      LOE 2008 will most likely be the first weekend in October.

      Check out the following posts from VAFWWW:
      
      According to the latest posting to www.swrfi.com , the "powers that be" 
      have moved the SWRFI to the second weekend of October, starting in 2008.

      Stan Shannon (SWRFI) emailed me about the new dates a couple of weeks 
      back asking for input. I gave him Red Marron and Larry Vetterman's 
      contact info (the two guys that have historically chosen the LOE date) 
      and asked him to contact them. 
      
      Although I'm not certain he did call, I would assume that Red and Larry 
      would not chose to have LOE on the same weekend as SWRFI. I'm certain 
      Stan knows that if he has SWRFI and LOE competing it will really eat 
      into the RV attendance at his event.
      
      The beauty of LOE is its mobility, so I'm pretty sure there will not be 
      a conflict.

      I talked with Larry V and Red both and was told LOE was the first 
      weekend
      in Oct.--therefore we chose the second weekend even though we wanted the 
      first weekend. We do not want to conflict with this great event.

      Thanks, Lew.  I'm interested in the console, but am making every effort
      to keep the weight down to enhance performance and fuel economy.  My
      RV-4 is an old one, and very light with an empty weight of less than 920
      lbs.  Even with only 150 hp, I can run off and leave most 180 hp RV-4's
      because they weigh so much more.  That has convinced me of the
      importance of not adding any weight that it not absolutely essential to
      flight safety. 
      
      As Bill Stout (designer of the Ford Trimotor) said when asked the secret
      of good aircraft design, "Simplicate, and add Lightness".

      OK Jack, I took my digital postage scales over and weighed the Blazer
      console -- 4 lbs. 4 oz.  That's as is, probably could be stripped down
      some.  I'll attach a couple of pictures.
      
      Here's a comment I think is worth sharing from Paul:
      
      "Hi Lew,
          We have the overhead console you describe and I was very excited by
      the prospects of outside air temp display but my bubble was burst. It
      seems you also need the vehicle ECU to handle the input from the RTD
      probe and the output to the overhead display. I learned a lot about it
      by searching the web. I still really like the console, though. I swapped
      out the resistive filament bulbs with LED's and have the current draw
      down to less than .1 amps.

      I am finally taking delivery of my finishing kit. I reviewed the packing li

      a sub kit to order for these items or is there a place on Van's eb site tha
      t offers these items. I see it for the 7 and 8, but not the 10 on their web
       site.

      You have to order the Fuel Pump and Filter separately.  The plans will  
      say this when you get to that point.  I think the Van's part numbers  
      are "ES AIRFLOW FUEL PUMP" and "ES AIRFLOW FILTER".  You should be  
      able to buy them from the webstore.  The fuel pump, by the way, is the  
      whole assembly including bypass and check valves and stuff like that.

      I just started my wing kit today.   When I started to cleco the spar
      extensions to the spar, I noticed that they weren't square.  The last 24% or
      so of the spar width, the joint starts to get larger to the point there is
      about an 1/8" gap and the end isn't too well aligned.
      
      
      I've attached pictures for reference.
      
      
      Should I be concerned?

      Mine have a slight gap but nothing like yours.. there is a 1/16 gap but 
      it's consistent along the whole way, not like yours that appear to be 
      crooked.

      Mine was similar..cleco the skins to the spar and see how it lines up. If I

      hing lined up all right.

      Bob, it's a little hard to tell from the pictures, but from what I can 
      see the problem appears to be with the bend/radius on the extensions.  
      If they were bent improperly there will be a difference in the 
      alignment  of the holes that are drilled/punched into the spar caps for 
      attachment of the wing skins. When you look at the  holes in the  main 
      spar caps and lay a straight edge through the center of them,  does it 
      contact/overlay the holes in the extensions at precisely the same place? 
      >From the pic it looks like there may be a slight misallignment.
      
       I'm not sure what to make of the gap that Pascal noted between the main 
      spar and the extension,  I'm not sure how much of the load is carried by 
      having the pieces butted flush versus through the doublers.  Here's a 
      link to what mine looked like at the time.

      I concur, my attachment piece looks the same as yours Deems.
      I forget if the placement of the doublers plays a piece in the alignment as 
      well. Have you tried moving the doublers around and seeing if they fit any 
      better?

      There doesn't appear to be much room to play with.  Once the clecos are in,
      they don't move at all.  I'm going back out in a few minutes to determine if
      it's the spar extender or the spar itself that may not be square.
      
      Interesting enough, the gap is on the top of one spar and the bottom of the
      other, so I suspect the problem is with the extenders since they are
      identical parts.
      
      It will be interesting to see what Van's say tomorrow when they open.

      There doesn't appear to be much room to play with.  Once the clecos are in,
      they don't move at all.  I'm going back out in a few minutes to determine if
      it's the spar extender or the spar itself that may not be square.
      
      Interesting enough, the gap is on the top of one spar and the bottom of the

      "I suspect the problem is with the extenders since they are identical parts"
      
      By "identical" I assume you know there is a specific 1006E-L and a 1006E-R 
      extender right?
      
      As long as the "extra hole" is in the right place on the outside bottom of 
      both extenders you have the correct orientation. Just seems odd that there 
      is the bottom and top gaps, makes me wonder what would happen if your 
      switched them.

      To each their own, but I agree with you Steve, my goal during those first 
      few hours with the plane will not be to do sight seeing but to verify if 
      Van's numbers match mine. I'll do some stalls with and without flaps and get 
      the basic information, if they match Van's numbers.. than by gee whiz I'll 
      take their VNE numbers for what they are.. I am mostly concerned with the 
      speeds I'll be using for landing and cruising, VNE is not something I care 
      to "test" and Van's already did all that for me. If my numbers dont match, 
      well than I'll work that out during the remaining test flights..
