I am working on the fuselage and am planning to include a fire
extinguisher in the cabin. What size (5 lb, 10 lb, ???) have some of
you used? Any suggestions regarding sources for plumbing, etc. so I
could also install one to extinguish a fire in the cowl?

I'm looking at the installation instructions for the static air system. The Static
Air kit.doc and it looks like this is installed on the bulkhead just aft of
the baggage compartment bulkhead. However after looking at some installs on
other builders web sites it appears to the on the bulkhead near the seat beat
anchor, just below the anchors for the static ports.
Is the correct bulkhead the one nearest the seatbelt anchors? It looks like the
document clearly has it on the one forward of that bulkhead.
Thanks,

Karie,
Have a god look at the aft fuselage drawings. The static ports are further
aft of the baggage bulkhead, near the shoulder harness anchor points as you
suspect.
Confusion exists because the RV6 has one less fuselage bulkhead and so their
static ports are further forward.
The correct installation site is important because it needs to be an area of
static air pressure, neither decreased by lift or increased by areas of
compression. This is difficult to achieve within the prop blast (and
impossible on the wings) and has been found by lots of experimentation at
Vans.

And your wondering what the hell a "the seat beat anchor" is. It's the same
thing as a "seatbelt anchor" except you type it like that after spending way
too much time in the garge for one day. For crying out loud!
Thanks for the replies, I'll give Vans a quick call in the morning to make
sure I'm putting this in the correct place.
