    Subject: RE: RV-List Digest: 14 Msgs - 07/17/07
    From: "EXT-Allen, David" <david.allen@boeing.com>
    I'm looking for ideas on how to block the air draft around the aileron pushrods where they go from the fuselage to the wing. Does anyone make a kit? What material would be appropriate? Is it really needed in the midwest winters?

We had a guy just build a hangar at MNM and came up against the same BS. What he did is have his electrician wire just one overhead light, well removed from where any airplane would get 10 ft away, and then had it inspected. Once he didn't see the inspector's tailights, up went more lights. One other thing....At least in MI, if you install lights that are inclosed with some sort of diffuser, then the 10 ft rule does not apply. In other words, a bare bulb type of light is what they get bent out of shape about.

I back the screw out 4 turns or so and start there. If it won't run at idle (starts on prime and will run with more prime) then back it out a couple more. If it smokes (black) then it's too rich and you need to turn it in a couple. Once it runs smooth, then look for a 50 to 100 RPM rise as you slowly move the mixture to idle cutoff. You also need to get the idle RPM down around 700 for starters. The reason, I think, that ther's no info is that all carbs aren't created equal .... at least in the idle circuit.

    Subject: Hangar building code issues
    From: "Chuck Jensen" <cjensen@dts9000.com>
    A little off subject, but since Charlie mentioned "special VFR", I recall a while back before I got my IFR ticket that one morning I was waiting to hop over the mountains from Knoxville TYS. There was a low layer of wispy fog laying over the area that was just thick enough to be below MVFR. I talked to the tower and they said it might clear in a half hour or so. When I called about 15 minutes later to see if it had improved, the tower wondered, in a slow, methodical query, if there was anything "special" I would like request. Being denser than a rock and dumber than a stump, it was only later that I understood what he was hinting at. Yes, they can accommodate, but they can't offer. However, bureaucrat can offer, but usually don't...unless you ply them with enough donuts to go with their early morning coffee, mid morning coffee and before lunch coffee!

We had a guy just build a hangar at MNM and came up against the same BS. What he did is have his electrician wire just one overhead light, well removed from where any airplane would get 10 ft away, and then had it inspected. Once he didn't see the inspector's tailights, up went more lights. One other thing....At least in MI, if you install lights that are inclosed with some sort of diffuser, then the 10 ft rule does not apply. In other words, a bare bulb type of light is what they get bent out of shape about.

I back the screw out 4 turns or so and start there. If it won't run at idle (starts on prime and will run with more prime) then back it out a couple more. If it smokes (black) then it's too rich and you need to turn it in a couple. Once it runs smooth, then look for a 50 to 100 RPM rise as you slowly move the mixture to idle cutoff. You also need to get the idle RPM down around 700 for starters. The reason, I think, that ther's no info is that all carbs aren't created equal .... at least in the idle circuit.

    Jeff, what exactly is the jurisdisction? I can check with my buddies and see if a friend can be contacted in the local area that knows teh personalities involved. The inspector has a boss, she/he may interpert it differently, or other sections of the code my apply. What type of fuel? If it is wood then a ten feet stack or a spark arrestor may be required. It will make little diferance if it is a hangar or storage shed (hangar is french for shed, IBC is Internatational Building Code.).

    Subject: Who's posting from OSH?
    From: "Bob Collins" <bcollinsrv7a@comcast.net>
    (cross posted) I know Doug Reeves has arranged a wireless upload for his stuff every day from Oshkosh, but I'm trying to get a list together of everyone -- anywhere -- who's posting on a daily (or near daily) basis from Oshkosh, be it Web sites, blogs, photo uploads etc. Please post the URL here. If you intend to wait until you get home to put something together, please let us know that as well. I usually try to do a RV Builder's Hotline article that incorporates everyone's sites and I don't want to miss anyone. Thanks -------- Bob Collins St. Paul, Minn.
