    Well gee, that's not true either. ONLY the Airworthiness Certification cares about the "51% rule" as Kevin noted. The Repairmans Certificate can be issued to only one builder per aircraft but doesn't require any specific level of participation. In group builds, one member of the group can get the RC. I think the FSDO has to make a judgment on whether the person is qualified for the RC, i.e. they built enough and have enough knowledge to maintain it. If they use the 51% as a limiting criteria they are making their own rules.

    This is not quite accurate. The 51% rule has nothing to do with the repairman's certificate. In order to qualify for the RC, the applicant must demonstrate to the FSDO that they are qualified to safely perform the condition inspection. 51% of the build is not necessarily a requirement, since as Kevin says, many projects are hand me downs.

    The regs offer two choices: -in a partnership, only one member of the partnership may apply -in a solo build, the the builder must have built the "majority" of the airplane If the airplane is in a "quick build" state, the person who finishes it could say he built the majority. But if the airplane were nearly finished, you could register it (the 51% rule would apply), but you couldn't say you built the majority. I don't know if you could call it a partnership, either, if the other "partner" who did most of the work is unavailable. -J On Aug 6, 2007, at 9:52 AM, Greg Young wrote: > Well gee, that's not true either.

    BUT...I believe if the builder who registers it can't prove HE did a majority, he will NOT be able to get the coveted repairman's certificate...but he can get it licensed.

    He will most likely be asked to prove he built a majority through photo evidence (with HIM in the photos)...and/or a builders log (in which case he would have to have time logged and if he fudged the numbers, he could be looking at Federal "Pound You in the A**" Prison...not a promising outlook ;) do not archive Scott http://corbenflyer.tripod.com/ Gotta Fly or Gonna Die Building RV-4 (Super Slow Build Version) scott bilinski wrote: > Dont ask dont tell? > > Scott Bilinski > RV-8a > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: bill newkirk <wwnewkirk@yahoo.com> > To: rv-list@matronics.com > Sent: Monday, August 6, 2007 6:58:01 AM > Subject: Re: RV-List: FW: RV4 Project for sale, including engine, > tools, instruments > > BUT, what does matter, is that a person who builds less than 51% > himself would not qualify for a Repairmans Certificate. > > Bill Newkirk > Fresno, CA > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Kevin Horton <khorton01@rogers.com> > To: rv-list@matronics.com > Sent: Monday, August 6, 2007 5:05:25 AM > Subject: Re: RV-List: FW: RV4 Project for sale, including engine, > tools, instruments > > > On 5 Aug 2007, at 19:41, john@jallenplace.com wrote: > > > > > Jack Gageby, a long time RV-4 builder, suffered a debilitating > > stroke last year.

I'd rather not contend with any more mountain flying than necessary since I am a flatlander! Also, is anyone familar with either Gnoss Field (DVO Novato), or San Rafael (CA35)? San Rafale would be closer and more convenient to Fairfax, but it is private. I'll probably be staying in the area for about a week. Tips, comments, insight, advice all welcome.

I would consider an internal cover of some sort, not an external one.

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.

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?

    Tim, She said she'd make 'em for $80 plus shipping. Takes at least 3-4 hours depending on what lettering. Van's wants less but these would personalized with your N#, name, city or whatever fits. They are heavy duty red naugahyde with black nylon straps. No little flag sticking up like Van's, though. Mine were made just a little big and they squish down slightly for a snug, birdproof fit. If interested, send an offline email address and she'll figure out letters & colors. Greg On 8/4/07, Tim Bryan <n616tb@btsapps.com> wrote: > > Would she make some for me?

    Subject: Seeking RV6 Cross Country routing tips
    Lowest altitude route would be to follow the Interstate toward Southern California through northern New Mexico and Northern Arizona. When you get to California, I would navigate south of Twenty Nine Palms (TNP) Restricted (R-2501E & W) toward Bakersfield remaining south of the Edwards Restricted (R-2515) area then GPS direct to your destination. (TNP-PMD-EHF or KBFL) Can do this route without going over 8500. KBGD (Borger, TX) has two cars, $15 / night hangar, several hotels and reasonable fuel price. KSJN (St. John, AZ) also is LOW price fuel but NO nearby hotel that I know of. L35 (Big Bear, CA) is in the mountains (6,752 MSL) of SoCAL but typically has cheap fuel. ($3.89 on 30 July) It is nice to stop for gas at higher airports to save fuel and time climbing back to altitude. I use http://www.airnav.com/plan/fuel/ to plan low cost fuel stops. GPS direct would take you north of Las Vegas NV and put you over some mountains getting into California. (11,000 peak near Mono Lake) Gary A.

    Dave, I used to work across the street from San Rafeal and flew to work once or twice.The runway is very narrow, and usually in poor repair. I moved from the area 4-5 years ago, the residents have been trying to get it closed. At the time there wasn't any provision for transient parking, there were no services and no fuel. Gnoss (DVO) is about 8-9 mile north (freeway) and has all of the services you would need/expect. The approach to the No. runway is over some hills, and there is a large radio tower in the vicinity, so use caution if visibility is limited. while you're out there, be sure to make the 'loop' i.e. take off from Gnoss/San Rafael, go northwest towards Bodega Bay, then follow the coast line south either reaching out to Point Reyes, or following Tomales bay (San Andreas Fault) and continue down the coast to the Golden Gate cross over the Golden Gate view San Francisco off your left, Alcatraz below and then turn north east and head up towards Sausalito and San Rafael. If the weather is good , it's some of the best scenery in the country. I used to take out of towners for the same trip when we lived there.

    Subject: Priming steel nose gear leg
    I got my modified nose gear leg back today and noticed some rust. So I will clean that up and need to protect it. After spending about 30 minutes in the archives I am not certain of an acceptable approach. I have GBP 988 spray cans but some posts suggest that it has to be covered with something else. Is that correct and if so any recommendations on commonly available final coating products. Ron Lee

    Subject: Seeking RV6 Cross Country routing tips
    Hi David, Gnoss is a great airport with lots of interesting airplanes. The area is great and well worth stopping by. There's a fun winery with a huge selection of other products as well just up the hill. A nature preserve is located next to the airport. The winds can be "interesting". If the conditions allow landing I'd recommend it. It's not located very close to anything though. You'll definitely need a car. I'd be sure to check that you can obtain one once you land.

I'd rather not contend with any more mountain flying than necessary since I am a flatlander! Also, is anyone familar with either Gnoss Field (DVO Novato), or San Rafael (CA35)? San Rafale would be closer and more convenient to Fairfax, but it is private. I'll probably be staying in the area for about a week. Tips, comments, insight, advice all welcome.

The screw will be stronger than an aluminum rivet, and it won't require a compatible rivet set like the AN470AD8 will. -- Tim Lewis -- HEF (Manassas, VA) RV-6A N47TD -- 900 hrs RV-10 #40059 under construction Travis Hamblen wrote: > > I am looking for 10 either AN470AD8 or MS20470AD8 rivets (two > different part numbers for the same rivet).

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. Paul Besing Ernie & Margo wrote: 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.

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. - Louis I Willig 1640 Oakwood Dr. Penn Valley, PA 19072 610 668-4964 RV-4, N180PF 190HP IO-360, C/S prop ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 12:21:57 PM PST US From: "David Leonard" Subject: Re: RV-List: Something We Really Need 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. -- David Leonard Turbo Rotary RV-6 N4VY http://N4VY.RotaryRoster.net http://RotaryRoster.net On 8/5/07, Louis Willig wrote: > > > Hi gang, > > Many of us have problems with the expense, and availability of > hangars for our RV's.
