Depending on the application, a 1/4" round head steel screw and nyloc
nut might be an easier solution. The screw will be stronger than an
aluminum rivet, and it won't require a compatible rivet set like the
AN470AD8 will.

I would personally never use a canopy cover for extended periods of time. Over
night maybe, as long as you aren't in a dusty environment. Any dirt under the
cover and when the wind blows, and all of a sudden you have microscratches all
over your canopy. I would consider an internal cover of some sort, not an
external one.

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)

Hi gang,
Many of us have problems with the expense, and availability of
hangars for our RV's. At over $400/month for a "T" in the
Philadelphia area if you could even find one, I and several others
have discussed tie down solutions. None of which are palatable. Any
one who ties down his/her aircraft outside will have to find a
temporary hangar in which to do repairs and maintenance. That's OK,
do-able. But few of us live in a geographical area that is
acceptable for long-term outside storage in terms of heat cold and
moisture. I have recently spent some time in the almost perfect
weather of Albuquerque and Santa Fe, and still find them only
marginal for long term outside storage of an RV.
What many of us really need is a solution that consists of some sort
of shell that covers and protects our aircraft, can be removed
easily, and would be acceptable to the airport and insurance
companies (We don't want the thing blowing away and damaging other
aircraft). Do any of you on this list have any ideas how to create
the "Tie Down Hangar" I am conceptualizing? It would be worth a
fortune to the person who can create and provide a secure "Tie Down
Hangar" that the airport would find acceptable.

I'm with you, we really do need something (not really an entirely new idea
I'm sure). One problem is that my airport will not allow any kind of a tarp
or awning. Whatever it is would have to be entirely supported by the
aircraft itself...
I have been thinking about some sort of tarp that will cover the canopy area
supported by clamps on the wings or fuselage. But a reasonable design
escapes me.

=0A=0AJack Gageby, a long time RV-4 builder, suffered a debilitating stroke
last year. It is apparent that he won=99t fly again. That=99s
a tough break for Jack, but leaves an opportunity for someone to take over
his RV-4 project.=0A=0AHis wife has asked me to help sell the -4, which is
currently located at Fallon (FLX) near Reno, NV. The airframe is in a stage
roughly equivalent to a Van=99s =9Cquickbuild=9D. There
is an O320-E2D first run engine core with accessories and logbooks. There i
s also a radio and a number of instruments.=0A=0AMy thinking is that this w
ould be an excellent way for someone to walk into an RV4 project at a
=9Cquickbuild=9D level without having to separately acquire an eng
ine or tools. The project is at a point where the builder could legitimatel
y claim to be under the 51% rule and receive the benefits thereof.=0A=0AMy
guess is an appropriate price would be in the $25k range for the airframe,
instruments, kit, and tools. We would also be willing to entertain offers o
n the separate components, though we have no interest in separating the air
frame kit itself. =0A
