    Subject: Flying to OSH - Read the NOTAM
    For those flying to OSH, here is a good article in today's AvWeb: http://www.avweb.com/news/pilotlounge/pilots_lounge_128_oskhosh_arrival_198208-1.html I'll tell you that at first when I read it, I was a little put off that it made flying in sound so awful. Flying in to OSH can easily be one of the highlights of a pilots life, so I hate to hear negativity about it. But, at the same time, there isn't anything that he said that I can disagree with. Flying into OSH just requires added diligence in planning, piloting, spotting, and general awareness. Flying in to a local fly-in can have the SAME consequences. (I'll throw in a story from this weekend, at the end of this post) Flying OFTEN can be one of the best things you do with your money if you want to be safe as a pilot....you gain things (EXPERIENCE) that no cockpit gadget can equal in enhancing safety. So do like they recommend, get current, get comfortable, practice spot landings, and READ AND CARRY THE NOTAM with you on your flight in. Even when it gets real busy, there's no reason that flying in to OSH has to be unsafe...if you follow procedures and don't expect that all those around you will be as reliable. This year I will fly in to OSH probably at least 4-8 times during the show, as for me, that is one of the best times a pilot can have. Here is where you can get the 2008 NOTAM: http://www.airventure.org/2008/flying/2008_notam.pdf --------------- Now for a story --------------- This weekend, we had a fly-in at our local airport. I went out for a few rides with people throughout the day. On one particular approach, I had announced that I was on a wide left base for the active. I turned final and announced I was on short final. I then got a call from a plane that said they were 1/2 mile final for the same runway. There was nobody in front of me. That spooks a person. So I asked if the other plane had the RV in sight....they said "I do, you just passed over top of us". So I said I would break left and go around. As I turned, I saw below me, at about 1/2 my altitude (I was about 400'), one of those small, army green cessnas, against the green trees and cornfields. He was completely invisible when I was on base, and had come from a nearby airport and was flying in for a straight-in approach. We discussed it later, and I admitted that I could have done a better job spotting, and flown a closer pattern (there was nobody else in the pattern and I had just been very near base when I entered the pattern), but that he also could have used better judgement than flying low and straight-in, with a green plane, on the day of the fly-in....a full pattern would be more safe. Contributing is the fact that he was flying a high-wing, and I was flying a low-wing. So nothing happened, in the end, but it does illustrate how some sloppy flying or poor judgement can be a bad thing, especially during times of lots of traffic. Nobody is immune. But OSH is a place where you just can't afford to take it anything less than serious in our awareness and preparations.....the same as we should always be doing.

    From: "bryanflood" <bryanflood@hotmail.com>
    The medical bottles are not the fancy carbon wound bottles from my experience they are only the Aluminum bottles but I could be wrong. If you search the internet for medical supplies you can find them. My buddy and I compared our bottles, his was an expensive aluminum aviation bottle, mine an aluminum medical bottle. From what I could tell the weights, rating, and everything but the threads and stem (plus the stickers) are identical. The carbon bottles are infact lighter but more expensive. In fact the sizes offered are the same, but the two industries have different names for the bottle sizes sometimes, probably to try to create product differentiation where none exists. Again you can order the medical bottles with special threads for the aviation stems, so honestly I see no difference. There is no question the aviation bottels are nice and they do have everthing set-up for aviation, if I had unlimited funds I would go that route. But I'm on a budget, so I went the medical route and they work great. The one thing I proabably will buy sometime soon from an aviation house is a mounting strap, but they are expensive and I have been putting it off. Bryan -------- Rv-9A completed.

    Yeah, I learned this at an OSH workshop a few years ago but this is a good reference. I usually skip step 3 however. I just use a #40 bit into the 1/8" rivet and then use a #40 punch to snap off the head. Usually works real good an a lot less chance of "buggering' the 1/8" hole.

    Subject: Re: SB work
    Yes, that's the best method that I've ever been told in the past also. I personally use a flat ended punch to snap them off, although some people use the flat end of a drill bit. It works well, because you're just snapping the head of the rivet off. You can do it with a smaller sized bit, too. It's been suggested before that people buy a #31 and #41 bit, because then you can drill ever so slightly undersized to the hole, so you don't hit the surrounding metal if you're off center. Not much difference, but it's nice. At OSH it might be worth poking around with the vendors to get those bits.

    Way to go Rob! Did you get a 40 hour fly off due to the prop? Please be careful rushing those hours. Get-home-itus comes in a lot of different forms. We can't wait to see the photos.

    Subject: windshield install question
    Getting the windshield installed---so far, so good. But the plans ask you to make a sanding block to conform to the 7" radius between the plexi and the fuse. How does one make such a sanding block, and out of what kind of material? Thanks, Jay Rowe #40301

    Subject: windshield install question
    Jay - I used all sorts of stuff for sanding forms at different points around the fairing on my RV-7- scrap wood blocks, chunks of PVC pipe, a coffee can, a bucket, whatever fit approximated the desired curve at a particular point.. One of the most useful was a 3M hard rubber sanding block with the paper mounted on the "wrong" side. neal ================== Getting the windshield installed---so far, so good. But the plans ask you to make a sanding block to conform to the 7" radius between the plexi and the fuse. How does one make such a sanding block, and out of what kind of material?

    Rob, That's GREAT, I have to admit, when I saw your plane in May, I was doubtful you'd make it to OSH, looks like you're proving me wrong. Deems #406 glad to be wrong plane is at the painters -------- finally! > * > *

    Awesome kuddos. Naturally you will have to give full wiring and demo seminars at OSH to make the trip tax deductible. Take it slow on the fly off. If you do not make OSH it will not be the end of the world. Be safe and VERY careful. Your family and clients all need you around for a lot of years. Safety first and always. -------- OSH '08 or Bust (busted) be there in &quot;09 Q/B Kit - exited cabin top/door purgatory Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=192787#192787
