Subject: | Re: RE: Taildragger |
Careful Carlos, taildraggers are addictive. I did my
Rec Permit in a Citabria 7ECA. It just feels right.
The C-152s that the school runs most of the time are
kind of boring to fly after the Citabria.
Unfortunately for you, I did/am doing my training at
Harv's Air in Steinbach, MB (Canada) which is about 25
miles SE of Winnipeg. That's a little far away from
Montreal. They have a total of four taildraggers for
training but only the two Citabrias are commonly used.
The other two are a Pitts and a Taylorcraft.
They do have on base living and rental houses in town
if you were interested in spending a week or two of
vacation time getting a tailwheel checkout. If you
are interested in more information, the website is
www.harvsair.com.
It's not a simple option for TD time but it is an
option.

For the curved lenses in wingtips, as others have said, Lexan seems to be
the way to go. We used it successfully, with a thickness of 1/32 inch.
Lexan is one trade name for polycarbonate. One drawback of Lexan is that
it clouds/discolours with almost any solvent. Acrylic (aka lucite,
perspex) plastic is more solvent-resistent. If you preheat it (somewhat
above the boiling point of water - the judicious use of a heat gun can be
satisfactory for relatively small pieces), it will bend and take a
permanent set into a curved shape. However, you don't need heat with
Lexan. One good tip: both Lexan and acrylic can be polished and
protected very nicely with Nu Finish car wax in an orange plastic bottle,
sold in Canada in Canadian Tire stores for about $9. It is much cheaper
(and much better, in my opinion) than Mirror Glaze and other aviation
waxes which I tried before someone put me onto Nu Finish. It does not
discolour or cloud Lexan or acrylic, even after several years of use.

Greetings:
I'm reading your messages about personal preferences, rules and regs, etc.
when it comes to the use of landing lights. Nobody has mentioned safety!
When I learned to fly in the Seattle area back in the 60's, my instructor's
insistence was that I was to always use landing lights in the congested
areas. In fact it is good idea to use every light on your aircraft! The
human eye has a faster response to bright lights -- a fact proven by law
enforcement, ambulance services, etc... I've found that tower operators
prefer "lights-on" during landing/take-offs operations. I even use landing
lights at non-towered a field -- who knows it may have saved my life a time
or two. I know that many pilots never use landing lights during the day --
so I hope that this blip will influence your decisions on installing and
operation of landing lights!

Subject: | control cable question |
I am currently making the control cables for my 601xl,
and the drgs call for the turnbuckles for the elevator
cables to be attached to the stick. During contruction
this is almost doable if installed before the armrests
get rivetted. Afterwards, it is virtually impossible
to get to let alone safety wire if it needs
adjustment. My question is: is it OK to attach a
shackle and a short length of cable (enough to reach
the access panel in the fuselage), and put the
turnbuckle where it can be easily accessed half way
down the fuse?

That's exactly what I did. I figured the lengths necessary to put the
turnbuckles in close proximity to the access hatch, then threaded the
wires, made the loops (don't forget the thimbles), swedged them
critters, and attached turnbuckles. I don't think it makes any
difference where they are, as long as you have them, to set cable
tension. Why ZAC puts the turnbuckles there is beyond me, unless they
intend for you to rivet the armrest way later.

I made my lenses out of plexi. I put them in the oven and tested a piece to
see what temp worked best. When you find the proper temp you have to place the
plxi on something smooth because it will be soft and will pick up any
impression it is laying on. The best way to shape it is to make a piece of 0.25
the
same as the leading edge then use it to form the plexi around. the plexi
will almost be like taffy and won't be hard to form. You will need to make it
oversized because the gloves you are wearing WILL leave an impression in the
plexi. Let it cool and you are done. Don't try and cool it with water just let
it cool slowly and you will have a nice lens. The ones I made were for the
Vans RV-7 and they are still looking good to this day.
Hope this helps

With the dual stick option, you there are two armrest cover plates. I, also, hinged
the rear one; and fastened both converplates with nutplates. I kept the
upper turnbuckle within the armrest, but placed the other one at the upper elevator
control horn. I am fastening the fiberglass "saddle" with nutplates so
I can access the turnbuckle.
I also found that I could not install the horizontal stab. with the rearmost upper
skin (with a carefully coped cutout) in place. I cut off the upper skin to
within about 40mm of the rear bulkhead and made a .016 fairing to close the
gap between the upper skin and the saddle. It too, will be fastened with nutplates.

Interesting. I did some additional searches, and found several msgs on the

This one is from the RV10 list:
*Message: **#7801**Subject: **WIG-WAG

<nevilleboyle(at)bencomm.com.au>*
*If you are prepared to potentially sacrifice some bulb light it is possible
to WIG-WAG the HID Xenon globes.You need to be aware that the globes have a
warm up time while the gas is ionising and they need to warm fully to burn
the deposit left while warming up off the glass (this means the flash rate
needs to be longer than 3 seconds per side) The second problem is that most
of the commercial flash units rely on a low impedance through the filament
of the traditional globe that does not exist with the xenon
alternative.Onmy plane I increased the capacitor size to slow the
flash rate and provided
a additional earth in stead of the traditional path through the globe
filament Neville Boyle VH-NVL 33 hours *
So apparently it can be done, but there may me trade-offs.
