| Subject: | RV6A Project Resurrected |
Hi everybody, I'm restarting an RV6A kit and would like to say hello.
I was hoping to hang out here and ask questions from time to time. I
was a part of this list many years ago and found it very helpful.
I purchased my slow build from Van in 1996 and worked hard for about 5
years 2300 hours. I got to the finishing kit then moved into a house
with not enough room. I spent years arguing with my city to allow a
big garage extension and then over a year building. I've now built
shelves for everything and have unpacked all my old building stuff.
I'm ready to get back to building.
I have always planned to get my engine from Bart at Aerosport Power. I
would like the latest version of a fuel injected dual alternator CS
engine that will mount a Sam James cowl and Vetterman exhaust with
mufflers. Propeller selection might be more towards quiet and smooth
over pure speed. I want to be quiet. I should ready to get the engine
within the next year.
I will probably head for Langley Airport when I am ready to fly. Does
anyone know what the going price of a hanger there these days? Lease,
purchase or rent?

Norman,
You've described my airplane....except I have a slider.....
AerosportPower IO360B1F6 with 9.2:1 pistons, LASAR Ignition, AFP
injection, Vetterman Dual crossover heater muffflers, SJ cowl/plenum,
dual alternators (both B&C), and MT 3 blade (quiet/smoooooth).
Sorry, can't help with the hangar - but I can give you my stories of all
of the above.....
I'm in Laurel, DE...USA - other side of the continent (I'm guessing
you're in British Columbia?!)

Hi everybody, I'm poking around my long dormant resurrected kit and
noticing the right side optional brake pedal lines are white plastic.
Does any one sell a kit to do this with nicer lines? Can small AN
fittings be used here?
I was reading about a brake pedal improvement where the short pivot
point bolts are replaced with AN3-60 bolts. The result is one bolt all
the way across the bottom of the pedal instead of a single bolt on
each side. The better alignment of the single bolt shaft reduces the
possibility of binding and makes the pedals operate smoother. Is this
true?
I also read some time back about one complaining about draggy brakes
and the need to upgrade the springs on the master cylinders for
stronger ones. Is this true?
And what about the brakes? My Vans wheels and brakes and tires are now
about ten years old. Is it worth while to install Grove wheels and
brakes? Do they work better?
http://www.groveaircraft.com/56-1a.html
Who makes the best tires?
Thanks for your support....

Hi everybody, I'm looking for suggestions on interior LED lighting.
I'm after some small fixtures to light the floor and luggage areas.
Also looking for some kind of LED strip light to do the panel. Any

I believe they have kits for your RV, but the website has little info
beyond what hose and fittings they have available.

On the non pressure side, they are nice as you can see if there is RED fluid
in the lines.

If you mean Mil 5606, consider an improvement:
"Standard" brake fluid for GA aircraft is MIL-H-5606. This fluid has
been around forever and works fine, but can be improved upon.
MIL-H-83282 was introduced a few years back and is a synthetic upgrade.
It performs better in every regard, but of special interest is the flash
point. 5606 has a flash point of around 225 whereas 83282 is around
425. This can be a factor with RVs because there have been several
reported cases of brake fires on RVs and some have taken the whole
aircraft with it. Do yourself a favor, upgrade the standard MIL-H-5606
to MIL-H-83282: Royco 782 or Aero Shell 31.

I got a strip of led lights from ACS. Used double sided tape under the glare shield
and wired it to the dimmer for the post lights. Works great.

Hi Norman,
I'm planning on installing 2x (one for the pilot and one for the passenger) of
these to the channel between the rollbar and rear bulkhead (tip-up). Each head
has a pair of red and white LEDS that'll be controlled by a locally small
switch to select either red or white.
