| Subject: | A quick question... |
--> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: Rad Z <microsmurfer@yahoo.com>
Hey folks,
a quick question that I'd need help with:
-- Soft Al tube for pitot system.
It came rolled into a bundle. Can I straighten it by
hand.. or do I use some kind of a tool?
Bending it (near the bellcrank) -- use a tube bender,
or just bend it by hand...
Also, anyone using 3/32" pop rivets from Van's... I
tried a few, and pretty much on all of them, the stem
gets completely pulled out by the rivet puller.. That
leaves a small hole in the middle of the rivet. The
stem doesn't break off like on larger rivets I used so
far. Is this normal? I guess it can be filled with
filler later...
Thanks!
Radomir

I was able to bend the soft by hand. Harder had to use a tube bender.

Hi Radomir,
I would use a tubing straighter. They come in different sizes but are rally
very similar to a closely coiled spring 6 -8 inches long. Slip the right
size around the tubing and straighten. For small or close bend you will
need a more complex tool. See Spruce.
It would depend on where the pop-rivet was. Most places you probably don't
need to fill. Yes it is normal for a hole to remain.
Later,
Steve Glasgow

Just straighten by hand. I used nyloseal tubing instead. You might need
to use a bender near the bellcrank to avoid kinking it.
I've only used the 3/32 countersunk blind rivets on nutplates -- yes, the
stem always pulls out.

If you are coming from the north, towards Greensboro, go south on 220 to
Summerfield. At the first stop light turn left (east). Go one half mile, I am
on
the right. The address is 2237 Scalesville Rd., Summerfield, NC. It is a
brick house, in the middle of a field with black board fences.
Coming from the south, come north out of Greensboro on 220 (Battleground Ave
in the city),
approximately 5 miles out of GSO you will come to the community of
Summerfield. Pass through first light, CCB & a Food Lion, and turn right at the
second
light on Scalesville Road. I am 1/2 mile on the right.
MEYLOR FIELD IDENTIFIER 9NC9
Hope to see you all Sunday! Dean

The latest on why I can't cycle my prop...
I've verified that the prop governor and the prop itself are working
perfectly. So, after running the serial numbers of the engine case past
Lycoming, it's been learned that it used to be used on a O-360-A4. This
uses a solid crank, and has a drain hole of some sort near the front of the
crank. If this drain hole was left open during assembly and a hollow
crank/CS prop were used, the pressure intended for the prop would be lost
through this drain hole, back into the case. That is the current theory to
explain why I can't cycle my prop. The only way to verify this theory and
fix the issue is to REMOVE THE !@#$@! ENGINE FROM THE @#$##%$ PLANE AND
TOTALLY @#$@#$ TEAR IT DOWN!! After spending months working on the FWF
portion of this project, and the FAA being ready to deem the plane airworthy
if I could just cycle the prop.... The whole situation is just about making
my physically ill. I cannot freaking believe it. Uhhhg!!!!!!!
