[Please Read] Dear Listers, By popular suggestion, I've written a substantial new code module for the Matronics Email Lists system. Here's how it works... During each November, I send out quite a few PBS-like "Please make a Contribution to support your List" emails. Wouldn't it be cool if, once a member made a Contribution, they didn't have to receive my support pleas anymore for the rest of that year? Well, that's exactly what I've written! Following this posting, anyone that makes a List Contribution in 2006 will no longer receive my Contribution Pleas for the rest of the year! The best part is this not only applies to the Realtime distribution, but also the Digest distribution! For those that have made a Contribution, the Daily Digest email-version will be invisibly stripped of my requests as well! (Note that my requests will still be present in the online versions of the Digests, List Browse, and on the Forum site.) For those submitting their Contribution by personal Check, please be sure to include your email address along with your Check as this is what is used to determine eligibility. So, in a nutshell, here's how it works: Make a Contribution = No more "Please Make a Contribution" messages! How sweet is that? If that's not a great reason to jump on the Matronics Email List Contribution site and make your donation today, I don't know what is! Don't forget that there are some totally awesome free gifts to be had along with your List Contribution this year!! Don't wait a minute longer to support your Lists! http://www.matronics.com/contribution Thank you for your Support!!

At least they did for me. I did trim the HS tips an inch farther forward so the longer, lighter, RV-7 elevator tips would clear. (It's in the plans, so it wasn't a builder mod.. :-) ) BTW, the RV-7 elevators are also used for the RV-8 empannage. I've put RV-7 elevators on both, recently.

________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 10:53:34 AM PST US From: "Joe & Jan Connell" Subject: RV-List: RV Painters in Iowa and Minnesota Guys, I have an RV-9A that could fly next summer if I don't paint it first. I could paint it at home in our basement before the 1st flight using the Stewart/Hangar 21 water- borne, 2-part epoxy process. This would add another year to the build process. Once I fly it I'd rather not return it home for painting. There is no painting permitted at the Rochester, MN airport. Can you recommend someone in the IA/MN area to paint an RV? I'm getting close to a crossroad here... Many thanks, Joe Connell Stewartville, MN ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 01:54:10 PM PST US From: Dave Bristol Subject: Re: RV-List: Spark Plugs & Repairman Charlie, I think that we're actually on the same side here, but maybe I wasn't clear in what I was trying to say. My point was that you DO need an authorization to sign off the condition inspection and you DO need to know that the plugs are gapped correctly to do so. My quote "this engine has been inspected in accordance with the...." is from my oplims and is therefore "required". The Repairman's Certificate is not about "repairing" it's about signing.

If that is not available, give them a call or an email, there are more pictures available from them. The servo controls would normally be connected with threaded rod end bearings. Incidentally, I just returned from attending the Airflow Perfomance two-day "Fuel Injection 101" I think it is an excellant value and was well worth the trip. Dick Sipp RV10 40065 ----- Original Message ----- From: William Gill To: rv-list@matronics.com Sent: Sunday, November 05, 2006 10:43 AM Subject: RV-List: Airflow Performance fuel servo set-up (RV-7 w/IO-390) Hello All, If anyone has any pictures of the throttle and mixture cable connections to the fuel servo, please send them my way. I am also trying to find a source for the cable end B-nuts that will fit through the linkage arms on the fuel servo or similar hardware for this purpose (Aircraft Spruce doesn't have). I have rotated the fuel servo 90 degrees that allows both the mixture and throttle arm linkages to be positioned slightly lower than the sump. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
