Capen" I did my elec ail trim differently - I put the trim servo in the aileron bellcrank bay impinging the pushrod in a similar fashion the the manual trim so I can't help about wire routing. That having been said, I am interested in hearing other solutions as it would apply to any control stick wiring as well. Ralph Capen -----Original Message----- From: Jim Jewell Sent: Mar 13, 2006 11:27 PM Subject: RV-List: rv6a electric aileron trim wiring? --> RV-List message posted by: "Jim Jewell" 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?

Anyone out there with an extra? BTW, I found and bought the Sensenich prop I needed from a great guy in this group.

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. I own a PA-28-180 with 2140 TTSN. I have replaced one jug about 200 hrs ago. This is a 1965 aircraft. It has always been inside and maintained better than recommended. I would not even consider exchanging it for an unknown case etc. Especially with the crankshaft problems LYC is having these days. My C/S might be 41 years old, but they sure didn't have any AD notes on them every year! If you have a clean, tight, good running engine I would not even consider anything except an overhaul by someone you personally know and trust.

James" Subject: RV-List: Aileron bearing --> RV-List message posted by: "Larry E. James" Scott, I took these apart and re-assembled (but for a different reason). No it was not difficult; the larger 1/8" rivets are easy to drill out without disturbing the hole by using a smaller drill and working up in size. The only issue you may have will be to squeeze or pound the rivets upon assembly - I have a larger (double piston) squeezer that handles the 1/8" rivets. I took mine apart to make them look nice. -- Larry E.

According to Ken the smaller one were pressed in but they were concerned with them coming out so they went to the larger bearings that are sandwiched (captured) between the hinge plates and riveted together thus requiring disassembling to replace. No fun...

I flew over it on way back and saw that FBO boulding was pretty much gone, and hanger beside it to the north was destroyed, i saw 2 planes upside down/on end in the FBO and about 6or 7 torn up in and beside the hanger buildings remains. I know there are at least 2 RV's At BVT, but lost contact, anybody have any knowledge?

He is a serious competition street bike rider and this folding bike just didn't fit the bill for him. I have the bike currently in my possession and it is a nice Candy Red finish, in like new condition, is equipped with Campagnolo (sp) derailleurs, has been ridden a total of 500 miles and includes a tough plastic travel case. I believe he wants USD $700 for it, so if you're interested, e-mail me directly and I will put you in touch with him. GV (RV-6A N1GV O-360-A1A, C/S, Flying 777hrs, Silicon Valley, CA)
