| Subject: | Introducing myself |
I recently started building an RV-9. My build log is on the web at
http://www.bit-builder.com/rv9a/rv9a.html.
It is a lot of fun building it, I was a structural engineer at Boeing for
many years, but never got to touch the stuff, just design it. Not quite the
same.
Anyway, hello to the list.

Welcome Greg ...
You'll have fun here and we'll all learn something from your being here
and giving, as well as getting from us. There are a lot of talented
folks here and we cover everything over time. Someone has been there
and done that. I've flown a lot of the Boeing fleet and your
contribution to that is acknowledged ... thanks for building them strong
because some of my landings required designed-in strength. Have fun and
take some of this stuff with the grain.
Happy building ...
Jerry

Greg congratulations on your decision and welcome.
I hope you will be a regular poster on ideas and concerns you encounter
during your project.
At work, we curse the design engineers at Bombardier (almost daily) we
joke they are young French Canadians with no aviation experience but
advanced CAD skills for some of their hair brained designs and hope they
would be more like Boeing guys when they grow up. You could be a
valuable asset for safer aircraft, a reduced accident rate and more joy
and confidence in our mutual passion of the build.

| Subject: | VOR Antenna Mounting... |
RV-Listers,
I'm mounting a VOR antenna on the Vertical Fin and came up with this
idea for installation. I'm thinking maybe adding a .063" plate
underneath for added rigidity. Maybe another under the black antenna
mount as well. Does this seem like a decent way to mount this? Other ideas?

Matt,
Will the arms of the antenna clear the rudder counter weight? If yes this
looks good. I have also seen a few mounted underneath the fuse on tail
dtaggers to keep them from being "eye stickers".

Matt, make sure you really want to mount the antenna on the top of the
stab. You are building a serious eye-poker--a real hazard for someone
walking near the back of your plane.
The antenna will work fine below the horiz stab and won't be a safety
hazard. Better yet, use the Archer antenna in the wingtip.

Matt,
I have to agree with Sam. I used two Archer antennas in my "7" wing tips.
My original answer is only in refference to the useability of the mount you
choose. The potential for putting eyes in grave danger is there with the
system you want to use.

| Subject: | Aileron Trim and wing leveler question |
RV builders who've installed manual aileron trim (the little lever between
the seats with the springs down to the control stick pushrod heim joint
bolt). I built the airplane with this mechanism but forgot to install it
when I assembled the control column, sticks and pushrod tubes. After
noticing my error and dragging out the parts I noticed that the trim lever
relys on the clamping force of a plastic block around the trim lever shaft.
This got me to wondering if the drag from the trim system would adversely
affect the operation of the autopilot (EZ Pilot). Anyone have experience
with manual aileron trim interfering with the operation of your wing
leveler? Or...is this a non issue? Thanks.
