(cary rhodes) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 09:19:27 AM PST US From: Hopperdhh@AOL.com Subject: RV7-List: Clay for fiberglass work --> RV7-List message posted by: Hopperdhh@aol.com Listers, I went to Sam James' forum on RV Fiberglass at OSH, and would like to know where to order some of the Suncoast Resins "clear clay" that he recommended. A search on the internet didn't help much. Yes, I know I can use all kinds of other things -- just looking for the "clear clay." Thanks, Dan Hopper RV-7A (Flying -- 33 hours now) What a plane! Just need to do those gear leg to fuselage fairings now. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:33:26 AM PST US From: "Dan Checkoway" Subject: Re: RV7-List: Clay for fiberglass work --> RV7-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" Just call Suncoast in Florida if you want to order from them. Otherwise, you can get modelers clay at Michael's or any crafts store. That's what I did, because shipping a ton of clay from Florida was gonna cost an arm and a leg. It's just clay... )_( Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: Subject: RV7-List: Clay for fiberglass work > --> RV7-List message posted by: Hopperdhh@aol.com > > Listers, > > I went to Sam James' forum on RV Fiberglass at OSH, and would like to know > where to order some of the Suncoast Resins "clear clay" that he recommended.

I'd like to have music, but I'd also must be safe.. Thanks That is exactly how mine works, but the volume does not get as loud as I'd like since it does not run through an amplifier. -Mike Kraus N223RV RV-4 Flying N213RV RV-10 Empennage complete, working on Tailcone ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 04:28:37 PM PST US From: "Dan Checkoway" Subject: Re: RV7-List: MP3 Player setup? --> RV7-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" If you have a GMA-340 audio panel, there's a pin on the audio connector that you can jump to ground in order to gain a 20db boost. I have this function switched on my panel (I always leave the boost on...makes you go faster). It makes all the difference in the world having the level boosted like that. If you don't have a GMA-340 or your audio panel doesn't support an internal level boost of some sort, you can buy boosters such as: http://www.boostaroo.com/ Best of luck, )_( Dan RV-7 N714D http://www.rvproject.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "McFarland, Randy" Subject: RE: RV7-List: MP3 Player setup? > --> RV7-List message posted by: "McFarland, Randy" > > How do those of you with CD's or MP3's amplify the output to get more > volume? > Randy > 7A > > -----Original Message----- > From: N223RV@AOL.com [mailto:N223RV@AOL.com] > To: rv7-list@matronics.com > Subject: Re: RV7-List: MP3 Player setup? > > > --> RV7-List message posted by: N223RV@aol.com > > > In a message dated 8/2/2004 2:32:06 AM Eastern Standard Time, > Tramsootru@direcway.com writes: > > Hey Guys- > > I am considering buying a portable (I-River) type MP3 player so I will be > able to listen to some music while flying, my question is this, with the > FlightCom 403 intercom setup, can I simply find the "music in" jack, plug > in > the MP3 player and the intercom will mute or attenuate the music when there > is traffic on the radio?

This output level is probably accurate, given the supply voltage. Any music source running off the plane's 12 V battery should be capable of at least that output level. Have you successfully used a boostaroo in an a/c intercom system? FWIW, Bob Nuckolls on the Aeroelectric list has a design that will supply adequate 20 db of gain & max output of around 4 volts rms (if you are willing to solder it up yourself).
