| Subject: | When to install door windows |
Gary=2C
I held off on my windows until the lock hardware and door gas strut mounts
were installed without any problems.
One thing I wish I had done early on was install the door seals. This would
have saved a lot of fiberglass refinishing. These were installed before do
ing the windows but after getting a great fit on the doors. However=2C when
the stock door seals were added the door stood proud of the cabin top by 1
/16" to 3/16". And now that my windows are installed I'm going back and r
efinishing the doors to fit the cabin top.

| Subject: | Alternator wire length - request |
I am installing the main #8 wire from the panel to the alternator. Due to the breaker
location on the panel, I think that I might be coming up short running
it to the alternator. It is called wire #J1 in the Vans wiring kit.
Question? To run it to the alternator - how much wire (length) do you need in front
of the firewall where it emerges from the left side of the firewall to the
alternator.
If I do not have enough #8 wire, I will have to buy a new one as I was told on
the high voltage wires to NOT solder them together or make any type of break in
the wire.

I don't know the distance off hand, but you could run it out the right
side of the FW since the Alternator is on that side.
The alternator is not high voltage, but it is high amperage. One
thing I have done in the past is to crimp on a ring terminal forward
of the firewall and use a separate piece going from there to the
alternator, then you can bolt the two ring terminals together and put
a good heavy piece(s) of heat shrink (or other insulator) over the
joint. This would allow you to disconnect it if/when you take the
engine off in the future also, without having to untie everything that
is holding the alternator wire as it works its way forward to the
alternator.

Its easrier to run the alternator wire inside from the breaker to the right
side of the firewall as the alternator will be on the right side of the
engine. Also do not understand the high voltage business as the highest
voltage they will see is about 14v DC. Inserta a piece of #8 with butt
connectors

Nice piece Don,
The price is smokin if anyone knows what this type of work costs...I can't use
it though, I used the standard Andair mounted to the top of the tunnel with braided
lines run to one side of the tunnel and the scat run to the other side.
If it is designed to use the standard Vans CRAPPO valve, (I know some love that
boiler equipment) or the Andair with the handle extension it looks like the
way to go...

Do you have a drawing showing how the fuel valve fits into the picture?
Does this require the Andair valve or the standard valve or either?
If it's the andair valve, I can see that the stem fits through the hole
and I think with some shielding you can keep the heat off the valve,
BUT you're probably going to want to wrap the whole plenum in the
reflective insulation. If it's for the standard valve I can't see
exactly how the heat is kept away. I found a significant amount of
heat is spread to the seat area through the tunnel when the rear
heat was turned on...and that it was significantly lessened once I
wrapped completely my SCAT tubing and the aluminum T's with the
reflective insulation. So having an aluminum plenum might make it
easy to direct airflow, but it may become a very large heat box
to heat the fuel valve and tunnel unless the builder takes the
precaution to insulate the plenum.
I know personally that the whole tunnel top will get pretty warm
with the rear heat on with an uninsulated SCAT tube. I also know
that from talking to a couple other builders with lots of hours
on their planes like I have, that during extended climbs there is
some sort of issue going on with the fuel system...probably vapor
in the system, that causes reduced fuel pressure. Climbs of
maybe 6000' or more. I haven't figured out if this is on the
forward side of the firewall, or the aft, but keeping the entire
fuel system as cool as possible is an important thing. Just would
like to get an idea how this fits around the valve, to know if
it has any need for added heat shielding.

| Subject: | Elevator Trim Tab Travel |
Hi Everyone,
I just finished my elevators and I have a question about the trim tabs.
How much deflection should the trim tab have with a neutral elevator,
nose up elevator, nose down elevator?
The reason I'm asking is that one of my hinges has a 'catch' in it. If
I lift the trim tab up all the way, it travels freely. If I push it
down from neutral, it catches "aka: binds" before releasing to operate
freely. I'm thinking that the binding action may be well beyond the
limits we'll set the plane up for at a later step.
1) What are these limits?
2) Has anyone seen this - if so what did you do?
3) Does the hinge eventually wear over time and loosen up? If so, that
will probably eliminate all areas of concern.
Thanks,
Phil

Nice piece Don,
The price is smokin if anyone knows what this type of work costs...I can't
use it though, I used the standard Andair mounted to the top of the tunnel with
braided lines run to one side of the tunnel and the scat run to the other side.
If it is designed to use the standard Vans CRAPPO valve, (I know some love that
boiler equipment) or the Andair with the handle extension it looks like the way
to go...

OK guys here it is. Still not sure of the cost/price. It has about 40 minutes
of welding, not counting any time for shearing, and the brake work. Definitely
over $50, but certainly under $100. We'll do the best we can..promise.. but
boy is that a nice piece!
If we get one done, I'll bring it to Copperstate.

| Subject: | Re: Alternator wire length - request |
I would not splice theses wires, it just creates a failure point. Have you considered
just running the alternator output to the battery side of the starter
contactor? You could then run a wire from there to the distribution bus. I am
not familiar with Van's schematic so I don't know if this will work for you.
Nevertheless you can get #8 wire at your Home Depot aircraft parts store. It
does not have to be tefzel for this application.

I really only need to know the length from the left side FW penetration now.
I only have 60" in front of the Firewall now at the left corner next to the starter
relay. I do not want to add a additional firewall penetration. I need to
run the alt output separate as it is monitored on the AFS3500 system from a shunt
on the sub panel inside the cockpit

| Subject: | Re: When to install door windows |
I endorse Dave Saylor's comment. Hold off till the locks are in. Also, if possible
keep the doors open after they are finished and with the gas strut installed.
I was told that (when compressed)the gas can leak out leaving you to pay for
the very expensive seal gas strut replacements.
