We have used electrical tape and shoe polish for the 12" requirement returning
from other countries.
I have 3" on my S8. My DAR never even mentioned the speed, nor did I bring it up
bragging about the speed. You can see my 3" scripted font barely readable from
50' here:
http://www2.eaa690.org:8080/coppermine/displayimage.php?pos=-138
Coming back from the Turks, out electrical tape was flapping in the wind as the
hot sun was softening the glue and the tape was fluttering off. Was funny to
watch. We switched to shoe polish after that.
Enjoy,
Mike

There's also the issue of international flying. Not sure if that
counts for Caribbean, Canada or Mexico. What do you guys who cross
the borders regularly do? Temporary 12" numbers? Anyone had
their wrist slapped for not having the big numbers on their RV?

I am pretty much standard engine, cowling, and the FWF kit saved lots of
time. There were some parts supplied I did not use but the convenience
of having almost everything was nice. I am not an A&P with lots of
spare parts laying around. I wanted parts that was the right part and
the right size. The FWF kit worked very well with my TMX-O-360 engine
installation. I am sure it would work well with a lycoming as well.

I did the FWF kit and I'd do it again. If you already have some of the
parts that are included in the kit, Van's will custom tailor the kit to
your needs. Just let them know what you do not need. They will send the
rest and bill you accordingly.
Just my two cents worth.

Hi All-
A person could have a lot of fun with this one! I asked a pertinent source
about this subject and got the perfect answer. The cruise speed of a plane
has an FAA definition. Unfortunately I don't have either the citation at
my fingertips or the time to look it up right now, but you can go to the
main fed site and do a search for the info and get it right from the horses
mouth. The short version is that V sub D (design diving speed), V sub NE
(never exceed speed), V sub H (max sea level speed), and V sub C (cruise
speed) are all mathematically defined and interrelated, as well as linked
to wing loading at max gross take off weight. V sub C has a range, the
maximum end of which is defined as 0.9 x V sub H. According to Van's, V
sub H is 192 kts for the RV-8. 192 x .9 = 173. Therefore, the max cruise
speed for an RV-8 is 173 kts as defined by the FAA.
Voila!
Crossing an ADIZ is another matter, of course. We plan on 12" markings for
that reason alone.

Thanks for the info everyone.
I know everyone wants to hash out the height issue again and I'm sure I can find
some DAR to disagree but, I think that issue is pretty clear as written in the
regulation. Dan is right, its CAS and at 75% power the RV-8 will see nothing
close to 180kts CAS. Glen's analysis should also be some good ammo.
The question I really needed an answer to is:
With respect to FAR 45.29 (c), has anyone ever had an issue if the width does not
exactly match?
It's not like I'm using some crazy font, just a plain Swis821 LtCn BT in bold and
slightly slanted but, it does not have characters that are exactly 2/3 wide
as they are high and the "1" is not exactly 1/6th wide. The number "8"is exactly
2/3rd but the "N" the "G" and "P" are about as wide as they are high.
After looking a Mike Stewarts font, I can't imagine anyone having a problem with
mine but before I shoot and clear coat, I wanted to know if anyone had ever
heard of an issue with the width and font of the character from their DAR?
Thanks everyone.

(c) Width. Characters must be two-thirds as wide as they are high, except the number
"1", which must be one-sixth as wide as it is high, and the letters "M"
and "W" which may be as wide as they are high.
(d) Thickness. Characters must be formed by solid lines one-sixth as thick as the
character is high.
(e) Spacing. The space between each character may not be less than one-fourth of
the character width.

The requirement isn't relative to border crossing or flying to other
countries. The requirement has to do with whether or not you are crossing
the ADIZ...and also depends on the regs of the countries you're visiting.
When I flew to Canada, for instance, I had just my 3" numbers. Didn't cross
the ADIZ.
When I fly to Mexico, I always use 12" temporary numbers (shoe polish).
>From a standpoint of convenience, having 12" numbers would be a good thing.
But I can't bring myself to put 'em on there permanently for reasons that
are probably obvious to many RV pilots on this list.

For better or worse, there are no consistent application of any rules.
After your inspection and your paperwork is done, there is nothing to
stop a ramp check from requiring you to change em. If your not in
compliance, then your not.
And on the Vx Dy stuff I know nothing about, in the end its how YOURS

Yep..just like from one FSDO to another the regs are
interpreted in different ways. When I went to flight
school for the Army, I was told to get my FAA Helo
ratings while in Alabama, because the other FSDO's
didn't understand the military equivalency thing and I
could run into obstacles.
(By the way, my Commercial Helicopter with Instrument
rating cost me $60, and I got paid to get it!)

| Subject: | Squeaking brakes |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Jim Frisby" <flyingj@mtaonline.net>
With all you guys in rocket ships, I'll probably get laughed of the list,
but here goes.
I have a Zenith CH801, it's maximum speed is around 100mph. I monitor this
list because I'm interested in adding an RV-3 to my "stable", either by
building from a kit, partially built kit, or possibly a flying plane.
Since there are so many RV builders, I thought I might ask here:
What can be done to quiet squealing brakes. My CH801 brakes squeal like the
dickens with anything more than light application. I have heard a
suggestion to put grease on the back side of the pads, between the pads and
the pucks, I plan to try that, but I'd like to hear suggestions from anyone
who has had to deal with this.
When I first taxied the plane, I made sure to season the brakes the same way
I used to season my cleveland brakes on production planes, but they have
squealed since they were new.
Thanks

I have been happy at every step taken with Mattituck. I would buy
another engine from them again but would consider others also. Things

available. Mattituck has exceeded my expectations at every opportunity.

John,
I was one of the first users of the Sam James cowl and Plenum. It is
designed around a fuel injection system with a forward facing air intake
direct to the fuel injector. It is very efficient. You can expect at
least a 10 knot increase over Vans standard setup. Also, it will cool
much more efficiently. Consider installing your oil cooler behind cyl
number 4 as high as possible and tilt back approx. 25 degrees for better
performance.
Good Luck. I will look for you at one of the future Air Venture Cup
races. I welcome the competition.

Hi Jim
Do a search of the RV-list archives, there is probably a lot of relevant
info there. The way aluminum brake lines are formed and attached to the
wheel cylinder can create a vibration or chattering squeal. I had to
reduce the size of the flexible loop on my aluminum brake lines, somehow
a vibration would develop causing a fluttering or whipping in the large
brake line loop and causing a lot of high pitched brake noise and also
causing one brake line to fail at the wheel cylinder in about 12 hrs.

Try cleaning and lubing the shafts that the caliper slides on, and make sure
the caliper slides on the axis of those shafts...that there isn't a twisting
load on it.
Just a WAG, hope it helps.

Hi Jim
Do a search of the RV-list archives, there is probably a lot of relevant
info there. The way aluminum brake lines are formed and attached to the
wheel cylinder can create a vibration or chattering squeal. I had to
reduce the size of the flexible loop on my aluminum brake lines, somehow
a vibration would develop causing a fluttering or whipping in the large
brake line loop and causing a lot of high pitched brake noise and also
causing one brake line to fail at the wheel cylinder in about 12 hrs.

Greetings Listers, I have been told that the safest way to treat flares
brake and fuel fittings is with a double flaring tool. I can get my hands
on a double flaring tool, but it is a 45degree fitting not 37 degree. I was
thinking that I could use the double flaring tool to make the initial folded
over flare, then my single 37degree flaring tool to finish it off. Does
anyone see a problem with this approach??
Thanks, Mick
