| Subject: | sniffle valve in RV 7A |
Hi Mark,
I am "running" a IO-360 and I chose to not install a sniffle
valve. My first start shoud be in a few weeks. So the proceedure used
will be adapted for the purge valve style operation. I have about 5 or 6
things to finish up and then get it blessed with paper work. Then I
should be ready to go fly :-)))

| Subject: | For Sale - RMI uMonitor - NEW - All Probes and Upgrades! |
Dear Listers,
I am selling a new, never used, fully assembled RMI uMonitor with all the probes
for a 4-cylinder engine including Fuel Flow, 4ea EGT, 4ea CGT, Carb Temp, and
Manifold pressure. The uMonitor just had all of the latest hardware and software
updates factory installed including the new high contrast LCD display supporting
Fahrenheit temp readings AND the new LED fiberoptic backlight. Also
included is the Aircraft Extras RM-1B plugin harness extender for the uMonitor
which greatly simplifies the wiring installation.
The uMonitor is in new condition with no scratches and all installation material
and manuals. The pictures below are of the actual unit for sale. The table
below lists all of the items included.
I have nearly $2800 invested in this complete system. I will sell it for $2200
plus shipping to anywhere in the world. I can accept Visa/MC. First come, first
served.
Please email me off list at dralle@matronics.com if you are interested.

| Subject: | crooks at Performance Engines |
I maintain a list on my web site describing my experiences with various
vendors. The vast majority have been super to deal with, but here have
been
some with poor customer service. Fortunately, none has outright ripped
me
off, as described by Larry James; the few negatives are mostly just poor
customer service & bad attitudes. It isn=92t an all-encompassing list;
just
my own experiences with the vendors I have dealt with in building my
plane.

We need a list on this site of preferred vendors and vendors we should
not
deal with and that list should be on the search page for all RV's. I'm
wondering if this is possible? We work hard everyday in the shop and
at
our day job, and we certainly should know who the crooks are! Just my
two
cents.

to go after him. Anyone with any ideas on what to do with this crook ??
I
have no intention of letting this go :-).

Well, at this stage, maybe the best bet is to attempt to get enough web
coverage of your problems that he starts to realize that not resolving
this
will cost him a bunch of business. One approach would be to create a
web
page that gave your side of the story. Post a link here. Post a link
on
the VAF WWW forum. If enough other people link to your web page, that
will
start to increase the Google ranking of your page. Eventually it could
start to appear close enough to the top of a search for Performance
Engines
that prospective customers start to see it. Try to get the attention of
AvWeb, and the Aero News Network. Contact the Better Business Bureau.
They probably can't do much, but they will put an entry in their
searchable
database saying that there are unresolved customer complaints. That
will
deter some other potential customers. Go to OSH, with a whole stack of
flyers telling your story, and post them all over the site. Keep this
up
long enough and eventually they may see an affect on their business.

| Subject: | Re: sniffle valve in RV 7A |
[quote="yenduc(at)sbcglobal.net"]The sniffle valve I got from Superior with my
engine sucks. Or more
properly does not seal well under suction ( I can detect a slight leak
when I check it by blowing backwards on it). I believe Dan Checkoway
told me he replaced his with a better one but I lost my notes. Anyone
have a sniffle valve source?
Thanks

We make manifold drains (sniffel valves). You can attach a #4 hose to this part
to route the fuel away from the exhaust and out the cowling. In a tight installation
where the part cannot hang straight down, you can install a 90 degree
pipe fitting to the sump and run a hose back to the manifold drain. As long
as the little check ball can fall open when the engine is off it will work.
The P/N is 1090138 $17.00.

| Subject: | Settting the correct Spacing (Gap) between VS Top Rib and Rudder |
Top Rib
Greetings:
The construction of my RV8A (RV7 and RV9 are the
same) the Rudders Top Rib swings OVER the top Rib of
the VS. There is suppose to be a "Gap" between the
two Ribs so that there is no interference (rubbing of
them together) as the Rudder is moved.
My question is - how do you set this Gap up ???
It seems to me that the Rod End Bearings on the Rudder
Spar need to be screwed into the Rudder Spar the "
Final" distance so that the Gap can be set up properly
BEFORE the Rudder Skin is finally riveted to the
Rudders Top Rib (R703) which sets this Gap. My
understanding the dimensions for screwing the Rod End
Bearings as shown on the Drawing 7 is only
"approximate" and needs to be fined tuned later = this
could change this Gap distance.
Or if one marks a center-line on the flange of the
Rudders Top Rib and aligns the pre-punched holes in
the Rudder Skin directly over the "center of this
line", does it Guarantee automatic clearance and a
constant Gap distance when the Rod End bearings are
set to their "Final" screwed-in distance ??????
The Orndorff Tapes show the Rod End bearings installed
in the Rudder Spar (no Rod End Bearing dimensions
given) and mounted to the VS and the Gap set by
bending Up the Rudders Top Rib (R703) to parallel the
VS Top Rib. Maybe I am missing something. So what
worked for you - set the Rod End Bearings "approx" or
align the pre-punched holes in the Rudder Skin
directly over the marked center-line on the Rudders
Top Rib flange and THEN rivet the Rudder Skin ????
Once the Rudder Skin is riveted to the Rudders Top
Rib, the Rudders Top Rib is fixed and can NOT be
readjusted to get the "correct Gap" later.
