| Subject: | re- glazed cylinder |
I just received an email asking how I knew that the cylinders on my O-
360 had become glazed.
I promptly lost the email in the fog of a too early morning. Send again
please.

| Subject: | Mounting Antennas On Bottom Fuselage Skin... |
Fellow Builders,
I'm getting ready to mount the COM (Commant bent whips) and Transponder (Commant
shark fin) antennas on the bottom of the RV-8. I plan to mount them to the
bottom fuselage skin right behind the aileron torque tubes. I think this is something
like .040" skin and its pretty rigid, but what are people's thoughts
on adding a skin doubler, perhaps a .032 piece something like 6"x8"? I'd rather
not, but on the other hand, I don't want to have the skin end up deformed over
time.
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone refer me to photos of side consoles for an RV-8/A. I remember
seeing builders modify the side brackets for more surface area and maybe
even a slightly different angle to mount switches, breakers or ??? Any
photos would be appreciated.

| Subject: | Oregon Mogas & HB3177 |
Folks,
Seems there is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel for Oregon Mogas
users. HB3177 proposes to remove Ethanol from 91 octane mogas, if the Guv signs
it, that is. The bill is here:
_http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/hb3100.dir/hb3177.intro.pdf_
(http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/hb3100.dir/hb3177.intro.pdf)
Seems boaters, classic car folks, hot rodders, as well as our own efforts
have made a diff. So Oregon pilots, please call or email your legislators or
Guv Kulongoski and support passage of HB3177 whether you use mogas or not.
Thanks,
Jerry Cochran

I used doublers for both my belly mounted antennae and have 600+ problem
free hours.
Cracking was my main worry, with the antenna wiggling in the prop
slipstream. Also, I'm aware of cracking on antenna mounts on spam cans, so I
figured what the heck. I would guess my doublers extend an inch or two
beyond the perimeter of the antenna bases, if that helps. I also think I
used a skim of proseal between those doublers and the skin.
Of course, I'd probably never have seen a crack anyway, but ya never know.

| Subject: | Button Labeling For Infinity Stick Grips... |
Dear Listers,
I've been pondering for a while how to "label" the various button functions of
the Infinity stick grips I have wired up in the front and back of the RV-8. I
spent some time today with the 'ol CAD program making a caricature drawing of
the Infinity stick grip and buttons and adding some labeling. My plan is to
silk screen the attached layout right to the instrument panel in the front, and
to a small metal piece for the back. The cockpit and instrument panel will
be black, so the diagram should pop nicely on that background.
Just thought I'd pass on my efforts.

| Subject: | Securing an RV-7 outboard leading edge |
I am building the wing of an RV-7A and need help on?fastening the outboard leading
edge ribs to the main spar. The job is obviously 2-man work, but how how those
of you who have built this wing fastened those ribs to the spars? have you
managed to use AN470-4 rivets and if so, how did you accomplish this? I ask
the question because there is no room for a?double offset cupped set to fit a
rivet head. Have you used a special tool or modified the set? Have you used "pop"
rived instead of solid ones? If, what rivets?
Thanks,
Bill

While we're on the subject, anyone have a picture of their "V" nav/gs
antenna install on the bottom of the fuselage, near the rear of the
tailcone? I'm not sure where to mount it and bring the wires in.

I had rotten luck with offset sets.
It's been a while since I did it, but if I remember correctly, I used a
long straight set & warped the rib to the side slightly. The
combination made room for the gun.
