    I found a couple different measurements, but haven't found the specs yet cold: 3.800" hot:4.031" diff: 0.231 (3/16" = 0.1876") The Vernaterm should extend at least 0.160" Between 150 F and 185 F (the temperature stamped on the Vernatherm 85 C ). These are individual opinions or measurements..I'm still looking for something official. Ralph E.

    One other addition: If you create a "sling" instead of exactly matching the rib shape, then you can face the wing either way.

    Subject: Re: Vernatherm stuck open?
    I forgot to mention that if the Vernatherm seems to be working, but oil temps are too high, you can try substituting the Continental vernatherm gasket in place of the Lycoming gasket, as the TCM part is half as thick and would allow the vernatherm to close off the bypass at a cooler temp.

    Subject: Re: Wing Cart
    Very true. I have my RV-10 wings in a cart with carpet slings for the leading edge. When I needed one wing out of the way, I borrowed a similar cart from a nearby RV-7 builder, which held my -10 wing just fine. Having a rigid cross piece to support the spar allows clamping the spar to the cart for piece of mind. I have seen an RV wing accidentally dropped on the in-board leading edge of the fuel tank. Not pretty- owner may need to build a new fuel tank.

    Subject: Re: Wing Cart
    A "sling" - that's an interesting idea. I saw a picture recently were somebody was using old firehose to hang completed parts from the shop walls. Do you just walk up to your friendly neighborhood firestation and ask for some old firehose? Heck, I bet if you explained what you were going to use it for, they may just give it to you. I've had that happen at HomeDepot a number of years ago when I needed some strips of carpet (probably for the wing cradle). /\/elson On Wed, 2 Dec 2009, John Morgensen wrote: > One other addition: If you create a "sling" instead of exactly matching the > rib shape, then you can face the wing either way. > > John > > Ian wrote: >> In addition to what David Nelson said about a wing cart: >> - Make one end the shape of the wing rib and the other end flat, to support >> the main spar as it exits the wing. >> - Decide how you want the wings facing before you cut the shapes.

    I have the opposite problem...oil temps too low!

    Subject: Re: Wing Cart
    I used two TGI trusses for my lower rails on the cart, they work great for attaching the castering wheels. The TGI was picked up from a contractors building site. You could go to the lumber yard, or a Menard's and get one. Good luck.

Mine were always falling off/breaking the wood because there is a lot of force acting through them. - I used ex-furniture casters which worked fine in the garage, but not on the more uneven driveway. - Make one end the shape of the wing rib and the other end flat, to support the main spar as it exits the wing. - Decide how you want the wings facing before you cut the shapes. Least space would be lower surfaces facing each other, but facing outwards lets you work through the access panels in the wings. - You don't actually need an outer frame if you use a relatively strong spine, like a 2X4 attached to a 2X6 but make it shorter than the distance from the landing lights to the inner wing. - I found foam strips, stapled in place around the curvature of the wing slot helped protect the wings.

    Subject: FS: AOA Pro from AFS
    I have a New Old Stock Advanced Flight Systems AOA Pro for sale. The unit has been partially installed, but never powered up. All the wiring is new and the harness is uncut as received from the factory. The 'brain box' was mechanically installed in my project for the last 2 years, but never wired up. The display was mechanically installed, but never wired or powered up. This unit sells for $1495 new, I'll sell for an even $1,000 and I'll pay shipping in the continental US. Email if interested -Mike Kraus Sent from my iPhone

    Subject: Vernatherm stuck open?
    Ralph, Ralph, your problem is more likely a failed temperature gauge or failed temperature sender than a problem with your Vernatherm. Are they Van's gauges? Van's instruments/gauges fail frequently. I replace at least one of my Van's gauges every 12 months. Van's gauges are inexpensive, but prone to failures. Sometimes the failures are only partial. For example, I just replaced my Van's tachometer gauge which was reading 340 rpm too low. Pete in Clearwater RV-6 completed in 2005

    Subject: Re: Wing Cart
    From: Greg Green <gpgreen@gmail.com>
    I made my cart from the box that the wing came in. I glued four pieces cut from the side of the box that the spars came in to make the center beam. I bought 4 casters from Harbor Freight. They were 4" in diameter and I just screwed them in with drywall screws. Since the wheels are so large, there hasn't been much resistance while moving it over the trough between the driveway and the garage floor, and the rough surface of the driveway. If the wheels were small, they would need much more secure attachment. The casters were $2 apiece, so easy on the pocketbook. The RV-9 shows a wing cart which matches a lot of the description given by others here on the list. A link to not very good pictures of the stand: http://www.bit-builder.com/rv9a/setup20091025.html On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 7:41 AM, Jim Fogarty, Lakes & Leisure Realty, Inc. < jfogarty@tds.net> wrote: > I used two TGI trusses for my lower rails on the cart, they work great > for attaching the castering wheels.

    Pete, My guages are part of an Advanced Flight Systems 3400 Engine Monitor....but I will be pulling the temp sensor and vernatherm and dunking them in boiling oil/water to test and compare with a candy thermometer during my conditional later this month. I'll let folks know the results....
