| Subject: | OT - Explain This |
Explanations abound for the small stuff, loss leaders ,distributors
margins,
futures markets, etc. The main reason for the price of oil and gasoline
is
the restrictions on supply created by Congress and the value of the
dollar
as determined by Congress. When Congress makes laws that encourage
lawsuits
to prevent nuclear power,oil drilling, pipelines and refineries; supply
is
restricted. When Congress spends like drunken sailors (my apologies to
the
responsible ones) the value of the US currency declines. The oil
suppliers
have just about al the green paper they need; their vaults are already
full.
When one is at war (economic or otherwise) building weapons is required
Talking a good game will get you killed. Congress has been "jawboning"
too
long. Its about time to release market forces by getting rid of the
restrictive laws that produce stalemates on even proposals to build any
weapons (economic ). We need to win this economic war but the only place
Congress has declared war is on the American consumer..

Yes but look at the big picture why is oil going up "Futures" (stock
market)
some insignificant problem and the futures boys go off. Look at
Bloomberg.
The Iranian Preident basically said there is no supply problem its the
Futures wankers in the States that are driveing the price up.

The corner gas station situation is more complicated than limited
storage.
In most brand name locations (I have very close ties to two Shell
stations)
the station owners have zero say in fuel deliveries. All the handling,
receipt of payments, taxes, delivery schedules are handled by Shell. If
the
owner thinks fuel is going to go up they cannot request additional fuel.
The
Shell truck shows up when Shell decides to fuel them. Corporate is tied
electronically into the individual storage tanks and often the fueling
truck
shows up with less than a 2 hour supply left in the tanks. Then they
fill up
the tanks =BC of capacity. >From my point of view the station owner gets
the
short end of the stick at every turn. Recently they had back to back
$0.10
increases, up $0.20 in 2 days followed by a $0.27 increase in diesel in
one
day. Diesel is well into the mid $5.00=92s in CA.
The rule of thumb in gas station/convenience store ownership is you sell
the
gas at no profit to entice the motorist into buy the cigarettes. You
sell
the cigarettes at cost to drive beer sales. And you sell beer as a loss
leader to get people in to buy fuel.
Expect many gas stations to close in the next 5 years.
I also have a connection with a 400+ station owner consortium that is
involved in a class action suit claiming unfair business practices.
Example
the fuel distributor also owns many of the stations in the area. Guess
who
gets the lowest price fuel first and has advanced notice of fuel price
changes?

Subject: Re: RV10-List: OT - Explain This
Well Jesse, I might be able to explane. The gas stations pump a lot of
Gas,
and have limited storage. The price should only change, when the tanks
are
filled. The tankers can only carry 8,000 gallons a load. With todays
frequent fluctuation's, and high volume sales, that means every few
days,
and in some cases every day, they receive a tanker load, and are
subject to
price change, up or down.
Now, back to airports, they sometimes have as much as half a million
gallon
storage tanks, filled by barge, rail car, or pipeline. They fill their
tanks
less frequently, so prices can be slower to change.
When you buy a load of fuel, as a dealer, you pay before the driver
drops
his load in your tanks. Sometimes, an FBO will raise his price, before
his
next load, just because he can.
It's a free market system, you can charge whatever you want.
I hope I didn't ramble to much, does this makes sense?

The subject seems to have died, doesn't it??? I'm still working on my
'closed loop' rudder cable system. Well, that's not true. Other
projects have been consuming my time. Once the closed loop system is
complete, I envision a vernier control attached to springs on one of the
rudder cables to bias the rudder. We'll see!!!

I'm having problems finding something. Can anyone give me
a tip as to where to look?
For some reason, I thought there was a *Van's Provided* procedure
for static balancing the elevator that we're supposed to do.
Yes, I know I've heard of how other people do it, but isn't
there a procedure somewhere in the plans or documentation
that we're supposed to use to balance that elevator? It's
been too long for me to remember exactly what I did way back
when....so I'm trying to find the info and refresh my memory.
Or, do they just tell you how to cut and fit the counterweights
and leave it at that?
It's been waaay too long....and after you fly you start to
forget.

Tim,
Check out page 2 of the 'Final Inspection and Flight Test' from Van's. That page
will give you the Balancing Limit values. I am not aware of any instructions
directly from Van's however I have a copy of a post that does a pretty good
job of detailing it that was posted here back in Jan 2007.

Cool, thanks, I remembered that I read that post, but couldn't
remember where I got the data from. Thanks to you I found the table
again. I was trying to find it in the plans for the elevator and
a couple other places....no luck. I was thinking that perhaps
they should have at least put a note in the various control surface
sections with the specs.

| Subject: | Re: J Channel & Bulkheads |
I'd second that. I found numerous instances of this contact. I even tested
it on a scrap piece by running it back and forth. Al to Al can produce an
edge on either piece bulkead or channel. I sometimes bent the channel just
enough to clear parts if it was only slight or I filed the bulkhead cutout
back some (rounded it out.).
In a couple instances I filed the edge of the j-channel down a little in a
clean large radius fashion. I saw this contact on the wings too.
To me over time the contact would fret and create a groove the width of the
j-channel stock. I was not comfortable with such a small radius groove.

I doubt you'll worry too much about the pick-up but I assure you there will
be moments you will worry when building, but don't worry than either since
this forum is a great resource for all those perplexing steps.
Make sure you pay attention in the empennage because the instructions get
less detailed in the wings and even more so in the fusellage. THAN you'll be
worrying about steps you come across that the plans dont even mention.
It will be a great experience, enjoy the journey of building it has been a
real blessing for me so far and I trust it will be equally satisfying for
you.

Here's a funny question that I've been asking myself this afternoon...
when you run wires inside a conduit (under the rear floors, etc) do you
need to tie them up together before you run them through? you know,
with zip ties or wire lacing tape? Seems like overkill, but i can't
help but think about wires flopping around in there. what say you all?

No ties within the conduit. They won't really flop around ..... and if
they do, you've got more important things to worry about ;-) .
Lacing up bundles of wires serves to make a neater installation instead
of looking like someone tossed spaghetti behind the panel :-P . It also
serves to keep the wires from moving around and creating fatigue cracks
in the wires where the crimped lugs or soldered connections are. Being
contained inside a conduit is best looked at like a loose-tied bundle.

CJ, I would definitely NOT tie the wires within the conduit. Having just
gone through the exercise of running additional wires in an already
'full' conduit, the ties would make installing the new wires difficult
to impossible.

Is it a Vetterman system? I've been to his shop numerous times and he welds each
system mounted directly to the engine model system is to be mounted on. I'm
not sure what the problem might be, It's been too long since we mounted ours,
but I'd be shocked if the system doesn't fit. If you don't get it figured out
let me know and I can contact Larry for a solution.
