Subject: | Re: Firewall Bend |
Michael,
I have read the responses so far, and I must admit that I'm probably out to
lunch here. But, I didn't put a "bend" in the firewall at all. I just let it
happen on its own, and IMHO it looks fine.
Given that you have started the bend, use a piece of hardwood about a foot or
two long (to hammer lightly on) to help shape your bend in the middle. This
piece is like a mirror and will show every minor imperfection.

Hi all,
I am just starting the fuselage. There is an instruction to put an 8 degree

"sharp edged board" for the bend. It was pretty sharp at the edges, but much
more gradual in the middle. How crucial is this? Should I really work at
getting a sharp bend all the way across?

Gentlemen,
Currently I have less than 30% of our customers current e-mail addresses.
I am attempting to update our mailing lists to see if they have any questions
re their RiteAngle IIIb Angle of Attack systems. Occasionally I get a call
from someone who purchased a system several years ago and still do not have
system installed or set-up due to various reasons.
Should you have any questions, comments, photos of system installed in your
plane, endorsements or whatever re: the RiteAngle IIIb system please send it
to this address _riteangle3@aol.com_ (mailto:riteangle3@aol.com)
Thankfully, since the IIIb system has gone into production, we have had no changes
in
the electronics, however we now have a professional written setup manual.
Sincerely
Elbie

According to the article, Wayne Boggs, Sun 'n Fun's director of
operations, explains "If doing this attracts just one child to a career
in aviation, then it's worth it," he said.
Maybe what he really meant to say was "If doing this will sell just one
more ticket, then it's worth it,".
I don't think anyone is against the 'unwashed' public getting an
up-close and personal introduction to aviation, but at some point,
public safety and protection of aircrafts becomes equally, or more,
important. Curious how many pilots and aricraft owners they consulted
with prior to this decision?

I recall going with Chuck Wentworth in his TBM Avenger (we were CAF
members) to an airshow in Paso Robles many years back where the
organizers allowed EVERYONE who bought a ticket to get up close &
personal with ALL the flightline aircraft. Several family groups took up
"residence" under the shade of the TBM's wings.
I was on "patrol" during the show keeping the aircraft "safe" from
fingers & feet and selling from our portable PX.
After the show we did a complete walk around & inspected everything. We
found food wrappers, empty cans etc. stuffed in every opening. However
the dirty soiled diapers (3 on one side, 2 in the other) stuffed back up
in the wheel wells was the topper.

This is the part I don't understand. Aren't we supposed to be introducting flying,
airplanes, and pilots to "the masses" so that when the local governments
want to close our airports to build more homes, people don't say "pilots? Just
a bunch of rich, snobby, rich boys, here's the keys to the bulldozer?"
I'm sure there are stories like the ones John described below. But I also know
that the vast majority of people respect the airplanes and heed the signs thereon.
In fact, in that entire RV area at OSH last year, I don't recall seeing a
single wrapper. Maybe that side of the field is just more respectful.
I don't know what the solution is. But I think an automatic "they're the public,
therefor they shouldn't be allowed near us" is probably not the first one I'd
recommend.
The idea of staking out a rope around your aircraft might be a good start, but
I also think we need to be proactive in coming up with ways to present a better
image of who we are, why we fly, and why non-flyers should protect what we do.

Bob,
I agree whole heartedly. We do not want to treat the public as the
great unwashed and imply they unworthy of touching an plane. After all,
our ability to have airports and airplances may well rest with their
good-will.
When it comes to planes, we know that if you've seen one, you haven't
seen them all, but if one or two are available for 'hands-on' inspection
with some volunteer pilots around the exhibit plane(s) to encourage (but
monitor) close inspections and answer questions, that may sate the
curiousity of many and would add to their knowledge and appreciation
when they see other planes. It'd also be an opportunity to explain
airplane-etiguette to the unfamiliar, which will engender respect and a
personal connection.
Or, perhaps a separate flight line could be set aside with open access
to the public. The planes on that flight line would be volunteers and
the pilots encouraged to stay with the plane for the entire morning or
entire afternoon to interface with the public while keeping a watchful
eye on their craft.
There are bound to be multiple plans that could be developed and
executed that would provide a quality, but safe, experience for the
public and the pilots, rather than just making the flight line a open
cattle-call.
SNF should endeaver to do this 'with' the pilots and aircraft owners,
not do it 'to' them.

Subject: | Fuel Injection Line Run |
I've a question for anyone who has done this. I have a Bendix Fuel
Injection system installed in my RV-6A, with the servo mounted vertically
where one normally has a carb. I'm in the process of running the fuel line
from the servo to the distribution spider. I've seen installations that run
this line right in front of the sump, to a hole in the inter-cylinder
baffling and up to the spider. Using Vetterman's cross over pipes, I've
about 7/8" clearance between the pipes and the sump. Has anyone done this
and could they share pictures of their installation. Thanks for your help.

I would think a separate private parking area, perhaps for those who don't want
to have their aircraft available wouldn't be a bad idea. And, certainly, in any
case there needs to be a POP organization as at OSH.
On the whole, I'd say a major fly-in is a lousy place to go if you don't want anyone
touching your plane, though, although someday I hope to find out what it's
like to be able to fly a plane to a major fly-in. Or not. [Laughing]

I have never noticed anything around the Cardinal that we have parked on the
North Forty at OSH for the last five years. The EAA staff and members do a
great job with the pilot community and the general public keeping the
grounds and plane's safe. I think the folks looking over the RV's know what
they are looking at and understand the hard work and value of these
airplanes. I walked by the RV's for a number of years and really never
thought much about them. But sooner or later they will get you and then you
are hooked, and that is what the AOPA and the EAA are hoping for. This
certainly helps build a strong membership and a powerful organization.

having worked for many a year now at Oshkosh i can attest to the horror
stories, i have seen the wing as diaper change areas, i have seen folks
poking in fabric covered wings and caught folks stuffing coke cans in
exhausts, folding chairs stacked 4 deep against the fiberglass bodies,
broken pitot's because bags were hung from it. my winner was the guy
smoking at the flight line asking me if the avgas dripping out of a
slanted highwing was flammable. After all the years at Oshkosh i am
surprised not more gets damaged.
As for the RV area, the RV area is relatively protected as it is far,
far, away from the flight line during the airshow. It is the folks who
come for a 'spectacle' who mass along the flight line on, under and
amongst the parked planes.
if the RV area were front and center u would see the same problems
amongst the RV's.

Subject: | engine baffle safety wire |
My engine baffles were installed long ago, but I never put in the
safety wire on the underside of the cylinders that is supposed to pull
the lower ends of the baffles tight around the cooling fins. I just
stretched a string across there today and it is clear that the safety
wire would rub against one of the oil return lines. It's the same story
on both sides of the engine.
I guess I could extend the little flange of the baffle to reposition
the safety wire attach point lower, or I could rivet a little bracket of
some sort to the to the intercylinder baffle to push the wire down.
(Come to think of it, it would probably wear through anything I put there.)
Does any one have a tried and true solution to this problem? Or am I
missing something here?

I say this only HALF in jest. Ban strollers. I hate strollers. Folks are pushing
strollers, looking up and BANG...right into my ankles.
Seriously, I too have seen the crowds along the flightline. I don't think I'd park
there. Plus the atmosphere in the South 40 is wayyyyyyyy too cool to ever
want to leave.

I expect this will backfire on them. Either no one will fly in anymore
because they will worry about damage, or SNF will end up with a lot of
lawsuits for damage. I assume they will claim that they have the
appropriate security to protect planes and in doing so will open them up to
a negligence claim if something happens.
Getting the public interested in flying is all well and good, but allowing
people who have no understanding, and in many cases no respect, close to
expensive planes is probably not a good idea. I would definitely think
twice about flying in.

Hi Tom
Wire will eventually cut through the baffle tabs. If you want a nice fix
use 1/8 stainless welding rod instead of wire.
After cutting and forming, thread each end of the rod for #4 fiber lock
nuts. To allow for expansion & contraction use washers then small
compression springs between the nut and baffle flange (flanges are held
by spring pressure not nut tension). The welding rod is stiff enough
that it does not need to run straight and can be shaped to fit
under/around the oil line.

you cut it to lenght. They come with the nuts at each end. When

Did you actually type in the serial numbers in the check form? My serial

but I typed them in on the form and the results say that 3 of them are
Recalled and 1 Not Recalled, which does not make any sense to me because
they are numbered:
098 Recalled
099 Recalled
100 Not Recalled
101 Recalled

George, nice fix. However, Tom if you do want to go with the safety wire,
use a washer on the outside of the tab. This will add more meat than just
the tab and address the issue of the safety wire cutting through the tab.

Subject: | Fuel Injection Line Run |
Hi Marty,
I have the AFP fuel injection vertical system. I ran my line
from the spider down thru the baffle and then back above the inlet pipes
and then around the sump and down to the controller. I had to provide a
support where it turns from the rearward direction to the center and
downward direction. I can do some pix if you want. I'll attach some
that I already have. I found that the AFP lines were too long. I had
them provide a 45 deg. fitting and then I cut the line from the fuel pump
to the controller so it had a smooth run to the controller. The 45 deg.
fitting allowed the line to clear the tri gear mount and go nicely to the
controller.
The "battery and fuel line cable support" pix shows how I
attached the line as it came down from the spider and ran it rearward.
The "throttle cable bracket---" pix shows the hose coming from
the spider that was repositioned via a adel clamp at the back end of the
throttle support bracket. The line now runs along the gold / white
interface of the two brackets thru the adel clamp where it then turns
toward the center and then down to the fuel controller.
Maybe this will help. Lengths of hose partly determine where the
lines will run. I tried to keep them away from the exhaust system as
much as possible. I'll probably put heat reflective aluminized tape
around the critical areas where it comes close ....

Yep, that's the ticket. Simple and effective but Dan forgot his own
hint about using small washers on each end of the safety wire to keep
the wire from pulling through the aluminum baffles.
Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be.

I used a bit different method... I first riveted a doubler on the flanges,
then used a pop rivet where the safety wire goes through the flange with the
mandrel punched out. The safety wire goes through the pop rivet then.
Provides better protection from the safety wire than a washer.

I believe the plans for the baffle show a fairly heavy aluminum doubler at
those tabs. I think I used 1/8" stock.
