    Subject: Re: RV8- Parking Brake Valve
    From: japhillipsga@aol.com
    RV-8 & 8A builders, has anyone modified the brake system to include a parking brake valve? I put one in my 601XL and would not have a plane without one. Problem with the 8 I'm building is right where the valve should be logically is split by the forward baggage compartment floor. Anybody affixed it somewhere else ? Also, Van's is selling a parking valve. Looks to be the same one Spruce lists at $ 109.00, somewhat less than Van.

    Subject: Safety-Trim servo controller
    Fellow RV Builders, This is a cross posted message to make you aware of an important new product for our RV's. I'm an RV-10 Builder and normally post on that email list, however this product applies to all RVs. TCW Technologies has introduced a series of new electronic servo controllers specifically designed for the Ray Allen series of trim servos used in our RV aircraft. This new series of controllers is called Safety-Trim and provides many features not previously available. Safety-Trim prevents trim run-away conditions by providing a time limited servo operation with each activation of a trim switch. Safety-Trim additionally provides speed control and simplified trim switch wiring. Safety-Trim works on both 12 and 24 volt systems and is short circuit and reverse polarity protected. Additionally, models are available that provide 2 speed preset operation of the trim system. Allowing fast responding trim at slow airspeeds and slow responding trim at cruise airspeeds. To learn all about this innovative new product please visit www.tcwtech.com Thank you, Bob Newman RV-10 40176 TCW Technologies rnewman@tcwtech.com

    We made a brace to mount on the bottom of the baggage floor and attach to the same bulkheads and braces as the floor. We did this after the fact. (everything already installed) Worked well only we had to change the lengths of the brake lines because there connection points moved several inches.

    Bob, I'm all for free enterprise, but it sounds like you're hawking a product that competes with a Matronics product. Is that acccurate? And, if so, isn't it ... uh ... a bit presumptuous to post this announcement on the Matronics bulletin board? Just asking, that's all ... -- Don McNamara N8RV ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob-tcw To: rv8-list@matronics.com Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 1:23 PM Subject: RV8-List: Safety-Trim servo controller Fellow RV Builders, This is a cross posted message to make you aware of an important new product for our RV's.

    Don, I don't believe I'm being presumptuous. Although, Safety-Trim and the Matronics Governor both control trim servo's I believe there are significant differences between the two products and fellow RV builders have been quite interested in our new product. Safety-trim offers 2 speed adjustable preset control of up to two servos as well as run-away trim protection. I hope you and other builders will take a look at the products we have to offer. Respectfully, Bob Newman www.tcwtech.com
