I just read a report that AIG was taking a big writedown and shares
price falling a bunch. Any ideas as to how that might affect our
insurance? I think most or at least many policies end up with AIG, at
leqst mine with AOPA agencty does. Charlie Heathco

Richard,
I modified my stock fork to look like the new fork. Basically - you slice
an inch off the bottom and bolt it back on. You will need a bandsaw or
powered hacksaw to do the cutting this century. I'm flying mine now with no
issues. This mod could get you back flying in a day. email offline if you
want details: kbob at cox dot net

I saw one person who cut (drilled) into the bottom of the fork
to accommodate the shortened gear leg.
Determine if that is an acceptable solution.

Listers,
Just a note to caution all with RV-XAs that are subject to Service
Bulletin 07-11-09 to help you avoid making the mistake I made.
......
So, I have an RV-6A and its old fork and am awaiting return of my
modified gear leg and may have to wait a couple of months to get my new
fork.
So, the obvious advice is: check with Van's to find out the current
backlog of orders for the new fork BEFORE you send away your gear leg.
Good luck!!!

Garry, That speed seems in line with stock. Sure would be a lot of work to
change over to SJ plenum & cowl for me at this point. What MP are you
getting @ 8K' and 2700 rpm?

If I have proven one thing to myself it's that I suck using the
archives. I review them each time before I post a question with limited
success.
It is time to make a Cowl Fastener decision. I plan on using Skybolt
STYLE CLoc adjustable fasteners on part of my cowl assembly. I remember
a discussion on the list that suggested alternate brands or styles of
these fasteners. Does anyone have a preference as to the fastener you
would choose as my archive search has been fruitless.
Thanks,
Robin

Robin,
The 2 suppliers I know of are Skybolt and Milspec. I have Milspec myself. I think the products are comparable but I don't know the current pricing for either one. Jeremy at Milspec is very easy to work with and I recommend calling him if you have any questions. I bought mine when we had a group buy a couple of years ago and I wanted to change the length of the studs and he did so with no hassle at all even though it was quite awhile later. www.milspecproducts.com

Can't speak for RV pilots since I'm not there yet ;-)
However all I carry on my airplanes is liability ..... and only because
the hangar owners require it. It's a gamble.
In my case I insured the Pitts I built with hull the first year. At
that time ('81) $25K of hull cost me an extra 1K. I figured I might
need it in the first year. I didn't.
13 years later, I hurt my pride and joy. It was a outside 1/2 loop on a
landing. The top wing was trashed and the lower engine mount/fuselage
tubing was bent. Repairs were less than $3K
So, lets do some math. 12 years X $1K = $12K in the bank less the $3K,
so I still had $9K on account at the time. It's been building ever since.
However, I might feel different on an airplane that's worth $100K or
more. I'll cross that bridge (airway???) when I come to it
I wonder if hull insurance is purchased mostly by pessimists rather than
optomists!!!! :-D . Somebody else will have to collect the data!!!

| Subject: | Spring Scale Source? |
I just completed the nose gear modification on my RV6A and used a
cobbled-up method of checking and setting the 'break out' force as
called for by Van. (22-lbs)
I would like to find a source for a push scale, likely a spring scale,
to more accurately measure the break out force to insure against any
shimmy or other problems. I flew once after the mod and had the force
way too light and got good shimmy. I've re-adjusted it but am still a
bit leery.
Any sources you know of? I checked the usual ones and came up dry.
Thanks for any pointers.

I agree. I haven't been able to make the archives work for me for
years. Way too much time involved with research and I usually don't
find the answer I need. Perhaps a different search format?

Almost any fish scale will work. Look in your local big-box store.
