Question:
Does anyone have experience with Softcomm intercoms especially with the
ATC-2P panel mounted 2 place intercom?

This is shaping up to be nearly as good as what is a good primer - I can't believe
I just said that!!!
The following appeared tonight in the list
> Sorry, I don't understand what flying time has to do with anything! A Hobb's
meter is used for engine run time for proper service intervals.
and
>I beg to differ! On all of the aircraft I've owned, to include my RV, the tachometer
has a clock. My Hobbs is for my flight time only. If you have a tach
that has no clock, then you can use it for both functions. I've never seen
an A&P use my Hobbs for engine time. It's always the tach time.

Jim this appears to be a very widespread misuse of the Hobbs timers. Aircraft
$pruce, Hobbs themselves and nearly all the folks I know and fly with use the
common practice of switching their Hobbs meters with an oil pressure switch.
I'm sure you are a far more experienced pilot than I but almost all the assorted
Cessnas and Pipers I've flown had oil pressure switched Hobbs timers as have
the war birds and all the experimentals bar one.
Using 'the other side' of the oil pressure switch does seem to be a very simple
way to ensure accurate engine time.
This is most certainly not intended as a flame merely as some additional input.
Fly safe

What lead time? Van's says my QB RV9a wings and body have shipped. I placed my
order
for these items and the empennage kit in January. The tail kit shipped immediately
and the paper that came with it indicated the rest would be delivered in September.
As I had feared, a little longer than the 5-7 months quoted on Van's website. I
was
disappointed but got used to the notion of having lots of time to tool up, build
the
empennage, go to Oshkosh, and make the many decisions required for the final phases.
.. Then came the call a couple of weeks ago .. "Some quickbuilds are available
now do
you want one?" Was saying yes the right thing to do?
Could I leave the fuselage in the box or is there a strong reason to get it out
on
arrival? I will be working in a small two car garage. Most of the tools (air
compressor, etc.) have been delivered but not set-up. Also, there are competing
uses
for the space (kitchen rebuild project wants to store tools and supplies and needs
to
do some work in the area) I am tempted to leave the parts outside in the crates
(under plastic tarps as it will rain here in northern California) for a couple
of
months.

I have a mobile business and a hobbs is connected to the generator, to let
me know how many hours it has run to schedule the maintenance by. The
"clock" on the tach was before the wonders of the Hobbs meter, the tach is
"timed" to be accurate at a specific RPM, it the engine is oparated faster
or slower than the target RPM, it runs faster or slower. When I rented from
a FBO, if the Hobbs in inop, we multiplied the tach time by 1.2 to pay for
the aircraft.
