Well, Van's site says 143, but I don't know that ANYONE is keeping
great numbers. I only have listed the ones I know or hear about
and remember to update.

Too, too many! Everyone should be custom built by the builder for the
builder, and only owned the builder.

| Subject: | gasoline rebates |
I have had a difference experience with BP. I suspect that the credit
limit is most likely tied to your credit score. Most of the FBOs in my area
sell BP, so we don't really have a choice. The FBO at my airport also keys
all maintenance, tie down, and hangar fees to get the max rebate. A friend
of mine just got a rather nice rebate after having a Garmin 530 installed in
his plane. My only complaint is that you must manually request them to
issue the rebate check.
Btw, the BP card is a Chase card too. As a former employee, I'm not a fan
of Chase, but I do use the BP card quite often for my aviation fuel and auto
gas.

Subject: RV10-List: gasoline rebates
There are credit cards that provide a 3-5% rebate on fuel purchases. The key
is that the fuel purchase is coded as vehicle expense when sent to the card
company. BP supposedly provides 5% but their prices are so OTT that the
rebate is worthless; as well as the credit limit they supply for the card
allows about 80 gallons of fuel per month at today's prices. A Chase card
provides 3% rebate on any fuel purchase that is coded "vehicle expenses".
This might help a little on the OSH trip this year.

Hi Ron,=0A=0AThe lower (unflanged) end of the pipe was out of ro
und. Looked like it could have resulted from being dropped. We pulled
the pipe when several attempts to seal it by tightening and reposition
ing the clamps didn't work. It turns out that over tightening will puc
ker the hose and cause a leak. The trick is to round up the pipe, use
a fresh hose and just gently snug up the clamps. Wish I could remember
the name of the tool we used to do the rounding. One of the guys had
a set of tapered steel "plugs", all sizes. We found the one that fit,
tapped it in gently with a wooded hammer, and made the pipe perfectly
round.=0A=0ARoger=0A ----- Original Message ----- =0A Fr

| Subject: | Re: Nosewheel breakout force |
Thanks to all who replied for the advice and additional information. I
did receive one suggestion off-line that I think is worthy of mention to
the list. And that was to do your own 'polishing' of the Bellvillle
washers before installing them. i.e. Carefully use a piece of
sandpaper/emory cloth or a belt sander to 'polish' a small (1/32" ?)
flat one each of the washers where they contact one another, being
careful to keep them even. I suspect that this will accomplish what the
airplane does in the 1st 75- ? hours of operations. If anyone is coming
up on a conditional inspection, and is planning on removing and
regreasing these, it would be interesting so see a picture of what
these mating surfaces look like after so many hours.

Group... where's the best (translate cheapest) place to purchase a single lightspeed
ignition system. Bought my engine from Vans at sun-n-fun but want to add
the lightspeed. Only place I find to purchase is either direct or aircraft
spruce.
Thanks,

Yes - I messed mine up the first time around and had to purchase a replacement.
Vans makes you buy the clear wing tip lens in a set ($60), so I have an extra
pilot side lens. If anyone needs a replacement or has a scratched or damaged
lens, I would love to split the expense. Naturally, I will destroy my Left Side
VA-193 and need this extra lens right after I sell it, but we all need to add
spice to our lives......

Good catch Tim! I've always known about the pencil on aluminum thing but didn't
think about the grease. Granted, most of the surface is bronze bushing and
steel shaft, but the fork aluminum is exposed between the upper and lower bushings.
I don't know if the grease has the same issues but will change to something
else if I can't get positive confirmation that it's OK. Too late to touch
base with Van's until Monday...
For those with a lot more airframe hours than I've got, what are you using for
grease in the nose fork assembly? Does the grease utilization go down after the
"break in" of the bellville washers?
