    Hi John. Try Cleaveland Tools for a starter kit for the RV Empennage. Around $750 USD. Well worth the investment and sets you up well for the rest of the kit. www.cleavelandtoolstore.com <http://www.cleavelandtoolstore.com/> Half your luck with the ride in the -10!

    Subject: Access to tries for air
    From: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    Not going to explain the Air Carrier policy. When air is installed (by accident of course). Tire is required to be dismounted and returned for safety inspection. It is replaced with a correctly filled tire. The policy for nitrogen rather than compressed air should be clear. Many who chose to cut corners do so for economic reasons. Safety causes air carriers to throw copious amounts of money at known problems. Regulation causes unquestioned policy adherance. Choices due to ignorance which lead to higher insurance rates deserve a clarification. The policy is so sound that turbo-prop and turbine GA use it as the model for safety and common sense. Seems executives who can afford those aircraft and the insurance required, see a value added in the use of nitrogen. As you go down the food chain the thrill of pursuit gets more fun. My premise which was not to inflame, but was that those who are prudent, conservative or safety oriented might weigh the logic behind exclusive use of nitrogen rather than the poor man's alternative of moist air with oxidation of rubber and aluminum - the result. It is kind of like saving pennies and gambling that the issue will not arise with "my aircraft". Isn't Experimental a great way to encourage entrepreneurship and risk taking for the perception or thrill of the pursuit? Let the builder chose the path to be taken. Let's not make this a Primer/Alodine war for those who enjoy cutting the corners and making the choice. The response was for those who might not have understood oxidation effects on aluminum and rubber and asked as to the basis for the policy. Kelly, may you fly boldly, long and safe. I just thought there was value in the points made. Sorry for the bandwidth. John Do not Archive - because most Experimental pilots make their own decisions and not because of a company, an industry or the government mandated safety concern. ________________________________ From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com on behalf of Kelly McMullen Sent: Mon 8/28/2006 12:36 PM Subject: Re: AW: RV10-List: Access to tries for air --> RV10-List message posted by: Kelly McMullen <kellym@aviating.com> I can buy the argument of nitrogen for turbine aircraft because they operate at much higher pressure and fly at altitudes where temps are in the -20 to -60 range. However, your statement that airline tires filled with air need to be thrown away defies logic. How do they keep air away from the tires from the time they are made until they are installed? How do they protect the tires being recapped? Why would it make any difference if the tire misfilled was simply deflated, dismounted, and any moisture wiped out? Is there some on line reference to this policy? The sum total mention of nitrogen in AC43-13-1B(chg 1) Chapter 9, page 9-11, consists of: "NOTE: The use of nitrogen to inflate tires is recommended. Do not use oxygen to inflate tires. Deflate tires prior to removing them from the air- craft or when built-up tire assemblies are being shipped." If there were hazards associated with air, you would think it would get mentioned there. The reference to oxygen is obviously pure oxygen which of course poses a fire hazard. Skydrol is much more fire resistant than 5606, so don't see why that should be an issue. I can see risks for tubeless tires, but GA planes all use tubes, so any moisture isn't going to get to the inside of the wheel anyway. If you have a brake fire severe enough to cause a leak or blowout in the tire, the tire is likely to blow a hole and release all the pressure very rapidly, and then what is in the tire makes little difference.

    John, One thing that you might want to consider is to find a local builder and ask for some assistance. It will give you a quick taste of what it's like to build, and you won't have to buy any tools. When I started my first RV I was fortunate enough to know a local builder and he patiently helped me work through the practice kit that I had bought. I bet you can find a local builder who would do the same for you.

    Subject: Required tools for toolbox kit
    From: "Condrey, Bob (US SSA)" <bob.condrey@baesystems.com>
    John, I'd recommend finding a local builder and borrowing what you'll need - EAA chapter would be an excellent place to start. Specific answer to your question is that you need to be able to drill holes, dimple holes, debur holes and drive rivets. If you want to purchase tools, I think the only hole size you need a bit for is #40 and you can use whatever drill you already have. Since you are dealing with such a limited quantity of holes you can either purchase a purpose built tool or use a larger drill bit or hardware store countersink (size/angle is unimportant). For the edges you can use a file to remove shear marks and burrs. For dimples you could get by with a pop-rivet dimpler which just uses a standard pop-rivet squeezer, you would only need to purchase pop-rivet dimple dies for 3/32" rivets. At that point you've covered everything except driving rivets. Instead of buying a rivet squeezer of any sort you can almost certainly borrow a hand squeezer from any builder that has a pneumatic unit and not have to worry about being pressed for time. Every rivet on the toolbox, except for the ones that hold the handle on, can be set using a squeezer. I'm sure any builder would welcome you for a visit to drive those few. Of course, you could always spend several hundred dollars and have a REAL head start on what you'll need for the plane... Where are you located?

    Subject: Access to tires for air
    --> RV10-List message posted by: Kelly McMullen <kellym@aviating.com> I wasn't questioning airline policy of using nitrogen. I was questioning policy that your first post said a tire was "thrown away" if accidently filled with air. Obviously you have now revised that to dismount and remount. Like Skydrol, nitrogen has its place in turbine aircraft. For piston aircraft you will do yourself a lot more of a favor to put a drier on your compressor and frequently drain the tank than having a compressed bottle of nitrogen around, that has no use other than airing up tires. Having that tank in your hangar is more of a hazard than any benefit to the tires. It isn't about cost or cutting corners. Just because the airlines do it doesn't mean that GA and experimentals need to follow their rigid and moribund path. Most airlines don't have a glass display that the pilot can monitor his progress on an airport taxiway..childs play for any good electronic flight bag that any GA pilot can use, such as a Garmin 496 or some of your built in glass panels. 49 people paid the ultimate price because airlines can't get avionics advances approved without a gazillion dollars and years of FAA lack of decision making. Airlines also employ a lot of uncertified folks working on their planes under supervision, so they can't allow any flexibility in thinking, just like the military. KM A&P/IA Quoting "John W.

    Subject: Required tools for toolbox kit
    The minimum list of tools required for the toolbox will be much shorter than those required to build the plane. The required list breaks down into 2 parts: those you own yourself and those you can borrow from others. If it's expensive and/or seldom used suggest borrowing (and returning) the tool. Building a plane (and a toolbox) can be the best opportunity you might ever have to become acquainted with some of the world's greatest people. Join your local EAA chapter, visit builders, and let them educate and befriend you. Avery and Cleveland seem to have attracted the most vocal supporters but there are other sources. The RV list often has offers of used tools. I had a flat tire at an unfamiliar airport last week and I was hardly out of the plane before the locals began gathering to help. Made some friends and enjoyed the time spent fixing the tire. Albert Gardner Yuma, AZ

    John; I know the feeling! Check out Van's site http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/rqd-tool.htm this will tell you what is needed for the tool kit. someone recommended you get the starter kit from cleveland- http://www.cleavelandtoolstore.com/prodinfo.asp?number=EMPKITW that would be the easiest solution. I have the same kit and am slowly finding good tools on e-bay but eventually will buy everything from different vendors. I would recommend you take the sportair course. $300 or so dollars and you'll basically build the toolkit in a teaching environment, certainly less than buying tools before their time. If you're experienced and don't need the course, have an air compressor and plan to start the kit within the year buy the tools. I have spent numerous hours planning, so feel free to contact me with any further questions. Pascal ----- Original Message ----- From: John R.

    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Marcus Cooper" <coop85@bellsouth.net> Exactly, the last time I flew through rain I was really glad I didn't pipe the air up into my avionics. I didn't get soaked, but there was no doubt water was happy to press right in the ventilation scoops. One other thought I had was to draw air from above the glare shield by. The shield itself is hot, but the air just above seems pretty reasonable. I also had a plan to set the switch up to reverse polarity and then I could turn it into a defog like some guys have done. Some loss in efficiency running the blades backwards, but it would be better than nothing. Thoughts???
