Zaon is working on a remote mounted version of their collision avoidance system
that will have a "black box", external antenna(s), and probably a 3.125" "instrument"
for display/control. If you're going to be feeding an EFIS, then you
might not even need to mount the 3.125" on the panel as control and display could
come from the EFIS. Send Zaon Support some email and ask them about their
"panel mount" version and when it will be available. Report back; I'm waiting
for the panel mount version for my RV-8, although my panel is already full
and adding a 3.125" is going to be tough...

Matt ... I suspect the wait will be a VERY long time. They have dumped the
idea prior to OSH this year.

Stephan,
I have been testing and selling ACI props since they began to sell them.
They are brilliant engineers, however, they are not very good sales
people. At the present time, I believe they are probably involved in
some large military contracts and are neglecting there everyday light
plane propellers. If you would like to continue this contact with me, I
will be happy to try to assist you. I have over 500 hours on my RV8
equipped with an Aero Composite propeller. I have also as mentioned
tested many of the propeller variations that they have designed.
Please advise what type of airplane and engine size that you intend to
use, and I will advise what I think from my experience with ACI props
would be the best for you.
I would be happy to talk directly with you by telephone if you like.
The best time to call me is between 8am to 5pm
Central Daylight time (8 hours time differential between Europe time and
central US time) My telephone number is
920 619 6968 cellphone. I am flying almost everyday, so if I do not
answer my phone, try later in the day until 9pm in the evening.
I do not look at the internet everyday as you can see by the timeing of
this Email.

Dear fellow builders,
For my new project I try to get the Aero Composite people on the
phone. I tried it a couple of times and send emails, no respond. Does
anybody know what's going on there or if the business is already sold to
someone else?

Any thoughts on some rivets that are working in the horizontal
stabilizer in
my RV 6. it is the inboard rivets and it is on both sides. I have
noticed this over a 3 or 4 yr period and it continues to involve more
rivets.
Is this a common thing in older rv=92s, mine is a vintage 1991. in
fact it
was # 9 rv 6 kit sold. The air frame has almost 1000 hrs on it. how do
I
stop it and how do I fix the damage ?
Thanks

You can remote mount the current unit if you have a TIS compatible display
like a 396/496. There's an internal jumper mod they can do to allow it to
power up without having to press a front panel button. I had a long
conversation with Zane (the ZA of Zaon) and he said they do the mod for
sailplane installations. You still have to put the antenna somewhere it's
not seriously blocked. He did say you could adjust the gain of each quadrant
separately to deal with some location issues.
Regards,
Greg Young

However, I can't take the idea of that ugly box above the panel!! Not to
mention the view it will block. I'm working on a plan to mount it off the
baggage compartment bulkhead with a mount that moves it up into the canopy
and about 8" to 10" forward so it's about 12" to 18" or so up behind the
passengers head. SHOULD have a good view of the sky and yet be out of the
way with the display sent to my EFIS units.

| Subject: | RE: rivets working |
Working rivets, sometimes called "Smokin Rivets" can be the result of
flight induced stress and strain from flight forces, airframe design
technique and riveting technique. Often, the removed rivets have
"Fretted" in their respective holes. Fretting is a form of corrosion.
The removal and re-riveting is one method of remediation. Installing
the replaced rivets "Wet" is another. There are lots of RV6 guys who
should pipe in as to whether this is a reasonably common incident.
I have completed a Pre-purchase Inspection and then subsequent
Conditional Inspection on a 9 year old, 900 hour 6A without such a
finding on a base white topcoat. Cracks which developed early in the
flight life have been followed without apparent growth. We measured
each and documented them for quantitative comparison next January.
These are valued issues to discuss. The original owner moved onto an
RV-10 and is now tackling an RV-3 project.
