However, changing it every 5 years like your hoses (you change the rubber hoses every 5 years, don't you???) along with the working belt makes this a non-issue. The weak link seems to be the alternator bearings from having the belts too tight. Properly adjusted, there's really no reason for the belt to fail prior to the 12 year/2400 hour recommended overhaul cycle. IMHO, of course.

Don & Kim McDonald are visiting the central coast for a few days and I was able to solve the burning question... Can I fit two RV's in my hangar? Turns out I have room (properly arranged) to fit three! Hummm... What's Van's order line phone number again? With any luck we will be flying together in the am and I can finally get those air to air photos that will allow me to post the First Flight notice on Van's site. It's never too late right? Keep pounding, it's worth it.

I don't think Wes's feet have touched the ground yet. This is my first video, YouTube, borrowed neighbors camera, etc. so let's see if it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcPmLj5Djxc YouTube really drops the resolution, and I had to edit it down to less than 10 minutes, but you can get an idea. I promise you, even if your first flight is unpainted, minimal interior, etc. it is a thing of beauty!

What has gotten to me is all the wiring, rewiring, modifying, remodifying, sanding, resanding, ordering and reordering, etc. - you get the picture. With all the redos, i have practically built RV-20 already. Jae Redoin somethin Robin Marks wrote: > > notice on Vans site. Its never too late right?

I just landed in Minneapolis after flying up from south east of Atlanta. I was racing up the front side of a front that extended from Dallas TX north to the Canadian border. I really benefited by the great tail winds. At times I had 55 KT winds quartering on my tail. I was at 8000' at WOT and 2400 RPM and doing 168 KTS TAS. My ground speed at times was 210 KTS. Most of the time I was doing 185 to 190KTS ground speed. Total flying time 5 hours not counting the fuel stop at BMG. What a way to go.

It went through here pretty mild. It is mandatory to have WX though to get that close to them.
