    --> RV9-List message posted by: "DellAngelo, Scott" <SDellAngelo@usg.com> I thought it went more like "Aircraft restricted to day VFR unless equipped in accordance with FAR 91.205". If your plane has the criteria of 91.205 then you're ok. Likewise with night VFR. If you meet the criteria then you are legal. Nothing in 91.205 says anything about TSO's being required.

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.

    --> RV9-List message posted by: "fcs@jlc.net" <fcs@jlc.net> You should take this up in the Blue Mountain newsgroup. There is already a thread there for this topic, and that's where the solution will come from. I am flying a BMA EFIS too and had similar questions. But I do not intend to fly my plane IFR. I only equipped it for IFR as a safety precaution. RV's are not appropriate airframes for "serious" IFR. Anyone saying otherwise has never flown "serious" IFR in them. An occasional IFR climb to clear destination is a much different story.

    --> RV9-List message posted by: Sargentclt@cs.com DOUG, FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH I AM USING NAPA PRIMER #15210 IT IS ARMY GREEN AND CAN BE SANDED OR SCUFFED FOR TOP COATING. IT IS ALSO SELF ETCHING. ANY AREAS THAT MAY BLEED OVER ON TO THE TOP SURFACE MUST BE SCUFF SANDED FOR ADHESHION. TALK TO A PAINT SPECIALIST. YOU SHOULD USE EPOXY WITH EPOXY AND EURATHANE WITH THE LIKE. CALL AIRCRAFT SPRUCE FOR PAINT HELP OR VALSPAR ON VANS WEBSITE FOR SPECIFICS. I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF WATER BASED PAINTS. I ONLY USE SOLVENT BASED. HOPE THIS HELPS TAD 7A "Douglas A.

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?
