Van's had a similar answer although their suggestion was proseal as the
adhesive. I think I'll go that route. I have proseal left over from the
tanks. It's purely cosmetic but bugging me because it's just one square
out of all the rest. Thanks to all for the help!

Hi Thomas,
Nice videos! I have a couple of questions:
How do you activate the camera when it is mounted on the wing?
How far out did you mount the wing camera? From the picture it looks like that
the mounting bracket is removable.
With your mount on the inside of the canopy, how much interference do you get from
the prop and reflection of the canopy?

I have a Lightspeed ignition on
an O-360
Lightspeed says it has to be timed by using
a timing light from behind the engine shining forward onto
the flywheel.
The problem is that the front baffle is in the way.
Do I have to remove the baffle or did someone find a better way?
The baffle is difficult to remove especialy with the prop and
flywheel attached!!

But an RV is not as easy as a cherokee 140, or a cessna 172.NO>..
Is fast, and you must have power when flaring.... very different..
You must learn to land an RV., just like any other plane, but the first
few times, when I took the transition training, from my Cherokee 140, to
this, was an experience...it drops like a brick, if you do not use some
power....Cherockee floats and floats, and floats.....

| Subject: | RE: catto 3-blade prop |
I too have a 3-blade Catto prop (66x72) on my O-320 RV-9A. It is a nice
looking prop and very smooth. With 145 hours on it, I have a lot of
nicks on the back side of the prop showing white through. I noticed on
Mel Asberry's RV-6 with the Catto prop has no nicks at all and he flies
off a gravel runway. I'm not sure if he has changed paints or just put
it on too thin for my prop but I'll have to repaint the back side at
some point.
As for delivery, this is where Craig really drops the ball. He is a
helluva nice guy but has no sense at all about scheduling. I ordered on
January 19, 20'05 and was told about 16 weeks. It was December 17th
before the prop arrived and I had to bug the hell out of him to get it.
I did give him a grace period in the summer since I knew he was busy.
I'd still recommend Craig's props but always tell people to order a year
in advance!

| Subject: | RE: Ignition & FI |
After 18 months of no progress, I'm finally back to building (almost). I
have decided on FADEC for spark and fuel, but not getting any response from
the Aerosance people. Is anyone having similar problems? Is anyone getting
good service from them? Finally, do any of you have experience with Eagle
EMS? I know it's not tuned to each cylinder, but it is FADEC-like. I'm
looking at FADEC for an RV-7/XP-360 combination.
