--> RV9-List message posted by: "Noel & Yoshie Simmons" <noel@blueskyaviation.net>
It appears that these FAA regs alone are not enough. My FAA representative
and our FAA DAR (who is a homebuilder, too!) has told me that it is not
sufficient to follow all the rules; instead, an FAA rep or DAR needs to
positively approve it. If the instrument avionics are not TSO'ed or
equivalent, then they will not sign off on it. Period. Without the FAA
positive approval, even if you do not violate any FAA regs, you cannot fly
IFR.
I think the FAA inspectors/DAR do not want to risk their jobs, and there is
no specific instruction to them that non TSO'ed instruments are ok in
experimentals, so they just refuse. If you can find one FAA inspector/DAR
who is willing to sign off e.g., a bluemountainavionics EFIS for IFR use,
then please let me know.
Sincerely,
Noel Simmons

Stein/ Andy / Leland - thanks for the oil door /glove box replies. I will
probably go the standard route on the oil door, but not the glove box.
Steve.

Joe,
Sorry to hear about your spar not fitting. So those of us who are behind you
in the building process don't run into the same problem, I'm hoping you or
someone else can answer some questions.
1. With all the pre-punched holes in the F-904 assembly, how could the spar
not fit?
2. Does Van's recommend making the spacers just a few thousandths wider than
the spar so you can easily slide the spar between the two halves of the
F-904?
3. Which rivets will you have to drill out to correct the problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Actually I followed the instructions They call for a one and 7/16" block
where the spar fits.Measiuring my spar widt it is actually about 3
thousand wider then 1 and 7/16". Which really is the builders problem I
should have checked the width. I buil an RV6A prior to this and did not
give it a thought because spar width was not a problem. We'll I drilled
out a couple dozen rivetsand spread it to the poper width plus a couple
thouants every thing seems to be working out ok. I wouldn't wory to much
about this Just dont forget to measure 4 times and cut once. Good luck.
PS check your helpers work.
Joe RV6A Back on track.

| Subject: | Trim Tab Lower Bend |
--> RV9-List message posted by: "Douglas A. Fischer" <dfischer@iserv.net>
The plans (and the parts) show a need for bending the forward edge of the lower
tab skin for downward travel clearance. Any suggestions for making a nice straight
bend line across the width of the tab?

--> RV9-List message posted by: "Douglas A. Fischer" <dfischer@iserv.net>
I am looking for additional info on this string of messages. I am working on
the Emp (VS, HS, Rudder done) and have also been using the AFS Primer/ Sealer
but all this talk of non-water-based exterior paint not being compatable with
the AFS stuff makes me nervous. I am planning solvent-based exterior due to
ability to sand, repair, etc., but I have very little (read: none) painting experience.
If the exterior primer eats through AFS Sealer, I am wondering if I
need to switch to an epoxy primer and trash-can the AFS. My concern is that
using laquer thinner or MEK to remove all that exposed Sealer may seep through
and ruin the sealer inside the structure. I guess I have a choice ahead - Stick
with AFS and avoid spraying Sealer on areas that will eventually get exterior
exposure and removing the Sealer from exterior areas I've already done, or
switch to epoxy (or whatever primer that is compatable with non-water-based
exterior) and stop using AFS altogether.
Any suggestions / experiences out there? Thanks in advance for any info!
