i'm confused - I thought HIDs couldn't (or shouldn't) be flashed

Subject: RV-List: Big Iron Envy
RV-List,
In the past I have mentioned that a number of pilots have
said how bright & noticeable my Dual Wig Wag HID lights are from the ground
when I am on approach during the daylight hours. This is exactly what I
wanted from the first day I saw my neighbor's Pilatus swoop into our home
field with his flashing HID's a blazing. I think the little boy inside of me
said. "me want."
Well yesterday on a dusk flight departing the LA basin ATC
called traffic "South West 737 you have RV-10 Traffic 10 O'clock, 17 miles
8,500 feet. November 110EE traffic 2:00 O'clock descending out of
one-one-thousand feet a Boeing 737." Before I could respond the South West
737 replied Traffic Insight. Moments later the SW pilot told me through the
controller "that is some light system he has on his RV-10, it's really easy
to pick up" COOL! Getting "at a boy's" from commercial pilots.
I consider the Wig-Wag HID's to be an important safety feature on my -10.
Seeing is avoiding.
The set up is nothing out of the ordinary with the exception
of dual 35W HID lights placed in the leading edge. If interested I have a
page that shows the install.
http://www.painttheweb.com/rv-10/Lights_LEDHID.htm . One more thing of note.
When on that page you will also see some pretty expensive (but nice) LED
Position Lights. My next build is an RV-8A and I have found a set of Red &
Green LED bulbs for around $8.00 each including wired sockets (eBay). These
appear to be an excellent and cost effective solution vs. the printed
circuit board LED's I used on my -10. Plus some significant time savings to
install as well. I will report results once flying.
Not exactly the LED's I purchased but this gives you an idea of the concept:

Many WigWag kits available. Most important that the controllers have a
warm up feature so the bulb is not cycled till it is warm.
Regarding Wig Wag:
http://www.duckworksav.com/WigWag.html
REMEMBER: Not all wig-wags will work with HID lights! Be sure you use
one specifically designed for use with HID units.
Duckworks True Solid State Flasher
This Flasher is great for new installations, or as a fantastic
replacement for a setup where you want to upgrade to support HID, or
your Flasher has failed or is inadequate and you want to use the
switches you already have in the panel.
* No 'Clacking' Relays - ALL Solid State - Silent operation
* Compatible with Halogen and HID Units
* Small and lightweight
* Alternating Flash at 1.1Hz Flash Rate
* Capable of handling up to 300W (150W per side)

Very important that the Wig/Wag has Warm Up Feature so HID does not
pulse till fully warmed up (30 seconds or so).
Good luck,

They can be flashed if they're allowed to warmup up first (30-60 seconds of
steady on). Even then the life is shortened but it's still measured in the
1000s of hours I believe.

Hi all,
In case anyone missed it, I thought I'd post this one last time. If you have
a NEW in the box NON WAAS 430, or a NEVER FLOWN 430 NON WAAS, we'll trade
you right now for a brand spankin new 430W. The unit has to have zero flight
hours on it, no repairs from Garmin (never sent back). It can be installed,
just not flown.
If you have such a unit, please get hold of me asap and we'll trade you out!
Cheers,
Stein

| Subject: | RV-4 Preview plan questions |
Hey guys, I have recently started going through my RV-4 (Nov 08 vintage) preview
plans. I am kind of following along as though I were really building the plane.
I am looking through section 6 which is the assembly of the empanage group.
The assembly instructions reference DWG numbers which I have figured out
with no problem. Where I am having issues is that it is referencing figure numbers
that I don't seem to have. I have Fig 6-1 through fig 6-4 but don't have
Fig 6-5 through 6-11 that are mentioned in the assembly instructions.
My question is:
a) Are these figures not included because these are just the Preview Plans and
are therefore included in the final plans?
b) Are the "missing" figures buried elsewhere in the plans and even though I have
looked, I just haven't found them yet? I would think they would be located
with the 6-1 through 6-4 but who knows.
c) Were these pages accidentally omitted from the Preview Plans package by Van's
(or their printer)?
I realize that Van's is excellent about answering issues like this but I figure
that I should leave their precious time to people that have started drilling
and cutting rather than just evaluating like me.

The figure numbers may refer to figures in "Vans builders manual".

The chip is an ST M48T02-150PC1 "Timekeeper RAM" chip. I bought one from Newark
or Digi-Key, I can't remember which. I believe that VMS specified an eight year
replacement interval, but my aircraft's manufacturer (Diamond) initially specified
two years in the maintenance manual, so I replaced it then. Subsequently,
Diamond changed the interval to agree with VMS's eight years.
Can you post (or e-mail) the instructions regarding tach time reset? I can't find
mine (maybe I'm the one who needs a new memory battery!).

I hope this hasn't been answered yet. The figure number refers to the figu
re as depicted in your preview plans. For example, on page 6-20 you are re
ferred to figure 6.18 for rolling the rudder leading edge. Figure 6.18 is
directly below it on the page. Everything you get with the kit is the same
pages again, for example Chapter 6 for the empenage, along with the drawin
gs which you reference placement and measurements. The large prints are id
entical to the small ones in the back of your book, drawings 3a-9a for the
empenage.=0A=0A Joe, AI9Z=0AGrid: EN46no=0ARV-4, Empenage=0APounding rivets
