Drill two or three holes through the fairing and through the wheel
pants. Hold fairings in place with clecoes. Glass the fairing onto the
pant. Fill the holes and file everything smooth.

I thought the link would take you directly to the add in barnstormers.
Look in Experimental->Van's RV. The adds are posted newest first and the
one I found was posted April 21. The plane has an O-235.

Ollie is correct. I was thinking the RV-12A which uses the Rotax. Yes, the

Larry MacDonald is the default winner of the "Strange Odor Contest."
Larry's guess was chipmunk MRE's in the heater shroud. In fact, the
odor was emanating from the carcass of a very large moth which had
crawled several feet down 1" scat tubing to the very bottom of the cabin
heat shroud around the exhaust.
I found the well-done moth after a complete disassembly of the muff.
Thanks to all for suggestions. Jim

Jim,
I know of a guy that let his plane sit thru the winter in
Rochester N.Y. and then in the spring took the plane for a spin. Shortly
into
the
flight he smelled something burning. He brought the plane back and on
inspection he found that Chipmunks had hidden their nuts in the heater
shroud
at
the muffler. HTH

Hope somebody can help out here... Last two flights in 6A(500hr TT,
hangared, south Texas) have noticed stong odor right at liftoff. Something
between dead rat and burned pizza. Definitely organic, not wiring, rubber
or
oil. It comes and goes during flight, maybe a little stronger at zero G.
Fades at touchdown, completely gone by shutdown. No other aircraft
anomalies
observed.
There is a faint odor similar to burnt toast at the oil filler door.
Detailed engine inspection revealed no bird nests, dirt-dauber dormitories
or
other usual suspects. No wires or hoses anywhere near hot parts. Nothing
in cabin heat or fresh air scat tubing. Next to check: tail cone and wheel
pants.
Would sure like to hear from anyone who has solved a similar problem. And
yes, the pilot's diet and bathing habits have been ruled out

Subject: RV-List: fiberglass fairings
Hi:

| Subject: | Carpet Pattern Ideas For RV-8 Foot wells... |
Does anyone have some ideas and/or pictures of how they carpeted the passenger
foot wells on their RV-8? Specifically how they integrated it with the cabin
area carpet piece. I'm thinking of just a square hole cut out around the parameter
of the foot well, then adding some sort of insert into the foot well itself.
That's a lot of weird angles, though.
Thanks!
