Guys & Gals,
What about the efforts of a true home builder? Have we lost all of our
skills? Don't you wish you had that money for gas in the tank? Well I do.
My Plan: Cut my fork down by 1", throw a couple welds on the bottom, buy an
adjustable threading die, thread another inch of the gear leg, cut an inch
off of the gear leg, and put it back on the airplane. Total cost: under
$100. Time: a day or two. Bonus: No change in the wheel pants.
Tools req'd: hack saw, disk grinder, file, welder (will farm out), die
(purchase), die holder (purchase), threading oil, drill.

Optional source: http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNSRIT?PMAKA=03946506
I won't do this for a month or so when my annual is due, therefore I won't
have results for a while. Should be fun!

My brother has a brand new, unopened set of Camlocs that he purchased for the RV-7A.
He paid over $500 and right now the bidding is only $300 so here's a chance
to save some $$$. There are 48 Stainless Steel UNOPENED Camlocs. Obviously,
these will work on any other RV as well. Also, he has a brand new Tru
Trak backup battery for sale both on ebay.
Here's the links if anyone is interested. Might be able to save some money off
retail and still get new.

| Subject: | Re: Gear leg do it yourself |
A most excellent suggestion - I think it'd be far easier to cut & rethread
my nose gear leg in place, rather than to try to remove it. My leg was
installed TIGHT & not meant to come back out or loosen up. At the very
least, I'd have to remove the engine frame, as the gear leg bolt fit was so
tight it was driven in from below & would probably be quite difficult to
drive back out.

| Subject: | Re: Needed: Answer; Is Non-TSO Altimeter - Good for IFR? |
Hi All-
Mike: I've not heard of this customer initiative within the FAA before. This
is great news, and word really needs to be spread. Like any other aspect of life,
there are actually some really great, knowledgable, effective folks in the
FAA. Unfortunately, they are overshadowed by the uneducated bureaucratic turds
that most of us have encountered at one time or another. Putting some accountability
to the folks that hold us accountable would be wonderful. (my personal
favorite was a fed at the great lakes regional office telling me that in
order to make skydives from the 20's each jumper would have to wear an encoding
altimeter.... sheesh!)
All: Where I currently live, we seem to have some pretty good feds. When I was
trying to understand the legal requirements of my homebuilt panel as well as
what I could expect from the local FSDO, I had them point out to me that Piper
Aircraft (at least at one time) used non-tso instruments. They then showed
that the airplane as a whole met all the required performance parameters. The
only thing actually req'd to carry a TSO was any GPS to be used for terminal
ops (aproaches).
On a tangent, I have personally had issues with registering my plane. I called
EAA, they called the dept head in OKC, and the next day my problem was gone.
The bottom line seems to me to be that we have some formidable tools at our disposal.
Resources like Mike, this list, and the EAA national HQ can really make
good things happen. All we have to do is take the time to get educated and
then actually go through the required steps.

I don't think it is that easy. The gear leg is hardened and takes a
special die to cut the threads. I've read messages on one of the list
about people that have taken them to local shops and they could not cut
the threads. I think I saw a message from the guy at
http://www.langair.com/, that told someone, that the die cost about
$300. Not sure about this but you can contact him for yourself and ask.

| Subject: | Re: Needed: Answer; Is Non-TSO Altimeter - Good for IFR? |
David,
Thanks for the reply. As you can tell, I'm not a high time pilot like some
lucky folks. I'm just halfway thru my IFR ground school and all I really
wanted to do was to get home to our airport after a long VFR flight or to
get out early in a kind of foggy day where it is VFR elsewhere. I've got
the Blue Mtn EFIS one and a Dynon D10A for "backup", two alternators and a
backup battery. The nav-com is TSO'd as is the encoding transponder. My
airport has a ILS which works great on my panel. But the missed approach
includes a hold at a NDB. Although the EFIS shows the NDB, I don't have a
separate ADF radio and kind of short of panel space to put something else
in. I agree that I would be very busy if I had to do "real IFR" in a
unknown location but all I want to do is to get home to my well known
airport.
I'll keep working on my IFR and hope some possibility comes up.
Thanks again,
Greg

| Subject: | Re: Tail Wheel Training |
I did my tail wheel transition training with Jan Bussell. He owns a 6 and a 6A
and is in Okechobee, Fl. I was very happy with Jan and believe it would have
been impossible to have flown my RV6 without his expert help. The insurance
co. wanted 10 hours in make and model and we did my BFR. Jan's email address
is: janjoyce@strato.net
Good luck,
Bob Bales
