    --> RV-List message posted by: "bdjones1965" <rv_8pilot@hotmail.com> Interesting response to your RV. In these parts, an RV will always get a second look and prompt some questions at the airports I visit (in central & south Texas). I can appreciate the renters. Used to be one myself. Besides, wouldn't have many "targets" without them!! ;) Have heard some say they wouldn't fly in a "homemade" plane, but they are obviously generalizing. But - a man's gotta know his limitations. In years (way) past, most were scratch built and of lower quality (IMO). Have passed on instructing in 2 planes, and consider myself a pretty competent homemade plane pilot/instructor. Reason for keeping a dead-serious wary eye happened at my old home field where a cfi was giving transition training to a new home built plane owner. Both ended up dead (IMO) because the plane was underpowered/heavily loaded, runway too short and the cfi wasn't familiar enough with the plane. I also believe it may have been an instance where the very strong, large student overpowered a comparably much smaller cfi. http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20010601X01049&key=1 I can appreciate someone having and sticking to their limitations. 2 cents Bryan Jones -8, CFII/MEI Houston Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=28353#28353

When I was abuilding my RV, I used to sponge up any magazine stories and pictures about RVs ever since RV6 Ol' Blue came on line. Even pilot reports in ( egad ) ! English mags. After only a half hour checkout, I was getting along just fine with my RV albeit with a couple of less than text book landings. The other day though, I had to get checked out in a 172 and this really underlined what a sweet bird the RV really is. I had never before, ever, been on final with only 300 feet altitude left and holding 2200 rpm in a STRONG wind to get down. See, the instructor wanted those big barn door flaps hanging out full travel each and every time we went around so it felt like somebody had thrown the anchor out and we were two miles out with little ground speed and with me not wanting to sink below the 65 mph he liked to see on final, it was a lot of work, going round and round, smokin' ( for a 172 ) downwind, crabbing on base, and in low gear on final, wings going this way and that, and naturally, if the attitude was not just so, UP we would float and plop now and then as only about two landings were greasers without any noises......to go around again, she wanted to run for the right edge of the runway and lift off was good in that wind, although we did get some good closeup looks at cars and drivers on the way. Old habits die hard and climbing at 100 which is good for an RV only gets me a couple of hundred of climb in the 172 until instructor fellow suggests pulling nose higher. I did lots of things wrong....turning too soon , bank too much, fly over houses, try to slow down too soon, damn flaps... An Rv does all the good things you expect it to do WHEN you want to do them.....adjusting to a 172 on a very turbulent day was not a good start. I don't think I was a good ambassador for grey haired guys. He did not think today was a good day for me to do a few solo circuits.....maybe next time.. Funny thing I notice about the rental guys is that they don't ask anything about RVs. Don't even walk over on the ramp to gee whiz when an RV is parked....I think the office types warn them off us free spirit homebuilt people...no use in hanging with the wrong crowd.... Nowadays the rental outfits check you out very thoroughly...licence, medical, currency slip, RADIO LICENCE, can you believe it ?...photocopy of logbook, drivers licence, passport, certificate of circumcision...on and on...questions about what types you have flown..when...but when RV comes up, it is almost like it doesn't count...ain't professional i guess. Not one has ever asked about the speeds, landings, crosswind behaviour, climbout......FUN FACTOR .....or asked to sit in one..... If I was in my twenties and hanging around the ramp when something different came in, I would be there like a shot, but then by this time, I was probably affected by all those times I purposely stood in the slipstream of all those radial engines when they burped to life and cleared their throats of oil smoke and gas and a bit of ramp dust. Mind you, I do like a 172 or almost anything that flies and won't scare you ( like a Seawind ), or that old Pietenpol that used to be here locally, the one with grass up to her legs, and the big honkin Kinner that looked like she would like to play lawn dart.

Tom, It is an odd size, but it matches up with a standard electrician's conduit punch. I've included some of the sizes I could easily find. * 3/4" Conduit Punch, Hole Size: 1.115" * 1" Conduit Punch, Hole Size: 1.362" * 1-1/4" Conduit Die: Hole Size: 1.701" * 1-1/2" Conduit Die:, Hole Size: 1.951" * 2" Conduit Punch: Size: 2-3/8 2.416" You can find these on eBay, or try to borrow one. They are kind of expensive. Mickey -- Mickey Coggins http://www.rv8.ch/ #82007 finishing
