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!

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 -Rob ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 07:42:34 AM PST US From: RSamuelson@aol.com Subject: RV-List: 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.

As Bob Nuchols surmised, this is lighter weight than a second battery -- 0.1 lbs plus wiring. It uses an Linear LTC3780. http://www.linear.com/pc/productDetail.jsp?navId=H0,C1,C1003,C1042,C1116,P10090 The spec sheet for the 12V supply is attached. -bob mackey ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 03:36:05 PM PST US From: "rtitsworth" Subject: RV-List: Advanced Flight System EFIS 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.

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.
