Anyone have any pictures of Chuck Spencer's RV-8 Serendipity? Nice RV8 with a
WWII olive drab, silver, yellow combo with painted on exhaust stacks and some
nose art.
If so, could you send me a link to them or email them to me privately. I'd appreciate
it as I'm trying to come up with my final paint scheme myself.
thx,
lucky

My plane is not yet painted. I want to put wing walk material on after I
get it painted, but looks like it might be a while. Anybody know what works
best as a temporary material that will come off easily when time to paint?
Thanks

Most home centers sell tape with a rough surface on one side. It would
probably be a good temporary solution for you.

I've seen people use the wide electrical tape, not the
plastic stuff, the type that looks as if it has nylon
or cotton material in the tape. It was very durable,
showed people where to step and made the surface not
slippery when wet. I guess it did its job... ;-)

I saw a Lancair IV-P driver use what looked like a bathtub mat. It had
suction cups on one side. He slapped it down on the wing, got in, then
reached over and removed it. No drag, nothing permanent.

Listers,
I have on Ebay or for sale directly to RV'ers a NEW United Instruments
True Airspeed Indicator, pn 8125. This instrument was never installed
and is in perfect condition. Item was purchased less than 1 year ago. I
no longer have the paperwork for it. It would go nicely in an
experimental aircraft. The speed range is 0 - 250 mph or 215 knots.
There are no markings for flap range, caution range or redline. The
instrument size is 3 1/8 in. Cost new for this item is well over $400 at
Aircraft Spruce. I am selling it for $325. Please contact me off-list. I
can be reached at sbrown@ginnracing.com
Cheers!
Scott

Tim, I've used a vinyl sign making product from 3m. Instead of a
smooth color, they make a frosted type that simulates etched glass. It has a
textured surface that gives some grip. It lasts a long time, takes abuse and
removes fairly easy (it's opaque). I use it for protecting painted surfaces
as well.
Another product that comes in handy is the carpet protector, sold at
home depot-lowes. It a clear film that has a "post it" type of adhesive. So
its temporary at best, but protects well..
Part of my biz consists of a custom graphics shop, so I'm sure I've
got 3m frosted stuff kicking around. Email me off list and I'll send you a
square to test. If you decide you need some, I can precut to emulate the
wing walk. Also I can run it through our plotter to cut any shape (even cut
letters into it), just cover cost of materials.

Those of you with dual electronic ignition systems that have opted for a
backup battery: What capacity backup battery did you opt for? 3.5AH, 5AH
or what? Suggestions if you recall a battery name/number. Thanks

I used a Powersonic PS-1251FP 5.4 amp hour battery for the standby
circuit of my dual Lightspeed system. Powersonic makes a wide variety
of these small batteries in a many shapes and sizes (I think Panasonic
does also). They are cheap (something like $30-40 dollars) and seem
just fine for this type of application.

This past couple of weeks there was a posting about a replacement tailwhe
el that increases the ground clearance - its a very similar design to the
Vans one but the fork is angled downwards to increase the clearance. (Th
is is not the Aviation Products one - that's to wide to fit in a tailwhee
l pant.)
Anyone remember ?

I apologize to those who consider this type of email to be spam.
However, many of you with heavier RVs or Rockets will benefit immensely
from this new improved full swiveling tailwheel.
I won't bore you with details, but if you're not happy with the sloppy
response from your stock Van's type tailwheel, if you've ever snagged it
on uneven pavement (crunch!), or if you just want a tailwheel that can
actually accommodate a tailwheel pant. this is for you.

| Subject: | Re: antennae placement: |
> I am at the point of placing two CI-122 bent whip antennae on the
> bottom of my RV 7A. In one of his
aircraft systems CDs George Orndorff suggests that a placement
allowing a 42 inch diameter ground plane
will give best performance and range for a comm antenna. He placed
two antennas as close to the center
line as he could without placing them in the elevator tunnel. He
placed them just to the right of the center line
with the first just behind the spar and the second a couple of feet
behind. His concern with placing them, as I
have seen on some RVs, parallel to each other just in front of the
spar was that the performance might
suffer particularly to the right of the right antenna or to the left
of the left antenna where the ground plane
would only extend about eight inches. That being said I think it
probably looks nicer to have them parallel.
Questions:
When the wings are mounted do they count in the measurement of the
ground plane thus eliminating the chance
for poorer performance laterally?
Has anyone had experience that might confirm or deny parallel or in-
line antenna performance?
Thanks in advance

Don't 4get the Riverside Airshow is coming up on March 31
Those RVers who would like to are invited to come by the
Hangar (GM 1 just west of the tower) for Hamburgers and
Hot dogs. It is also a great place to view the Airshow.

Could it have been the Bell tailwheel fork? If you have the time to wait for one,
they are fantastic. One of the best pieces of machining for aftermarket RV
parts (and better than most standard RV parts) I've ever seen. Pricey, and
it might take a few months to get.
I know Vince was offering one too, but haven't seen it. Either way, the new
angle of tailwheel brackets are awesome. I love my Bell tailwheel fork. Never
thought it would make that much difference, but it really does.
