| Subject: | Re: BOSE (LEMO) headset jack in panel |
Just to clarify, since I will only have the LEMO jacks, I would only need the
RCA (female) to LEMO (male) adapter if I wanted to use a headset with regular
RCA plugs-this requires no power.
If I want to use the Bose headsets with LEMO jacks in another aircraft without
LEMO jacks, there are two options;
1) You can easily make an adapter by purchasing the $30 installation kit from
spruce, adding RCA plugs and wire the power leads into a cigarette lighter adapter
or battery pack.
2) You can purchase the Bose LEMO to RCA adapter with battery pack for about $100-$135.
Installing only the LIMO jacks actually simplifies wiring. I've seen folks totally
mess up their intercom wiring and introduce ground loops when tying the RCA
jacks to the LEMO in the panel.

I'm looking at a source for the male LEMO jacks and will make a few female RCA
to male LEMO adapters. Should be able to put these together for a LOT less
than the $100-$135 that Bose is asking--stay tuned. But then thier adapter includes
a battery case for power. If you just want to get RCA signal to LEMO signal,
its just wires.

I acquired (always a good word when paying more money than the gut can
stand) an IO540 thru Vans during the sale. The offer included free
shipping.
Well, it all worked well and the engine was delivered without charge.
However, a week later, I was invoiced by USF Holland for a $94 "liftgate
service delivery" charge. Hmmmmm.
I'm thinking that few if any builders would ever be able to take
delivery other than by "liftgate". I don't have a forklift or a loading
dock, do you?
I called Holland and got no where. I called Vans and they pointed me at
Lycoming. After faxing the invoice a few times and a little back and
forth, Lycoming agreed that I should not be charged and will take care
of it.
I personally think it was a "gee with fuel prices hitting the roof let's
make sure we squeeze revenue from anywhere we can" charge from the
shipping company. I sympathize. However, if it had been a legitimate
charge, they would have insisted on acceptance before operating the lift
gate.
In any case, everyone did what they should have. Thanks Vans and
Lycoming for getting it resolved.

I have had all my 'kits' shipped 'Customer Pickup' at the shippers dock.
That way there are no extra fees and I don't have to worry about being somewhere
at a specific time. They load the crates on the trailer and I am off to the
hanger. Parts of my fuselage and finishing kits (ordered and shipped at the
same time) stayed on the trailer for over a month. I just knocked the crates
apart and inventoried them right there.

REAL TIME UPDATE:
Tim is still on the ground at OSH and won't be leaving for a little
while. As usual there's a computer problem at the registration desk so
he has to wait until that is straightened out. Andrea just got there
with their camper and they're going to grab lunch.
Early feedback is that there are more people there earlier than last
year. There weren't any sites east of the trees and only 3 on the west
side of the trees. Other 7 early sites are across the isle.

My first empcone kit arrived on a semi and it was for me and the driver to "unload"
those two heavy boxes--wasn't easy.
Since then, instead of having the shipping company home deliver, I rent a UHaul
RT trailer and go pick it up from the local shipping facility. You can then
unpack the kit while the box is still on the RT trailer at your leisure. Rental
for the RT trailer is less than $30 per 24 hours and you usually save about
$80 to eliminate the home delivery portion from the freight company. I've done
this with all the kits following the empcone and it has worked out really well.
This may not have helped since you were not aware of the "lift-gate service delivery"
charge, but something to consider. Oh, the FWF kit is pretty small in
comparison and I think came via UPS.

Yep, I've been aware of the various options for pick up at the shipping
company and the possibility of lift gate delivery charges, etc. I
shipped my emp kit to a build center and my fuse and wings via "that guy
who does direct deliveries from Vans" and the Finishing kit was via
ABFS. Interestingly, a lift gate charge was required for the Finishing
kit but no additional charge was levied - just the 'delivery to home
location with limited access' note on the delivery.
I expected 'free delivery' of the engine which is what I got. I also
expected if there were any additional/optional charges that I would be
notified of them before incurring them, by Vans and/or Lycoming. I also
expect the shipping company to be 'accountable'; if the goods are
damaged I'm not going to accept shipment, if the bill is incomplete or
unpaid, they won't drop it. At least not to a home location. I didn't
expect to get a bill 2 weeks later out of the blue. But it was all good
in the end which is what I wanted to share.
The trailer thing is a good approach. I was planning that because I
have access to some trailers but only needed them for the build center
to home run. Thanks to my gear-head neighbor and his complete array of
tractors, bulldozers, mowers and trailers. He rocks!
So William, where are you going to be in Oshkosh (GAC or something?).

I was just down there with Tim and Dave. Sites are filling up even faster than
last year. He was able to get PART of the row along the road and directly
behind the portapotties that has been used the last two years in addition to a
nice size chunk in the row directly west. But even that row had a motor home
in it already.
Here is a map of roughly what they have as of this morning. Switch to Aerial

Yes, of course. I still have to go back and study the SB but am I right
in saying that there's no warranty action defined for it? You just have
to comply with the procedure in the SB.... I really have to go back and
read it along with the thread on it.

Of the three kits I have the first two were dropped off (with liftgate)
by FedX and I paid on the spot, the last one was dropped off and 1 week
later I received a bill for everything including the use of a liftgate-
$75. Not sure if it is new billing this year or just a change in the way
Van's has an agreement with the shippers.

in the end which is what I wanted to share.
The trailer thing is a good approach. I was planning that because I
have access to some trailers but only needed them for the build center
to home run. Thanks to my gear-head neighbor and his complete array of
tractors, bulldozers, mowers and trailers. He rocks!
So William, where are you going to be in Oshkosh (GAC or something?).

My first empcone kit arrived on a semi and it was for me and the driver
to "unload" those two heavy boxes--wasn't easy.
Since then, instead of having the shipping company home deliver, I rent
a UHaul RT trailer and go pick it up from the local shipping facility.
You can then unpack the kit while the box is still on the RT trailer at
your leisure. Rental for the RT trailer is less than $30 per 24 hours
and you usually save about $80 to eliminate the home delivery portion
from the freight company. I've done this with all the kits following
the empcone and it has worked out really well.
This may not have helped since you were not aware of the "lift-gate
service delivery" charge, but something to consider. Oh, the FWF kit is
pretty small in comparison and I think came via UPS.

I acquired (always a good word when paying more money than the gut can
stand) an IO540 thru Vans during the sale. The offer included free
shipping.
Well, it all worked well and the engine was delivered without charge.
However, a week later, I was invoiced by USF Holland for a $94 "liftgate
service delivery" charge. Hmmmmm.
I'm thinking that few if any builders would ever be able to take
delivery other than by "liftgate". I don't have a forklift or a loading
dock, do you?
I called Holland and got no where. I called Vans and they pointed me at
Lycoming. After faxing the invoice a few times and a little back and
forth, Lycoming agreed that I should not be charged and will take care
of it.
I personally think it was a "gee with fuel prices hitting the roof let's
make sure we squeeze revenue from anywhere we can" charge from the
shipping company. I sympathize. However, if it had been a legitimate
charge, they would have insisted on acceptance before operating the lift
gate.
In any case, everyone did what they should have. Thanks Vans and
Lycoming for getting it resolved.

In my area of SoCal FedX Freight will send the liftgate by default for a
home delivery, (not business address). I asked the first time my kit was to
arrive, one needs to specify you do not want a liftgate and in that case the
driver watches and does not, nor is "permitted" to help unload the freight..

"Holland" shipped it. Holland Freight Services or something. The
invoice is up at the house now so I can't look at it.

| Subject: | RV-10 HQ Campsites Group 1 all picked and secured! |
For the early group of RV-10 HQ campsites, they're all staked out and
secured now, so you have a presence at OSH!
When it's cool enough tonight that I want to sit on a PC and update
the website, I'll try to post actual photos, but I did draw up this
drawing quick so you could see the site location.
There is a site map link on this page:
http://www.myrv10.com/osh/2008_Campsites.html
That takes you here to see the currently staked sites:
http://www.myrv10.com/osh/2008_RV10HQ_Campsite_Layout_Group1.jpg
Scholler is filling up faster than previous years. Sites around us were
filled that previously would have been wide open for the staking.
We ended up getting some of the same sites that we have had in previous
years, that are about as close as you can expect to get to the
flightline without being way ahead in your stakeout. 6 of the sites
of our neighbors had grass that was real long, indicating that they
were staked out probably a week or more ago. We were, however, able
to get all of group 1's sites contiguous.
Group 2 will be staked out by Bob Condrey on Tuesday, and will
*possibly* be connected to the same row, as there were more
vacancies right next to us, but will likely be a row or two
West.
I will update the large site map later once their sites are staked,
but by early next week you should be able to have the locations of
all of the RV-10HQ areas, so you can find them for post-show
relaxation!
That's all for now, but I have actual photos of the area
and from the flight today. It was an awesome flight with my
daughter to go there, starting out with 1 mile viz in fog
and drizzle with 300' ceilings for the departure. Started
blowing out the top at 4000', and then through some additional
higher clouds until we topped out at 9000'. A PERFECT
example of a day where an instrument rating turned a no-go day
into a very very beautiful and simple VFR on top flight that
ended with an actual but simple IFR approach to 36 at OSH!
ONE WORD OF WARNING FOR ALL WHO WANT TO CAMP: This year with
the show bleeding into August, they will NOT let you register
a site until you are renewed on your EAA membership at least
to cover the month of August. Since I renew at the show
every year, this meant I had to renew today, and I had to pay
for the renewal of another camping member also. So please
if you're camping, save Bob the additional headaches and RENEW
IMMEDIATELY before he registers you!
