Where did you get the switch? Mine is from B&C specialties. It came with a diagram.
You can check yours with an Ohmmeter to be sure. You should put a few drops of
oil in it and blow on the switch to check it. Mine gave funny readings till
it was oiled.
If you want, I can look up the connection lettering on mine, but it might be different
from yours.

You've got 3 terminals on it. Which ones do I use for the Hobbs, and which for
an oil pressure warning light.. and is the other to ground? No markings on it
and no diagram either. I suppose at 4 psi I'll get a circuit on one terminal,
and not on another?

Roy,
You most likely have a SPDT switch. One terminal is common, one is normally
closed, one normally open. You will wan to connect the Hobbs to the
normally open circuit. When engine oil pressure increases, this circuit
will close allowing the Hobbs to run.
You can tell which is normally closed with the ohm meter. Which is common
is a little tricky. Usually the common is marked or is different in some
way from the other two.
Hope this helps.

A few weeks back I saw a few messages about an RV gathering at SnF in
Lakeland, is it still on? I checked the SnF site and nothing shows. I just
started a partially completed kit RV9 I picked up last month.. I'm in Ocala
and would like to know its on before a 2 hr. drive.

Can anyone with past experience elaborate on the process of moving your completed
plane to a paint shop. I can't imagine dropping off this delicate bird at a
body shop and simply picking it up in a week or two. I've heard of some guys
making a device that rotates the wings so the paint can be easily applied to both
sides. And what about transporting do we simply tie down the wing storage
rack in the back of the old pickup? Is this a concern to anyone else? Attempting
to buy and fire up an HVLP spray system in the garage on my own is beginning
to sound real tempting. Over the past two years I have picked up on many of
your inputs on painting yourself (Gary Newstead and others) but for those of us
who would rather turn this task over to an experienced painter I'd like some
thoughts.

Hi Steve, A large flat-bed truck is the way to go as far as moving the
fuselage. This assumes you've removed the wings, main and tail, and
vertical stabilizer. You'll need an oversized load permit if you don't
remove the empennage. Anyway you go, there's a risk of scratching the
paint job. I've painted my empennage and have already banged into it in
the garage. My painting is being done in a boat-shed at my home. I just
cover the floors, walls, and ceiling with tarps stapled to the walls. Keep
in mind its an airplane, not a show car. Even perfect paint won't look so
perfect for long once you start flying and exposing it to the elements.
Some may feel differently, but I don't place the high value on airplane
painting that I do on a car. In fact, I would paint outdoors if it
weren't for the four foot snowdrifts... Some airports allow you to paint
in the hangars, but be sure you are well sealed off from other peoples
planes. There are also paint methods that don't create the airborne mess
of spraying, and some paints which are far less toxic. Shop around.
Finally, don't overlook "real" aircraft painting shops. Most reasonbly
sized airports will have at least one painter on the field. Flying the
bird there and away when done is nice. Particularly since it can be
painted while fully assembled, thus avoiding the chances of banging into
stuff.
Good luck, Gary Newsted
