Hello,
I think it's totally illegal to try to charge "use" tax on out of state aircraft.
If that ever happened to me I would never pay. They have no leverage anyway
against an out-of-state resident. I can't believe this attempt at robbery has
not been struck down as unconstitutional right away!

I would totally agree. FL isn't the only one ..... look at what Maine

Actually, they do if they want to. States routinely share information
..... and collection ..... if the item is big enough or the guy is bored
enough.

Making laws ..... including the bad ones is the job we give to our
government. The only way bad laws disappear is if someone challenges
them in court. It's far cheaper to live with bad laws (or find a way
around them) than it is to hire an attorney.

It's like I say to people who comment on me eating ice cream and
drinking Diet Coke at the same time. The ice cream is a given, so I
might as well cut back on calories by drinking the Diet Coke instead
of regular. In other words, those scat tube holes are given, so don't
let more air leak out in unnecessary places than you absolutely can't
avoid. Air going to your alternator is not wasted air, but air going
out around the prop governor is.

The comments directed toward my wooden base design jackstand (photo
attached) are all valid.
Mechanical locks seemed unnecessary because the only use so far has been
to
lift the mains just clear of the surface in order to align the wheel
pants.
I also changed a tire once but immediately placed blocks under the axle.
The
plane is supported entirely with the bolt which screws in about an inch
and
a half. On the other hand that=92s the same amount the tie-down ring
screws in
also. I don=92t think I=92d use this design if I was going to go into
the
jackstand business but it did seem adequate for personal use and cost
about
$90 for a pair using Harbor Freight rams. In some ways it=92s better
than the
commercial designs I looked at because the bolt screws into the tiedown
ring
support and goes into a hole in the top of the ram so it can=92t slip

: RE: RV10-List: Jack Stands
I see a couple of potential problems with your design.
(1) Standard aircraft jacks have mechanical locks and don't depend on
hydraulics to hold in place after the lift.
(2) The lift appears to be made and supported only on the steel bolt
into
aluminum threads; on our QB wings there was a .100 gap between the skin
and
the bottom of the fixture; the choice was enlarge the hole in the skin
or
use a block of wood suitably padded with baffling material against the
spar.
We chose a block aligned along the main spar. BTW, the jack pads that
Van
supplies should be trashed. They are made of nylon and would engage at
most
four threads. How Vans can supply a short nylon fitting to support a
100K+
machine amazes me.
(3) wood will become dry and brittle over time and should be checked
regularly.

Our aircraft at work require mechanical locks be set any time we walk
away from the jacks. 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day. When a jack lifting
mechanism fails the lock is the last line of protection. The mechanical
lock is a safety feature and our employer tells the FAA that "Safety is
#1".
The instructions and procedures for Jacking an Aircraft are just like
doing a preflight run-up. The design of the equipment can be simple, the
cost of construction inexpensive. The result, now that is important
when it's my invested capital. YMMV.

RE:
RV10-List: Jack Stands
I see a couple of
potential problems with your design.
(1) Standard aircraft jacks have mechanical locks and don't
depend on hydraulics to hold in place after the lift.
(2) The lift appears to be made and supported only on the
steel bolt into aluminum threads; on our QB wings there was a .100 gap betwe
en
the skin and the bottom of the fixture; the choice was enlarge the hole in t
he
skin or use a block of wood suitably padded with baffling material against t
he
spar. We chose a block aligned along the main spar. BTW, the jack pads that
Van
supplies should be trashed. They are made of nylon and would engage at most
four threads. How Vans can supply a short nylon fitting to support a 100K+
machine amazes me.
(3) wood will become dry
and brittle over time and should be checked regularly.

RV10-List:
Jack Stands
Being a sort of cheap frugal type I made these
stands out of $12 worth of =C2=BE plywood and 2 long rams from Harbor Freigh
t on
sale.
Seems to work OK. (base is 18=9D square.)

Aircraft Spruce- and I think Van's also-sell an RV Jack that slips in
the
hollow axle after the nut comes off as this one does. A small bottle
jack is
then used to lift the plane far enough to change a tire. It looks like
this
jack works the same but also includes a stand. Having had a couple of
flat
tires I can point out some difficulties that need to be overcome.
1. With a flat tire the wheel pant is going to be against the ground
hiding the lower screws. A wing jack works well but none of these axle
jacks
will work until you get the pant off. I installed hex headed screws in
the
lower position of the pant but it's still tough to get them out and the
pant
off with a flat tire. On the front you just need to accumulate enough
weight
to hold the tail down for tire repair. A wing jack will have to lift a
lot
farther than an axle jack to get the wheel clear of the ground. A 2 ton
bottle jack is sufficient if it has the required stroke length.
2. After the wheel is removed you need to hold the plane up. I carried
some short pieces of redwood 2x4"s, stacked them up a placed under the
axle
after the wheel was removed. Some redwood is very light and I kept the
redwood and the RV jack in the plane. Looks like this jackstand would do
the
trick also.
3. You probably will need some help from others to do any tire repair
or replacements other than patching and filling a tube so maybe you
could
lean on them for the jacks and stands also saving yourself money and the
trouble of carrying stuff around. One flat tire was at Albany, OR and
needed
a tube and tire and happened in front of the FBO, the other was at
Needles,
CA on a VERY HOT day and (the baggage carpet came in very handy)
required a
tube although a patch may have worked as a temporary fix. In both cases
air
was required so a hand pump and gage are necessary items in your tool
kit.
Remember you need tools to remove and split the wheel also.
4. So, how much are we going to carry? Jacks, tools, tubes, tires, etc.
Or, keep this stuff at home, throw yourself on the mercy of fellow
avnuts
when you travel, and when RV's (or other less fortunate home builders)
in
trouble land at your home field you can save them.

I concur that it is impossible/impractical to carry jacks in the aircraft.
Away from home the FBO will usually allow use of his equipment. Once at
Austin's premier FBO, I was offered the free use of their hangar and tools
because they did not have any maintenance procedures for a Glastar. Anyway I
carry about 30 pounds of tools and spare parts but do not carry
bigger/heavier tools.I beg/borrow those and do lots of preventative
maintenance at home.

| Subject: | Piper Clipper trade for raw RV10 kit |
Hello all, I'm new to the list and have a need for an RV 10 kit. I'm in the
process of selling my beautiful PA-16 Piper Clipper N108PC for the sole
purpose of buying an RV 10 kit. If anyone has a kit they are interested in
trading for a great flying, great condition and ready to go Clipper please
let me know.
Pictures of the Clipper are on Barnstormers if interested.

| Subject: | Re: sunscreens and covers |
Most people in the know and the USAF avoid the canvas sun covers, even the ones
with the softy interior side. The assumption is that even the softy side accumulates
grit which grinds against your windows.
The Kennon or Kennon style shades are the best as far as I know. They stay in place
and really protect from the heat. WalMart even sells the fold-over round
covers that do a good job on my car. The big deal is that you want to avoid scratching
your windows.
Check out Kennons web site http://kennoncovers.com/pricelist.htm
I do not want to necessarily promote them as they are quite expensive, but so are
your windows. I believe that the PLASTIC COATED Kennon type product is available
bulk but be sure that it has the interior plastic coating otherwise the
aluminum will scratch the windows. I am not sure that Kennon even makes it's own
raw material. They may only buy the product and laser cut it and put a border
on it. (The border is nice)
