I'm looking for reasonably inexpensive jack solutions for an RV-7A. I know I
could google "RV airplane jack" but there are far too many people named
"jack" building these things. :*)
Also, and not at all related to the question, the RV-7A came home this
weekend after 40 hours of flight testing at a secret location (OK, it was
Stein & Jed's hangar at LVN). So we gave rides.
http://rvnewsletter.blogspot.com/2012/08/n614ef-returns-home.html
and we've been talking about this among the not-finished community for a few
months -- a builder's motivation program for people who are building RVs to
match people with those with flying RVs for periodic rides to zip people
through those difficult periods when it seems like the plane will never get
finished. It's true, builders could ASK for a ride, but a lot of people
don't want to ASK. Instead, my idea assigns several builders to an RV pilot
who would provide a ride once a year or so and be available for "emergency
therapy."
Anyway, it's an idea I've been kicking around and wonder if there's anything
around being done like it.
In the meantime, if there are builders in Wisc/Iowa/Minnesota in need of a
shot in the arm, let me know.

Search VAF for Harbor Freight jacks you should find nice wing jack made with
Harbor Freight cylinders. There are plenty of other types but I've found th
at a wing jack is the best. You only need one. Do one side at a time.

Bob,
It's funny that you mention that! My buddy Bryan (RV-8 builder) and I were
just talking about this last night! As builders, we were bemoaning the
fact that it's hard to find money to rent while building, but that it's
very important to stay motivated by "getting up" every now and then. We
left the conversation with an agreement to look into sharing time in a
rental every so often to keep each other current and engaged. I like your
idea too about the RV community assigning "motivational mentors." This
could bring a whole new level of involvement to EAA chapter members who are
flying. By the way, congrats on having your bird out of Phase 1. I hope
you get to keep her for a long time.

RC,
I've been using the NAPA 7220 self-etching primer in spray cans. It sticks
well, is tough, very convenient, & easy to use and apparently lots of RVers
use it. (I've even seen it used in EAA how-to videos)
It is a little pricey - about $10/can. However it does go on sale
occasionally. I bought 3 cases at about $6/can when it was on sale at the
Garden Grove Napa auto parts back in January. If you are vigilant you
should be able to find it on sale.
