Phil,
I've been in Afghanistan for the last year, and therefore out of the loop
for a while. I was just curious about what I was missing that has caused
such a reaction.
I've seen claims of EAA not supporting home builders, and since I'm about
to start on an RV-10 at the end of this deployment, that concerns me. I
was hoping you(or someone) could bring me up to speed on what I have
missed, and what the issues are that we are having.
I admire your convition, and your willingness to take action. I do n't
want to seem like I'm challenging you, but I do want to be well informed
before I make a decision,
Thanks
Jason

I aiso have the VPX and have it hooked up to control the flps. There is no reason
to have anything else controlling the flaps if you use the VPX. You
will have to provide a feedback position sensor . I made a bracket and attached
the Ray Allen servo to the actuator arm and attached the
whole thing to the side if the tunnel. The only issue is the VPX does not distinguish
the reflex position! You can set the top and the bottom positions and
only 2 intermediate positions.

Jason;
First off, that you for the sacrifice to leave the comforts and safety
of the US for our battle in Afghanistan. It=99s hard, been there,
not Afghinstan but another =9Coperation in 1990-1991. Thank you
for your service!
I think you ask a very good question. Phil may not be able to answer it
completely but my initial thought is the folks writing articles for
Sport aviation are ex flying magazine writers who have no idea of what
building a plane is about, there was a meeting and their has been that
=9Ccombined=9D effort of AOPA and EAA to represent us with
Lsa and other general flying issues, good idea, sure! I would like to
see the EAA fight for homebuilders and not general aviation however.
My corporation does the same thing EAA does. Phil just wants members to
have more say on who is voted in versus the big kahuna at EAA himself.

Hi Everyone,
If many of you follow =VAF=, you're probably aware that there is a
campaign within the EAA Membership community to participate in the
upcoming election of the EAA Board of Directors. We figured that
instead of just complaining, we should actually participate in the
democratic elections.
This simply idea led to more than 1 month of stone walling from the
EAA. Still to this day, they have not provided a simple document that
allows their members to participate in the election. So we copied their
language that assigns the proxy rights to Rod Hightower and changed the
name on it to reflect me. The EAA has admitted that this is a document
that they can't turn down at the elections in a few weeks.
In the past there were 3 choices for EAA members to participate in the
election:
1) They could choose not to participate.
2) They could show up in person to cast their vote at the annual
business meeting.
3) They could assign their vote to Rod Hightower. (This is a check
box on your annual renewal)
Long story short, the elections would look like 13 votes for some
members and 16,000 votes for those that Hightower wanted. So they ended
up being appointments and not elections by the members.
I am receiving proxy forms from all over the globe and if you are
frustrated with the EAA, I would appreciate it if you would do that same
thing. The form can be found at this link.

Today the EAA retaliated against their members and sent out a link
asking them to assign proxy votes to Rod Hightower. Please don't give
total control of EAA to the current membership and choose to put control
of the EAA back in the hands of the membership. Here's some details on
that message:
http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?p=679285
Please don't assign your proxy to the EAA Leadership, and if you feel
compelled I would be honored to carry your proxy vote forward at the
business meeting at AirVenture. This is the first time (that I'm aware
of) in the history of EAA that the members have found a way to
legitimately participate.
We need to get this word out to everyone who supports the effort ASAP.
So if you agree, please highlight this proxy effort and share the
message on every message board you can before some unknowing soul gives
his vote to Rod Hightower and his buddies.
We are going to be continuing this effort going into 2013 too and can
use your support and even you active participation.

Gentlemen, I posted an inquiry on the VP forum asking about the reflex

understood that the top position could be set up as the reflex position.

Have the VP-200 and I use the Skyview for the =933 indicator,
which the VPX works with. So I would assume it=99s the same setup.
Here is a picture I took off the Dynon site using the VP-X, not mine.
The numbers are setup on the Dynon during the configuration. 0 can be
=933 and so on as Kelly states.

You are not mistaken The update impacts the speed controls and restrictions
. I.e. going from reflex to 0 shouldn't have the same parameters as going t
o full flaps. It will also make it more pilot intuitive.

Hi Jason,
Thank you for your time in Afganistan and for sacrificing a good
portion of your life for those of us here typing e-mails.
Pascal hit a few key area, but there are a few more that should be
brought up as well.
The EAA debate has been a long time coming. It actually goes all the
way back to Paul Poberezny when there was a movement to remove him.
But in the past 3-4 years, the frustration with EAA has reached the
boiling point for many members.
Long story short, since Rod Hightower has taken over the organization
the charter and image of EAA has made a dramatic shift away from their
core values. The EAA has become focused on being the next AOPA
politcally and they're focused on the money that can be made through
AirVenture. I think it's great that AirVenture represents a strong
revenue stream for the organization. But the organization has become
focused on milking that stream and the memership community has paid
the price. If 100% of the members disappeared tomorrow, the EAA would
still exist based on the airshow. So the members are now second class
citizens in the organization.
Our efforts to participate in this years election were blocked by EAA
by being unresponsive and ignoring our requests for a simple ballot to
participate. This is a right that is entitled to the membership
community within the bylaws. But this right has not been made
available to the membership. As a result, the EAA holds nearly all of
the membership votes. It's like the fox in the hen house in some
regards.
I love the EAA. I am passionate about it. I am a lifetime member. I
have served as a chapter VP and President. As I sit here right now,
I'm wearing a red AirVenture 2009 polo. I love the legacy EAA
culture, I love the EAA brand. I really do care a lot about EAA.
Since Rod Hightower has taken over the organization, the EAA has seen
nearly 50 employees walk out the door from the toxic environment that
Rod has created. These are important people like Charlie Becker, Adam
Smith, Barry Elk, etc. Just yesterday, they lost HG Frautschy who is
an Executive Director who has spent 22 years as an employee of the
organization. The EAA culture as we know it is under attack from
within.
You might know Dick Kohler, he has taught a number of EAA SportAir
workshops and he is passionate about EAA. You should read his
comments at this link because he pretty much captures the environment
that Rod has created.
http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showpost.php?p=675101&postcount=122
Additional information can be found at this link containing comments
from EAA Board Members who have resigned. Here is a key comment if
you don't go read the entire link.
============
As Mike Dale put it was time for the Board to "grow up and start
having the CEO work for the Board". I cannot be part of a rubber stamp
Board whose prime loyalty is to the Founder and President rather than
EAA members.
============
http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?do=main.textpost&id=7d613991-adcb-426a-a210-5b7ee4112049
I hope you will consider supporting our effort. We won't have enough
votes to change this election, but we will have enough to put a shot
across the bow of EAA's leadership.
Thanks,
Phil

a newbie, but a good cook/trash man/drink mixer/food shopper...whatever is needed.
Raining now in Ky...we needed it bad, but I sure hope for beautiful wx
during everyone's travels and at Osh. See ya there.

As bob states, your assumption is correct Rick. The problem is that zero degrees
becomes the first stop and then you only get to choose one more prior to full
flaps. I think Marc was talking about adding an additional intermediate stop.
On the Garmin G3, the display is not so elaborate as the dynon. It is just
a bar graph with a sliding pointer.

That is exactly how it works on the VP-200 Kelly. I would bet that the VP-X is
the same.

I will be using the VPX as well. Any pictures? Couldn't you define the reflex
position as top of travel, trailing as 1st intermediate and 1/2 flaps as second
intermediate?

I aiso have the VPX and have it hooked up to control the flps. There is no reason
to have anything else controlling the flaps if you use the VPX. You
will have to provide a feedback position sensor . I made a bracket and attached
the Ray Allen servo to the actuator arm and attached the
whole thing to the side if the tunnel. The only issue is the VPX does not distinguish
the reflex position! You can set the top and the bottom positions and
only 2 intermediate positions.

Jim, try Tom Hastings at 541-912-6402. Tell Tom you got his name through me
from Dick Epplett in Bend, OR, who is a friend of mine. Dick used to own a
hangar at the Eugene airport, but now is retired in Bend and owns a hangar
there. He says that if anyone might know of something available for you,
Tom's the guy. I don't know Tom, but Dick is a great guy, built two
experimentals, was a dentist in Eugene, etc. Upstanding guy. He also said
that if Tom didn't know of anything that there are other names we could try.
All the best of luck!

Subject: RV10-List: broken down in Eugene Oregon
Anyone have any contacts for hanger space at KEUG.I have a fluctuating oil
pressure problem and looks like the plane is going to be here at least a
month .Thought I had the problem resolved but it returned.Oil pressure
increases during flight to redline -it is not likely a gauge issue as i have
compared the electronic gauge with a mechanical and they match.Any one have
a similar experience. Engine is a narrow deck 540 converted to an io-540.I
overhauled it myself 350+ hours ago with new cylinders ,cam, lifters.I
replaced the cage type oil pressure regulator with an eci adjustable.My plan
is to remove oil filter adapter (b&C)and clean gallery to sump and remove
and clean ball seat and springs on pressure regulator.If problem doesnt
resolve it means engine tear down.One other symptom that is that pressure
always ran about 8 pounds high for the first 5 minutes of flight the would
normalize,I have been advised this is in fact not normal.Any other thoughts
from the engine gurus-thanks Jim

I didn't mean to imply it did not show the position, it just is not curved and
as fancy as the dynon graphic
