Your local sign or T-shirt company. They can do any size and most styles (think really funky T-Shirts). Mine cost me about $10.00. It took about 30 minutes and a strong razor blade to take them off when I decided on a different design.

No experience with either, just what I read on their web site. Perhaps carried the inference about pitch reference too far. But, still curious as to what pitch is referenced to.

You seem to be citing a reference to a different instrument - the ADI. I'm confused. Does the EFIS use the ADI???

Ed ----- Original Mes ADI Bank angle is instantaneous gyro data. Pitch is gyro enhanced vertical speed. Direction is an electronic DG showing track. Extreme bank angle is enunciated by flashing red arrows which indicate required stick motion to correct unusual attitude. Low airspeed warning is enunciated by flashing A-S on the display. Solid state rate gyros for pitch and roll. ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 11:48:29 AM PST US From: Jeff Dowling Subject: RV-List: Oxygen tank fittings Anyone have a good option on purchasing the necessary fittings to connect my skyox tank to the big boys for refill? Shemp 6a > * > * ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 07:38:57 PM PST US Subject: RV-List: Match Drilling QB Skins? From: "jlfernan" A short while ago I match drilled the middle top skin to my QB 9A fuse. The holes in the fuselage were already drilled out to #40 and dimpled by the fellas from the Phillipines. I noticed after I was done that some of the holes in the fuse were slightly enlarged. I'm theorizing that because the flat skin is sitting over a dimple, and we all have noticed that dimpling a hole makes it even larger, the drill bit may not be going straight thru. My question is, since all the parts are precisely prepunched, do you really need to match drill or can you just drill the skin to the correct size and then dimple it? Can I/should I drill the skin without clecoing it the fuse. Another reason for asking is that the skin got damaged in storage and I had to order another one. Now I fear enlarging the holes even more if I match drill again. I've emailed Vans twice earlier this week but have not heard anything. -------- Jorge Fernandez N214JL Reserved 9A QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=112163#112163 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 07:44:33 PM PST US From: Vanremog@aol.com Subject: Re: RV-List: Oxygen tank fittings In a message dated 5/10/2007 11:49:31 A.M.

Jorge, The only holes that seemed to have some alignment issues when I drilled my middle top skin were the holes where the skin overlapped the side skins. This would be the dimpled QB skins. Now since you've got the j-stringers drilled, I would final size the holes on the new skin and see how it fits clecoed on.
