Ron,
I would recommend a two part epoxy over the GBP 988 primer. The 988 is
not formulated to be a final finish but will provide a good base for the
epoxy.

Subject: RV-List: 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.

David, St Johns (SJN) in eastern Arizona has the cheapest fuel ($3.67), a
friendly staff and free courtesy cars, with a dashboard sticker reading "Use
overdrive in high-speed pursuit". The two motels in St Johns are minimalist.
Tehachapi (TSP) has $3.99 fuel, and you can remain at low altitude while
flying over the Tehachapi pass to the north. The Apple Shed restaurant is a
short walk from the airport and has really good food. Next cheapest gas
going north is Gustine.
On the way to St Johns, consider stopping at Granbury, Texas (GDJ) for $5
hangar parking with $4 fuel and a courtesy car (and a big bunch of
experimentals). Natchitoches in Louisiana has courtesy cars, several neat
B&B's, and an old and fascinating city center. Hattiesburg, Mississippi
(HBG) is pricey but has good service, including $80 oxygen refils.
Take off at first light to avoid mid-day thunderstorms. I just came over
that route last weekend and dodging the buildups was challenging.

It's not a diagram, but it does show all the possible switch
configurations and wire colors. You can easily verify the wires to the
correct switches with an ohmmeter. I printed it out and highlighted the
switches and wire colors for easy ID.

They are made to order and should come with a diagram. Get out your ohm meter
and do a little testing and it will all make sense. Some of the switches are momentary,
some are normally open some are flap switches some are....well you get
the idea. If you contact
them you may find he has a record of it and can send/fax you a copy.

| Subject: | Float fittings, Eustace Bowhay's products still available?? |
Hi Gang:
As my fuselage comes out of the jig I'm wondering if I should install float
fittings that would allow float installation down the road. I have no
immediate plans for float flying, I just thought that that now would be the
best time to install them.
I'm wondering if Eustace Bowhays conversion kit is still available? Any body
out there know? Who would I get a hold of?
I also noticed Trey Johnson's float equipped RV-7 in the latest RVator,
anyone know how he went about mounting the floats? Better yet any one have
his email address?
Thanks for the help, Terry.

I am about to wire the tail light/strobe on the bottom of the rudder.
What is the best direction to run the wires out of the rudder and into
the back of the fuselage. I am inclined to run it out the bottom of the
rudder (maybe 1/2" up) and upward a bit (about 2-1/2") and then into the
back of the fuselage. This will allow for the twisting of the wires
during the usage of the rudder and minimize the stress on the wires in
between the vertical stabilizer and the rudder. Or should I run a loop
going upward and then back down and into the rudder and fuselage.
/\ staying away from the bottom rod end. I can also cover the
wire with the

spiral wrap to protect the cable from abrasion. Any help would be
appreciated.

The basic grip went from $150 to $175 recently. The seller had not
raised his pricing in 10 years.
One has to consider adding additional cable and any other custom item
but of the 4 units I have ordered they all came in at just over the base
price.
Rather than using his online or fax order system I always call. It
simplifies all the research required to order exactly what you need
(spacers etc...)
I am very happy with my Infinity grips.

One doesn't need a repairman's certificate to maintain an experimental,
anybody can do it.
Part 43 does not apply
R/C is only for annual cond insp priveledges and even that is tough to define
other than the required signature as no one knows what the heck an annual
condition inspection is....
Nor are there any criteria by which one would determine if any given part is
airworthy or not, so what's to inspect since it all could be good or bad
regardless of what "condition" anyone think it's in???
;{)
Do not archive, and please do not attach the rest of the stinking digest to
any replies...

Hello Jim,
Attached are photos of how I accomplished this task -- not the
prettiest, but effective. The slot on the rudder butt allows the wires
to stay put without bending stresses when the rudder is exercised. There
is about 3 layers of heat shrink protection over the wires should
excessive rubbing occur, which I will monitor. In a "static" condition,
there is little if any contact with the wires.

I was going to put a connector there, until I realized that it would just be
a flex point. I ended up drilling an opening between the tie-down mount and
the bottom hinge and using a grommet. The wire continues down into the
bottom fairing and there's a fair service loop so I can make the attachment
to the Whelen assembly outside the rear of the mount. Once in place,
there's little movement of the wire at the front of the rudder. I still
intend to install some rubber material, left over from the fairings below
the horizontal stabilizer, into the opening in the rudder leading edge. The
idea another person had of using heat-shrink tubing as anti-chafe protection
is excellent; you could also use some of the nylon woven tubing used in
bundling wires and hold it in place with a little heat-shrink. I don't
think the nylon would wear through and it would look very custom.

I highly recommend ordering a lot of extra cable length- I ordered direct
from ACS and the cable length was pretty skimpy. Probably better to get direct
from Infinity. Also be very cognizant of which pushbuttons are included, such
as momentary or on-off-on...
