    Subject: Re: static port line
    --> RV-List message posted by: linn Walters <pitts_pilot@bellsouth.net> "better" is relative. The ty-rap will work just fine for a long time, but they do get brittle an break over time. You can get stick-on bases for the ty-rap that will really stick for a long time, eliminating the drilled hole. They're nice and light, and easy to install. An ADEL clamp would be better, though (just to answer your question). But it's all relative!!!

    --> RV-List message posted by: linn Walters <pitts_pilot@bellsouth.net> Depends on how big you want the labels. Brother makes a neat labelmaker that you can print on clear stock ..... in at least black or white letters. I have the hand held one ..... but wish I had the little desk top model (still portable though) for it's better features. Take a look in any good stationary store. Linn do not archive.

Tom, My solution is to make a p-clip from 0.016" x 1/2" strip. Attach to the backside of a AN426-3 rivet that fixes the turtle deck skin to the longeron. Doug Gray

    --> RV-List message posted by: "smittysrv" <smitty@smittysrv.com> I have found that if I hold the backrivet tool perfectly perpendicular to the surface, the rivets come out looking like crap and look pushed over. I soon learned to lean the backrivet attachment towards the upward angle side of the back stiffener to make the back rivets come out perfect. That don't make no sense, I know, but it works.

    Subject: Mixture & fuel flow
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Tim Bryan" <n616tb@btsapps.com> Hi Listers I now have about 12 hours on my Aero Sport engine and starting to think about leaning it. (The instructions indicate to run it rich) My fuel flow shows about 14 GPH with it full rich at 8500 feet. When I lean it I have to pull the mixture back about 3/4 of the way to get it down to 10 GPH. This seems excessive to me. I did not lean to a stumble at this point. Also, my VM-1000 has a leaning process but I don't understand it yet. Plus I have a cylinder #3 that is running about 425 that concerns me. Is it possible the carburetor needs to be altered or adjusted somehow? Thanks Tim

RTV will hold the tubing securely anywhere you need it. Ever need to replace the tubing...you can easily slice the RTV with a razor blade, and then just re-RTV the new tubing in place. No need for any fancy hardware here! This is an area you'll never see. FWIW, I used adhesive tie wrap mounts and some did pop off as predicted.

I can't tell if anything you mentioned suggest the need for adjustments of the carb or your cooling system but 14 GPH at 8500' is too rich. I don't spend much time that low (8500') but 10 GPH there may be ok. I usually lean to stumble then enrichen until smooth...and sometimes one more mixture notch. Are you saying that pulling the mixture out 3/4 of the way is excessive or 10GPH is excessive? Have you checked the flow after leaning to engine stumble/running rough then mixture in until smooth? At my flight altitudes (above 11,500') I am 7.5 GPH or less. Ron Lee

    Subject: Mixture & fuel flow
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Tim Bryan" <n616tb@btsapps.com> Hi Ron, My thought is that pulling the mixture 3/4 of the way just to get from 14 down to 10 is a lot. I will try to lean till it stumbles next time, but am cautious of getting to lean while the engine is new. Really the question might be is 14 pretty high for full rich mixture at that altitude? On the ground it shows nearly 17 GPH full rich. (3200' field) I would like to see closer to 8 GPH when leaned. (0-360-A1A) I suppose my fuel flow meter could be off.

Have you verified fuel remaining per your instrumentation versus actual. If those are off then the number of pulses per unit fuel needs to be adjusted. That will affect your fuel flow. Obviously follow engine maker instructions for break-in and call them if you have questions about limits of EGT, CHT, etc Ron Lee

    Subject: acceptable defects on universal head rivets??
    --> RV-List message posted by: Charlie England <ceengland@bellsouth.net> Just saw this on another list: Per MIL-STD-403C (the revision level of the paper copy [he has]) para 5.2.7.5: "Marring of the manufactured head. A cut or ring caused by the riveting equipment shall be acceptable on non-flush rivets providing the depth of the cut is not greater than one-fourth of the head height. Cut or ringed flush rivets shall not be acceptable." Anybody who's familiar with either mil-spec standards or FAA 'best practices' that knows whether this is valid? I'm not advocating sloppy work, but I can remember drilling out a few 1/8" rivets due to minor errors with the universal set & making a bigger problem when I did it. If the quote above is accurate, I'd bet there are quite a few projects out there that would be better off carrying around a few 'smiles'. Charlie

    Subject: Re: engraved instrument panels
    --> RV-List message posted by: sarg314@comcast.net An interesting labeling method: I work at an observatory which is always making electronic things with aluminum panels. We anodize the panels a dark color - blue or black - and take them to a local trophy shop which uses a laser etching device to label it. The very narrow beam of the laser explodes the dark anodize (it has to be dark to absorb the light) off the surface exposing the bare aluminum underneath. Looks terrific, really bright. VERY permanent and not very expensive. I did this with my panel. I'll post an image when I get it back later this week. Traditionally anodize will fade in sunlight. However, new "architectural dyes" are much more resistant to fading. I also suspect that the plexi canopy would block much of the short (UV) wavelengths that do the dirty work. My plane will be hangared, so I think the sun fading issue will be minimized, anyway. We'll see. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Parker Thomas" <me@parkerthomas.com> > --> RV-List message posted by: "Parker Thomas" <me@parkerthomas.com> > > Might anyone know where I can get some labels made for my instrument panel? > I'd like them engraved or printed.

    Subject: engraved instrument panels
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Brian Kraut" <brian.kraut@engalt.com> I second this. I have had them do labels for my planes and I also get all of our labels for ships consoles at work from them. Great service, good prices, and good people to deal with. I suggest getting your labels in the reverse engraved .020" lexan. This is a matt clear material that is engraved and paint filled from the back side so the letters are protected and the front is smooth. They are thinner than you can get from other engravers so they look better and the matt material does not have as much glare and does not show scratches easily. They can also engrave and paint fill in several steps to give you different colors of leters on the labels. I very highly recommend them.
