Since we now have this fancy attachment system, it seems a waste not to at

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. I tried all of them in reverse
order of difficulty. Of course the last one worked. FYI where the
brake pedals are bolted on at the bottom of the rudder pedals there is
room for a bolt, a thin washer and nut to hold each on. 'Someone' had
installed a thick washer, thereby making the pedals quite tight to
rotate. Spent 3 hours on my belly in 88 degree temp correcting a five
minute error. Following test flight succeeded in changing a frown to a
grin by inverting the ADI. For those who have never benifited from
'Brain Storming Sessions', remember to keep your suggestions POSITIVE
and keep the "DUMB" questions coming...Even I can learn...........

We've always had the ability to enclose pics on the RV-10 list but
please
consider the problems associated with the increase in message size when
you
enclose pics. I reposted the formation pic (very impressive) after using
the
powertoy suggested by Matt and with one click it reduced the formation
pic
from 200K to 50K. I think it would be a good idea for us to reduce pic
size
whenever possible.

Of course, sending a message with a more highly compressed picture twice
cuts down on the amount one saves by compressing the picture... I know,
at least in my case, I would rather have a picture that is twice as
large rather than two smaller copies of the same picture :-) ...

When I saw that I had sent that message twice, I knew I 'was in for it'. For
penance, I went out in the garage and drilled out 35 acceptable rivets, all
of them in hard to reach areas. Previously I used Photoshop to resize
pictures but this resizing tool works great, is fast, and the price is
right. I used it on the photos I've been taking of my RV-10 project and it
reduced them from about 400K to about 50K taking about 30 seconds to reduce
35 pictures. Now, out to the garage to set 35 rivets.

Got the Cleaveland Aircraft Tool RV Fuel Selector Handle for Van's fuel
valve but looks to me the set screw should come in from the other direction
for my RV-4 set up. Wouldn't the set screw be on the shaft flat? Anyone got
theirs yet?

I think Rob's higher resolution photo was very appropriate for an aerial
photo of a formation flight with a detailed background. The lower resolution
is great for closer-up photos like we might take of an engine or airframe
detail, but when there's a lot of information or maybe for a photo of
someone's new paint job, at least for me I prefer the higher resolution. I
might not feel the same if I had dial-up.
By the way, great photo, Rob. I saved your message awhile back about taking
air to air photos. Good stuff.

Bruce,
I recall that the standard handle had a flat in the bore which corresponded
with the flat on the shaft. Don't remember where the set screw was.
BTW, I'd recommend giving the Van's selector valve the heave-ho. I flew
with mine for about 700 hours, never quite sure if it would actually stick
or not when changing tanks. It was painful to buy the Andair, but worth
every penny.

I promise, you wouldn't feel the same if you were stuck with dialup.
The file size generated by 'smallest' using the MS software is plenty
for viewing on a computer screen & the larger ones really hurt, when you
get a few dozen every time you download email (multiple lists).
It's easy to check file size before attaching the photo to an email &
the 60% of us still stuck with dialup would be grateful.

Just picked up a used Landoll Balancer. Has anyone got any installation
information available? I have the copy of a sheet that shows pictures of the
components and tell what it does, but I'm looking for torque requirements of the
bolts and general installation information. This is the silicone fluid
balancer with aerobatic plate. Thanks as always.......

Well, Matt has just given us carte-blanche to post items to the 'list. If
you think a 200k image is bad, you might want to consider what will happen
when someone thinks their vacation photos would be appropriate. For anyone
on dial-up, I would say that this list has just stopped being a viable
resource for you, and that's unfortunate.
Someone posted that I should use the Microsoft "Resize" powertoy. If that
person had been a little more observant, they would have seen that I *did*
use the powertoy, to create that image. I'm assuming nobody wanted the
7.5MB raw image posted to the 'list, so I compressed it to 200kB. Any
smaller, and I believe the image loses too much of its impact. I'm sorry
if you disagree, but as the artist I prefer that my image reflect the scene
as I saw it and the smaller images just don't do it.
Finally, i'll point out that I have only received *two* of the replies to
my original post. The reply with the smaller image never reached me, the
suggestion to use the powertoy never reached me, and two of the other
messages referred to elsewhere in the thread never reached me either.
Maybe this attachment thing has messed up some other part of the
distribution mechanism for the list...

Fuel lube gets extremely stiff at temperatures like we get in Minnesota in
the winter. I could hardly turn my Van's valve at temps around 10F or
colder. Perhaps there is another lube which will make the valve not creak
and groan, and would work in cold temperatures, but I don't know what it
would be.

great for almost 18 years now.
Andair is nice but not necessary.
