    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 Trevor Davis RV-7

    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. David W.

    Subject: Re: RV-List_Lousy Idle
    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? Harry Crosby RV-6 N16CX, 535 hours ----- Original Message ----- From: "DEAN PSIROPOULOS" <dean.psiropoulos@verizon.net> Sent: Saturday, January 3, 2009 6:49:17 PM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: RV-List: RV-List_Lousy Idle 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. Dean Psiropoulos
