Jerry Calvert Edmond Ok RV6 N296JC ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:52:30 AM PST US From: "Carl Bell" Subject: RV-List: Canopy bonding-Sika Flex Help For those that have gone before me, I could use some Sika Flex Expert advice: I have bonded my RV 7 canopy to the frame and have pulled out the spacers that were set on 4" centers. The results were very strong and it is now a simgle piece unit never to be separated. Where I need some help: 1. I would like to go back and fill the spacer holes and pretty up the fillet around the frame. Do I just use the Sika cleaner to re-soften the primer and Sika for the finishing layer? 2. Will the new Sika stick to the first layer well enough. Can I sand the Sika in the high spots before the finishing layer. Any knowledgable help would be appreciated. Thanks Carl ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:26:17 AM PST US Subject: RV-List: Canopy bonding-Sika Flex Help From: James H Nelson Hi Carl. I just used my finger and used the SIKA Flex right out of the tube and filled the spaces. It sticks nicely to itself. I did not sand the material but I guess you could. I'm happy with the lack of holes on most of my canopy. Jim Nelson N15JN RV9-A ____________________________________________________________ Hit it out of the park with a new bat.

Be careful not to put too much on pin...just takes a tiny, tiny bit. If you see vaseline as you push the pin in, you have used to too much and the paint will not stick where you want it to. Paul Besing ----- Original Message ---- From: tom sargent Sent: Monday, August 11, 2008 9:01:43 PM Subject: RV-List: painting hinges I am priming prior to painting and wondering if any one knows a good way to seal up the hinge eyes on the various piano hinges (flaps, cowling, elev. trim tab, etc.) so that paint doesn't get in. On the smaller hinges, I discovered that the paper shaft of Q-tips fits inside nicely and can be cut out with a wire snipper easily afterwards. I also found some 1/4" round stick-on labels at the office supply store which cover up the ends of the hinge eyes nicely, but I suspect the blast of the spray gun will dislodge them. I'll find out shortly. Any other ideas? -- Tom S., RV-6A, getting ready to paint. ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 09:21:49 AM PST US From: tom sargent Subject: Re: RV-List: painting hinges Paul Besing wrote: > Coat an extra hinge pin with vaseline, mold release, etc (very lightly > so not to get "squeezed" onto the hinge frame) Leave the hinge pin in > while you paint.

About 5% of the little stick on labels I used came off when I sprayed, BTW, so I don't recommend that method. Yours sounds better. Paint hates oil. -- Tom S. ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 02:11:34 PM PST US Subject: RV-List: attitude indicator for sale From: "Puckett, Gregory [DENTK]" I have a RC-Allen electric attitude indicator for sale. It's an RCA26AK-2-8 internally lit with an 8 degree panel tilt. This unit was new from the factory just over a year ago and has approx 100 flight hours with no acro that would hit the gimbals stops (it does not have roll stops ;-)). It costs $2070.00 from ACS and I think the core value is about $1000. I'm asking $1700 but will consider any reasonable offer. I'm going with the Dynon for some of the additional features. Thanks, Greg Puckett N881GP ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 02:17:43 PM PST US Subject: RV-List: Trio From: jvanlaak@aol.com Listers, I am having trouble getting my Garmin 420 to talk to my Trio autopilot.? I can see that there is a low voltage on the rs232 output from the Garmin and I had my 295 talking to the Trio just fine, but these two act like strangers. Documentation is rather light on both sides (the trio says it will autodetect and I do not have the install manual for the 420) so any help would be appreciated.

Push yo ur "enter" button on the 420 as you turn the unit on. This will access you r setup page. The output on mine going to my GRT is "Aviation". The outpu t from my serial GRT port to my Trio is set at "autopilot". I don't recall what the different settings are within the Garmin but if "autopilot" is an option give it a try and then go the baud rate page. I talked with Trio at the time and they said the buad rate couild be either 4800 or 9600. We'll see but the GPS is talking to my Trio. Save your setting by turning off y our Garmin.
