YES!!!!!! It happened on Friday 24th July.
I flew my baby while Gerry Humphreys flew chase in his 'Flying Cow' RV-7
EI-HUM and his son Harry did a video of the entire flight and produced the
edited versions below.
(His other productions on YouTube are well worth a look.)
Check out the following links to see the first flight:

2 Bose X headsets...one has about 1000 hours on it, throwing in and out of a
cargo plane, hot/cold wx, and never once...had to send for repair. Always
hear of lightspeeds customer service, but if you spend more up front, you
will never be without a headset. I know many people who love their
lightspeed customer service..because they use it all the time :-)
Personally, I'd rather not have something fail and never have to use the
customer service, especially when flying..

The problem is, over 5 years and 2 headsets, Ive sent mine in 11, yes
eleven, times.
Ive spent as much on shipping as I paid for em.
While they keep fixing em, they keep breaking.
Absolutely lousy construction on the 20-30g's. Junk.
Service good. Headsets junk.
2 pair of 30 3g's sitting on the shelf.

They did the same for me when the stem broke off one side of the mach one
inside the custom ear mold. This has happened twice and each time, a prompt
replacement with a refurb unit and all new accessories, case, tips, cables -
no questions asked. Fabulous service at no cost except one way shipping.
They took good care of me on my 15k and 20k ancient ANC headsets, too. Never
a charge or a question - just prompt repair of any issue.
I'm a longtime customer and can't wait to be a repeat offender with the Zulu
series.

I want to relay my experience with Lightspeed Aviation customer service.
About three years ago, when I finished my RV8, I was in the market for
headsets. My wife didn't want one that went over her head and messed up
her hair so we got a Lightspeed Mach1. Worked great and she loved it. On
our last breakfast run she dropped the Mach1 on the floor of the airplane,
when she picked it up it got caught on something and pulled the mic off the
boom. I could not find my receipt or any paperwork on the headset. So I got
Lightspeeds phone number off the web site and called their customer service.
I told her we broke it and needed it fixed, she was very nice and gave me a
hardware return number and took my info. They also sent an email with the
same info. I mailed the Mach1 off and got another email when they received
it. Expecting a call with the cost to repair it, I was surprised to get
another email saying it was in the mail back to me and a tracking number. I
week to the day I received, not a repaired headset but, a new one in a new
case at NO charge. I have nothing to do with the Lightspeed folks but I was
so impressed with there product and their customer service that I thought
somebody should know.

| Subject: | Hooker Rotary Harness Installation |
Dear Listers,
I was looking at how the Hooker Harnesses were going to be installed and noticed
that the triangle mounting pieces have a small, "bushing" in the hole where
the bolt goes. The triangle piece is already about twice the thickness of Vans
standard belts and its a tight fit to get them squeezed into the mounting forks.
But with the bushing in there it seems impossible. Are you suppose to just
remove the bushing, or some how mash it down? I don't get it...
Thanks!

| Subject: | Conduit Placement in QB RV7 Wings - UPDATE |
Thanks John, I got all of the stuff from Home Depot yesterday and kept the
package in case someone else needed to know the part numbers. (the help
there did not know they had them and I had to hunt them up myself) They
come in 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch for 1/2 and 3/4 PVC pipe. I used the more
expensive type of 3/4 pipe because airplane stuff is supposed to be more
expensive,... right ? Anyway, the cheap PVC stuff was .89 for a 10 foot
piece and the expense stuff was 4.95 so naturally I bought the high dollar
stuff. The clamps were 2.95 for a package of 5. (See picture 295 for part
numbers)
30 minute job,... done deal.

Now that's pretty neat! Between the Vans Diagram on an earlier post and
this, I think I can get it done without any holes. Really like the joist
hanger idea, never saw that before and it's a lot easier than adel clamps.
Thanks a bunch, as usual, the list is just an amazing source of almost
instant information.

Can't decide if this is a good thing to do or not. I need to run conduit in
my QB wings but there are no consistent tooling holes anywhere except where
Vans put the pitot holes and the one tooling hole above that. (actually
below if the wing is right side up).
It would be pretty easy to put a 3/4 hole in place of the pitot holes and in
the tooling holes above with a 3/4 step drill and a 4 foot extension but it
would get pretty close to the spar. Is there an edge distance issue with
this or does it even apply? Doing it anywhere else without the tooling
holes is problematic?
Any comments, suggestions, pictures appreciated. <<...>>

RV7 only the wings left,..
This is what I did: CPVC? (lighter than regular PVC) and joist hangers from
Big R Ranch Supply.

You can take the bushings out of the mount. Just make sure you don't crank
down too tight on the bolts. The triangles shoudl pivot freely in the air
frame mounts.
