| Subject: | Vertical Card Compass in RV Panel Vertical Card Compass |
in RV Panel
In my tip up 6A I had it in the panel next the six pack. Did not work at all.
So I moved it to the glareschield. Still debating if I should replace it with
a regular whisky compass as it still not what it should be. Oh yes, GPS have
made compass obsolete but then again it is required and you may find out the
GPS does not work.

I have a friend that needs to go to LSA. He has come across a Capella with a
Rotax912 that fits his price, anyone have information or opinions about this
plane?
Thanks

| Subject: | Re: Vertical Card Compass in RV Panel |
The issue with vertical card compasses when mounted in a panel is two-fold. First,
they are more sensitive to local magnetic fields. Second, and much worse is
that they use a BIG magnet on a needle bearing and no damping fluid. They will
just spin around in circles under certain resonant vibrations. They are horribly
affected by vibration. It also wears out the pivot bearings very fast. This
is why the manufacturers of these devices provide very soft and cushioned
mounts for them -for out of the panel applications only.
I tried on in a panel myself a few years back -even talked to the manufacturer
about it... It just plain didn't work for the above reasons.

Thanks Gert,
It sounds like the TBM just missed seeing the smaller plane in the horizon
of stuff.
I might be painting my rudder day glo orange just because...
It also sounds like there was initially a large gap between the TBM and the
rest of the traffic when it first approached the north end of Papa which may
have also led to him not identifying which was the next in line.
The bottom line there is that if he was following the wrong plane and didn't
know about the RV than nothing outside like walkers or radios could have
fixed that as they would not know that he didn't know until he ran into it.
Which is pretty much what happens in most mid air collisions ie neither
pilot has identified the other's presence and relative location until it's
too late.
As has already been said, a lot of S/A and a little prayer... AKA head on a
swivel at all times on any airport.

Since you are near us in Chicago, you should join the Ohio Valley
Rvators. We have more than 50 RV's flying, weekend get togethers, have a
great formation team, and yearly clinic. We now have over 400 members
and growing. Rick Gray runs the group and a bunch of them have made this
trip several times and should be able to help you with what exactly you
do and do not need. Takes just a few minutes to join, great group of
guys and great resources for international travel.
Hope this helps.

I have flown across the border hundreds of times, and no one has ever
asked to see my radio operators permit, nor the one for the
aircraft. They are much more worried about what type of food you
might have along, drugs, alcohol, guns, etc. Don't waste your time
or money on the radio permits.

I built and flew one, It was a fun plane, great in the summer with the
doors off. Flew about 90-105 mph. I got rid of it when I got my RV-6,
but lots of times I wish I still had it for those low and slow days.
Although I had no trouble with the manufacturer or the kit, I think he
did have problems with timely deliveries that caused more than a few
customer complaints. I am not even sure if they are still in business.

I've been across the border a few times and like Kevin, was never asked for

Jeff,
Same here as Kevin...haven't been asked for my radio station license or
restricted radiotelephone operator's permit (only flew to Canada once,
Mexico several times). But I do have 'em to be "safe."
Something you DO need to carry is a "Standardised Validation of a Special
Airworthiness Certificate-Experimental" aboard your U.S. built homebuilt
airplane. Doesn't need to be signed or anything, just print it out and
carry it with your aircraft docs. See the bottom of this page:
http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/gen_av/ultralights/sfa/
...and here's a direct link:
http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/gen_av/ultralights/sfa/media/tcauth.pdf
Gotta love how easy it is flying to Canada! I hope to fly to BC one of
these years.

The compass isn't obsolete if ATC asks you to fly a particular
heading. They often give specific headings to various aircraft to
ensure separation between them. This works as long as all the
aircraft are actually flying heading. But, if there is a strong
wind, there may be a large difference between heading and track. If
one aircraft is flying heading, and another one is flying track, then
separation may be compromised.
I do agree that if you are navigating somewhere, track info is
extremely useful, and heading info is much less useful.

Hi Folks
can anybody tell me the difference between the 06A19956 and STD2217 oil
seals, both are 7/8" i.d. x 1-1/2" o.d. x 5/16" wide.
according to the parts book, my vacuum pump adapter should have the
06A19956 seal, but has the STD2217 seal and it needs replacing,
also, in the parts book, page 2-4 of the parts manual, it shows steel
ring #3 to sit on top of the drive gear, under the tail of #16. However
on page 5-4 of the overhaul manual as well as on page 1-23 of the limits
and torque supplement, it shows the steel ring under the snapring
holding the shaft in place. I looked at two adapters, and wouldn't u
know, one had the ring on top and one had the ring at the bottom.
Anybody knows the correct placement??
any input greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gert

I fly between Niagara falls and Toronto and can tell you I've also never had
to show anyone a radio license. The Canadian immigration are great to deal
with. I simply arrive at a port of entry, then from the fbo call customs and
they will ask questions and possibly visit you if they feel the need. The
problem is coming home. Once I was threatened with incarceration for opening
the aircraft canopy before the customs agent said it was ok.....plus he was
already pissed for me being 10 minutes early. I think Part of my punishment
was to sit and bake in the sun...but dont despair, my marine experience has
been exactly the same. So I know they're not singling out flyboys and
flygirls.
