    LOL....well not if the molecules of air are larger than that of the brake fluid taking into consideration of the expansion of the air (mostly nitrogen) molecules under vacuum vs. the size of the brake fluid molecules under pressure. After all the fuel tank leak physics must apply somewhere in this too right? ;D Rick S. 40185 do not archive

    Subject: ADI Pilot
    Last week I posted a question about my non working G/S in my newly installed upgraded RV8 panel. Thanks for all the suggestions!. Bob Archer said I might be "loosely connected" as the problem. Rather than take offense at this, I asked for an explanation, and he said the BNC center pin may not be fully seated in the connector. Well the only connector that was not installed on the bench, but rather behind the panel, sure enough was loosely connected, a result of the difficult access. After changing that out, the system works perfectly, that is the wingtip antenna, with splitter to the G430 VLOC and G/S has a nice strong signal. NOW for the really good news. It turns out the TruTrak ADI pilot autopilot not only flys the GPS approaches just fine, but it flys the ILS localizer right down the center of the runway. Of course it's really flying the GPS overlay, but it's the same course, with the same accuracy. The CDI shows you the LOC, but the ADI Pilot looks at the GPS. This is perfectly legal to do despite the fact that the TruTrak people told me it wouldn't fly a GPS approach without roll steering. Of course they are talking a full procedure turn, or holding pattern entry, but for vectors to final it'll do the job. So anyone on a tight budget might want to consider this (G430 and ADI Pilot) solution as a very capable "punch the summer stratus" system. Chris Hukill Back to work on the 10

    Subject: Re: ADI Pilot
    I have a TruTrak Digiflight 2 with GPS steering connected to a UPS GX60 approach certified GPS, and also an SL30 in the panel of my -7A. I commonly fly the GPS overlay on the ILS to my home airport, while watching the ILS needles from the SL30, and I think you will find that the GPS guidance isn't always down the centerline, but always close enough when you break out (even at minimums) so that you can make a normal landing. GPS retains whatever its native error is at all positions in the approach path, whereas the ILS course guidance gets more precise as you approach decision height. Not a big deal for most approaches but it can be a bit disconcerting the first time you descend through a low overcast flying an ILS overly and break out expecting to see the "rabbit" lights directly in front of you, but instead they are off to one side or the other. -Dan Masys 40448 paint - (yuk :( ) ---- Chris Hukill <cjhukill@cox.net> wrote: > NOW for the really good news.

    Subject: Mic Noise
    I learned something today about my audio panel. When I fly with 4 people in the RV-10 I get aircraft noise turning on the headset mic. I have the PS 8000B and I can tell that the auto-squelch is adjusting the squelch between the front seats then the back seats, then front seats and it is quite annoying. I read in the manual about purchasing new mic covers from Oregon Aero to help this issue and called them too. They said the new mic covers should fix the problem. You would think that Bose would make a descent mic cover for $1000. Anyway, if you experience the same issues you may want to look into this. The covers were $13 each. http://www.oregonaero.com/p62_2001.html#micmuff Scott Schmidt scottmschmidt@yahoo.com

    Subject: Re: Mic Noise
    Scott, You want to call Joe Tesini at Bose. 508-766-5998 There is a long story to the Mic's but with the PMA8000 and the Bose headsets the mic can be too hot for and break squelch too easily. They use a GenTex Mic on the original headsets, but they have one or two other versions of mic that they can retrofit on your headset that work better with that intercom. You can still use the Oregon Aero Mic Muffs, but the mic will be the fix. I had squelch breaking (mostly in summer with vents on) last year around OSH. I bought 4 muffs, and that didn't help. Then, Joe got all 4 of my Mics swapped and I was able to get by without the muff. With the kids in the back seat they don't pay attention to airflows, so they can still break squelch, so I may put the muffs on again just because of them. You need to use one on each headset. But, that info above should get you what you need for a better fix. PS, I think mic's with a -3 on the serial plate are the ones affected.

    Subject: Bottom wing skin rivets
    From: "ddnebert" <doug@mapcontext.com>
    I am finishing up the wings on my slow-build -10 wing kit. The instructions for riveting on the bottom skins seem like it will be awkward, difficult to buck, even harder to check, and ultimately of questionable quality. Vans recommends the solid rivets for most of the skins (though the RV-12 uses mostly blind rivets) but suggested that the MK-139-BS style blind rivets would be comparable. Does anyone see any harm in using these flush blind rivets on the bottom skins of the RV-10 wings? Aside from the cost ($80) it seems to me a better quality and easier solution than the bucked rivets. -------- RV-10 Builder #40546 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=118534#118534

    I just wanted to let people know that I have a product called E-Z turn. They are in 2 oz. canisters. Plenty to do your RV fuel lines, oil lines and hydrolic lines. I also have 1 lb. cans for those who would like a life time supply. I will sale these at cost plus shipping. This product is perfect for that extra added sealing. Aircraft Spruse also carry's it. If anyone is interested in this product please let me know. Thanks for the great forum Ron Owen

    Nah, it ain't that bad. After riveting a tailcone the wings aren't too tough. It's much harder to drill out blind rivets in the future too.

    I finished my bottom skins last week... after living in fear of it for a few weeks, found in much easier than I expected. Took about 10 hours for the first one and a little under 7 for the 2nd.

    I riveted the botom wing last monday and its takes a full day but it works. YOu can check the quality of the rivets if you press the finger on the shop head (the one you made) and compare the imprint on your finger with the gauge if you cant reach in. YOu might find yourself in a little arkward position when riveting the rear spar, see picture.
