This is not meant as a direct challenge to-reported empty weight claims m
ade by an individual builder-but in my experience, I take most such repor ts
with a healthy dose of skepticism.-Out of denial, people can fudge the
numbers when they get on a bathroom scale in the morning. -In the certif ied
world of production aviation, the only reliable and accurate measuremen t is
derived from using-certified scales and because of cost, most RV bui lders
do not use certified scales. -Everybody is not on the same page. Th e
absolute worst-type scales are the so-called Ruggles scales-Aircraft Spruce
sells.- Relatively inexpensive, they are little more than bathroom scales
with a lever type extension that acts as-a-multiplier. So inacc urate, when
I weighed my -6A using Ruggles scales, I had to move the aircra ft on and
off the scales TEN TIMES because I got a different reading each t ime.-There
was a 40 pound spread between the high end and the low end of the readings.
-I ended up accepting-an average to satisfy completing that part of the
documenting process.-I openly wonder how many builders would use the lowest
Ruggles scale measurement and then proudly tout how light th eir RV is!-
Since that time, I weighed-my -8 using far more accurate di gital scales
that our EAA Chapter invested in.- Just for grins, I did thr ee separate
measurements and the total weight did not vary by a single poun d. Still,
our EAA Chapter approved scales are not certified scales but I am satisfied
that my claim (1106 #) is-about as accurate as you can get sho rt of
shelling out $100 or more to use the regulatory standard: certified s

We used Ruggles, then 6 months later used certified scales. In our case the
certified was 50 lbs lighter!!! And of course more accurate. I agree the
Ruggles are highly inaccurate and not very repetitive, and when you multiply
by 2 for the moment arm, you are doubling the error!

Subject: RV-List: Steering Link
Shameless plug. Check out our steering linking for the RV series of
planes. The link is light and easy to install. You can get rid of
those pesky chains and get very positive steering in each direction.
Once you experience a steering link, you can never go back to chains.
Also, a must have is our pedal extensions for the 6/7/9 and soon for
the 8 and 10. The extensions improve the geometry between you feet and
the brakes. You will no longer drag your brakes or have your feet at
some unnatural angle to avoid the brakes. Those who have them have
wondered how they flew without them. The extensions install in
minutes!!!

Along with your shameless plug... How about a shameless subjective

Have you compiled data on cycles or hours?

I just had an A & P take a look @ my O-320-B2C=2C and he informed me
that neither one of my mags have an impulse coupling. This engine came off
an R-22=2C so apparently it used "shower of sparks to light off the engine.
I do have the coil section of an Electroair Ignition System=2C which would
need the mag replacement portion purchased from the manufacture. The quest

oximately $550.00 to complete the Electroair System=2C and about the same t

of the mags for an impulse mag. If anyone is interested in that option=2C c

You should be able to find a Bendix vibrator used. IMHO the shower of
sparks system is more reliable and trouble free than impulse couplings.
Most impulse coupling mags at one time or another have had ADs against
the impulse coupler. You don't need a special ignition switch, like the
certified planes do. You just need to be able to turn the vibrator on to
start, and off after start. I have the same model mags on my 200hp
Mooney. Work great.

RC,
I have a right mag with impulse coupling that I had overhauled (maybe
around 1993 or 4?) with the intention of using it on my RV6 but never
put it on. I did pull the gear off to put on the Jeff Rose electronic
ignition I installed on the airplane.

Salvage places like Wentworth, or contact some magneto shops and see if
they have some overhauled units. They used to cost around $300 new, now
the price is escalating.

Subject: | What propeller was involved in accident? |
The NTSB web site reports that a RV-8 that was fitted with a "3-bladed
wooden propeller" lost one propeller blade in flight at or near
Prague, OK on May 06, 2010. The private pilot, the sole occupant,
received minor injuries and the aircraft sustained substantial damage
during a forced landing.
Fortunately the pilot only received "minor injuries" according to the report.
The question that I have is does anyone know what propeller make and
model this aircraft was equipped with?
Thanks in advance,
Dale

He didn't say "all wood". He said "wooden". I'm not aware of any all
wood three bladed props.
Hoffman, MT and Catto make three-bladed props that have have wood core
blades covered with fibreglass.

Having a Catto 3-blade on my plane, I checked the stories and pictures I
could find on the net to see the prop. It doesn't look like a Catto. Mine,
is all black on the aft side. The one on N127TT was white near the root,
and, from the video, it looks like it wasn't painted on the forward side, or
at least it wasn't painted white. They commented that the prop was recently
installed.

Glad the pilot is okay.
For those of you flying 3-blade wooden designs, I feel your vague anxiety.
