I am using Vans limits, was just trying to enter the data into an app that would
create a graphical box of the c.g. envelope. Van's published limits to not seem
to change as the weight of the aircraft varies. I was just looking to see
if anyone had other data that tapers the envelope as weight increased as many
airplanes do, or if the c.g. limits were the same throughout the entire weight
range of the aircraft.

Bob, I don'tknow what you are looking for but I use a program called
FlightScale. It is an app on the i-pad. You can set up a graphical envelope
and that just add the weights of passangers and baggage and it will
automatically adjust or cg limits inside the envelope. I hope this helps.

| Subject: | iPad 3 flying observations |
I've had my iPad 3 out flying a few times and I have made a few observations.
I like to keep the iPad battery charged up while flying so I use the cigarette
lighter receptacle to hold a 12v charger. The 1 amp charger I used for the iPad
1 will not charge the new model. So I bought a new charger from Radio Shack
that will put out 2.1 amps. The iPad indicates that it is being charged but
the battery level keeps going down although more slowly. I wanted something
that would at least keep the level even or increase the charge. On the return
trip, I tried an inverter with the iPad wall charger plugged into it and that
worked. The downside is that this is a very clunky way to get the desired result.
I was using WingX and I had the cellular turned on so I could update the
weather if the reception was good enough. No other devices were connected
to the iPad. The screen brightness was set to about 1/2. Turning off the cellular
off may help the battery situation.
I am not fond of the glossy screen when flying, so I bought a Brando nonglare screen
protector to cure the problem. Unfortunately, the nonglare protector ruins
the look of the Retina display and makes it look like the old iPad screen.
The roughness of the matt screen gives the illusion of seeing individual
pixels. I don't have a solution for this, and since one of the reasons I upgraded
was the Retina screen, the nonglare protector may have to come off.
I had WingX quit a few times when I switched from the Moving Map display to Route
Planning. I don't know why and I have sent an email to Hilton about the problem.
Too early to have heard back from them.

| Subject: | Re: Doors & gas struts |
I found a product on ACS called DISCOAT that looks interesting in protecting the windows during construction and paint. (http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/discoat4220plexiglass.php)
Does anyone have any experience using the product? If so, how much did you need
to cover all five windows.
thanks,
bob

No experience with it here but some folks over at the canard sites use Spray Lat http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/plexiglasProtector.php and have had problems removing it. I just taped the window edges with some high quality pvc painters tape, then cut a heavy piece of soft flexible heavy clear vinyl sheet to fit and taped it down on top of the edging tape with Gorilla duct tape. Ran an X of Gorilla tape over the vinyl . We also did this on the Cozy transparencies and it works great and is cheap.

FlightScale looks good (I have not tried it) but Advanced Flight Systems ha

it is preloaded for many different aircraft including the RX-10. Yes I know
, it actually says RX-10.

only reports weights for gross weight issues, not W&B as I recall from

The Vans' struts work okay if you don't add a lot of weight to the door. If you
do add a lot of interior panels, etc., you may need a stronger strut.

My doors are stock with no interior panels. Van's std. struts worked OK for about
a year, then started to lose lift, especially in cold weather. Switched to
Van's heavy duty struts. They work fine, but are pricey at about $120 each. McMaster-Carr
has similar for lower cost.
