    Robin, I have lots of pictures of side consoles in my RV-8 (and a few opinions on what should go where, ha). After 75 hours of flight time, I have no complaints at all about placement, maintainability, or operation of any of the switches, etc. If you would like more pictures of construction, or information, let me know.

    Bill, I'm just "paying it forward". I received a LOT of help from the members of this list over the years. Does anyone know if the RV10 and RV12 wing designs are similar to the 7, 8 & 9A? I haven't worked on the wings of these two models (yet).

    The -10 has the same joggle-rib architecture according to some of the drawings that I have seen. Hopefully, they added a sixteenth to the spacing so mere mortals can build them..... -----Original Message----- >From: Charles Kuss <chaskuss@yahoo.com> >Sent: May 11, 2009 11:39 AM >To: rv-list@matronics.com >Subject: Re: RV-List: RE: Securing an RV-7 outboard leading edge > > > >Bill, > I'm just "paying it forward".

    Subject: RV Hat Badge
    I am laser engraving an RV accessory set that includes a Flight Bag Tag, Hat Badge, and Key Ring. A picture of the Hat Badge is attached. If you are still building and do not have an n-number yet, I can engrave the image of your RV model and leave the n-number blank or put something else there such as your email address, or whatever you like. Great for tagging your flight bag. Key Ring is just what you need for the RV and hangar keys. Best of all, the Hat Badge identifies you at fly-ins as a proud RV builder/owner! Email me direct at <mailto:legacylaser@att.net> legacylaser@att.net for an informational order form that has pictures of all 3 items in the set. (Please do not reply to this message to request the information!) Forgive me if you receive multiple copies of this email, it went to all RV related lists. Thanks, Jerry Calvert RV-6 N296JC Legacy Laser Creations Edmond Ok do not archive

    Karl Ahamer - thanks for your suggestion to secure the leading edge on the RV-& wing. It certainly sounds much easier than Vans's method. Another question - did you use platenuts and #6 screws on each of the 5 holes, rib to spar? Bill

    Hi Bill, Can't remember if I used them on all 5 holes,but some might be doable with rivets... I thought there are only 3 rivets per rib to main spar,but its been a few years now.

    Subject: Wonky Ammeter Redux
    Hello Folks, I have a problem that is very similar to the Aeroelectric Connection issue of the same subject from 2001. I've got a Vans -40,0+40 ammeter (load meter) connected to a 40mV shunt wired exactly (minus the fuselinks) as Figure Z-13 in the Connection. I also have a 10mV shunt wired to read the aux SD-8 alternator loads. The signal wires from the two shunts are controlled by a switch on the panel. Main is wired to show negative, aux is positive ammeter deflection. The following is my scenario: 1. Ground operation with engine off; power supplied to main alternator feed through a radio shack 13.8V 3A supply. 2. Ammeter power is on the E-Bus, with alternate feed switch off. 3. Power supply is providing ~3A and I measure 3.8mV across the shunt. Shunt voltage to ground is 13.08V. 4. Instrument reads ~3.5mV at the sense wire connections 5. Instrument power voltage is ~12.2 volts 6. Ammeter shows full-scale discharge (negative). If I turn power supply off, this doesn't change??? If I switch on the E-Bus alternate feed, the ammeter returns to zero. Instrument voltage increases to 12.6V. If I power the alternate alternator feed, ammeter shows slight positive deflection, but nothing near the 35% deflection expected. How robust are the Vans ammeters and should I invest in a new one or re-wire the system? Why would opening the E-Bus alternate path cause a change in ammeter reading? Many thanks. KJ
