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.

| Subject: | Mounting Nose Wheel Tire & Tube |
--> RV9-List message posted by: "Joe & Jan Connell" <jconnell@rconnect.com>
I mounted the tires and tubes this weekend and had read of
the difficulty in getting the nose wheel tire mounted without
pinching the tube. Here is what worked for me after a few tries:
1 - Apply talc liberally inside the wheel to prevent chafing.
2 - Insert tube in tire and inflate with a little air.
3 - Remove valve stem from tube and allow to deflate.
4 - Position 4 - 5 "Quick Grip" bar clamps around wheel
to slowly squeeze the tire beads together. (The clamps are
the pistol grip type you find at Home Depot and else where.)
Don't get the clamp too close to the bead or it will interfere
with the hub.
5 - As the sides are being squeezed together, push the tube
inside. Use something like a popsicle stick to push the tub
inside as the sides approach each other. Continue squeezing
until the side make contact and hold the tube inside the tire.
6 - Place the tire/tube assembly on the hub half that has the hole for
valve stem. Put the cap on the stem to keep it from slipping out.
(This half of the hub has the "female" grove to receive the other
half.)
7 - Add the other half of the hub, insert the bolts and washers and
tighten the nuts finger tight.
8 - Use a dental mirror and a flashlight to insure the tube has not
gotten between the hub halves. (It shouldn't because the clamps
have kept the tube inside the bead area.)
9 - Torque the bolts to the proper value and remove the clamps.
10 - Add vale stem and inflate.
I can send a few pictures if desired...
