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 RV-6A N716K PHX, AZ Sherman Butler RV-7a Wings Idaho Falls --------------------------------- ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:42:09 AM PST US From: Ron Schreck Subject: RV-List: Firewall shields 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!

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. Dean Psiropoulos RV-6A N197DM Last of the wiring. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:31:44 PM PST US From: "Bill Boyd" Subject: Re: RV-List: Firewall shields 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. -Bill B On 7/23/07, Ron Schreck wrote: > > > > 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.
