******************************************************************************
RV7-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the RV7-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the RV7-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
RV7-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the RV7-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.

Hi All,
I have a question about upholstering the Van's seat cushions. On the back
and bottom seat cushions, how do you make the fabric follow the seat foam?
Would velcro attached to the foam and the interior of the fabric work?
Should one stitch through the entire seat cushion? How do the professional
shops do this?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

[A fellow builder talked some sense into me. I'm now asking $5,500 for
my RV7 wing and tail kits.]
Reality has set in, and I've decided that now is not the time for me to
build an airplane. So I'm selling my RV7 tail and wing kits. Here's your
chance to save money on both kits, with some of the work already done,
and avoid the factory lead-time on the wing kit.
I have done about 70% of the metal work on the tail kit, but have not
primed or riveted the pieces yet. A local "Fed" came by and looked at my
work and thought it was outstanding. The wing kit is completely
untouched. I have inventoried the parts and sorted most of the hardware,
and that's it. I ordered the Duckworks landing lights (the square ones,
I think), electric trim, and the capacitive fuel sender.
The parts are located near Portland, OR and are available for
inspection. I would like to sell the kits to someone in the area, and
could even arrange delivery within 100 miles or so. I am asking $5,500
for both kits.
I also have old preview plans (circa 1998) for the -6 and the -8, if
anyone's interested in those.
Thanks!

Well, I spent time searching the archives for a little help in best
practices installing the tips for the elevators for my emp, but to no avail,
so I thought I'd give you guys a shout to see how you attached your elevator
tips or more importantly, How did you close up the counter weight arms? Not
too long ago I built a 9 emp and the counter weights were very different
than the 7. But the 7 is a totally different closure with the counterweight.
Did you guys just use the lead as the end cap and epoxy the tip sides to the
lead? Or did you cut back the lead and laminate over the front part of the
arm, fairing everything out? How did yours turn out, or any comments/tips?
Thanks
Tom
Finishing the emp, waiting on the wings.

First of all, I am in no way associated with Flight Factory Simulations! I'm just
a fan of MS Flight Simulator. The link below is to a company who has just released
an RV-7 for MS Flight Simulator. The cost for the aircraft is $19.00 bucks.
The RV-7 comes equipped with a tip-up canopy, 200hp engine and it's a tail
dragger. The flight dynamics are fairly realistic and it has a downloadable
POH that is included in the price.
If you like simulations for practicing approaches, maneuvers or whatever then why
not have an RV-7? I spent some time with it and it's was a kick to show my
family what my airplane will look like........some day.
