From: pilotdds@aol.com I can't resist throwing my two cents in.In my location as in many others lpv approaches are popping up everywhere and they are amazing,routinely taking us to within 300ft agl through ground fog ang marine layers.I have enough to worry about in these situations and appreciate the best antenna location possible.Thanks for sharing I will be relocating my antennas -----Original Message----- From: John Cox Sent: Fri, 29 May 2009 8:37 pm Subject: RE: RV10-List: Learning through the efforts of others. Whether or not an item is an AD has been beaten to death on this list in the distant past.? The kernal of wisdom lies with those who have not yet taken the path of installation where the antenna's? function might just be degraded at a time which could impact safety in a negative manor.? This issue is much like the Emergency Locator Beacons of the 121.5 variety with antenna which could never transmit a signal to save the soles on board. ? Let me apologize for the casualness of my email which caused a few to think in terms of narrow Airworthiness Directives.? I did not forget that many bask in the Experiment portion of Experimental Amateur Built Kit and go defensive on the use of the work Airworthiness.? I received it from the Fed on a daily AD notification subscription.? I found value in what Cirrus was doing to make their aircraft safer for their operators.? Sorry to waste valuable bandwidth.? it was offered as Information Only for the Safe use of RV-10 builders. ?

Wise advice indeed, but it does not look like an AD to me. Informational only, I think.

Sorry I don't have a picture ...... but Wal Mart has a nifty offset screwdriver that's just a little longer than a bit extender ..... has a sleeve that unlocks the ball joint that effectively does the same thing as the spiral driver. Look for a red sleeve. Great tool for a couple of bucks!!! Linn johngoodman wrote: > > I've already got one. It really works great - until it breaks.

A couple of observations: * One of my steps wiggled ever so slightly. My theory why this is so is that the step holes weren't drilled perfectly perpendicular. Thus the AN3 bolt can't grip quite enough... and the step would exhibit more wiggle over time. * Using machined bushings sounds good, but they may not fit right if holes are already drilled through the WD-1007 step and WD-1008 mounting bracket... unless your holes are just about perfect. * If anyone hasn't yet drilled their step and wants a pair of "new" bushings, mine can be had for $23 including shipping ($33 otherwise). Contact me offline if interested. * Replacing the AN-3 bolts with AN-4 bolts made a huge difference. Once the hardware was changed out there was no more step movement. * Step access panels rock. Step inspection / tightening / replacement would be very difficult without having panels installed and I don't know how you'd do it otherwise. I used a couple of extra Vans wing type access panel kits for mine. * Gottcha - Note that the bolt on page 30-4 installed with the head on top. Removing that bolt bolt after the fact requires lots of upwards clearance and it just so happens that there's a riveted on side panel in the way. Even with access panels removing the bolt is difficult. I ended up cutting mine off and installing the new -4 hardware with the bolt head on the bottom. Now it's back to fiberglass work!

LM190A-121X1-LO1 KIT $795 each. It comes with the controller, and inverter. They are 12 inch screens. http://www.landmarktek.com/ I also found a chinese manufacturer that sells 10 inch screens for only a couple hundred bucks, 1500nits. The problem is that the resolution is only 800x600.
