The complete RV9-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/RV9-List.FAQ.html Thank you, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator ****************************************************************************** RV9-List Usage Guidelines ****************************************************************************** The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the RV9-List. You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein. Failure to use the RV9-List in the manner described below may result in the removal of the subscribers from the List. RV9-List Policy Statement The purpose of the RV9-List is to provide a forum of discussion for things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established: - Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc. - THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it. - Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and responses. - Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address, aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary space in the archive. - DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the web page or FAQ first. - If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it easy to find threads in the archive. - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive can not be overstated! - When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your response to the original poster. You might have to actively address your response with the original poster's email address. - DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large. - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly contribute something valuable. - Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing. ------- [This is an automated posting.] ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:27:17 AM PST US From: Leland Subject: Re: RV9-List: Dynon probe installation with a 'closed' wing anyone. --> RV9-List message posted by: Leland Steve, take a look at http://www.rv8.ch/ which shows the Dynon probe being installed in a Gretz mount in a wing access panel.

Luckly there are a ton of guyts building RVs in my EAA chapter 326. Visiting their projects I learned of how on the fuel tanks the flush rivets would set proud. Especially on the line of the rear baffles. Anyway, I dimpled all of mine with the regular dimple dies, I didn't purchase the "Special Fuel Tank Dies". What I did do however was to test fit dry and then use my hand deburring tool (which is basically a countersink bit) and take out a little material until the rivets set a tad below the skin, dry! Most all of my rivets came out flush with the skin and the very few that were just a bit high I was able to take down even with just a little bit of sanding. The tanks came out really nice and believe me, I used a Bunch of ProSeal! This was my first time building fuel tanks also, So I was quite happy. You know it is always best to buy Good tools and the Right tools, but sometimes not every special tool is absolutely required.

Attached is a .pdf Acrobat file containing shots of my complete RV7 tool set I'm selling along with images of the original invoice from Avery Tools. Several items were added after the original purchase and are not reflected in the original invoice. These items are listed below: -Precision Instruments 1/4" Drive Dial-Type Torque Wrench with Memory, 0-75 lb.in (I discovered that the cheap torque wrench I had purchased was not accurate enough for aircraft construction. After twisting the head off a bolt that was spec'd for only 24 inch/lbs, I bought the best I could find. This lists for $199 online. -Adjustable Rivet Cutter -Quick change pins for the pneumatic squeezer (a great addition since you'll frequently change the yokes) -2nd cleco wrench -Boelube-tube These items roughly add up to an additional $250 over the invoice price shown below of $2,422. 2 items that show up on the original invoice are not included. These are a 24" metal ruler and the S/B cutting and polishing wheel. I believe I have used up 1 or 2 of the cobalt bits. These are about a buck apiece depending on the bit. All of the tools are in like new shape as I only used them on the tail kit for an RV7 with the drill bits and countersink bits like new. Avery tools are great quality. The pneumatic squeezer and 3 yokes with adjustable set holder are not included in the basic Avery Tools RV7 kit (good to know if you are trying to compare my price with Avery's current pricing). Also upgraded from the basic kit is the digital angle finder, heavy duty ball bearing microstop countersink cutter and metal micrometer. There may be others that I'm forgetting. I just checked their website and it looks like their prices have gone up since I purchased these. To replace everything today would likely top $3,000 for all the items I've listed here. I'd be willing to part with everything for $2,100 (the items I'm selling cost me $2,600 roughly). The buyer will need to pay for shipping of their choice. I will also require payment via cashier's check made out to my name. If I can answer any questions, please call me at 312.943.5529 ext:14 during the day or e-mail me at richard@taylorbruce.com. __________________________________ http://messenger.yahoo.com/
