| Subject: | Re: Rotating wing stands |
If you are looking for a solution to rotating the wings for painting,
take a look at this
<ww.mykitlog.com/users/display_log.php?user=MauleDriver&project=224&category=5986&log=113290&row=12>
for a good hint as to how I went about setting up for single handed
rotation.
The requirement was to be able to paint the entire wing panel in a
single session. This eliminates any seams, economizes on paint and
simplifies the shoot. And since the stuff is so toxic, I didn't want
anyone else in there for the turn unless they had a fresh air supply - I
only had one. Opening doors and moving around is not a good thing in a
paint booth anyway.
So, I found that the lightening holes handily fit PVC pipe. In
particular, the second hole back from the leading edge, near the CG,
fits one size of pipe quite snugly with no play. In the picture you can
see I made collars of the right size pipe and glued those to a smaller
size pipe (not sure why in retrospect but I did discover that pipe
diameters are not precise batch to batch so the collars would allow a
little sanding for fit and ease of insertion). In another (oblong?)
hole I used a size of pipe that was close enough and had lots of play.
On the other end of the wing I securely mounted a rectangle of plywood
for ease of handling and leverage.
In the paint booth, I used rope or a strap hanging from the ceiling as a
sling for one or both pipes (can't recall the details). For painting,
the pipes and the plywood on the other end were laying on sawhorses.
When one side was finished, I was able to just grab the plywood and turn
the wing over single handed so that it was once again laying on the 2
sawhorses.
It all worked surprisingly well and seemed like a cheap/easy solution
for a 1 time need.

I have a Snap-On borescope for sale. It is model BK5500. Does not have
SIM card capability. Works fine. $175 plus shipping.

Now that we have angle of attack capability with virtually whichever avionics suite
we choose, why install the stall warning system that Van's supplies for the
RV10?Any thoughts out there pro or con?

Are the Van's fuel float senders inferior to capacitative (sp?) senders? Are there
problems with installation of the capacitative units (I have QB wings)?

I didn't install it and used the pressure switch for a baggage door warning.

Capacitive senders are more accurate than floats. But, when calibrated thru an
EFIS (I have GRT) the floats are surprisingly accurate, except that they cannot
see the top 5 gallons. But on top of that nearly eveyone puts in a fuel flow
transducer, and their accuracy is amazing. My advice is to just put in the floats,
and spend your money somewhere else.

I did install it. With Lightspeed headsets, I can barely hear it. I greatly prefer
the audio AOA warning tone from my D6. However, the Vans' stall horn worked
on the first flights; the AOA requires in flight calibration.
