After several humbling enlightenments, I have learned that Vans knows their stuff and they have worked with the instructions and our questions enough that they know what they are saying.

Take a humble attitude with Vans and I think you will great cooperation and help. If you are missing something, they can help you but when you need it, you need it. When it is all done and you are flying as I and my wife did today to visit your son, you will nearly forget all those days when you learned something new. )))))))))))))))) > >> > >> > >> Can anyone out there tell me where this info is located?

You might look in the manual where it instructs you to mount the elevators on the horizontal stabilizer. The min and max angles are there somewhere.

    Subject: cabin heat for RV 7a
    --> RV7-List message posted by: "Don Patterson" <dpatterson14@wi.rr.com> I understand that some RV builders have been installing the cabin heat system that is offered from Glasair. The system has a rotary valve that can direct heat to both pilot and passenger and windshield defrost. I was wondering if any one had any knowledge of this unit and how well it works. Wisconsin gets real cold in winter. Thanks Don
