Was someone in the group saying they had some of the new hi-temp brake fluid in
quantity and willing to divvy it up among the rest of us?
I was fixin' to order a gallon of it otherwise; then I can be the one to share
:-)

Stormy, I have a gallon of the stuff and more than willing to share it as
there is more there than I would probably use in a flying life time {:>). If
we can arrange to meet at Goose Creek (28A) where I keep the stuff (bring
your own container) sometimes when you are flying (or driving as far as that
goes), I'll be more than happy to fill it up.

Some of you may have met Randy Lervold, fellow RV driver who did a lot
of prop testing for us. He has just extracted a little piece of
information out of Vans that I thought you might find interesting. This
is revolutionary for an RV owner.
There has been some confusion about Aerobatic gross weight on the RV-3
ever since the new B wings were introduced in 1998. I spoke with Van
himself twice this week on this issue, he in turn discussed with his
staff internally, and have now clarified it. Aerobatic gross weight for
the RV-3 (all models, all wings) is 1,050 lbs. (no confusion on this).
This figure however does NOT include fuel in WING tanks which is what
was not clear. Note that any fuel in a fuselage tank WOULD be included
in the Aerobatic gross.
Interestingly, he confirmed that this method applies to any RV model. As
an RV-8 builder/pilot I interpreted Van's W&B instructions to mean that
fuel WAS included in Aerobatic Category gross weight calculations as
well as Utility/Normal Category gross weight operation. In fact that is
erroneous -- as long as the fuel is in wing tanks it may be excluded
from the Aerobatic calculation and limit. Of course Van's points out
that weight has other deleterious effects on aerobatic handling and
encourages pilots to use good judgement when loading their aircraft for
aerobatics.

Frankly I don't know whether to smile at the added utility of my plane,
or shoot Vans for withholding this data. I think Ill just do both! A lot
of fun has been left on the table over the years.
Best,

please read the ENTIRE thread in the archives before running off and doing acro
at an extra 250 lbs wt. Kahuna seems to be ready to run off half-cocked here
and others are urging caution, which seems wise to me.
No old, bold pilots, right?

If Van didn't put it in writing, it's urban legend until proven otherwise, and
you're the test pilot.
