Subject: | Double-sided Tape |
The mails regarding using double-sided tape to hold the tab in place
when bending refer.
However it seems futile to chase Van's hit and miss method when there is
a far simpler and quicker method. This worked for me:
Take a 3/4" thick plank, trace out the "V" that the tab end makes on the
face of the plank, leaving a 2" border on the sides and bottom of the
"V" ( the top end of the "V" is flush with the forward end of the tab),
cut out this "V", insert the trim tab into the "V" cutout and pinch it
in place with the other end of the cutout triangle. Put a clamp across
the ends of the plank to hold the tab nice and snugly and bend at will
without any slipping. I found a bit of masking tape applied to the
surface of the tab prevented any scratches and aided in the clamping.
Running a rivet gun along the bend gives it a nice straight even finish.
Drill the holes for the rivets with the tab still in the clamped
position for accuracy.
Hope this helps

Subject: | Zaon XRX - mounted |
I finally got the XRX mounted and out of my sight-line!! Works great and
you don't have that ugly on the top of the panel. Use a RAM mount to mount
if off the baggage compartment wall. Has a good view of the sky in all
directions and feeds into my new GRT screens. I've finally gotten the
web-site updated (had to learn new software)..you can see the photos under
the What's New tab on the web-site www.n142ds.com.
Oh .. if the web-site doesn't display properly .. I'm still learning! :-)
Thanks for all the suggestions from the group.

I have a 13 pound composite prop (wood overlayed with glass) on my O-360 and it
idles just fine. I seriously doubt that your idle problem is prop related. Why
add 30 or 40 pounds or more to your airplane if not necessary?

Thanks all for your inputs:
I'll be exploring every avenue that has been mentioned just to be sure
(cheap things first then on to more expense). The intake leak seems to be a
big "seller" and I'm getting a bit of feedback on wood propellers causing
idle problems on the big four cyl Lycomings, especially with fuel injection
installed. Wish I'd known this sooner and I would have opted for the
Sensenich fixed pitch but it's nice to have all you folks out there with
your collective knowledge to get me going in the right direction. If anyone
else has some more thoughts please forward them to me so I can check all
possibilities.
If everything checks out ok and there are no engine related culprits, I've
decided I'll take the plunge and order a Sensenich prop. Problem is that it
takes several weeks to get one and I don't really want to wait. So...does
anyone already have a Sensenich prop and spacer laying around that they
won't be using for a few months(for 180 HP Lyc 0-360)? If so maybe I could
purchase it from you and have the one I order shipped to you when it's
ready. Just thinking ahead. Also, if I go ahead with the metal prop, I'll
be selling my 70x82 Sterba wood prop (carved in 2006), spacer, crush plate,
Landoll inertia ring and fitted spinner (painted silver) so if anyone wants
a wood prop for 0-360 Lyc let me know and we'll work out a price for all or
part of the assembly. Thanks.
