Hey Charles, you seem to be on to something. I will try your wind theory
next time. It makes sense. In no wind condition, I still think opening
the oil door helps. However, yesterday wind blew it closed while I was
at a group gathering, and I forgot about it, took off and it poped up.
had to go around slow reland and lock it. I also experienced minor
vapor lock after sitting hot for about 10 min, and was running 100ll.

WOW! That is almost 1 in 100 RV crashes per year or 10 in 1000 RV crashes
per year or, said another way, 50 of the 5000 RV currently flying will crash
2008. If these are reasonably accurate numbers I, for one, am interested in
understanding what is going on here and what can be done to reduce our risk of
flying RVs. Ron and others, I look forward to reading more definition of
these statistics.

I am not sure about the particular one you are referring to, but keep in
mind that there are different requirements for anticollision lights
depending on the year the plane was built. After 1977 you need 400
effective candella and it needs to be 75 degrees vertical above and below
the horizontal plane. From 71-77 it is 400 and 30 degrees and from 57-71 it
was 100 candella and 30 degrees. Reference FARs 91.205, 23.1397, and
23.1401.
Don't take for granted that because it is a new light that it meets the new
requirements. There are a lot of units being made that meet the older
requirements, but not the newer ones because a lot of lights are getting
replaced or added on older planes. I added flashing red lights on my 1950
Pacer not long ago and used ones that met the older regulations. Call the
manufacturer and see if they meet current requirements and see if you meet
the maximum blockage requirements (no more than .5 steradian) with just one
light (likely you won't on the tailcone, but might on top of the rudder).
There is an FAA bulletin on how to measure the blockage using 3 view
drawings and the special graph paper in the bulletin, but I can't seem to
find the number right now.

Subject: RV-List: Aircraft Beacon - LED
I am planning to install a LED red beacon on the tail of my RV-9A, so that
I will be Night VFR legal.
The archives have nothing on this subject. Perhaps someone has related
experience..
Kuntzlem Electronics sells a small LED beacon that is 1.7 inches in
diameter, 3.5 inches tall and weighs 8.4 oz. It seems that it will be small
enough to look decent on the skinny RV tail. They claim that it meets FAA
requirements. They sell a mounting kit for the fuselage which probably
could be made to work on the tailcone., with a fair amount of work to flair
it nicely.
Has anybody have experience with this or a similar product.? It is
described at www.kestrobes.com.
Thanks for any help.

| Subject: | Re: Oil Cutter CHEAP |
I fab'd one from a pipe cutter, some homeDepot angle-iron, 4
bolts/washers/nuts and some plywood. It's Really Ugly, but it works and it's
cheap. Been using it for about 8 years.
Cut the angle iron so you make a square that 'holds' a oil filter and bolt
it together. Cut the pipe cutter in half and bolt the adjustable part to one
side of the angle-iron so you can adjust it to cut into the edge of the
filter. I put "thick" plywood inside the angle-iron square with a hole for
the filter pipe fitting to fit thru (so I could hold everything flat on the
bench when I cut the filter)
To operate, I just put a socket wrench on the filter and turn it while I
adjust the pipe cutter enough to cut thru the 'can' around the filter.
Good Luck
"Jerry"
