Vans official answer was that it was OK based on the bolt length - but this is important also...

In order to get the hole in the AN-310 castle nut to line up, each set took an extra (meaning a total of two) AN960-7 washers 'under' each castle-nut. It was not possible to get a standard wrench around the top-left castle-nut to tighten it. Since each set required an extra 960-7 washer to get it to line up, can I use one size shorter bolt for the re-do and eliminate the extra washers all around - also allowing me to get a regular wrench on the top-left nut??? >> Ralph >> RV6A N822AR @ N06 >> >> >> >> >> >> > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:56:19 AM PST US From: "Fisher Paul A." Subject: RE: RV-List: Nexus 7" Tablet / 8" iPad Thanks Jon! I was particularly curious about the 7" tablet. I'm glad to h ear that you think it is useful on that size. The 10" would show more data , but it takes up more room too. I know you have a small cockpit (yes, siz e does matter!), but do you think the 10" would be more useful? At this po int I'm trying to decide if I want a 7 or 10 inch model. I've got a 5" Galaxy Player (it's what I already had!), and it is just too small to be useful. If I zoom out far enough to see where I'm going, I can 't read the screen - if I zoom in to read the screen, I can only see about 10 miles ahead!

Makes me wonder, can I plug it into the USB port on my Skyview to upload the routine data files needed and will it run on ship's power thru the USB cable from the Skyview? Better ask Dynon....

With the zoom level set such that I can easily read the details, in full screen mode, and my position scrolled to the 'bottom' of the display; I can view about 40 miles 'forward' and about 10 miles either side of my route. Zooming out one level more, I can view about twice those distance. The details (frequencies, altitudes, etc.) are still readable at that zoom but I have to work at it. This is ok for semi-familiar areas or just general x-country navigation. I suspect (no experience) that a 10" unit would be uncomfortably big in my little (RV-3) cockpit. If there were enough panel space, mounting something this big on the panel would be really neat (like Mike Dwyer has done in his Q200). One thing my little brain had to absorb during the switch to the EFB was the inability to see the "whole sectional" - I didn't realize how much I looked way ahead when on an x-country. You can still do that with an EFB but it takes scrolling. When doing this, the 'return to my position' button is your friend. The other operational change that I made was to make better use of my old, panel mounted, Garmin 296 GPS. Things like airport and airspace info are all there. Previously, I would refer to the sectional for this info and so it has taken some effort to switch from looking at a sectional to referring to the GPS instead. The result of this is that I need to reference the tablet less often. I haven't yet figured out a good way to view MOA type airspace details on Naviator. It is probably there though. Stay low and go fast, I guess. Jon http://jdfinley.com From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Fisher Paul A.
