In my mind I picture this.
You have a county size piece of land.
You have several thunder cells and say they are a half mile in diamiter.
They are moving at say 5 miles an hour across the county.
Each one cuts a halfmile wide swath across the county.
Depending on how many "swaths" there are you would have a 20%, 40%, 50%,
60%, 80% chance of getting wet
Thats my mental picture, others may have different pictures.
Mine is a small mind.

With no disrespect, I don't think that's too accurate. Steady-state
cells, especially, come and go all the time - some don't last more than
an hour. The statistical nature of describing convective activity has a
lot more to do with whether or not storms form at all than predicting
where existing storms are going.

A builder friend told me to use tite-seal for the AN fittings on my engine
block that connects to the various hose end fittings (oil cooler, oil
pressure, etc.). Is this the best way to go and if it is would you use the
medium or light weight tite-seal? Any other suggestions? Is temperature an
issue here as far as the tite-seal is concerned? I want to install some of
these fittings before I mount the engine (Thursday). Your help is very much
appreciated.

Tite Seal or Liquid Teflon Tape are excellent sealants to be used
on the pipe thread end of AN fittings. I like to apply a small amount
of NeverSeize to the male threads which the B nut screws onto. This
prevents galling of these threads during assembly.

| Subject: | Checking air in tires |
As many of you know some of the aircraft tires and tubes need frequent
checking for correct air pressure. With wheel fairings installed that
job is not done quickly or easily.
Found a 6 inch flexible rubber extension for checking air pressure in
tires that makes the job a bit easier when wheel fairings are installed.
The extension is sold at NAPA stores, and others I'm sure, for
connections to the inner tire on a dual wheel arrangement for trucks. I
had been using a 6 inch straight steel adapter sold by one of the tool
suppliers to the RV crowd, that required rather precise alignment of the
tire valve with the port in the wheel fairing to get the adapter on the
valve. Which is a chore when doing this alone. The flexible extension
doesn't require as precise alignment and with a mark on the tire showing
the valve location it is working much better.

| Subject: | Intercom CAD file wanted |
--> RV-List message posted by: Charlie Kuss <chaztuna@adelphia.net>
Listers,
I'm wiring up my Flightcom 403d intercom on my RV-8A project. I'd
like to thank Pete Howell for his tips on adding additional aux
inputs to this intercom. I called Flightcom's tech support earlier
today. I asked if they had a CAD drawing of the wiring schematic
(exterior wiring) of this intercom. I was hoping that I could start
with their generic drawing and modify it to show my system.
Unfortunately, the tech looked on their server but couldn't find a
CAD based drawing.
Does anyone have a CAD file of their intercom that they would be
willing to share? I'd be happy to trade CAD schematics, as I've
already diagrammed most of the circuits on my 8A.

For those of you in the market for a new engine, Van's is offering a
very good price on an overstock of fixed pitch 0-320's.

| Subject: | Lowering high CHT and oil temps |
--> RV-List message posted by: Ron Lee <ronlee@pcisys.net>
When I mentioned recently that opening the lower cowl by the
exhaust pipes and adding louvers lowered oil temps I did not
remember that it also lowered CHTs as well. That makes sense
because better air flow through the oil cooler should also mean
better airflow though the cylinder fins areas. I used to have to manage
CHT during initial climbout on warm/hot days but no more.
