| Subject: | Short RV6a video on YouTube |
Last week I posted a link to a RV6a flying video on YouTube. For 2 days it
was listed in the most viewed group of Autos and Vehicles. I think that is
good for our RV community so I am sharing a shorter video below.
Happy landings,

| Subject: | Molding leather help needed |
I'm considering covering the fiberglass switch panel I made with the same
leather I bought for the seats/sidewalls. The trick is the inset for the
controls so it needs to be molded somehow. Picture attached if it gets
through. I've never done anything like that before but that's part of the
fun isn't it? (gulp!) It sounds like wet-molding may work but what I've
turned up is very short on details and focuses on holsters and sheaths with
stitching and rivets, not a covering to be glued on. Has anyone done
something similar and can offer some pointers or source for more info? I'm
hoping it turns out to be simple but I'd prefer not wasting a lot of leather
to find out otherwise. Thanks

Yes ... the coils. In a refit I was planning on using Adel clamps on the
engine mount.
THanks..

Greg, If a good heat gun and some stretching in the area of the recess in the
center aren't enough to get the material to lay flat you could cut a
horizontal relief in the material in the area of the cables and cover the cut with
a
separate leather wrapped overlay of thin aluminum. Matching vinyl material if
available would be more pliable then leather. If you make pattern out of
vinyl a local upholstery shop should be able to sew the material for a custom
look but you have to be careful where you put the seam to keep it out of the
way.
