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.
Thanks
Thilo

The would be way cool for you. But you can't pay to do a bi-annual in
someone else's experimental aircraft. Only proficiency training.

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

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.

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.
JMHO

I posed the question of what's needed for LEGAL IFR operation, and this was the
reply I got. 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 .
