Hi guys
I haven't contributed to the list before, but have been monitoring it
intermittently for a while now. Some useful info certainly changes hands
here! Unfortunately I don't access it very often however, and then
usually wade through a number of the digest versions.
Regarding the turn-coordinator noise issue, I've been using a Falcon T/C
instrument together with an Icom A200 for about 100 hours now, with no
noise problems, so I am not sure there is a fundamental problem either
with the instrument or compatibility between the two. Both the T/C and
A200 were purchased new about 3 years ago. Just one question: are those
who are experiencing problems using the integral A200 intercom facility,
or a separate intercom unit? I am using a separate voice-activated
Flightcom 403mc intercom in my set-up. The A200's squelch seems to keep
everything totally silent in my headset except when receiving /
transmitting, so if there is an interference problem I'm not hearing it.
Actually, even with the squelch "opened", it seems quiet. For interest,
my A200 is mounted under the panel, directly below and only about an
inch away from the T/C! I have also not wired the T/C through the same
circuit as the radio - it is powered up via the master, through it's own
fuse, while the radio is on its own fused avionics circuit together with
the GPS power. This may be relevant since it is common for the T/C and
radios to be on the same (avionics) circuit. Possibly that is something
to look at?

Anyone here running an IVO ground
adjustable prop?
601HD, having trouble getting faster
than 110 mph. Any ideas?
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I am running the Ivo prop on my 801, In fact I have tried two models. I started
with the three blade 84" Magnum paddle series with in flight adjustment. That
turned out to be a little on the large size and would limit my takeoff rpm to
3500, next I turned it into a two blade 84" and picked up 400 rpm. The three
blade was SOOOO much smoother I then had them send me the regular magnum series
blades. That let me rev up to 4300 and wow did that thing accelerate on the
takeoff roll. The problem was the paddle series blades have a nice stainless steel
leading edge protector and the regular ones just have a foil tape. My plane
has so much power that it sucks up rocks and crap and the regular blades are
too fragile so I sent back my paddle blades and had them cut down to 78". Now
I get 4150 on takeoff, and leading edge protection.
Since the 801 is so darn dirty aero ways top cruise is about what ZAC suggests.
It would take several solid rocket boosters off the space shuttle to get this
thing over 130 mph, and thats with it pointed downhill.. Ha Ha. One thing I
have heard from several other people is that Ivo props are not known for max terminal
velosity. The blade profile is what I think limits it from being faster
then the competitors. It is a great all around prop though.

Many of you caught the fact that my empty weight was higher than the
flight weight in my last Email. Just a typo, not sure where my head was at
(in the clouds of course!). Empty weight is 640 w/o wheel pants and paint.
Was hoping for 600 but knew I wouldn't be anywhere close. My aircraft has
forward tilting canopy, two extra cylinders, dual strobes, nav and landing
lights, complete VFR panel, nose wheel, heat/def/fresh air vents, beefed up
center wing fairings, and many cans of trunk paint coating the inside.

Larry,
Yep, good info. I was considering building another
set of wings anyway, the paint on this thing is coming off,
and the seller included a set of wing tanks which need
to be fitted. I understand someone in Sun Valley, ID is
building a HDS, which is close to me in Rigby.
The engine is a rotax 912ul 80 hp, rocker covers are black.
I can make 5400 rpm max, might need less pitch too.
I am familiar with the ivo, I have a 2 blade on my
challenger II. We had one of the blades on it come out
of pitch, the adjuster cam on the inside end of the blade
broke. We blame that (unscientifically) for a crack which
developed in the crankcase.
Nice set of wheel pants.

Tim,
I believe you could get a nice set of wings from a gentleman in Indiana
named John Shirley.
He built a HDS and wishes to obtain a set of HD wings. He has an ad in
the Zenith Newsletter
that describes them. His phone number is 219-322-6935. Lives in Dyer,
IN 46311 (west edge of the state)
His wings include strobes, baggage locker left wing, 7-1/2 gal fuel tank
right wing, electric trim tab right wing
and were inspected by A&E and Technical Counselor. Workmanship is
excellent.
It may not be terribly close but the drive would be considerably less
effort than making another set.
Hope this helps,
Larry McFarland - 601HDS

Looking over the Front Spar on the stabilizer and noticed too many predrilled holes.
The holes in question are for the Double 6T2-2 . According to plans
and manual there should only be 3 predrilled holes in the spar for that part.
I have 5. From C/L lateral (either direction) I have 5 holes for 6T2-1 (which
is correct), another row of 5 holes (the ones in question), then 4 holes for
the rib (which is correct.) I have the updated plans and manual 2/05 and it
does not mention any changes to this area. Is it acceptable to just use all 5
holes for 6T2-2?
Thanks
Mike
