| Subject: | Re: Aircraft on ground - need help in Denver area. |
I will be flying for ID to OK spending Thurs night in Denver with my son, and proceeding
on Fri. morning. I am planning on landing at Centennial or Jeffco. I
can divert to Roxie in the Bonanza.
Hi Guys & Gals,
My RV-6A stuck a valve on the way to OSH and I made an emergency landing at
an airport in Hoxie, Kansas. All went well for my first real emergency
landing and I have a new cylinder on the way to get the plane airworthy.
I have a request from a fellow RV pilot in the Denver area. I'm looking for
a ride from the Denver airport (or Front Range airport) to the Hoxie, KS
airport (1F5). I will be in Denver on Friday the 27th around noon at DEN.
I will gladly pay all expenses for a ride (car or plane) to the field in
Hoxie.
This is the only part of the repair and retreival I have yet to work out, so
any help would be appreciated.
Please contact me via email: kbob@cox.net or cell phone 602-448-3518.
Thanks everyone,
Kelly Patterson

Dean,
I used a few wraps of exhause wrap around my wire bundles and then a bit of RTV
to anchor them firmly in the firewall shield. Works great! Checkk out the link

Question on stainless steel firewall shields. I'm using two of them, one
covers my EGT/CHT harness (8 cables each containing two individual insulated
thermocouple wires surrounded by a yellow or brown cover of, I believe,
tefzel). The second one covers my VM-1000 sensor cables (half dozen 4
conductor with foil shield and tefzel outer cover).
The CHT/EGT hole in the stainless firewall has a plastic busing installed
and the harness fits through this bushing slightly snug and the firewall
shield just fits around the whole thing without having to squeeze the shield
against the wires.
The sensor cables make use of a hole I originally cut through the firewall
for an eye-ball control cable mount. The hole is quite large and a bushing
would still leave the harness not centered in the firewall shield and
sitting on the thin firewall shield material.
I've cleaned up the shear marks and smoothed the edges on the firewall
shields but am still a bit nervous about the thin material chaffing the
wires, especially the large sensor wire hole. Any thoughts/ideas on this?
Am I being too paranoid? Since we can no longer procure asbestos to make
gaskets to go under the shield what is everyone doing here? Are you using
some sort of grommet over the edges of the stainless shields to protect your
cables from chaffing....or? Thanks.

Excellent ideas for SS tubing and firesleeve pass-thru's on the
Aero-Electric matronics list. That;s what I'll be retrofitting to when I
get the chance.
