I thought some of you folks who've written me in the
past esp. after our last dog was put down would appreciate
seeing this blurb I threw up that shows the new dog and
his Mutt Muffs.
http://www.myrv10.com/tips/accessories/MuttMuffs/index.html
We've been able to take him on a few flights this year,
and he does great in the plane. Too bad he won't be
at OSH.

Just Checked my TMX IO-540 delivered in '07 and it looks like my engine is good.
My serial number is 0604 1519, model 6351 rev C. The affected range is 0610xxxx
thru 0804xxxx.

According to Mattituck every new engine they ship ships with a notice
of the SB. That's a really bum deal. I like the fix mentioned.

Not being within the serial number range, avoids the frequent inspection
intervals, but it doesn't necessarily avoid the problem, I know of a
couple of indicents where mags outside of the serial number range have
gone belly up with 50 hours or less. Wayne, I suspect your 1st flight
mag loss was one which had a serial number les than 610? As I understand
the history, Unison knows they have a problem with their mags, and
attempted to fix it with different parts, the new parts (reflected in
the 0610xxxx thru 0804xxxx serial number range, didn't fix the problem,
and apparently made it worse. I read a comment on another list where
someone said they heard (heresay) from Unison that they hoped to have a
fix in Aug ?!?!?)
the beat goes on.

Isn't it funny how AWFUL Unison's site is that you can't even easily
find info about the SB's on it?

Got it. So while I don't have the "new bad" brushes, I have the "old bad" brushes,
both subject to repetitive inspections.
For my "old bad" brushes, I will have to do 15-20 hour inspections to 50 hours,
then 250 hour inspections after 50 hours until they come up with a permanent
fix.
For the "new bad" brushes, inspect in the next 50 hours, then every 100 hours
thereafter until they come up with a permanent fix.
They make this clear as mud with those two separate Service Bulletins.

Yeah, and lucky me, I didn't even know about the problems until near
350 hours....so at least I flew worry-free. ;)
I guess considering mine haven't failed, I was probably better
not knowing. ;)

Here is a picture of Randy DeBauw's fuel vavle installed, it looks just
like the plans.
One question, if you were to remove and reinstal it upside down, would the
hole orientation be correct?

Last friendly reminder...
Time is getting short - It's only a week until Tim will be going over to stake
out sites and within a couple days of that I'll stake out the remaining sites
and be there for the duration.
If you've been on the fence about camping with us, time is getting short! We need
to have money in hand no later than Thursday 7/17 for your site. I think
just about all of the folks that registered have paid already, but if you haven't
it's probably time to bump that to the top of your "to do" list! The reservation
chart (link below) reflects everybody that we know of that's signed up,
if your name isn't there and you think it should be please contact Tim or I
ASAP so we can straighten it out.
Even if you're not camping with us, feel free to swing by for a cold drink and
some camaraderie. We'll post a map with our location the early the week of 7/21
so you can find us (5-10 minute walk from "Hangar B").
Here's a link to the post with details on how to register, etc:

Frequently asked questions:
http://www.myrv10.com/osh/Camping_FAQ.html
and the current reservation chart:
http://www.myrv10.com/osh/2008_Campsites.html
This is not in any way a money making venture for any of us - we're just trying
to facilitate an area for the RV-10 folks to enjoy the show and maybe a couple
of after hours events.

OK here's my take on slick mags. For the past 12 yrs I have basically used them
anytime I can. My way of doing business is 500 hr inspection and at 1000 get
new ones. I have not had any failures. I just ask how much is a night cought
out and out of town repairs worth to you?
Go and ask the fish spotters ,Who flies 10-12 hrs days,what they do. They put
more hrs on a plane then any of us.
My customers have heeded what I preach and seems okay since most fly IFR and
do not need the hassles.
Now you can complain all you want about them but I'll continue to use them for
all applications I can. Heck I have a engine Overhauled and had 1.5 hrs on
the cylinders, I had to get 6 new ones. My fuel system has an AD. My tail sections
had a major service bulletin. My crossbow has had two revisions. All this
and don't have a hr on the aircraft.
I'll be pulling two aircraft down in the next week to look at them and see what's
going on. I had the 500 hr inspectins done 375 hrs ago and they changed
points and whatever,One of the problems is, you reset timing last 100 hr and now
they are off again 2-3 degrees but you can't remember how much they were off
the last time. What do you do?
I know what I'm going to do. I would have to say Normally I have to reset timing
once during the 500 hr, but I check it almost everytime I change oil. It
doesn't take that long to do.
So it doesn't have to be new mags but one that someone put parts in.
I know I rambling but Deems asked for it.

mag loss was one which had a serial number les than 610? As I understand
the history, Unison knows they have a problem with their mags, and
attempted to fix it with different parts, the new parts (reflected in
the 0610xxxx thru 0804xxxx serial number range, didn't fix the problem,
and apparently made it worse. I read a comment on another list where
someone said they heard (heresay) from Unison that they hoped to have a
fix in Aug ?!?!?)
the beat goes on.

My serial number is 0604 1519, model 6351 rev C. The affected range is 0610xxxx
thru 0804xxxx.

If you think about the position of the ports, it works either way. You
just plug a different port depending on the mount. Don't know why Van
changed the mount from the plans, you just have to scratch your head for a
minute.

| Subject: | Re: Homebrew O2 System |
Hi guys, I use medical O2 tanks filled off a welding bottle. They are dirt cheap
and so are the medical regulators which work great too, the only catch is that
I have to use a conserving canula b/c I'm too cheap to spring for conserver
on the regulator system. I probably have about 150 dollars in two tanks, a regulator,
a tee, a flow meter and two canulas. The only difference on the medical
tanks is they have a different thread and stem, although you can order them
with the threads for the aviation stem if you want to spend more $. The transfill
adapter was just over $100 and I get about 8 bottle fills be for my tank
gets down to 1800 psi on $25 of O2. Each bottle seems to last someplace over 2
hours at 1lpm per person which I use above 12K. The one disadvantage to medical
regulators is that I have to use a conversion chart for the flow rate but it's
really easy. ANother is that refilling on a trip is harder b/c you need to
bring an adapter to fit the filler at an FBO and pay upwards of $40 per tanks
some places, a total rip. The tanks are so cheap to buy and fill you might as
well pick up a few. If you don't already have a welding tank I guess you need
to buy that too.
