I got to fly my first passenger yesterday - finished my phase I stuff
earlier in the month.
Alane (my lovely and patient wife) and I left Laurel airport and did a
1000' flyover of our house and the stables where she keeps her horse.
After that, a short trip to Cambridge airport for lunch and watching a
handful of Pitts Specials play in the aerobatic box there.
The weather looks good again this morning - I'll see who's out and about
today.

| Subject: | Re: elevator trim, manual vs electric |
Manual trim is far more precise when setting the trim. It gives a good
"touch" making it far easier to get the perfect trim. That is, it gives an
excellent feel for where the trim is or needs to be. Electric trim really begs
for a motor speed reducer to minimize overrunning (chasing) the desired
trim. I love my manual trim and would do it again. I moved mine from between
the seats (RV-6) over to the left of the cockpit mounted against the
fuselage left wall. I operate it with my left hand. The cable slopes down from
the control knob on a 45 degree angle and then loops up along the fuselage
wall (near my left knee) and reward running under the left longeron to the rear
of the airplane. Neat and out of the way.

Hello Listers,
I've noticed headsets on side-by-side RV's hanging on hooks in the
baggage compartment. It's likely that the bulkhead panel screws serve
dual duty for that. Has anyone made or obtained hooks that they are
happy with? Info would be great. Any general info on cabin
organization, where you put your checklist etc., would be appreciated.
By the way, we're headed south for the winter. Where should we go in
the areas of Venice (Florida), Rockport (Texas) and Sedona (Arizona) to
check out other folks' RV's?

For the past 12-years=2C my headset hook has been under the panel.
When parked in the sun at a fly-in and having the headsets out in the bagga
ge compartment or on the seat=2C they get way too hot to wear. Also less l
ikely to be stolen when they cannot be seen.
My under panel hook is made from scrap 0.025 or 0.032 bent as a J with a sl
ight bend about 1/4" in from the sides that gives some rigidity to the shee
t metal.
It is more like a L with a lip on the end than a J.

| Subject: | Gretz Heated Pitot Tube attaching |
Nice installation Matt, but my Pitot was purchased long ago without the
electronic module and the tube sticking up from the pitot is only about 1.5"
long, terminating in a AN4 tube fitting.

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

Bob:
Yes, I think they're in the right place. There's no discretion in placing
the hole in the HS rear spar - there is just barely room for it between the
2 reinforcing bars. As for the elvator, I checked my plans. My drawings are
from 1996 (!). The hole in the elevator spar is shown, but no dimensions are
specified to locate it. It is towards the bottom of the spar. I could have
put it a bit lower (maybe 3/16") before running into anything, but I'm not
sure that would still line up well enough with the hole in the H.S. There's
only a 2 or 3 inches between the HS spar and the elevator spar. I just
made it look like the drawing.
I noticed that I didn't have the fork screwed onto the threaded on of the
cable completely, so I did that which allowed me to pull the cable a about
3/8" further aft. That brought the anchor plate into slightly better
position. Still looks like I'm going to need a 3/16" spacer between it and
the cover plate though. I'll call Van's in the morning.
