What I have done in the past is to extend the line from the wing down
through the mount so you can attach the line externally, then push the
pitot with the attached line into the mount and secure. Then later it
is servicable without opening the wing.

Hi Marty,
Here are some detailed pictures of my Gretz Heated Pitot in the RV-8. Might give
you some ideas:

| Subject: | 6A elevator trim tab set-up |
I have the manual trim cable installed enough to measure up/down deflection
on the trim tab. The manual says 35 deg. down (for nose-up trim) and 25
deg. up. How is that measured? I assume that since the hinge is at the top
skin, that you measure it from elev. top skin to trim tab top skin.
If that is right, I have about 34 deg. down, but only about 21 deg. up,
using the full travel of the trim cable (about 2.3"). Is this something I
have to fix? The only way to fix it that I can see is to rivet some
aluminum onto the arm of the trim tab so I could make a new attachment point
for the cable which would be a little closer to the tab. That would get me
more deflection for my 2.3" of motion.
The throw of the cable could be increased by removing the locking ring. I
don't think I want to do that.
Another issue is that the nut that secures the end of the cable. The one
which is welded to the little piece of steel. It is about 1/4" above the
plate that it is supposed to be pop riveted to. Is this typical? There is
no way I can attach it to the cover plate without a substantial spacer. I'm
also thinking of holding it in with a couple plate nuts rather than the pop
rivets. Seems like the cover plate would be next to impossible to remove if
the steel plate was riveted to it. Screws would make it easy to remove.
Has any one else had these problems?

I used non-skid rug underlayment. It appears to be like a fine mesh, knotted netting
that has been dipped in a soft foam rubber material. The end result is
a very flexible sheet of what looks like small beads stuck to each other. The
softness cushions the wing skins, the non-skid aspect keeps your work from sliding
around, and the gaps / holes in the material provide a place for drilling
and deburring chips etc to go such that they can't scratch the aluminum. It
can be gotten as drawer liner, but it is MUCH cheaper to get it as rug underlayment
from Target, Wally world, or some such.

Hi guys,
Ive been asked to post a page to support the sale of two sets of parts
donated to EAA Chapter 75 for two persons that have gone west. One was
building an RV10 and the other had a controllable variable pitch.
propeller. Either is a bargain for the person in need of them.
More specific information is on a page at the following link.
www.macsmachine.com/html/itemsforsale.htm
<http://www.macsmachine.com/html/itemsforsale.htm>
Id not post these, but when people pass, we do what we can to help.
Thank you for your understanding.

Tom,
I would not worry about the small deflection problem because you will find that
the trim tab is so sensitive that very little movement will be required of it.
As for your anchor plate that is a different story. Why is it so far removed
from the cover plate? It may be that if it were positioned properly you would
recover the lost deflection. Are your stab/tab holes in the correct location?

| Subject: | In Flight HD Videos |
Anyone out there recording in flight HD videos? I recall seeing a tail
mounted bullet camera and some semi-wide angle video that was fantastic.
I want to record in flight videos in a similar way. I thought about
mounting a HD bullet camera in the fiberglass section of the vertical
stabilizer but I cannot find any 12V HD DVR's that are an acceptable
size and weight. Most of them are low resolution Security DVR's.
A second fly in the ointment is I want to pull the audio in from the
audio panel vs. just an open air mic. There seem to be some combination
choices like these:
Really Small but not HD and no audio input.
Or this one:
1080P but no external audio feed. This is an all in one unit so no
remote mounting as you have to have access to turn on/off
The nice part about this is it's movable
Same with this unit:
1080P but no external audio feed. This is an all in one unit so no
remote mounting as you have to have access to turn on/off
The nice part about this is it's movable
Now I made a BIG mistake by mounting two DVD players in my RV-10 when
portable ones would have been a much better choice due to advances in
technology but I figured mounting an HD camera is not that big a deal as
the most important part is the capture device (DVR) but as I can't find
any (except the Sony for $3,000) maybe the helmet style is best.
I believe this is another example of something I want/need now but the
market has not quite caught up with my requirements.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Robin

Guys,
12 years build time, 13 years build time, it is what it is but I hope what happened
to me does not happen to you. I took me 6 years to build my RV6. Three
months after completion I had a heart attack and a triple by-pass surgery six
months after that. That was two years ago and I still have no medical. However,
the good news is today I saw a great AME and believe I will be flying again
real soon. So get to work before it is too late and you begin wishing you were
building an LSA. Besides, nothing flies better than an RV.

Marty,
I made a pair of short AN4 tubes that connect inside the mast and extend
outside (up in th the wing). There I have a set of AN4 connectors that
allow me to disconnect the 'mess from within the access panel.

Sort of depends on the diameter of your vent line ;')
If that information is on the web page, I can't find it...

Ambition is like a frog sitting on a Venus Flytrap. The flytrap can bite and
bite, but it won't bother the frog because it only has little tiny plant teeth.
But some other stuff could happen and it could be like ambition.
