| Subject: | Formation Invitation - San Jose RHV June 26, 2010 |
The Reid-Hillview Airport Association would like to invite the RV
Formation community to San Jose Reid-Hillview Airport (RHV) for our
June 26 Airport Day. There is no airshow or formal waivered airspace.
But there will be room to fly and an appreciative audience. The tower
understands the needs of formation and is very accommodating. If you
can bring a group of RVs, Rockets, or mixed formation, great. We'd
love to see you and fly with you.
I'll be in the little blue Lancair.

Thomas, which engine and prop do you have? Whether you have fixed pitch
or constant speed prop makes a difference.

Subject: RV-List: some approx V speeds
Anticpating the first flight of my RV-6A, can some one tell me typical
Vx and Vy, best angle of glide speed, and Va for these planes. I can
refine them after it is flying, but I'd like to have some idea of what
to expect to start with.

Jim,
I have a newly minted RV-6A with a similar set up, about 10 hours on it now.
I had to adjust my Side Tone on the SL-30 because of feedback thru the mike.
The procedure should be in your manual. I turned the side tone down and it's
now much better. Strange, I'm using DC 13X headset but the new DC 11X I
purchased for my co-pilot doesn't have the same problem. Also, the transmit
noise seems to be worse with the ANR turned off. Hope this helps.

Even with high RPM on the ground???

Does the noise change with changes in RPM in the air??
Horrible static sounds like fairly high current arcing is taking place
in the air. Pull all the accessories off-line (switches, fuses, ckt
breakers open) and try transmissions with only the radios powered. Turn
off the alternator. You may even have to turn off the mags and glide
for a transmission or two. Don't have any experience with P or E-mags
so don't know if they need or have P-lead filters. Let us know what the
testing does.

Jim,
I have the Icom A200 radio, but the symptoms sound similar enough. I woul
d suggest you
turn down the Mic Gain in the radio. For my first flights, it was painful
to key the mic as
the noise in my ears was like a sledgehammer. The cockpit of the RV's is
a really noisy
place and that noise gets into the mic and gets amplified. On the Icom,
there is a foil
sticky on the top surface of the radio. Peel that back and there is a var
iable resistor inside.
Note where it is, then turn it down some. I think in my case it was origi
nally about half way
and I turned it down to about 1/4 and took a flight to check. After about
three flights, you'll
zero in on where you want it. I hope this is the cause of your problem be
cause it is an
easy fix.

A little update... the river float is the yearly highlight of our fly-in,
and we have just gotten ourselves some new tubes to replace the old truck
inner tubes we've always used before. These are nice PVC inflatables with
comfortable seating, headrest, mesh bottom, quick-inflate valves, drink
holders, and rave reviews from other users. We tried 'em out Memorial Day
and can confirm they are far nicer and more comfortable than black rubber
tubes with slow leaks (as most of our old tubes quickly develop).
While not essential (we still have quite a few of the old tubes on hand and
can patch them), we are recommending that guests wanting to have the best
tubing experience this year order tubes like we did from Amazon or another
vendor. We paid 13.88 for the tubes with free shipping and I see they have
already gone up a bit as river season arrived. Might want to order NOW ;-)

Tom, This was my kneepad checklist when flying my 6A. Hope it helps. Note
all speeds in MPH.
