end of the aileron.
My concern is the same as one query I read in the archives;
How to avoid or at least minimize undue bending and chafing of the wire
during in flight operation?
