(Steve Koziol) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 11:41:15 AM PST US Subject: RV-List: RV-9A Main Gear Footprint From: Ian 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.

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.

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?

When that happened to me, they reset things and all was well. ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 07:01:35 PM PST US From: Steve Koziol Subject: Re: RV-List: RV-9A Main Gear foot print... 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. - Steve Koziol N424JK- 70 hours of flying fun.- --- On Thu, 6/10/10, Joe & Jan Connell wrote: From: Joe & Jan Connell 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...) - Joe Connell Stewartville, MN - - =0A=0A=0A ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
