--> RV-List message posted by: "Steve & Denise" <sjhdcl@kingston.net>
I had mine under the VS fairing and it didn't work well at all.
XM should and does work under fiberglass but as you experienced the signal
is degraded.
Also try and not splice the antenna wire. Its hard since the connector is
larger but I replaced my XM
antenna with one that was not spliced and placed it on my windshield. The
reception is perfect.
Not only is the tiny wire hard to work into a connector, but the shielding
must be kept in place.

I have had success mounting the GPS antenna under the fiberglass cowl,
so I thought I'd try it with my XM antenna. It seems to work, but not
as well. The weather seems to take longer to download and the music is
spotty at times. I don't know if it is because I have it close to the
baffles and it may be blocking reception during climbs in certain
directions, or if it is because of the fiberglass.
Has anyone had success mounting theirs under fiberglass?? Does anyone
know if it should work?
Thanks

| Subject: | Forward Baggage Compartment Temperatures |
--> RV-List message posted by: "DAVID REEL" <dreel@cox.net>
Yesterday I measured a 110 degree Fahrenheit temperature close to the
firewall in the forward baggage compartment of my RV8A. The method was to
tape the wire lead of the outdoor sensor of an indoor/outdoor digital
thermometer to the firewall so that the sensor was held close but not
actually in contact with the firewall. Upon return from a half hour flight,
I just opened the baggage compartment door and read the temperature about 5
minutes after landing. I also know that plastic bubble wrap which was in
contact with the firewall did not melt and that although you can touch the
firewall, it feels pretty hot. Outside air temp was 75 degrees F.
Does anyone else have any information on the temperatures likely to be
experienced by baggage stowed in this area?

That's a great tip, although keeping the solution warm is not a
problem here in SE Florida. For the rest of the listers, I will
suggest another item to buy while you are at the aquarium supply
store. Buy an aquarium pump. This will aid in transferring the
AlumiPrep and Alodine back to your storage buckets. I keep my
chemicals in 5 gallon plastic buckets with sealing lids, like the
ones that paint and dry wall spackle are sold in.
You can buy the buckets at Home Depot or Lowes. I get mine for free
from a friend. He has a home remodeling business and is happy to give
them to me. If you have a friend in the business, bum his excess
buckets from him. You might also try looking in the dumpster behind
your local house painter's shop.

===============================
Another thing to get at the aquarium store is an aerating stone. The
solution needs oxygen to maintain its properties for performing the conversion
of
the surface. This is the property that gets lost first (dissolved oxygen) or
so I'm told.

They do.....we went together and had a big batch of these things built and
is part of the reason they are so expensive. They are the exact same ones
from the exact same place made by the exact same people!
Cheers,

I have a 3 inch spool type prop extension with a 4 1/2 in bolt pattern with 3/8
in bolts. I need a 4 inch spool type prop extension with a 4 3/4 in bolt pattern
with 3/8 in bolts. I will pay all shipping plus a little extra if needed.
