| Subject: | Transitioning from a C172 to a RV-7A/9A |
Yesterday, I got an unexpected demo ride in a Diamond DA 40 aircraft
(with all the bells and whistles) at our EAA fish fry. It had a free
castering nose wheel "kind of like" the RV-7A/9A. As we were taxiing out
to the runway. I was practically pushing the rudder pedals to floor to
get the aircraft to respond to small adjustments in straight taxiing and
then had to apply the right brake to get to turn onto the taxiway. As
you Cessna 172 drivers know, this isn't so on the C172.
When we got into the takeoff roll, I felt like student pilot again as we
waddled down the runway, swinging the butt of the airplane from side to
side, trying to maintain center line. A humbling experience, needlessly
to say.
Having never taken off in a RV-7A or 9A, my question is, how does the RV
respond to rudder application as compared to a C172?
Thanks guys!

Hi,
it's easier if you look a loooong way ahead of your airplane, instead of
only a couple of yards, trying to keep the nose on the yellow line.

It is not an issue. At very low speeds you may hve to use the brake
but get a reasonable
taxi speed and you are fine. It also helps to not over correct.

Don't be too concerned about it. The problem is that the feedback loop on
the RV (or the Diamond) is different than on the 172, and your brain is
calibrated for the 172. You will re-calibrate once you start flying RV's
more frequently. More time in the Diamond might help you get used to the
free-castering nosewheel, which is definitely part of that feedback loop.
I did the exact same thing yesterday while doing a formation takeoff with a
Globe Swift while flying a friend's RV-9A. As soon as we released the
brakes, the -9A decided to go hunt rabbits. I managed to bring it back in
line, but there was a lot of butt-weaving to get there. This is after
spending the winter flying a Cessna 150... :P

| Subject: | Governor Oil Leak - update |
Many thanks for all the suggestions.
I emailed Jihostroj (maker) who said they stopped making this model in 2003
and wanted to see pictures of the oil leak.
MT Propellor (distributor) suggested using 2 gaskets. No metal plate is
needed on this governor-engine combination.
I ended up replacing the gasket (p/n MS914401, available at Spruce and
Aviall). This time I painted Perfect Seal gasket sealant on both sides of the
gasket and torqued to about 125 inch pounds. After about a hour of touch and
goes, it remains leak free.
I sprayed dye penetrant developer on the governor and engine to help detect
the leak. Spraying through a short piece of pipe helped to limit overspray.

Several asked for specs, so here they are...
As Bob Nuchols surmised, this is lighter weight than
a second battery -- 0.1 lbs plus wiring.
It uses an Linear LTC3780.

The spec sheet for the 12V supply is attached.

I have a friend (Tom) who asked the following question (below) on a
different list. Any comments/input?
At present I have purchased a Garmin 430 and a yellow tagged MX-20. I would
like to know if anyone is flying with or considering the Advanced Flight
Systems Model AF-3500 also with engine monitoring. I was also considering
the GRT Spot model since I have an MX-20 already. Any comments would be
appreciated.

[quote="imfairings(at)cox.net"]I'm looking for Robby Knox from Ricon, GA. I have
his address as 107 Paddleford Drive in Rincon. His phone number as 912-429-5761,
his email at rknox@alltel.net
He received from me a large order in February for fairings for an -8 and a -10.
The fairings weren't returned nor were the invoices. I need to talk to him
about how he is going to pay me.
If you know him tell him to shoot me an email or give me a call.
Thanks

BAD FORM!
Putting a person's information on the internet for the whole world is not appropriate.
I was thinking about purchasing your product but your lack of concern
for protecting personal information instantly changed my mind. As a businessman,
you should know of other means for contacting people other that posting their
personal information on the Internet. You are free to post your data on the
net but, you should never post someone else's data without their permission.
I don't know Robby, so I can't vouch for his charachter. I don't know if he has
defrauded you or if he has a valid reason for what's happened. Doesn't matter
though, I won't trust my business to anyone that doesn't safeguard personal information.

Guess he'll be making his own fairings, then, because Bob's are the best.

Oh well, your loss, I'm sure Bob will not miss your business. Bob is a
pleasure to do business with. He will send you your order and then
collect payment after, very trustworthy. Bob would not have posted this
if there was any chance that Robby was going to send him the money that
he should have. It is obvious that he is someone to avoid by the other
responce from someone else that never received payment that was suppose
to be in the mail. I agree with making this kind of info avaiable for
all to see. If someone is not paying for items he's buying thru the
internet, this might just help someone else from getting ripped off by
him, This is his problem not Bob's. Thanks for letting everybody know Bob.
