Wow the paint came out great! I'm really interested to hear your
perspective on the Blue Mountain stuff once you get flying. Keep us posted.

I have a couple of AutoCAD layouts you are welcome to. I have build quite a
few panels for assorted airplanes using these shapes so I think you will
find them pretty good....but check them anyway with a full sized drawing
first. I have a piece of 1/4" alum. I am planning on laser cutting for my
panel. It is thicker than stock but heavy enough to machine countersink for
flush instrument screws. I figure that by the time I am done cutting there
wont be much left of the original panel anyway so no big weight penalty.

Hi,
A product I had recommended to me by an A&P was DuPont's PrepSol ("5
Star" brand has the similar product called Wax and Grease Remover.) It
should be available in the local car paint shop in quarts and gallons. I
used it on a Cessna to clean some overspray off and it worked well
without harming the Plexiglas. I have not used it on Van's windows so if
you go this way try it on a scrap first.

Hi All,
I've lost the email, but someone asked about ship dates of finishing
kits and if they had the aluminum or stainless spacers (part number
U-1032.) I checked and my kit was packed on 2-6-06 and included the
stainless steel spacers.

I'm running the wires and finding the battery cable a puzzle. How have
others routed the cable once you reach the front spar? In the tunnel and
forward, through the firewall to the starter contactor? I'm not even sure
where to mount the starter contactor.

I ran mine down the left side of the plane, under the baggage floor in
the back then through the side wall under the door. The starter
contactor bolts to the firewall on the middle left side.

Albert,
The firewall is preset for a starter solenoid on the upper left side
(pilot side, facing forward). I ran the battery cable along the left side
of the fuselage over the top of the spar.

Al, I'm in the midst of doing the same thing. I grounded my batteries
(dual batteries, dual alt) locally (@ their mounting point. This was
discussed on Aero Electric connection and got Bob Nuckols blessing) and
ran a #2 welding cable forward on the left side (for starter)+ 2 10 AWG
for main batt bus & Aux batt bus. Ran #4 cable forward on the left side
for Main bus + 10 awg for Aux Bus.

| Subject: | GM LS2 Engine - opinions |
I'm a long way from engine selection, but I've been hearing a lot of
good commentary on the GM LS2 engine (used in the 2005 Corvette). The
ones I have seen on aircraft have been derated to a maximum of 4500 RPM
(redline is over 6500 RPM) limiting the HP to 300HP.
The engine new is less than $6k. Of course, all the mods will add up to
closer to $20k altogether.
Opinions?

I just received my new wheel from Matco today and already had the spacers so it
was swap time. After reassembly and torque to standard value (160-190 in lbs)
I was dismayed to see the spacers turning with the wheel. Only way this can
happen is that the axle is slighly longer than the wheel/bearing/spacer assembly.
I'm going to call Van's tomorrow to see what they recommend before shaving
a bit off the axle or doing another mod like set screws through the fork, etc.
Seems like with some preload they wouldn't be able to turn at all...

Why not run the battery to buss wire from the hot side of the starter relay
to the primary buss.(less weight and wire) also hook the batteries in
parallel so that either or both may be used to start. The grounding wires
for the master switches need be only #20 to the hot side of the master
contactor for each battery. Remember to put the diodes on the relays to
protect the contactors.

That's getting pretty far along in an absolute and complete
contradiction to the "very few kits shipped with" that someone
was told on the phone. I mean, if you ship kits for a couple
of years, that's just not "very few" anymore.

Yeah, and if there's not enough preload to keep the spacers from
spinning, there's probably not enough preload on the bearings to
keep everything as tight as it should be to prevent slop....and
it'll only get worse over time as things wear in. The axle shaving
thing is scary, but if you're willing to put in the AN970 washers
on the outside, then at least adding washers can make up for some
removed material.
