Dave,
I have flown to Vans several times from Wisconsin where I live. If you
use Boseman Mt. or a little north of there, as your course line, you can
make most of the trip @ 10,000 ft or less. If you can borrow a oxygen
system, it is a good safety item to have in case you have to go higher
for short periods for weather etc.
Note: I experienced hypoxia on one of my first triips west. I did not
have and oxygen system and I was foolishly flying above 10,000 for a
fairly long period.. I realized it when I attempted to perform routine
course corrections and had difficulty doing it-----
Good Luck.

Subject: RV-List: Flying from East of Rockies to Vans
Greetings:
I am starting to plan a trip from Ohio to Tacoma, Washington this
summer in an RV6A. I know there have been quite few RVers out there who
have made the voyage from East of the Rocky Mountains to Vans in Oregon.
I was hoping some of you who have made that trip might send me your
flight plan or path of travel over the Rockies.
Thanks in advance

Ken,
I installed TruTrak servo brackets in my RV-7A while building.
There's nothing to worry about with the empennage. One servo goes in
the wings and the other one in the fuselage, as others have pointed
out. So there's nothing to worry about until you're about finished
with your wings. One aileron bellcrank bracket is replaced with the
one designed to hold the servo in the wing. You can see how I did it here:
http://www.europa.com/~swayze/RV-7A/Wings/20080908.html
And here's how I installed the bracket for the pitch servo in the fuselage:

Good luck with your project.

What is your altitude tolerance/experience? Can you pick your time of
flight to accommodate the weather? Is time a factor? Do you have
mountain flying experience of any kind? If so, what kind?
With RV's one can overfly nearly any mountain range you like. Your personal
altitude tolerance will dictate more specifically what you do. That, and the
availability of O2. One route I've taken (from SE Michigan) included
overnight at Rapid City, SD, from there more or less direct to Casper WY,
Riverton and Jackson Hole. From Jackson: thru the pass into the Snake River
plain and the ridges to Salmon, ID, Missoula, MT, Sand Point, ID, Portland,
OR. Also, from Sand Point, southwest toward Spokane, thence west more or
less direct to Skagit County north of Seattle. Takes you past the south end
of Lake Chelan. Some, when flying into the Portland area fly the Columbia
River Gorge. I have not had to do that but I understand the rule is; stay
to the right. Jackson, WY is more or less 6000' elevation and staying in the
valley permits flight at 8500' or so. The pass at Jackson, as I recall is
~8000'. I have also used the Snake River Plain from Jackson past Idaho
Falls, Boise, then toward Yakima. If you prefer to stay a bit further
south, Omaha, North Platte, Rawlins, Bear Lake, Jerome,ID, Boise works
pretty well. If you find yourself near Casper WY, expect it to be windy. I
landed there and felt it necessary to tie the airplane down while visiting
the FSS. The highest I've flown to the northwest is 12,500' over Glacier
National Park to Kalispell. Time at that altitude was less than an hour. I
might have gone almost that high briefly across the Cascades going in to
Skagit County, near Anacortes.
I fly a 160hp RV-4 with a Sensenich metal prop twisted to the max for that
forging. I only fly VFR and these trips are restricted to daylight. Contact
me if you wish to talk further.

| Subject: | Fiberglass Windscreen Bezel |
Hey guys,
Well, the fiberglass windscreen bezel is THE job I have been dreading the most
about this RV-8 project. I'm happy to report that tonight it is complete! And
it turned out really nice. I documented the whole process on my RV-8 builder's
blog here (11 log entries):
http://www.mattsrv8.com/users/display_log.php?user=MattsRV8&project=638&category=2973&log=98294&row=11
It took two tries to get it the way I wanted it. The first time, I didn't get
the line straight left-to-right and the dip in the center wasn't in the center.
The second time around, I made sure it was dead on!
I've attached a few photos of the process (more on the blog).

Dear Listers,
I've got this Propeller wrench from Avery:
http://www.averytools.com/p-734-hartzell-style-propeller-wrench.aspx
But what is the multiplier for the torque conversion when using this extension
on a standard 1/2" drive torque wrench?
One other question, on those hartzell prop bolts, do you run a safety wire though
those rollpins pins in the bolt heads?

Matt,
I can't remember the conversion and I am sure that someone else will answer
that before I can get to my hangar and look at my torque wrench that has the
conversion in the box. I can say yes you do safety wire the bolts. Alxo it
looks like the piece you made behind the prop cut out in the spinner is very
close to the prop. You should be very carefull with that as the4 prop will
flex backwards and will wear if the spinner filler is too close. Both Dan C
and I had this problem. Don

Matt,
First, thanks for the list.
The torque is a ratio of the claw to the handle. If the crow foot is 1"
from the square hole to the center of the nut and the handle is 10" from
the square peg to the center of the handle, then the ratio is 10%. If
you apply 100 in/lbs it will be 110 at the nut.
