Vans answer was to send new horn stock and I fabricated a new piece. If anyone needs a horn stock with original holes let me know. ----- Original Message ----- From: Glenn Brasch Subject: RV9-List: Rudder 904 (bottom) Rib > --> RV9-List message posted by: "Glenn Brasch" > > I am waiting on an answer from Van's but thought I would check > here.

Would appreciate it if I could have them. I don't know when I will be batching another order to vans and I would rather not buy 100 from one of the other suppliers.

If you need any of the shorter rivets, I have plenty of them :-) .

Thanks Craig in Ogden, UT ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 05:43:36 PM PST US From: "Andy Karmy" Subject: Re: RV9-List: Jeff Rose Electroair Ignition --> RV9-List message posted by: "Andy Karmy" Interesting you ask... First off it works great, no problems thus far in 45 hours. Now the hard part, I have no idea how in the world you would justify / expierence the benifits of the thing. I know that's bad, but after reading all the glowing testimonials (that's why I bought it afterall) I installed it and it just works. I have the timing advance display on my EIS and yes you can see it modify the timing. It starts on the first or second blade every time cold or hot, idles nicely, accelerates great, runs nicely at cruise. Problem is I could have just been describing a great engine with 2 slic mags also (at least I think so). I do see a similar, but slightly less RPM drop when turning off the MAG vs the electronic ign, but not the zero RPM drop that others have reported over the years. I think turning off the Electroair gives about 20RPM more drop. So is it worth it? I don't really know, but my engine runs sweetly and I am happy about that every time I go flying! - Andy ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- >--> RV9-List message posted by: "Joosten, Craig" > >Andy, how do you like the Jeff Rose ignition? >Thanks >Craig in Ogden, UT ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 09:01:28 PM PST US From: "Ralph Cloud" Subject: RE: RV9-List: Rudder Rib Problem Resolved --> RV9-List message posted by: "Ralph Cloud" splain it to us > A very special thanks to John Clark who solved my problem. > Operator error again, not a problem with a Van's part.

The way I read the drawing (my helper too), was the assembly got cleckoed together spar/shim/horn/rib. My mistake was doing that instead of the flange of the rib between the spar and the horn.
