You could also use the quick connects from the likes of Stein or SafeAir that
are basically commercial air line versions of the plumbing quick connects from
your local Lowes Depot.

I'll try this again since my text got clobbered last time:
I have a 1/4" O.D. aluminum tube coming out of my wing from the pitot
tube which has to some how get mated to a 1/4" poly tube that goes to
the air speed indicator. What is a good way to do this? Van's says just
butt the two tubes together with a length of plastic tube with a 1/4"
I.D. slipped over it. That doesn't sound very reliable.
Will those nylo-seal fittings grip the aluminum tube well enough to be
useful?

Tom, Vans knows of what they speak. :-)
Connecting the tubing with a short length of plastic tubing works very
well and has performed perfectly on my RV-6 for the past nine years.

Hi All,
I have 1 slot left on Friday and 3 left on Sunday for flight time with
Mike Seager. He will be here with the RV-7 taildragger. If you wish to
take advantage of this opportunity then please contact me ASAP.
September 12-14, 2008 at
Oswego County Airport (FZY), Fulton, NY
Please contact me at 315-761-1702 (leave a message if I
cannot answer) or at jhurd1@twcny.rr.com to schedule your time with Mike.
I need to hear from you by Aug 28th if you wish to schedule time with
Mike so that I can let him know if there is enough work here to make it
worth his trip to central New York.
Thanks,

| Subject: | "ice-box" avionics cooling fan |
I bought an "Ice-Box" avionics cooling fan from spruce. The FN-200
model has 3 output ports and seems to blow a lot of air for not much
current. The output tubes are about 3/4" long and have a diameter that
is 0.025" LARGER than 5/8". You're supposed to push a 5/8" CAT tube
over these outlets. The 5/8" CAT tube I bought does NOT want to go over
those tubes. It's not very stretchy stuff. The fan manufacturer tells
me to push hard and "screw" the tube on. Lubricants don't seem to help.
It's really hard to do. I succeeded with one tube. Ruined the second
one. The prospect of having to do this while laying under the instrument
panel is awful.
Has any one dealt with this fan product? Is there some secret to
getting the tube to go over the outlets or is there some other type of
tubing that I can use. I don't like vinyl tubing - it ages fast and
makes bad chemicals when it burns. There's some polyethylene tube that
might work.
Thanks for any ideas.

| Subject: | nylo-seal and "inserts" |
The spruce catalog says that the 259-N nylo-seal inserts are not
necessary when using the nylo-seal (nylon) tubing with the Nylo-seal
fittings, but are to be used with polyethelene tubing. Yet Van's
drawing #49 for my 6A shows them being used with the nylo-seal tubing
and people seem to always mention the inserts regardless of tubing type.
Are the inserts really necessary if you use the right tubing?
Thanks,

| Subject: | Slick Mag Health Check-up |
Mojo (She's a good girl!) is approaching her 500-hour check-up and I've been
trying to determine the maintenance needs for her Slick 4370 & 4371
magnetos. Research has led to a lot of info regarding HOW to do lots of stuff,
but
not necessarily what NEEDS to be done regarding checking points, rebuild etc.
Her timing has always been spot-on, but I'm concerned about making sure she
stays in perfect health.
Advice? Links?

Tom,
If you8 cut the tube at exactly 90 degrees and tighten the fittings just the
right amount, not doo much or too little you can get by with out the
inserts. I would use them because with them you can make all the mistakes
and they still seal. Don VS
