I've bought Dupli-Color self-etching primer at Pep Boys. It works very
well, but give it time to cure after spraying. It's still soft, even when
it's tack-free. Over-night cure seems to allow it to toughen up and bond
well.

Fellow Homebuilders,
I have decided to go with a two-axis auto pilot in my RV-4 project
and am selling my single-axis Navid AP-1. This is a brand new unit
with all of accessories, manual, analog Loran/GPS input, and S-2
servo. It has never been installed. No scratches.
Current price from Navaid is $1300 US. I will sell for $1100 plus
shipping to anywhere in the world. I can accept Visa/MC. First
come, first served.
Please email me off list at dralle@matronics.com if you are
interested. Below is a picture of the actual unit and included accessories.

I'm currently wiring my panel (601 XL), and temporarily
connected my elevator trim switch and indicator to the servo to check
operation before making final connections. I tested with a 9 volt radio
battery as suggested in the instructions. The results were different
than expected. I wired the servo leads so that pushing the top of the
rocker will raise the nose by lowering the trim tab. This results in the
indicator needle dropping below center. The indicator is showing the
position of the tab rather than the resultant position of the elevator.
This seems backwards to me. What is correct?

I had the same thing when I tried it. I just turned the indicator
upside down.

| Subject: | Help With Air Compressor Selection |
I have purchased a few air tools to get started on my kit: The Harbor Freight
rivet puller; A Chicago Pneumatic Mini Air Drill (model 7300RQC); A Chicago Pneumatic
874 3" Air Cutoff Tool.
I need help in selecting an air compressor that will adequately run these tools...
I guess that the parameters are xxx CFM at yyy PSI. I am aware that a small
compressor may work fine, but cycle frequently. Larger ones are costly and
could trip a 15A breaker. What is a good compromise? What are you using?
Thanks in advance!
Mike

Gig, that is a preliminary report. If you are looking for consolation for NTSB's
anemic reports you are looking in the wrong place. how useless are their final
reports? well judge for yourself, here is the final report of an RV4 accident.
http://www.fomento.es/NR/rdonlyres/0829B046-4C00-4D3E-B378-40F06DA29314/32986/2007_045_A1.pdf
It does have a conclusion and unlike NTSB reports, give readers enough info and
pictures to judge by themselves.
Lets hope they produce reports like that for light sport aircraft accidents as
well.

Well it is good to know that Spain's version of the NTSB can produce as useless
a document as our NTSB.

The rivet puller, being an intermittent load, doesn't need a very big
compressor. I used a small portable compressor with an extra five
gallon tank. I could pull about a hundred rivets with the five gallon
air tank before I would need to refill it. The rivet puller was the
only air tool I used with this setup.
The cutoff tool and air drill are considered continuous loads.
Ideally, you should use a compressor that can deliver a continuous
supply of air to whichever tool has the largest demand. If the
compressor can't deliver more air than the tool uses you will have to
stop what you're doing and let the compressor catch up. Your best bet
would be a 240V compressor, it will use half the current of a 120V
unit with the same rating. If you can't get a compressor that can keep
up with the tool, get one with a large tank or get an extra tank you
can hook up to it. That will give you a longer run time before you
have to stop and recharge.
