| Subject: | Bruce Lee-Alternatives to RV-6 |
I know this is sacrilege on the RV list Bruce but if you like the RV-6 I
suggest you consider a FALCO or GP-4. Both are plans built with performance
better than the RV-6/7/8 and more beautiful than any of the Hershey bar wing
RVs. I looked very closely at both these airplanes before finally choosing
an RV-6A. I thought an airplane kit with most of the parts already
fabricated would go together more quickly than a plans built airplane (kits
are available for the Falco but when you add up the ridiculous prices you
end with somewhere around $100,000.00, and that's just for the airframe). I
was wrong about that, it has taken 10.5 long years to do a slow build RV kit
but soon I'll be flying my Corvette with wings and I'm excited about that
(especially after getting a bunch of hours in Van's transition trainer last
month). Yes the number of RVs has gotten to be huge in the past decade but
it is an extremely stout airplane with wonderful flying qualities that is
affordable and insurable. Come to think of it, why not build an RV-7? The
matched hole kits are more affordable than any other kit on the market and
they go together quickly and easily. Good luck with solving your dilemma.

| Subject: | RV6-A kit for sale |
I have an older (not pre-punched) RV6-A tail, wing, and fuselage kit
for sale. The tail is almost complete with a few cosmetic tweaks to
do. The wing has Plogiston spars and is framed....one clecoed
together, one riveted..... the outboard leading edge of one is
riveted while the whole leading edge of the other is drilled & in
clecos....
The fuselage kit is untouched, and i do not have a finishing kit so
it is still possible to get the fuselage parts to build as a
taildragger....
I am located in Kalamazoo, MI and I'm asking $6900 for the kit.. also
would consider trades such as car, /boat....
contact # is 269 267-2509...... John Veld

| Subject: | Need source for rivet |
I am looking for 10 either AN470AD8 or MS20470AD8 rivets (two different
part numbers for the same rivet). I realize this rivet is REALLY wide
for our typical application, but I have a specific need and just can not
find a source for the rivet! The length is unimportant, as I can cut
them down to the size I need. If you have any information as to where I
can get these PLEASE e-mail me! Did I mention that once I have these
bad boys squeezed into the holes they will be filling, the plane will be
signed off and first flight will be made!! By the way, ACS and the
usual sources stop at AD6 rivets!

| Subject: | Canopy Covers - Choice of Continuos use - or Light Weight |
Would someone with experience in using both the heavy canopy cover and the
light cover like to comment on their performance.
I am considering the Canopy Cover RV-9/9A (continuous duty) at $335 and the
Canopy Cover LW-6EXT (Light Weight}at $185. Cost is not the issue. My
impression is that the the heay cover is designed to protect parked
airplanes and the light weight models are designed for travel. I plan to do
a lot of cross-country flying 12 months per year. This includes exposure to
snow and ice, desert sun, etc., a couple of weeks at a time. The light
weight cover may not measure up to the heavy duty use, but is the
"continuous duty" cover too heavy and too bulky for travelling - perhaps
50% of all flight hours. Will the Light Weight travel cover self-destruct
with winter trips in the north-east and Canada.
I would appreciate any experience or insight. Ernest Kells - RV/9A (testing
electricals / preparing for the final inspecton)

Definately the smoking airplanes system is the way to go. Probably the best
and most complete kit of any sort that I've used from any vendor in a long
time. There are a couple videos of mine on my website at:
http://www.steinair.com/videos/videos.htm
My tank is in the baggage compartment, but it disconnects so easily that it
can be removed pretty easily if need be.
Cheers,
Stein.

Hi Gary,
I had asked about model but after looking at their website it appears easy
to figure the configuration I would need. Thanks for the info.

Tim,
Van's makes a set, I'm sure you know. My wife has started making them on
her new embroidery/sewing machine. The ones for my RV-7 have our N-number
on one plug and our names on the other side. Pretty neat. We were going to
make and sell them at Arlington and but had too much fun at the airshow.
