| Subject: | Re: using a hand rivet squeezer |
Keith,
Hand squeezers have an adjustable ram (the part that moves up and down with the
handle) that the lower rivet set rides on. The ram screws in and out to adjust
for variable rivet length--typically a full turn adjusts like 1/32 of inch
or so (maybe 1/64 I don't remember). Finding the right amount of in vs. out is
usually a trial and error affair, at least for me. I adjust so that my first
squeeze is under set and then go from there. Just remember that an under set
rivet can be squeezed some more, while an over-set rivet has no remedy except
to drill it out and start over.

On most hand squeezers the die that moves up and down sits in an adjustable
barrel. Sometimes you have to squeeze the handles a bit to take the
pressure off the barrel, but once you find its sweet spot the barrel should
screw in and out pretty easily.
When things get really tricky, you can shim the dies with washers to make
them bigger, and grind them off to make them shorter, but the adjustment
should take care of 99% of it.

Ah OK.
Thanks for that. Now here's another question I'm actually skinning over a framed
area that normally held radios in my Nanchang CJ-6. I want to be able to remove
the aluminum sheet so I was going to rivet in nut plates. Do you think it
would be easier and as strong to use rivenuts instead?
The sheet will have a smoke oil tank and battery mounted on it. I rarely go negative
G so there won't be much it the way of a pulling force on the screws

You got a great answer for this already... but might have been easier with
a simple phone call... and we could walk you through it.- What was explai
ned was probably the single most important issue on building.- Suggest yo
u buy a rivet ck gauge.... they sell tehm (really cheap) for both 3/32 and
1/8th-rivets.

Michael, I have pictures posted of my install of the Accuracy Avionic
fiberglass panel. I used a 1" wide strip of the Van's aluminum panel
and bonded it to the glass with 8-32 studs burried in it. I attach the
panel by running nuts down on the studs thru the van's stock support
brackets, works well, and no visible screws from the front.

I'll post some pictures shortly of the radio rack detail. I took some
1/8" angle aluminum and ripped it to about 5/16" wide and tapped holes
for the screws that tie the gns-430 racks to the front. I also made
mounting brackets that tie the radio trays to the sub panel. With this
method nothing is cantilevered off the front panel.

| Subject: | Re: Foreflight Mobile 3.0 for iPhone |
Now that I'm back on the ground and have my laptop handy again, here
is a quick snapshot set that I just put together. It is basically
the 2 emails that I received when I filed my flight plan for the
return trip today. It shows a great example of the notification
email you get, plus the briefing email that you get when you file
a flight plan in Foreflight 3.0.
http://www.myrv10.com/tips/IFR/Foreflight_Filing_Example
This trip so far I have filed all my IFR plans in Foreflight Mobile
3.0, and I filed them all less than 20 minutes before departure, and
my plan was on hand when I called for clearance.
Today was a particularly thrilling day....I departed Key West and
flew straight north over about 90 miles of water. I filed direct
to Leesburg in central FL. As I was climbing and leveling off at
8000', they threw me a curve ball and asked me if I've got the
Minne.4 arrival on hand because they needed me to fly the minne.4
STAR with the RSW entry. Since I had my tablet and iphone on board,
I said "well sure, but do you need me to have it right away, or
can I wait until I'm over land". (I didn't want to do anything
at all to upset the apple cart while flying over that vast water
stretch, so didn't want to dig out anything and turn on devices
immediate as I was still leveling out and leaning to LOP fuel
flows (10.5 gph today)). They said sure, just head direct RSW
and let them know when I had it handy. So after we settled in,
I decided to leave the tablet stowed and just try the iphone
with Foreflight Mobile 3.0 instead. Sure enough, I had the STAR
downloaded with all my Florida items, and I pulled it up and
read through it. It was pretty simple, with a few various fixes,
and then some vectoring at the end. So I called back and said
I had it, and I loaded it into the Cheltons. It was easy on
the Cheltons to load it up, and it displayed the entire arrival
sequence, and was ready for me to add the IFR approach if necessary.
It drew the whole arrival on my MFD. Then they gave me a 5000'
crossing altitude for one of the fixes, so I punched in the VNAV
on the Cheltons and set a 2.2 degree descent with automatic VNAV
to 5000' exactly as I hit the fix. It was awesome....filing
with an iphone, getting the STAR (something that I rarely need
to do for the places I fly) on the iphone using foreflight,
and then playing with the STAR and VNAV on the EFIS and having it
all work perfectly. It was an awesome flight to wrap up before
Christmas....hopefully the rest of the trip home will go as
smoothly.
Although I really like Voyager and plan to use the tablet for
those scuzzy low approaches, because it's geo-referenced approach
plates are awesome and it's nice stuff, today I wasn't in the
clouds too much and it was a perfect day to leave it stowed and
rely on the iphone.
The above link is the textual emails I received, printed and
cropped to .jpgs for viewing here on the web, so you can see
how it's formatted. I'm pretty impressed, because if you just
check your mail after filing the plan, you have that whole
briefing in your inbox. On the way down to FL, I was able to
review in more detail the whole thing even hours in advance, for
lots more information than I'd care to hear from a briefer by
phone.
Coming up on 600 hours in the RV-10 pretty soon...it's been
such a wonderful plane.

Nice work ITIM.
Can't wait until my T-Mobile contract is up in April 2010 so I can join in
the fun. Scott rubs it in my face too!
