Listers,
On my RV-6A forward floor I have sound insulation between the fore and
aft angles. It is the thickness of one side of the angles. So the
surface of the insulation is flush with the edges of the angles. Over
the insulation I have placed carpeting with a foam back. So far, I have
used common double-stick carpet tape to hold the carpet in place. It has
been minimally successful in keeping the carpeting from moving under my
feet and the passenger's feet. After a few flights, I find that the
carpeting slid a few inches and has buckled under my feet.
My question is: have you found other means of keeping carpeting in place?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Richard Dudley

I came across these tiedown hook and tracks and thought I should share
this info. I have no connection to this site but thought their price,
for what appears to be the same thing that Vans sells, was too good not
to pass along.

Hi Richard,
I have installed my carpet and insulation exactly the same as you. I have
had the same problem and used a little contact cement around the edges. My
last flight I had a passenger that had wrestles legs and he managed to get
it all loose and waded up on that side again. I think a bit more contact
cement will go on unless someone else comes up with something from your
post.

I had the same problem in my 9A and nothing would hold long term.? I ended up "pop
riveting" (the horror)?a couple of small pieces of 1/8" angles at the aft
end of the floor angles?each with a nut plate for a #8 screw.? Then I put the
carpet back on and placed a #8 screw with a larger diameter washer through the
carpet and into the nut plate.? No more buckled up carpet in the last year.?
Hope that helps.

Maybe something as simple as a coulple of screws at the rear of the carpets
anchored to something attached at the rear of the floor stiffeners near the

How do you clamp Aeroquip fire sleeve?
Spruce has a clamp on the fire sleeve page along with an "Economy Fire
sleeve Clamp Tool
P/N 12-00684 ..$17.70" but I don't get it? I bought one of the clamps (P/N
05-02652) but don't really understand how it is used, except it would
obviously take a special tool to put it on.
I bought a tool at Oshkosh called a "ClampTite" that makes clamps out of
safety wire. That looks like it might make a nice finished looking clamp
over the fire sleeve.
What are others doing?

| Subject: | Spraying UV-smooth prime |
I use Polyfiber's UV smooth prime on fiberglass and like it. It can be
put on with a small roller or sprayed. I tried spraying it once without
very good results. I used an HVLP gun with a 1.5mm nozzle. Rolling has
its problems too, so I'd like to try spraying again.
Can some one one who has sprayed this stuff successfully advise me what
is the best nozzle size to use for this stuff? I'm guessing it is
larger than 1.5mm since it has a lot of solids. I have an assortment of
nozzles.
Thanks,

a great way to secure carpets but keep them removable is to install snaps in
the corners. in the picture, #1845 would be riveted to the floor and
1825 and 1830 get squeezed to the carpet. very common in the marine world,
the press and snap tool costs about 95$ so you might just visit a local
canvas expert. the hardware is very inexpensive (stainless).

I've had a problem lately where the first time I hit the starter switch
on the first start of the day, all I get is a "click", but the prop
doesn't even twitch. I assume the noise is the starter relay.
On the second or third attempt, the starter will engage and off we go.
How do I diagnose this? Is it the relay, or something with the
Prestolite starter, maybe the bendix not extending?
BTW, I know there are better starters out there, but I need weight out
front, so the Prestolite is a good way to go for me..
Thanks in advance,

The Fire Sleeve Clamp Tool that ACS sells looks a lot like the
automotive CV boot clamp tool that I bought at the local NAPA Auto
Parts place, except the automotive tool had a crank that made it
easier to use. That tool worked great on my fire sleeve clamps.

You'd hear the starter running if it was getting power.

The bendix will like some graphite periodically since you're going to
keep it.
When you get a new relay, get some plasti-dip and coat the body of the
relay really good. Keeping the moisture out (yeah, I know ... they're
supposed to be sealed) helps their longevity.

I also had some of the clamps and could not get them on without a special
tool. Our techs at work have a tool for using stainless wire banding straps
(commercial ship version of a tie wrap) that might work, but I did not try
it. I just used a stainless hose clamp. I have also heard of people
sealing the ends with silicone which I think might be a good idea. I would
not use just the silicone although that might be fine.

I also have one of the economy clamp tools. I had a problem at first
but succeeded when I turned the crank backwards -- the clamp end
didn't slip out of the spool when I did it that way. When I put fire
sleeve over my fuel flow sensor, I used a couple of stainless steel
water hose clamps -- cheeper and much easier to do; also you can take
the sleeve off if you need to without damaging it.
good luck

Read NEW instructions. No more wood boxes unless shipping two or more.

Subject: Re: RV-List: Gear Leg SB box size
I would be most interested in hearing the recommended inside
dimensions of the box needed to ship my gear to Langair if anyone has
this handy.
I want to get the box built now if I get a spare moment (I've been
traveling a lot for work), so that when I finally do get a chance to
take the gear off sometime in mid-February (when I normal do my annual),
I can get it sent off without delay.
-Thx

I spray AKZO epoxy primer unthinned with a DeVilbiss HVLP and 1.2. Can't
imagine Poly UV needing larger than 1.5. 1.8 would be the next size to try.
Toy around with your needle & air pressure settings. Is your needle clean?

Yes, I thinned it as it says to on the can, but it has a very high
solids content. It's really a filler. I think the term "primer" is
misused in this case. You still have to spray real primer on top of the
smooth prime after you sand it. It is a good filler, though.
