The tilt in the attitude indicator compensates for the fact that the
instrument panel is not vertical when the aircraft is in level
flight. The amount the instrument panel is tilted is the same on
tricycle gear and taildragger aircraft.

210 hours is not very much time on a vac pump. I think their
overhaul/replacement time is given as around 500 hours. However, having
said that, and having a couple of different couplers shear, my advice is
to order a couple of spares if you're not going to open up the pump and
look. None of my failure causes were were hard to find. The hardest
part of fixing the problem is getting the @#$% pump off/on the engine.

Remember that inside the mag, there is the set of points. One side of
the points is connected to ground and the other side is connected to the
P-Lead and one side of the coil. If the points are closed, you would
read very close to a short to ground (as you did). You might have to
rotate the engine (and I would suggest turning the prop backwards to
avoid an accidental start!). At some point, the points should open and
you would read an open with the ohm meter.

Oops, disregard my last post. Going through my Eisemann magneto service
book, it looks like no matter if the points are open or closed, you will
be reading through the primary of the coil to ground, so what you saw is
probably correct...ie a reading of 0.2 ohms or so greater than when the
switch was grounding the P lead through the ignition switch. I'll go
back under my rock now...;(

| Subject: | Post Mortem - Matronics List Pummeled By Spam... |
Dear Listers,
Over a 3-day period, Thursday 11/8 though Saturday 11/10, the Matronics Lists were
pummeled with over 450,000 spam emails causing posting delays and a few duplicate
messages. Yeah, I really said nearly half a million spams! The good
news is that I don't believe a single one of them actually made it to the Lists
thanks to the aggressive List filtering code and the Barracuda spam filter.
The bad news was that it caused quite a back log of email messages starting Friday
and continuing until late Saturday when I noticed that delivery seemed a bit
sluggish. By about 11pm on Saturday night, I had managed to get the backlog
cleared out of the spam filter by temporarily adjusting some of the filtering.
A check of the queues this morning, and everything looks like its working great
and there are no incoming filtering delays and spam levels appear to be back
to "normal".
There were a number of people asking what was going on, so I thought that I'd send
out a follow up post mortem on the event...
November is the annual List Fund Raiser. Your contribution directly enables me
to buy systems like the Barracuda spam filter that keep the List free of that
garbage. Please make a contribution to support your Lists!

Thank you!

A magneto is not like a car ignition, it is the complete circuit from ground
to ground both in the primary and secondary. So points open or closed,
p-lead open or closed will still read <1 ohm circuit to ground.
That's why a test lite won't work on timing the mag. It needs to have an
oscillator to sense the coil/condenser being grounded by the points or not.

Yup, you're right! That's why I retracted my statement and sheepishly
crawled back under my rock ;) I found my Eisemann mag service manual
and took a look at the schematic (after I first posted). Dang I hate
when that happens (got to me before my morning coffee and my brain's mag
switch was still grounded!) ;)

| Subject: | Sensenich Prop and finished, painted Van's RV spinner for sale |
I recently replaced my Sensenich 72FM8S9-1-84 on my RV-8A with a Hartzell
prop. I'm selling the Sensenich prop, prop spacer, prop bolts, spinner and
spinner SS hardware as a package.
Here are the details:
Sensenich 72FM8S9-1-84 Prop. 350 hours total on my RV-8A (O-360 A1A). I
bought it new from Van's. It is in perfect condition, never hit, never
anything,
The package includes everything to bolt on the prop and spinner on any RV4,
6, 7, or 8. The spinner was painted when I did the plane, 'Midnight Pearl
Blue" using PPG base cost/clear coat. If you don't like the color, repaint
is easy as all the pin hole work is done. The spinner hardware consists of
#8 SS flat head screws and #6 SS tinnermans drilled out and re-dimpled to #8
screw. I found using the smaller tinnermans allow for much cleaner, flush
fit along the contour of the spinner.
Package price: $1400

FWIW, I had this same model prop and also replaced it with a Hartzell. I
like the Hartzell a lot, but saw by comparison that the Sensenich prop was
very efficient, faster (but used more fuel due to higher RPM) and quieter.
In other words: the Sensenich is a very good prop.

I have an intake system from Massey Aero that I want to sell. This system converts
the stock "smiley" intake to a round intake for the engine induction only.
The system includes:
Machined AL intake
Machined AL filter mounts (2)
K&N filter
Molded glass inlet
molded filter nose piece
This is a really cool setup. I was going to use this on #25 but I'm working in
JGTDTD (Just Get The Dam Thing Done) mode so someone else can play with it.
The cost was $800 but the first $200 (OBO) takes it.

Charlie,
Here is the story on the gear leg mod from Harmon Lang. This is to go from a -2
to a -3, if you have the -1 I believe you need the new leg, I was unable to find
the price on "the list" either. You probably need to call Van's.
/"The procedure to send the nose gear for modifying.
Pack it up in a box or tube and send it to Langair Machining 33094 Church
Rd. Warren Or. 97053. A drawing for a box is on the web site. A tube from a
carpet core also works. Include $75.00 for the work and enough to ship it
back. Cash or check. We don't take credit cards. Include a return label. We
will remove it from the container, cut the 1 in off, rethread and put it
back in the same container. The rethreading is done with a carbide thread
milling tool running in a CNC mill. If you have the mill you can do this
yourself. Cutter cost and set up will only cost about $300.00 or so. Expect
the time in our shop to be about 4 days. Until we know how many there will
be, we have to set one day aside to do the batch that comes in for the week.
Please help by making the repackaging go as easily as possible. NO
CONFUSION.

Subject: For sale: Intake system
I have an intake system from Massey Aero that I want to sell. This system converts
the stock "smiley" intake to a round intake for the engine induction only.
The system includes:
Machined AL intake
Machined AL filter mounts (2)
K&N filter
Molded glass inlet
molded filter nose piece
This is a really cool setup. I was going to use this on #25 but I'm working in
JGTDTD (Just Get The Dam Thing Done) mode so someone else can play with it.
The cost was $800 but the first $200 (OBO) takes it.

| Subject: | For sale: Team Rocket wing tips |
These tips will fit the straight wing wing F1, HR2, and RV4,6,7,and8. They were
originaly sent with my kit and are approx 8 years old. They were warped a bit
and I spent a lot of time getting them fitted to my wings. In the end they needed
more work than I was willing to put into them so I bought a set of Vans tips
for #25. 20/20 hind sight says I could of had these looking pretty nice in
the amount of time it took to start over with the Vans parts. These would be
great for someone on a budget and include the clear lens for the landing/position
light but no lights.
Asking $100 OBO. Please note that these are large pieces so shipping may cost a
bit.
