    Subject: Used RV buying best practices?
    I think a set of Best Practices for used RV pre-buy/purchasing would be helpful. Has anything like this been compiled before? I'm thinking about: Indicators of good construction (with photos) Indicators of poor construction (with photos) What to look for in the logs (good and bad) What tests to do? (avionics, engine, etc) Should an Oil Analysis be done? What quirks to be aware of between models. I think something like this would be very helpful to any non-A&P shopping for a used RV. -Andrew

    Subject: New Product Annoucement
    Fellow RV Builders, I'd like to make you aware that we are introducing a new flap controller to our line-up of products at TCW Technologies. TCW Technologies currently provides the Safety-Trim series of servo controllers. The new product, Intelligent Flap Controller IFC-1 will be featured along with Safety-Trim at our booth at Sun-n-Fun. (booth N-96) IFC-1 was specifically designed to drive the Van's Flap actuator and has some key features not available in other flap controllers. IFC-1 provides for simple wiring of Pilot and Co-Pilot flap switches and provides Vfe protection to guard against accidental flap deployment. All the details are available at http://www.tcwtech.com/Aviation%20Products.htm IFC-1 will be available directly from our web site or at Stein Air, Inc. www.steinair.com Thank you, Bob Newman (40176) TCW Technologies. www.tcwtech.com

    Air Ranch Thanks, Esten for the reminder. I need to let you know that we won't be able to make it. I am currently waiting to hear from the FAA about my recent physical. I don't expect that they will beat the forcasted 6 weeks.

    Best advice I can think of.....Have someone who built one ( and still has i t so you can see it) go with you to inspect it.
