Folks,
I'm in finally assembly of my RV-6A and have a couple AN970-516 washers
(sort of a "fender" washer). Can any -6A builder's advise me where these
are to be utilized? It seems to me the only -5 bolt is the one attaching
the rear spar to the fuselage spar carry thru fork; my drawings show using
AN960 washers in this application. Thanks for your assistance in advance.

I've got 2 new flop-tubes (fuel pickup aerobatic flight) that I bought from
Vans, but didn't use on my RV7A. If anyone's interested, I'll sell them for
$32ea ($60 for both) and I'll pay UPS shipping in conUS. Pics available on
request.

Hi Marty in Brentwood TN,
On the -7A's, I think these washers are used on the front axle to provide for a
slot of sorts for the nose gear fairing. Perhaps it's the same on -6A's.

I saw a short story on the local TV station web page (www.kvoa.com) saying
that an Van's RV-6 had an engine failure on approach to Deer Valley airport
in phoenix at 9:20am Saturday. No injuries and, they say, no damage to
plane. Any one know about this event?

As there are only two they may be the ones used on the wing leading edge to
fuselage attaching point.

Could they be for the wing leading edge/tank mount where the bolt is
adjusted to slide out of the bracket in an accident that pushes the wing
aft?

| Subject: | Wing cart pointer |
I'm looking for a pointer to a set of plans (or photos) for a "cart"
that I can use to hold my wings. Nothing fancy, just a plywood
and 2 x 4 cart with wheels is all I'm looking for.
I find that my garage is increasingly harder to navigate with
this growing pile of airplane parts!
Many thanks!

Subject: RV-List: Oregon Innovations WIg Wag vs Duckworks HID
Hey everybody, late last century, I bought a wig wag unit from a
company called Oregon Innovations. The phone number on the casing
doesn't work but the Yeller Pages has 503-720-1132 for Bob Haan. That
number does work but no answer today.
I am wondering if this flasher unit will work with new HID's from
Duckworks. Do many people have this flasher?

I know Bob Haan and he has been out of that business for a number of years
and sadly, has had a serious illness for the same time period. I'm sure
Duckworks can help you with it.

Hi Richard,
No plans, but a good idea of what I did:
http://caura.dyndns.org/gallery/Right-Wing/afo
I used a wing rib as a template for the cutouts. I notched the inboard ends to
keep the main spar from vibrating/bouncing off while moving things around.
I used the plywood from the "wing kit" and some 2x4's. There's a long 2x4 that
joins the two ends. On each end, there is a 2x4 at a 45 deg angle that attaches
to the side and the "long 2x4" (sorry, no pic - just some ascii art below).
These provide support for the sides so they "flop over".
|\ /|
| \ / |
| \ / |
-----------------
Things I'd do again:
- Find some old casters and install them. Makes moving _very_ easy.
- Bottoms of the wings facing outward
Things I'd change or do differently:
- You'll notice that for each caster, I doubled up on the 2x4's. I should have
sandwiched the vertical portions of the cradle w/ the 2x4's rather than stacked
the 2x4's. Reason being, the plywood is not the sturdiest material and now
there's a twisting moment on the plywood. So far, I've not had a problems but
it definately doesn't give me any good feelings, neither.
- I would not have made the outboard end of the cradle so deep; but rather about
4" below the main spar. Two reasons: 1) Makes taking the wing in and out a
little easier since one doesn't have to lift it so high. 2) I riveted on my
bottom skins with the wing in the cradle and I needed to be able to lift the
skin out of the way.
Things to look out for:
- If you're installing the Duckworks leading edge landing lights, be sure that
the overall length of the cradle won't position the cradle support where the
light will be installed.

/\/elson

Mine just stopped working. Tried in vain to contact the maker to no avail.
Probably no longer in business. They're not repairable either. Instead
contact http://www.maxpulsemaxdim.com/ and get something ten times smaller
and with more features plus way easier installation for $200! I just
installed it and did completely away with three light switches and some now
extra wires. Way cool!

If you're in a population center of more that a few thousand you'll probably
find a hand-me-down cart available near by. Just ask.
