Does the fact that the skin is dimpled help carry load,
or do the screws themselves carry the load?
Won't the aluminium skin fail long before the "wimpy" SS screws?
I recall someone doing a write-up on rivet strength in shear,
and one of the results was that a dimpled skin with a flush
rivet was much stronger than any other type of rivet, with
the conclusion that the dimpled skin was carrying load.
Perhaps someone else knows where to find that report.

Bill Marvel's report is at:
http://www.kilohotel.com/rv8/rvlinks/marvelrivets.html
I know there are a number of RVs flying with SS screws instead of AN
hardware on the fuel tanks, and I haven't heard of any failures yet.
But that is an experiment that I personally don't want to do. I'm
reminded of an Australian P-3 that was subjected to a significant
overstress. The aerodynamic loads were high enough that the wing
leading edges came off the spar, destroying the ability of the wing
to function, leading to a fatal accident.
SS screws in the tank attachments may work just fine, until the day
that there is an significant, inadvertent overstress. Then you could
discover that the aircraft no longer has the hoped for 1.5 factor of
safety, as the tanks come off well before the spar fails.

All,
Ken Asbe, a police officer in Clear Lake, Iowa ordered a tail kit in 1989. He
pounded the spar together in his basement. He raised a family, remodeled one
house and built another, all the while slowly but surely pounding rivets.
I have been working with him to get him current and a tailwheel endorsement. (no
time for flying) The airplane was ready before he was and he asked me to fly
it.
On Wednesday night N851S broke ground and flew. The first flight was cut short
by a plugged injector, but a few minutes work solved that and I flew it again
for about 40 minutes. It has an IO-320 with a Bernie Warnke prop.
It is an incredibly light airplane, 1020# I think, and my impression was of how
wonderful "light" RV's fly.
Ken is not on this list but you can send him congrats at N851S@yahoo.com
Tailwinds,
Doug Rozendaal

Ken,
Congratulations ! May your cross-countrys have strong tailwinds, and your
landings be into the wind.
Now speakin' as a brother of the badge, watch-out for those folks in ATC. They're
always beatin' up cops about our "Adam, Boy, Charles" verses their "Alpha,
Bravo, Charlies". And thank God you built a "Manly Plane" with the little
wheel in back.... I'm gettin' awfully tired of seein' all those sissy nose
draggers suckin' up our skies !

Listers,
My friend George Newman recently had damage done to his right elevator by a serviceman.
He backed the plane into a steel post. George isn't computer saavy,
so he asked me to post this request for him. He would like to buy a good, straight
right side elevator for his flying RV-6A.
Please contact him directly by phone at (954)942-5631 George is a yacht captain,
so you may have to leave a message on his voice mail.

Congratulations on the first flight Ken. As another "brother of the

give ATC a hearty "10-4" in response to a clearance, you'll be

Tis your nosewheel racist opinion. I would note that from my perspective
the manly men (and at least one sexy woman) who fly taildraggers around
here don't seem to fly very far. Perhaps an hour to a breakfast then they
have to scurry home to mama. :) for those who don't know humor.

Don't know if this was discussed before or not....so, does anyone know if
there are any significant benefits from installing RV7, RV8 style wingtips
on an RV6, or 6A? For example lateral stability, speed, lift, reduction in
stall speed, wing loading, maneuverability, etc. If any advantages do
result what are the trade-offs?
Thanks.

Actually some of them do handle fairly high crosswinds. That may
be a testament to their skill or their lack of judgement. I also wonder
why they have to find someone else to fly with them when they go
beyond an hour away. Then they have to fly closely as if "holding hands"
for reassurance. Makes you wonder. Another :) for the humor
impaired.

When the sheared tips came out, it was thought they might offer slightly
better performance in stability, stall speed, climb rate, and high altitude
cruise due to the slightly higher aspect ratio. The improvements were small
enough that they were hard to measure, although some of the people who were
really into performance modifications claimed to have demonstrated the high
altitude cruise improvement.
There should be some additional information in the archives.

Howdy Y'all!
This is just a note to extend a huge heartfelt THANK YOU to all who
facilitated and attended the clinic- It was a real honor and priveledge to rub
elbows
and keep from swapping paint with all who attended- hope I didn't scare the
hell outa Pappy, Buckeye & Wizz- they each taught me a bunch. Great to see
everybody again & meet with the rest of y'all who get a kick outa doing it RIGHT
&
TIGHT. RVrs as a whole are the best, but these guys are the best of the best,
so when another clinic comes around your neck-o-the-woods, get right in that
sucker and be prepared for the most intense flying available 'cause two things
are guaranteed: you'll get to know your plane better than your best lover,
and you will get your butt kicked and elevated to places you never imagined.
HUGE thanks to Falcon and Kahuna for making this dream come true, and to the
Ohio Valley RVators, especially Rick Gray for making this clinic a big
success! These guys have busted their tails to bring this to us, so if yer up
to it,
I heartily encourage all RVers to take advantage of this awesome opportunity-
it just doesn't get any better!
Nuff said- Possum
do not archive, not a paid endorser, and no animals were harmed in it's
production..... 8-)

Long ago, my daddy tol' me that only brutes put it in the rear; gentlemen
put it in front. I was too young to understand ... and never knew until
after he was gone that he was a pilot... :P
Definitely Do Not Archive this joke...

Actually some of them do handle fairly high crosswinds. That may
be a testament to their skill or their lack of judgement. I also wonder
why they have to find someone else to fly with them when they go
beyond an hour away. Then they have to fly closely as if "holding hands"
for reassurance. Makes you wonder. Another :) for the humor
impaired.

Most nose weenies ;) now days are scared to death of a tailwheel
airplane. BTW have any of you done the research
to see how many taildraggers have takeoff/landing accident versus nose
wheel TO/LD accidents in RV's? You might be
surprised at the results. An airplane is an airplane is an airplane
makes no difference to me if its nose drags or its tail drags.
Granted you have to pay more attention to landing a TD airplane over a
NW airplane, but is that bad? No I don't think so.
I would be interested to see what the max Direct X-wind component most
of you nose wheel RV "DRIVERS" have landed with?
The max for me in my RV-6 was 24kts direct across the runway, not fun
but doable. How about the rest of you?????

Maybe because TD pilots are the manly type they find spending time with
the baby's mama as much fun as flying. ;-)

Jerry, that works out to about a 20 degree crab angle relative to the air at
a 65 knot touchdown speed. I don't believe my RV6A has enough rudder
authority to yaw the nose that far. I'll try it at altitude and see how far
I can yaw the nose at 65-70 knots.

KGVL AWOS reported 28kts at 35 deg from the right- landed right of CL and
scooted too close for comfort left before stable on 100' wide RW- very
interesting but survived...

Finally a place I can contribute! Build what you want, fly what you
want, paint it as you will, just don't expect an RV-10 to come in a tail
dragger.
Mentioned earlier was the Brazilian X-Wind video. I posted it on one of
my sites some time ago.
