If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Delta Airlines
one year ago, you will have $49.00 today.
If you had purchased $1000 of shares in AIG
one year ago, you will have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Lehman Brothers
one year ago, you will have $0.00 today.
But---- if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer
one year ago, drank all the beer,
then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund,
you will have received $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment plan
is to drink heavily & recycle.
It's called the 401-Keg.

Many medical professionals say that during long flights it is important to
moves ones body many times to avoid blood and lymph fluid pooling=2C blood
clots=2C stroke or heart attack. With so many functions mounted on the cont
rol stick=2C it does seem extremely comfortable=2C like having the televisi
on remote in hand while being a couch patato during college and NFL weekend
s=2C but this may not be so good for the body. May also be a source of conf
usion in remembering what is what.
Then there is the inadvertent activation of a switch by clothing a clipboar
d or other item.
There was a story about a glider pilot flying a Stemme motor glider who was
urinating into a bag=2C focusing so intently on the aim of his unit that h
e was unaware that he was down trimming the glider and it was a near disast
er and fortunately only resulted in urine all over the canopy and cockpit a
nd not his body=2Cplane and urine all over the rocks below.
Anyone see the movie=2C Walli. Thinking about the human population in space
on their automatic chairs with their 40oz big gulps at hand. Life looked s
o easy and (uninteresting).
Sorry couldn't resist the post.
Wish I could be building today=2C got to work to earn the $$$=2C atleast st
ill doing that.

Excellent post=2C couldn't agree more...but you forgot what you would have
after investing 150-200K into an RV10. One nice airplane worth a hell of a
lot more than that stupid paper which is now worth so little.
Keep pluggin away. Or rivetting away.
Can't wait till they take away the gas tax and start taxing us on miles dri
ven or miles flown. Sarcasm!

Infinity grips for me too. Not that I wouldn't like one of the other
brands but I started with them on my -4, then two on my 6A now two more
for the -10. Sure glad I don't have to place a pair in the rear seats.
One more going to go in the 8A. Darn that's two more for the 8A. Grrrrr
Note I provide full or near full function to the Co-Pilot's side with a
switch to disable all Co-Pilot stick functions.
* PTT,
* AP Disconnect
* Trim
* Flaps (momentary down, full up) [yes I like]
* Flip Flop (first time but I think I am gunna like it too)
* BRS (optional)

I used Van's wood grips because I think the wood looks kind of classy, in
moderation.
I put their PTT in front, AP disconnect and Van's trim on top in the
supplied cover plate.
After about a year I had lost both little button caps on top of the AP
disconnects. Vans sells a rubber cap replacement for about $9 that works
well. I looked all over the place for a better price but no joy. Seemed
like a pretty simple part, especially here close to Silcone Valley. Not.
I wish I had put the trim switch in a different part of the grip cover.
Where the trim is now, it takes two hands to fly and trim on take-off if my
left thumb is trimming nose down. With my left hand on the grip and the
stick needing forward pressure, my left thumb rises too high to push on the
back part of the grip, so I have to resort to pushing with my right hand
while lefty does the trimming. I've learned to be very careful to get the
trim right before take-off, but a few of the first departures were
interesting.
On a recent customer's RV8, we installed Vans grips and trim switch, but
this time with the trim switch near the top of the cover plate, where my
AP disconnect is located. That works much better.
I couldn't bear to use the 2-lb. (OK, maybe 5 oz.) steel collar supplied
with Van's grips. I got a similar aluminum part from McMaster. For $160 I
think Vans should spring for the lighter part .

I'm installing the CH/Tosten. I chose them over the Infinity because I
wanted fewer switches. Specifically I didn't plan to put flaps on the
stick.
Fit and finish is great.
The rotation of the grip is easily adjustable. The design of the grip
and it's rotation feature makes it seem reasonable to fly it with the
grip free to rotate, making it easy and comfortable to fly with either
hand. Has anyone done this or have any experience with it?
In any case, I'd make the same decision again but I have no meaningful
experience with the product.

Finally 'almost' finished with this iteration of the panel and plane!!! We enjoy
it. Third picture shows that we may need a larger vehicle, as all of this came
out of the -10 and we still had room in the back seats for more!!!! larry &

I finished my tow machine and here is a picture. I have about $150 in
it-I
didn't have to buy a gear head motor, the wheel is from Harbor Freight
at
$9, the 2 batteries from Wal-Mart (the motor is a 24V so I have 2
speeds)
but I kept buying the 1" square tube from Lowes and it was expensive. 2
problems: the space between the wheel pant and the tow wheel is too
small so
I have to extend the arms about 3" and I need to add a light so I can
hook
up in the dark. I'm thinking about a seat also so I can ride it around.
I
got the idea from a Kitplanes article a few years back.
