Hi Paul,
I just left about 14 inches extra at the wing route and finished the bends,
flared the end and installed the fittings when we hung the wings. At that point
you know exactly where you want to go. If the wings are going to be stored
for a while be sure to put a red warning flag on the end so a careless visitor
doesn't wlak into it.

| Subject: | Spruce ACS control cables. |
--> RV9-List message posted by: "Bryan Flood" <bryanflood@hotmail.com>
I saw a post here a few days ago about spruces' control cables supplied by
ACS and went to the hanger to measure the one I had ordered a few months
back and recieved about 3 weeks ago. It did not fit the RV Kit. All the
dimensions I supplied to spruce were correct but another dimension (the
distance from the second bulkhead fitting to the end) was not the correct
length for the RV. This was not a dimension that I supplied or Spruce
required. Also missing was the plastic coating that the Van's cables from
ACS have. Turns out that Van's orders a double Custom cable when only a
single custom and stanard cables were available from spruce (or somehting
like that). So anyway to make a long story short I paid $88 for the wrong
cable, Spruce refunded $44 and now I have to pay $139 for the right cable
(Which minus the refund is $95, more than I paid for the original cable!)
I'm not convinced Spruce knows exactly what is going on either, so I would
caution everyone to get all of the relevant dimensions for their control
cables before ordering custom cables from Spruce. I do have to say however
ACS does make some nice looking cables, just be really carefull when
ordering from Spruce so you don't end up paying a bunch extra and have to
wait for Custom cables to be made.

Great timing for this question. I just test fitted my Dynon pitot tube
last night and posted some pictures. You can see what I did at the
bottom of the wing section of my web site.

I am completing my left wing (RV-7) and getting ready to install the
pitot tubing. The plans are a bit unclear in this area. I know the
tubing passes through the snap bushing to the wing root, however how
have most of you terminated the tubing. Did you leave a short length
(at the root), flare it and bend it 90 degrees. Did you install a 90
degree bulkhead fitting in the root rib? If so what was your procedure
for flaring the end?
Any help would be appreciated.
Paul

--> RV9-List message posted by: Gerry Filby <gerf@gerf.com>
Folks
I used T-88 expoxy between the skins and AEX wedge of the
trailing edges of the elevators, rudder and ailersons with good
results - very straight and even.
Today I completed the right flap and realized that I had a
thicker layer of epoxy between each skin and the AEX wedge.
Consequently the very edge of the trailing edge is a little
thicker than my previous efforts - I would say its 2.5 mm at
worst and generally 2mm along the span. My other effots were
about 1.5 mm.
I've trawled the lists and the Net but haven't found anything
definitive - is it a bad think to have that thick a trailing
edge ? I see some notes that you want a "knife edge" if you
can get it.
