| Subject: | RV-9A Main Gear Footprint |
Joe,
This was recent enough in my experience that I can tell you that if you
use a panel truck that is 8' wide you will need to wiggle the wheels
past the door frame one at a time to get it in. I think I even had to
remove the AN4 bolts that I'd had installed to get it to fit. I think,
with the weight of the engine pushing the mains out it's going to
around 7'10 to the outside of the structure of the wheels.
Good luck. Ian Brown C-GOHM 55hrs

G3i will in KOSH again this year in hanger A booth #1148 demonstrating and releasing
the new Series-SC (Single Channel) which focuses on curing the issues of
the off-set ignition timing events with the EI and magneto systems. The G3i
SC module reads the variable/ advance-timing signal from the existing aftermarket
electronic mag. The SC tracks it, and timing it in perfect synchronization
to fire the magneto at the same timing event as the electronic mag. With a
multiple spark technology. Dual EIs and keeping your existing single magneto
as an added redundancy.

| Subject: | XM weather updates |
Guys,
I've finally started the Phase I of my RV-6A, after a 12.5 year build.
Thanks to many for there help over the years.
I'm having a bit of an issue with the weather updates to my Garmin 496.
Garmin advised me to update the software to version 4.2 which I've done but
it didn't help. Researching the posts on this list suggests that others
have noticed long delays in updates to their units, but I didn't see where
there was a solution given. Did anyone who had long updates, and I mean
things like Nexrad being over an hour old, find a fix for this?

Call XM. When that happened to me, they reset things and all was well.

Hi Joe.- I moved my RV from my home to the airport last summer for final
assembly and used a car carrier tow truck.- With the weight of the aircra
ft bearing down on the main wheels, it will cause the main gear legs to spr
ead a bit.- So, in order to pull the plane up onto the sloped deck of the
car carrier, you will need to wrap a-cargo strap around the main gear le
gs and then place-2x4's along the side rails.- The reason for this is t
hat usually the edge of the rails are angled outward and the 2x4's raise th
e wheels up enough so the tires clear the edge ever so tightly.- Once up
on the truck, strap her-in and off to the airport you go.
-
Hope this is helpful.

Subject: RV-List: RV-9A Main Gear foot print...
Guys,
-
I've been building an RV-9A in the basement for a number of years - time to
take it to the airport.
-
I've raised the RV with an engine hoist, removed the main gear, and placed
the fuselage in a wheeled cradle to get it through the basement door.
-
I forgot to measure the width of the main gear before I did this.- I need
the info to determine the width of the trailer to transport it to the airp
ort.
-
Can anyone give me the measurement - I'm guessing about 8 ft.- (My old ag
e is catching up with me...)
