    Subject: Why? [Please Read]
    Dear Listers, Each year I like to explain why I have a Fund Raiser and also take the opportunity to express why I think the List Services here provide a superior experience over the commercial equivalents. I use the List Fund Raiser each year to offset the costs involved with running a high performance email list site such as this one. With the annual support from the List members through the PBS-like Fund Raiser, I have found I can run the entire site without having to inflect any of the members with those annoying banner ads flashing up all the time trying to sell little-blue-pills or other garbage nobody wants or needs. From the comments I've received over the years regarding the Lists, the great majority of the members really appreciate the non-commercialism of my List systems and don't mind my 'go-team-go' banter once a year during November to encourage members to support the Lists. I believe that the Lists services that I provide here offer many benefits over the commercial equivalents in a number of ways. The first feature I believe to be significant is that you cannot receive a computer v*rus from any of these Lists directly. Each incoming message is filtered and dangerous attachments stripped off prior to posting. I also provide a Photo and File Share feature that allows members to share files and bitmaps with other members and everyone can be assured that these files will be prescanned for any sort of v*rus before they are posted. Safe and simple. Another very important feature of this system in my opinion is the extensive List Archives that are available for download, browsing, and searching. The Archives go all the way back to the very beginning of each List and with the very fast Search Engine, the huge size of some of the Archives is a non-issue in quickly finding the data you're looking for. And added just this year is the new Email List Forum that allows members who prefer the Web BBS-style of List interaction. The beauty of the new List Forums is that they contain the exact same content that is distributed via email. Messages posted via email are cross-posted to the respective Forum and vice versa. The Forums also allow for another convenient method of sharing pictures and other files. Additionally added this year is the new List Wiki that allows members to build their own "Online List Encyclopedia" of sorts, documenting various aspects of their project for all to share. I've been running email Lists and services under the matronics.com domain since about 1989 starting with RV-List and 30 guys I knew and who where also building RVs. It has grown into nearly 70 different aviation-related Email Lists and an associated web site that receives over 23,000,000 hits each year!! Additionally, the List Email system forwarded well over 87,000 postings last year, accounting for an unbelievable 39,000,000 (yes, that's 39 MILLION) email messages delivered to Matronics List subscribers! I think there's a lot of value in supporting a service that has gone the long haul and is still providing and improving a high quality service all _without any advertising budget_! I have to admit running these Lists is a labor of love and I hope it shows in the quality of the experience that you receive when you get a List Email Message, Search the Archives, use the List Browser, or surf the Forums and Wiki sites. The Lists will be here for a long time to come. If you just want to lurk a while for free, that's great and I encourage you to do so. If you use, appreciate, and receive value from these Lists, then please support them during the Annual List Fund Raiser! List Contribution Web Site: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Thank you, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator

    Subject: Fuel line question
    Look at this picture if you would please: http://rvflying.tripod.com/fuel1.jpg This is the small fuel line instead of the called out longer one. My issue, the instructions call a 45 degree fitting to come out of the carb. If I use that, the fuel line passes right over the exhaust. The 90 degree fitting parallels the exhaust but still is within an inch. In addition, as you can see in the picture, the fuel line make a 90 degree "curve" that "just ain't right". More here, the firesleeves rubs the engine mount which will not viabrate. Suggestions or "ID'ers" Could someone please post a link showing there fuel line run from the mechanical fuel pump to the carb. I need to get this firewall forward stuff done as the painter just called to say he painted the flying surfaces BLACK over the weekend!!

    Hi Dana, I can't post a picture right now, but I ended up running mine forward with a loop right over the airbox before going to the back. I did have a fuel flow txdr in the line but it was behind mounted on the throttle bracket from vans just like yours. This was still close to the exhaust, but not as close.

    Hi Listers, I am new to Texas so everywhere I go is a new adventure. I am planning a trip from north east Texas to San Diego during the Christmas holidays. It appears this route takes me over lots of restricted area in NM. Is there a preferred route that others take this direction? I will need to include fuel stop in there as well somewhere. Any recommendations welcome. Thanks Tim Bryan RV-6 Do Not Archive

    Hi all, I was looking for an Recreation Vehicle List that I used to belong to yesterday and this was the only hit on Google. By the Navigator this list seems to be about aviation and/or building your own RV. This would have been a great list for my Dad who was a WWII Army Air Corps pilot, but it may be above my head. -- fondly yours, Corlee

    Dana, IMHO, I don't see a problem with what you have already. The 90 degree sweep is OK. The only thing you can do is shorten up that hose so that it angles up from the carb to the pump. Or, make it longer so that it can go outboard of the engine mount near the gear leg.

    St Johns, AZ, has the least expensive fuel in the area and is about halfway to San Diego. The airfields in San Diego are easily approached from the east and I'll buy you lunch if you stop in Yuma.

    As far as fuel stops go, here are some ideas: Double check these prices and DO NOT ARCHIVE KSJN - St. Johns, AZ is always among the cheapest. Currently $2.90 according to Airnav. KCGZ - Casa Grande, AZ is $3.08. KCHD - Chandler, AZ is $3.16. L35 - Big Bear, CA is $3.10. http://www.airnav.com/fuel lets you scope out fuel prices along the route (and sometimes not-so-along the route), if you're on a budget like the rest of us. ;-) )_( Dan RV-7 N714D www.rvproject.com / www.weathermeister.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Bryan" <n616tb@btsapps.com> Sent: Monday, November 20, 2006 6:29 AM Subject: RV-List: Route through NM > > Hi Listers, > > I am new to Texas so everywhere I go is a new adventure.

    Dan, what you have should work fine with the addition of at least one heat shield on the exhaust tube near the carb inlet. If it were me I would use a longer hose that would pass behind the engine mount cross over tube and I would take the fuel pressure right at the carb (the port right above the inlet), but this is just because that is the way I did it and it works good. -- Harry Crosby RV-6 N16CX, 289 hours -------------- Original message -------------- From: linn Walters <pitts_pilot@bellsouth.net> > > Dana, IMHO, I don't see a problem with what you have already.

    If you mean the TX Panhandle, for the smoothest ride, stick to I 40 until past ABQ, then to St. Johns, then direct Casa Grande and follow I-8 the rest of the way...being careful about the jog in the border at Yuma. On the other hand, if you mean somewhere N of Dallas, go straight to ELP, with a dogleg for Guadalupe Pass, follow I-10 to Casa Grande, then I-8. Do not attempt to go through White Sands Missle Range, even if you find the 0.06% of the time that it isn't closed, because the sharp peaks cause moderate to severe turbulence that you don't want any part of.

    Thanks to all who posted on this as it helped me get a perspective. It looks like a little jogging, but not bad if I plan: 3TX1 to PEQ (fuel stop) PEQ to CGZ via ELP (Fuel Stop) CGZ to SDM Looks like I can miss the restricted, and hopefully the pass.

    Subject: Re: Fuel line question
    Dana, is the fuel line long enough to go behind the mount bar that it is touching? If you could tun the fitting on the fuel pump more toward the rear and run the line behind the mount it looks like it might fit better. If it will not then I would shorten the fuel line a little and go with the setup you have. I have a fuel flow meter on mine I used the 45 degree fitting and I had to make two new hoses to make it all fit right, also put the heat sheild on the exhaust: http://webpages.charter.net/bobbyhester/images/P4290609sm.jpg Dana Overall wrote: > > Look at this picture if you would please: > > http://rvflying.tripod.com/fuel1.jpg > > This is the small fuel line instead of the called out longer one.

    Subject: Route through NM
    Sandia airpark 1N1, just east of ABQ, is a fun place to stop. The lady at the desk is a hoot. My son slept on night at KAEG - Double Eagle II Airport. He said it is a first class place. Winslow is a good airport, but is doses not mean "Wind is Low" especially in the summer. Meteor crater is just past Winslow. Sadona is just south of Meteor Crater if you are interested in a aircraft landing type approach. Actually I have enjoyed most places I landed in the West. > I am new to Texas so everywhere I go is a new adventure.

    Subject: Re: Fuel line question
    Thanks Bobby and all. I used the longer fuel line since the thought on the forum us the curve is OK. It worked much better going behind the mount.

    Not sure about points farther east but exercise care in the Eloy, AZ area (E60)-much parachute activity there, so don't overfly. Also, east of Brown Field (SDM) there is skydiving both north and south of V317. I'd suggest you join that airway by the time you pass over Reider Ranch (CA75).which is just outside of San Diego's TCA. Check your chart-lot's of parachute and soaring activity in SoCal.
