| Subject: | Vacuum Guage hookup |
Ben,
My suction gauge has two ports on it. One labeled V and the other labeled
P. Mine is a U.M.A, Inc part number 3-200-12, PMA part.
Does this make a difference?

IIRC, The gauge has only one port on it so the air eally isn't passing
through it, all it does is sense vacuum because it is a dead end circuit..

The question then is if the pressure (P) were to be negative then wouldn't
there be air flowing through the gauge? If I don't put a filter on the vent
side you say it would be OK?

Tim. It has been three years since I installed mine in my experimenatl b
ut if I remember correctly there was two versions. The one with a single
port was for vacuum only. The one for dual purpose had two ports, My th
oughts were there is a diaphram that drives the needle in the gauge. Vac
uum is introduced into one side of the diaphram and that moves the needl
e the correct way. If one was using a pressure system to drive the gauge
s that pressure is introduced on the opposite side of the diaphram. That
way one gauge could be used in both applications. If your plane is runn
ing a vacuum system my guess is to hook up to the ' V ' port...

| Subject: | Vacuum Guage hookup |
Ok, I got it figured out. ACS sells a fitting that goes in the back of
one
of the main gauges that is a T fitting. The 3/8=94 side is for the
suction/
vent and a T part that is =BC=94 to go to the suction gauge. I ordered
two of
these ($$) so I could T into both the vent and the suction sides of the
hoses.
I found this diagram and fitting part numbers on ACS suction kit
installation documents.

Ralph,
It depends on which category you certificate it in. If it is in the experi
mental amateur-built category then it is no problem. But if you were able
to get it certificated in the Light-sport category then you would have a pr
oblem. In this case I don't think you will have to worry as I don't think
it will qualify for the Light-Sport category, just the amateur-built catego
ry.

Speaking of LSAs....Chinese or otherwise...Van's RV-12 got me to thinking.
That doesn't happen often and when it does, I take advantage of it.
I gotta think that the RV-12 could fly faster than the LSA speed limit (120
kts) with maybe just a coarser pitched prop. If so, would it be legit to:
- build or buy an LSA--say Van's--switch the prop, and fly it out of the LS
A class with your PP-ASEL and current medical
- then if you don't want to renew your medical for some reason, simply swit
ch the prop back again to be below 120 kts
Can the same plane, with a minor alteration, switch between LSA and not?

Cheeeeez! I never thought my original post would generate so many
responses. Wish I could take it back so we could focus on RV building.
But I guess it's like saying the f-word in front of your mother - you
can't take it back.
Anyway, I'm finishing up the cockpit wiring and trying to figure out a
good way to raise the fuselage (-8A) to put her on the gear. Anyone have
words about what worked - and what didn't? I'm contemplating the use of
the engine hoist with a cable wrapped around the roll bar, but that
seems too rough and perhaps unstable.

I did it this way, but with the engine mount. Mine was a -6 however. It
doesn't really weight much unless you have the engine mounted. At that
point I would use the hook on the top of the engine.

I had success with using an engine hoist and the engine mount (sans engine) and
later the engine mount to fuselage upper bolt holes - same engine hoist. My
intent was to put the stress in the same place that would see it in flight......

It is not recommended to use the engine hook to lift any more than the
engine itself. All the weight is going through one small section of the
engine case. Consider the consequences of cracking the case - it may hold or
may not but is it worth the risk? Your choice, your money.

I did it this way, but with the engine mount. Mine was a -6 however. It
doesn't really weight much unless you have the engine mounted. At that
point I would use the hook on the top of the engine.

Subject: RV-List: Chinese LSA - My Bad
Cheeeeez! I never thought my original post would generate so many responses.
Wish I could take it back so we could focus on RV building. But I guess it's
like saying the f-word in front of your mother - you can't take it back.
Anyway, I'm finishing up the cockpit wiring and trying to figure out a good
way to raise the fuselage (-8A) to put her on the gear. Anyone have words
about what worked - and what didn't? I'm contemplating the use of the engine
hoist with a cable wrapped around the roll bar, but that seems too rough and
perhaps unstable.

You could build a 2X4 rack and lift it using wide ratcheting cargo straps slung
under the fuselage. Or you could use the engine hoist and wide cargo straps
and lift one side at a time hooking it on the frame one step at a time. Walking
it up to the level where you could get the gear on. Just a thought.
Have you got an old swing set?
By the way wash your mouth out with soap.
