You can bet absolutely none. They would have been excused by the plaintiff.
You think they would have wanted any of us on there.

27 Years of the RVator will be available in early April. This year, besides
as a book, it will also be available on a fully searchable CD.
The book is getting fatter and fatter, and regardless of how much care we
take to organize the articles in what we think is the most logical way,
there are still many times when certain important pieces of information are
not easily found. As a CD, or as an e-Book, you simply search for what you
need (for example exhaust systems) and you are directed to every article Van
has written on the subject, regardless of whether we put it in Engine
Installation chapter, or Powerplant Operation, or Safety Notices, or
Options, or wherever.
SPECIAL OFFER
As we've still got about 100 copies of the 24 Year Book on the shelf, here's
an offer while they last. Order a copy of the 24 Year book today from the

Year CD when it becomes available in April. Just write in the special notes

Subject: RV-List: RV-7A N174JL has a new owner...
Just thought I would inform you that my RV-7A, N174JL has a new owner.
After posting a recent For Sale ad on the SoCAL and RV-List, it took
only hours before I was contacted by Chuck Olsen, USAF Major from
Edwards AFB, resident of Tehachapi, CA, (and MANY others) who were
interested in the plane. Chuck drove 2.5 hrs to Camarillo prior to the
Super Bowl, 4 FEB, inspected the plane, went for a ride, and made me an
offer I accepted. Chuck is a Global-Hawk drone pilot, C130 Gunship
Navigator at Edwards AFB, first-time aircraft owner, and a great guy!
Chuck and I completed an annual inspection this past Saturday, and put
N174JL back together. It was Saturday afternoon when the winds had died
down, and we planned to take a few laps around the field here at
Camarillo and perform a few touch & go's. Wouldn't you know it... the
FLAP MOTOR decided it didn't want to work (flaps were extended) and we
were grounded! The flap motor had worked flawlessly up until now and
had been cycled at least 4+ times during the annual inspection!!! A
quick call to Gregg Healy (RV-7A builder at CMA) and he allowed me to go
to his hangar early Sunday morning, remove his flap motor in his
'not-yet-flying' RV-7A, then I pulled the flap motor from N174JL, and
had the new motor ready to be installed as Chuck was arriving around
0830! Wheeeeewwww.... what a chore! (Thanks Gregg... your new,
replacement flap motor is on order from Van's).
Chuck and I did a few touch and go's at Oxnard Airport (KOXR) Sunday
morning and then returned to CMA to meet his co-pilot Jim who has an
RV-6A with a Subaru installed. At approx. 1115, Chuck and Jim departed
KCMA in N174JL and she was off to her new home in a hangar at Tehachapi,
CA (KTSP). Falcon Insurance required a 3-hour check-out in N174JL for
Chuck so Jim was performing that duty after I climbed out of the right
seat...
N174JL was just one-month short of being 2 years old. First flight
was on 3/17/2005 (see
http://www.jacklockamy.com/N174JL_First_Flight_Video.wmv). She had
260.3 wonderful hours on the tach and hasn't missed a beat! Great
airplane but I am doing LOTS of cross-country flight these days on
business and have decided to go into a partnership in a 2003 Cirrus
SR20. My new partner also has an RV-3A for local, fun flights but it
may soon be for sale to make room for a possible Harmon Rocket project
(I still have all my tools and LOVE to build airplanes...).
Please welcome Chuck Olsen, his wife Carla, and N174JL when you see
them flying in the SoCAL area.... You guys (and gals) have been
wonderful and I'll see you all on a ramp around the area soon I'm
sure...

*Just wondered if anyone has modified there aft fairing to fiberglass.
My aluminum fairing doesnt seal at all and Im thinking of notching it,
bending each notch to fit the fuse, then glassing over the "teeth"
made by notching the original al.
Im thinking about weaving a glass strip around each tooth, one on top,
the next underneath in an attempt for cohesion. I guess I'll drill
a bunch of holes in the teeth as well.
Any suggestions?

Carefully cut a small hole in the center of the instrument hole. Use a
razor blade to cut man slits from the small hole ALMOST to the panel
cutout. Fold the pie-shaped oiece over on the back of the panel and
stretch it before you press it down. Trim the points off with the razor
blade.

| Subject: | Re: Impulse coupler mag and electronic ignition at startup |
I have a Jeff Rose (AKA Electroair) ignition and an impulse coupled mag.
My starting procedure is to turn on the fuel pump, pump the throttle
once, then take care of all of the buckling in and pre-start stuff while
the fuel (hopefully) evaporates into the intake system. Then, I turn the
EI and the mag to "hot" and hit the start switch.
My airplane is usually hooked up to a battery tender which maintains a
good charge on the battery. This is important because low system
voltage (like experienced when starting with a less than fully charged
battery) *may* cause the EI to lose track of crank position and fire at
a bad time, causing kickback.
Some folks turn the mag on, hit the starter, and then energize the EI
once the starter has the prop rotating. This is an alternate way to
avoid the low voltage/kickback scenario with the EI.
In the winter, I typically preheat with a sump heater for anywhere from
15 minutes to several hours, depending on if I set the heater on a timer
or if I plugged it in when I arrived at the airfield.
Hope this helps.

For those of you that have one impulse coupled magneto and a single
electronic ignition. Which one are you using on engine startup and what
is your startup procedure?
Thanks

0-320 Lycoming and I turn both Magneto and Electronic Ignition on after
engine has turned three blades on the starter - almost instant start
with no kick back in 450 hrs.

Lightspeed Plasma II + Slick 4371 impulse-coupled mag on my IO-360-A1B6.
Both ON at startup.

I have an impulse coupled mag and a Lightspeed on my RV-6A. I start
with both. 850+ hours, no problems.
I understand there are compatibility issues between the Lightspeed and
the use of the Flyweight starter (which I have on my RV-10 - under
construction). As I understand it, the problem is apparently caused by
the huge engine-start current surge into the Flyweight causing the bus
voltage to drop, causing the Lighspeed to fire at the wrong time. So,
for my RV-10, I'll have a small (2-3 Ah) battery just for the the
Lightspeed, fed from the main bus via a diode. This'll isolate the
Lightspeed from plunging main bus voltage.

Jeff,
I fabricated my fairing completely out of fiberglass - for similar reason
s. I didn't do the best job of shaping the canopy frame and I couldn't ge
t the aluminum to fit nicely. The fiberglass came out just fine.
If its any help - I used transparent duct tape (more flexible than the re
gular kind) to bridge the gap between the turtle deck and the canopy to f
orm the "mold". I used lots of short strips side by side. I then applied
mold releasing wax and started laying up. Overall it came out pretty well
.
I can get you some pics if its helpful.

Like the lawsuit we've been discussing ad nauseum for a month here Mike:
Neither XM nor Sirius would exist today if it weren't for several "insanity"
factors: schiesters on Wall Street enabling the sales and puffing up the
stock, their partners in crime at the brokerage houses looking for the next
commission, the Ivy League educated financial analysts who "know everything"
and can make a stock move just by upgrading or downgrading it. And....for
the piece de resistance, the gullible PEOPLE who think that every new whiz
bang technological marvel is going to make them millions if only they buy
some stock in the company (a holdover from the dot com days).
It costs upwards of $100 million dollars to buy and launch a single
communications satellite these days. Even Iridium (Sat Phone), a consortium
of big companies with deep pockets (Motorola et al) went broke. Now the
lucky people who picked up the company at fire sale prices are actually
making money with it. Neither of these companies either together or apart
will ever likely make money. It will be the lucky suitor of the bankruptcy
asset sale that will actually be able to make it work, and then only because
the purchaser didn't not have the huge upfront costs to deal with and the
purchase will come with an already installed base of subscribers and
hardware. So....who wants to pool their money with me to buy the company
after the merger (when it goes bankrupt) :-)?

Impulse Mag on left, Jeff Rose on right. Start on left and as soon as
engine starts, which is usually 2-3 blades, turn on the Jeff Rose. The
0-320 always cranks right up.
