    Subject: New Light Upgrades
    RV-Listers, I posted this information to the RV-10 list in response to a discussion, and figured you would be interested in it as well. We recently added 35w and 50w 'Low Cost' replacement HID lights (see our 'Upgrades' page). We have the MR-16 2" HID lights for the Tips in both wattages. We also have GE-H3 style HID lights that are simple, direct replacements for the Halogen bulbs in our lights. These lights work very well, in fact Joe Blank just installed a couple in his old RMD style wing tips using my PAR-36 Reflectors with the Low Cost 35W HID. He reported back that he has now lifted his self-imposed 'ban' on night landings at his home strip, since the 4" HID lights work so well. If you do have the MR-16 tip lights, the HID is far 'brighter', cooler, uses less power, and doesn't burn out, making the HID version a great upgrade. OH, and we have finally joined the modern world - we just enabled Credit Card processing on our website, on the 'Upgrades' page initially.

    Subject: Re: Cracks in Horizontal stabiliser anyone??
    I know of at least one RV-7 builder who had an issue with cracking there and decided to rebuild his h-stab. Van's did make a change in the plans regarding better stress relief (a rounded notch) in that that area. The change in plans showed up sometime after Sept 2001. -- David Leonard Turbo Rotary RV-6 N4VY http://N4VY.RotaryRoster.net http://RotaryRoster.net On Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 12:55 PM, sheldon barrett <sheldonb@frontiernet.net> wrote: > > > > Nothing on Van's website 'Letters, Service Bulletins, and Revisions' list > indicates this... > http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/notices.htm > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mick Muller" <mmul6471@bigpond.net.au> > To: "RV FORUM" <rv-list@matronics.com> > Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2008 3:58 AM > Subject: RV-List: 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.
