| Subject: | GRT EIS 6000 question |
I was going through the setup pages last night and realized I do not have
the scale factor and offset limits numbers for the fuel pressure sender. Mine is
a generic 0-100 psi sender from ACS. Anyone run across this recently?
Thanks for any input

| Subject: | For Sale: RV-9A Empennage Kit (Davenport, IA) |
FOR Sale:
I would like to sell my RV-9A empennage kit.
1 - RV-9A Empennage Kit (+ including electric trim)
Davenport, IA
I have looked up my invoices and I paid $1298 for the empennage kit and $200
for the electric trim kit. Total $1498. Also paid a $50 shipping charge.
The current price of the empennage kit via the Van's site is $1600, the
current price of the electric trim kit is $305. Total $1905.
Asking price, provided I can deliver it to you is 70% of what I paid for the
kits, this works out to 55% of the current price Van's is charging.
I would like to sell this kit locally as I can deliver it.
The above includes a second rudder skin as the first had a nick at the very
top. Nothing has been riveted. The skins have been dimpled and the spar
has been countersunk.
Reason for selling: The RV-9A project was purchased by me and my brother,
who has passed. I have decided, and have purchased the RV-12 wing kit and
intend to complete the RV-12 as opposed to the RV-9A.
If you have any questions, please call me at 563-344-0146 or e-mail me at
marty.santic at gmail.com <mailto:marty.santic@gmail.com> .

My RV6A always had a habit of showing a few "dribbles" of red brake
fluid streaming out on the bottom of the fuselage beginning at the
firewall and running back on the belly about like oil might.
It never was much but was always there, yet the quantity was so small
that I really couldn't see the brake reservoir being depleted or being
drained of any significant amount.
Here's the oddity: I always knew there was air pressure in the bottom of
the cowling because my first flight had the oil inspection door bulging.
In an attempt to increase air speed by reducing cooling drag I installed
two louvers (from Avery's) along the bottom of the cowling...they're
about 11-inches by 3.5 or so - rough estimates - that I hoped would
reduce the built-up pressure, get more air moving across the cylinder
heads and give me an extra knot or two. I didn't see much difference in
speed.
But the red traces of brake fluid are gone. Somehow the built up
pressure was sucking some fluid from the reservoir I suspect although
there never was any indication of red brake fluid anyplace except along
the bottom of the fuselage just aft of the firewall.
I'll settle for a solved problem even if I don't understand it.
Chew on it folks and see what ideas you have.

On my -6, if you fill the reservoir over 1/2 to 2/3 full, I get fluid out
the breather, down the firewall, and on the belly. It settles out and does
not come out the breather once it is at the 1/2 or less level. (Unless yo
u go negative G for more than a second.) Anyway, that is my experience aft
er 10+ years of flying the -6.

| Subject: | RV-6 Bellcranks. |
Two questions for the RV-6/A builders.
Aileron bellcrank ends where the heim bearings are installed. Do I need a
spacer washer on either side of the heim bearing (between the bellcrank
ears) in order to provide enough movement to get full forward and aft stick
travel? Right now my control sticks don't seem be able to move fore and aft
as far they should and I can't seem to be able to find the cause.
Elevator bellcrank spacers...... I originally made them both the same length
but when I was checking the blueprints the other day I noticed it shows one
spacer 15/16 inch and the other 7/16 inch. So I made new ones but when I
put the offset spacers in I noticed that the now offset bellcrank end did
not meet up with the pushrod coming from the control stick assembly (the
hole in the bottom of the bulkhead was centered and if I use the offset
spacers I'll have to grind out this hole and take out a good bit of the
flange (and a couple rivets) of the horizontal rib that runs between the
bottom of the aft baggage bulkhead and the next bulkhead aft, I'm a little
worried about loss of strength of the assembly by doing this). I also had a
fellow RV-7 builder look up these spacers on his plans and low and behold,
the spacers are equal length. So.....is there any reason I have to offset
the bellcrank or have some of you RV-6 builders used the equal length
spacers? Thanks.
