    Spoken with the passion of a true convert. Question is...what took you so long? Six years you say? Good Gawd man, were you that conflicted? Still, you did manage to see the light and in the end, that's what counts. You were hungry and now you are filled. Your were thirsty, and now you are slaked. Personally, I waited about 3 whole weeks after Darla first flight to place an order for a new tail kit. Like you, I revisited some of the sacrosanct tenants of conventional RV builder wisdom enshrined within these archives and other hallowed places. Primer? Only sparingly. Tailwheel? Sure...why not? Slider or tipsy....no brainer. Engine?....one designed for an airplane. One thing though. Don't be too hard on those folks who think matched hole construction is the only way to build an airplane. There is something to be said for easing tedium and simplifiying a parts count. Besides, the alternative would be like explaining to your kid there once was a world without video games and cell phones. Do you really think they can long endure a world without text messaging?

    He charges $10/hr to split the gas and $130/hr for his CFI time? He is for hire, not the plane? There're a lot more tortured machinations that occur with regulations than that interpretation. But the arrangement seems like a safe, effective and reasonably economical way to encourage and enhance pilot training so, I would have to think the FAA would be against it.

Does the FAA care about SAFETY? If so, what is safer than getting someone proficient in an aircraft before they make a first flight? Given that safety is #1, any rule that works against it is not worth complying with. Ron Lee

    Nothing is ever a legal problem until something goes wrong. Say the engine fails and the paying customer gets hurt in the crash landing....a lawyer would have a field day with the CFI in court. If you ever see a lawyer walk into a courtroom smiling from ear to ear..chances are there is someone at the other table using this type of logic. I hope he is very well insured. That being said, thank god for the CFI's willing to do this. Bill > He charges $10/hr to split the gas and $130/hr for his CFI time? He is > for hire, not the plane?

    Subject: Engine timing
    List, I just did my first annual condition inspection. When I checked the timing I referenced the Lycoming Operators Manual, under specifications, and set the timing to the 20 degrees that it called for. On a ground test run I was not happy with the way it ran and suspected the timing was incorrectly set. A search of the list archives and a check of the Lycoming web site offered no help. So...I made a quick call to Lycoming and the advice I got was "what does it say on the data plate"? Duh! I felt a bit stupid but there it was, plain as day, "25 degrees". I just wanted to get this in the archives so the next guy won't have the same problem. Steve Struyk St. Charles, MO RV-8, 74 hours

    Subject: Re: Colorado CFI for RV7 available
    The EAA, Small Aircraft Manufacturers Association and the National Association of Flight Instructors petitioned the FAA for an exemption to the FARs to allow flight training in experimental aircraft. Their request was granted via exemption 7162, which is currently at revision 7162D. There are numerous conditions which must be complied with: 1. The aircraft must- (a) Have been granted an experimental certificate under Section 21.191(c), (d), (g), or (h); (b) Be inspected in accordance with the provisions of Section 91.409(b) for a 100-hour condition inspection, or, for turbine-powered aircraft, in accordance with an FAA-approved inspection program that meets the scope and detail of the requirements of Section 91.409(e), (f)(4), and (g); (c) Be operated and maintained, including a yearly condition inspection, in accordance with the FAA-approved operating limitations; and (d) Have completed phase I flight testing and be operating in phase II in accordance with the operating limitations made a part of the airworthiness certificate issued for the aircraft. 2. All inspections conducted under this exemption must be recorded in an appropriate maintenance record with the following statement: "I certify that this aircraft has been inspected on (insert date) in accordance with Condition No. 1 of Exemption No. 7162, as amended, and found to be in a condition for safe operation." This entry must include the aircraft total time in service and the name, signature, certificate number, and type of certificate held by the person performing the inspection. Only an FAA-certificated mechanic with airframe and powerplant ratings or an FAA-certificated repairman (provided the repairman is the original builder of the aircraft) may perform this inspection and make the entry in the maintenance record. 3. Aircraft-specific training under this exemption must be provided by an authorized instructor as described in Section 61.1(b)(2) or the holder of a Letter of Operational Authority issued by the Administrator for that particular type of aircraft. 4. An aircraft-specific flight and ground training syllabus must be prepared by the instructor providing the training for use during the training program and must be made available to the Administrator upon request. The instructor conducting the training program must keep, for a period of 3 years, a record of the training given. 5. The owners of aircraft operated under this exemption must maintain a record that includes the name of the person receiving training, the date of the training, and the flight time. Such records must be kept for a period of 3 years and be made available to the Administrator upon request. 6. Persons receiving aircraft-specific flight instruction must have the endorsements required by Section 61.31(e) through (j), as appropriate, before beginning training under this exemption. 7. A copy of this exemption must be carried onboard the aircraft during aircraft-specific flight training conducted under this exemption. 8. EAA, SAMA, and NAFI must maintain a list of the authorized users of this exemption. This list must be made available to the Administrator upon request, and must contain the following information: (a) The name, address, and pilot certificate number of the user; and (b) The make, model, and registration number of the aircraft to be used.

    Subject: static line routing?
    I'm looking for missed details before I start riveting the side skins on the fuselage. One thing I can't find is the path of the static line through the seat back bulkhead (705?) & forward to the instrument panel. The area just under the main longeron looks pretty busy at F705 & I can't find any notes on where the line should be routed after the middle of the baggage compartment. What am I missing? Thanks, Charlie

    I don't think you missed anything - this was discussed a while back and the plans don't show a static line hole in F705. I drilled a 1/4" hole as far outboard and high as I could get. Due to the thickness of the material in that area, I don't see the need for a bushing to protect the static line through that hole. Then I ran it along the canopy rail.

RV-3 builders! There are not many of us around so we need to stick together. Needless to say I've just been down the road you are now starting on so don't be a stranger. I've tried to document most of the gotchas on my web site but there is still more advice to be had if you are actually building. Feel free to give me a ring directly some time, there are several of us -3 guys that talk on the phone once in a while on various issues. What part of the country are you in? Oh, I'm sure you're aware of the RV-3 forum over on Vansairforce.net, the Matronics RV-3 list doesn't seem to get much use. Glad I was able to contribute to your delinquency...

    Subject: Re: static line routing?
    FYI, Rvator had an article on this a few months back (first issue '06. Pg. 14). I scanned a copy of it and stuck it in the files section on the yahoogroup If you don't have it. It's called staticline.pdf. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RV7A/files/Newsletters%20and%20publications/ Do not archive -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of glaesers Sent: Saturday, December 09, 2006 2:47 PM Subject: RV-List: Re: static line routing? I don't think you missed anything - this was discussed a while back and the plans don't show a static line hole in F705. I drilled a 1/4" hole as far outboard and high as I could get. Due to the thickness of the material in that area, I don't see the need for a bushing to protect the static line through that hole. Then I ran it along the canopy rail. Dennis Glaeser RV7A Finishing kit ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- From: Charlie England (ceengland@bellsouth.net) I'm looking for missed details before I start riveting the side skins on the fuselage. One thing I can't find is the path of the static line through the seat back bulkhead (705?) & forward to the instrument panel. The area just under the main longeron looks pretty busy at F705 & I can't find any notes on where the line should be routed after the middle of the baggage compartment. What am I missing? Thanks, Charlie

    Subject: Re: Colorado CFI for RV7 available
    thanks for answsering this question. There was an article in sport aviation about a cfi in florida doing float and twin training in his experimental. I hope to be able to provide transition training in my plane using this exception. Im going to try to do instrument and preliminary commercial training too. Im not sure if I can yet but when i get to that point, ill do more research. If i recall correctly, the exemption is good for anything but primary training. I really dont want to start a big long debate, so lets leave it at that.

    Subject: Re: Engine timing
    Small explanation of why you have to reference the data plate. Lycoming about 30 years ago had a problem with cylinder heads flying off of a few IO-360s with very old cylinders, in cold weather, where the engine was producing more than rated power. So they decided to retard the timing for IO360s from 25 to 20, which meant the impulse coupling or retard breaker also had to be advanced 5 degrees so you still start at TDC. They did this through a Service Instruction. I don't know that they changed anything for the 8.5 compression engines like the O-360. On most newer IO360s you will find 20 degrees called for, but older ones take 25(and produce more power). Steve Struyk wrote: > List, > > I just did my first annual condition inspection.
