| Subject: | Re: Cowl Fasteners |
Robin et.al.
I now have 1600 hours on my RV8 with the Sky Bolt Stainless fasteners
and adjustable receptacles.. When I built my RV8 10 years ago the
Skybolt fasteners were just coming on the market. The regular fasteners
available at that time were all to long for the limited clearance and
also thin top cowl that Van supplies. At that time I became acquainted
with the owners of Skybolt and advised them of my requirements. They
then designed an extra short fastener ( number 0) and a adjustable
receptacle that would clear the engine. I have never had a problem
with the fasteners or the Skybolt people. They have been honest and
prompt with delivery. Good luck with your project.

Subject: RV-List: Cowl Fasteners
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

Thanks Dick,
I had initially decided to use the Skybolts on only the
upper firewall and the underside of the bottom cowl (SJ Cowl). Since
then I purchased a complete set to connect the upper & lower cowl too. I
prefer the clean look of the wire but the SB's with the really nice
backing strip are too good a combination.
I have to say however for the budget minded builder a
simple solution are $0.05 S/S machine screws and countersunk washers. My
RV-6A has a full set (only wire is on the sides of the lower cowl) and
this looks good, works great and can be replaced any place there is a
hardware store. I also think the S/S screw set up is a lot lighter.

| Subject: | i39, Richmond, Madison RV Flyin Feb. 23. RESCHEDULED TO |
MARCH 1
Due to predicted weather in the east, the postponement is official. The ne
w date is March 1 at light30 till dark30. The weather front predicted to c
ome through Friday night is a mix of rain, freezing rain changing to rain.
The front is supposed to pass here sometime early Saturday morning, giving
way to partly cloudy skies with a Sat. high of only 36. The front will be
just east of here, which would preclude all of those east and northeast fr
om attending. The extended forecast is calling for temps into the 50's by t
he end of next week. Much better than this weekend. I will keep everyone
informed.

Subject: RV-List: i39, Richmond, Madison RV Flyin Feb. 23.
OK gang, i39, Richmond, Madison Kickoff Flyin is
officially on the books for Saturday Feb. 23rd.
We have had a new business take over the FBO. Warbirds of America also
has relocated to the corporate hangar. The appearance of the FBO has
substantially changed along with the attitudes and environment. The
airport is once again a nice place to hang out. The new owners have
leased a mobile fuel truck so no long lines will be present at the fuel
farm.
i39 is located in Central Kentucky, just south of Lexington. We have
had over 100 GA aircraft here for this one day flyin. The list of RV
goes from RV-3s to Evos, Harmons, Supers to 4's, 6's, 7's, 8's,
9's....but no 10's as of last year. Let's change that one. This is a
very low key, get the birds out and stretch those legs after the prior
couple of months of winter weather flyin. I'm not going to jinx the
weather, suffice to say we have had a couple good years of weather. The
following weekend will be the rain day.....but it won't have to be
used!!
Remember, if you fly in there will be no ambulances,
firetrucks or emergency personnel on site........there, that out of
the way.
We will once again have free coffee, donuts, Hooters wings,
hotdogs, colas, water ........................and..............again
this year...............a client is showing up with his mobile corn
roaster!!
Starting time is light 30 with closing at dark 30. Bring your camera
and best lies, you will need the best of both. No vendors, no $3
hotdogs, no forums, no nothing, just airplanes and friends. We again,
I'm sure will have members of TeamRV and the Ohio Valley RVators
formation teams
flying in with lots of individual RVs. Be careful, this is an
uncontrolled airfield with no NOTAMS, no nothing, safety is up to you.
Keep your head on a swivel and use the radio. You know the drill.
Looking forward to seeing everyone nice and early. 60 degrees and
sunshine.....YES, that's what we are pulling for!!
If you are driving in and would like to spend the night in the area, below

Having visited Savannah, GA, I'd spend my spare time visiting downtown
Savannah... Absolutely beautiful area with ton's of history. You can
see RV's anywhere, but you can only see Savannah while you are
there......
Just my humble opinion.....

Kevin: You might try to look in at Eagle Neck fifteen or so miles
south of
Savannah. It is an airpark cut out of the pines and rather like landing
in
a 100' deep trench.
There are several RV builders there. The area is tidal marsh and lovely
in
its own right.
