--> RV8-List message posted by: Mickey Coggins <mick-matronics@rv8.ch>
Hi,
Looking at the baggage door again. I'm considering
the "hidden hinge" method I've seen a few builders use.
Anyone have any hints or tips? My concern about the
normal piano hinge is that it looks like it will
leak. Also, how do you get the hinge pin in and
out of there?
What kind of lock are people using on the baggage door?
Thanks,
Mickey

Hello Mick. I don't know about the hidden hinge method. I went with the
plans. The one I've seen was put on a door that was re-done in fiberglass.
I read about one fellow who tried but failed, see:
http://home.comcast.net/~jwdweb2/Finish7/finish7.html There's still some
good info in there, I thought.
I just went through the firewall into the hinge with the pin. Works ok. The
lock I used comes in the mag switch / lock set that Van's sell's. see:

I was on your web site last night, what com antenna are you using? Is there
separation criteria for the com and transponder antenna? Also, what the
third party gizmo you mention with your Ipod hook up. Thanks, Best of luck.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the hints on the baggage door. I'll
check it out.

I had seen that, but it's about 80 bucks, and I don't need
a mag switch. Hopefully I can come up with something a
bit cheaper!

I think the antenna is a COMANT CI-122 from Steinair or Van's, but I'll
have to check. It's either that or a "clone". Bob Nuckolls says
there's no problem having the comm antenna and the transponder
antenna close together, so I have mine about 2 feet apart.
About the ipod, I don't have it hooked up in the aircraft, just in
the workshop. It's just a simple CompUSA/Fry's/Best Buy type ipod
mini AC adapter. I think it was about 1/2 the price of the Apple
one, and I've recently seen them even cheaper. There are only
two wires going to the big ipod connector, and I'll bet if I
cut them and apply 12v it will work.
