    Subject: Cracks in Horizontal stabiliser anyone??
    Howdy All, I heard a rumour that Vans has an issue with cracks in the front spar of the Horizontal stabiliser on the RV6. It seems that the area just above the attach point at the front where the HS602 spar has had the flanges cut off has developed cracks down to the first rivet where the edges have been filed down. The RV9A which I am building has the same set up, and I was wondering if the same issue may arise. Has anyone heard of this happening on the RV6 or other RV's???? I am thinking about putting in some sort of doubler plate in this area. Mick

    Been flying my RV-6 for almost 20 years and I live in RV country(close to Vans) I have not heard of an issue with the cracks in the front spar.

    Subject: Visit to Minneapolis
    Hi everybody, I started to build an RV8a (empanage is almost done) in Germany. Currently, I'm in Minneapolis on a business trip and would like to meet with other RV 8 / RV8a builders in the area. Anybody out there willing to show his project? Would be great to meet with you. On another note: my bi-anual flight review is due. Anybody knows a flight school in the greater area of Minneapolis, that has something like a Piper PA 28 (I prefer the low wings over the Cessnas...). Or is there a CFI with an RV in the area willing to handle my bi-anual sometimes during the coming weekend? That would be way cool.

    I do not belive that is true. Oth what is the difference in proficiency training and flight instruction? They are not called bi-annuals any more they are called flight reviews David Leonard wrote: > > .

    Subject: Re: IFR GPS
    Great post, David. GPS is great, but we've been fine without it for a long time. My RV-4 is IFR and has a Garmin 396 for my basic VFR nav, and IFR backup for situational awareness. I still like flying needles better than lines. But the VFR GPS makes a GREAT aid to situational awareness, plus terrain, obstacles, XM radio, WX, etc. Paul Besing ----- Original Message ---- From: David Leonard <wdleonard@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, June 16, 2008 3:58:33 PM Subject: Re: RV-List: IFR GPS Linn, The TSO is not required for us, neither is an STC obviously. BUT! the unit MUST function to all the standards of the TSO. That includes not just RAIM but also the way the approaches and waypoints are handled and presented, and sequenced. My guess is that the Odyssey would not meet those standards. You may be able to make an argument that it does meet the standards for and en-route IFR GPS and then you could use it to substitute for DME and flying point to point - but you would have to document how you verified that it met the standards for en-route IFR GPS. You also have to be sure that the database points for the DME on LOC approaches are the same points used in the certified units (ie.. DME to the LOC and not the 'airport' etc). But really, if you want to fly precision GPS approaches don't mess around and just get a certified unit. Or save the $$ and just get a nav with LOC/GS. That will cost a lot less and get you in to almost anywhere. Think about how often you are really going to need/want to fly approaches to the lower WAAS minimums. Sometimes, but very very rarely.

He lives in the certified airplane world but ....... The unit must be certified under either TSO-c129 or TSO-c146, be installed in the aircraft, and be approved in that aircraft on a 337 via either STC or field approval (if no STC for that aircraft exists). No TSO, no IFR approval. Since I'm planning on using the Odyssee (http://www.mglavionics.com/html/odyssey.html) glass panel with it's built-in WAAS capableGPS with RAIM ....... there's no TSO. Those of you with glass panels that fly IFR with a built-in GPS ....... did you use a certified GPS as backupor wing it ..... pun intended :-D .
