| Subject: | Landing "handling" fee |
Anyone flying to Oshkosh this year or traveling thru the Davenport Quad
Cities area should be advised to consider the following item on
Davenport Airport (DVN)
Yesterday, a fellow RV-12 builder was going to fly into Davenport with
his RV-10. He called Carver Aero and inquired about the newly imposed
"landing fee" imposed at Davenport. He was informed that there would
not be "landing fee" or a "tie-down fee". BUT, there would be a $25
"handling fee" if fuel is not purchased. He was initially informed that
the minimum would be 25 gallons. He has flown all over the country in
the RV-10 and cannot think of any airport with a fee as large as this
for someone who wants to park on the ramp for 2-3 hours. $25 is quite
steep and will most likely drive visitors away from the Davenport area
as opposed to attracting any new visitors.
Wanted to ensure no one is surprised!

I nearly killed a bird today. We have a family of Mottled Ducks (black
mallards) that like to sit on our runway. So far only a few tense
moments and no bird strikes. I wouldn't mind if these ducks would get a
bit more extinct.

Thanks, that is essentially what I did for the ignition switch. It won't
rotate but there is some slop. For the smaller parts it will be more
challenging.

Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Cutting holes with one or more flat sides
Hi Craig,
Let me recommend the following procedure.
First, make a model of the hole you want out of cardboard, plastic,
plywood, or some other flat material. Then position the model where
you want the hole and mark the outside edge with a Sharpie (I like
ultra fine ones for this). Now all you have to do is remove the
material inside the mark.
I usually start with a small drill followed by a step drill. For a
large hole such as the one needed for a radio I make 4 holes with the
step drill near each corner. That makes enough room to use snips to
start sneaking up on the final line. After the snips, I tend to
use a Dremel tool with a Christmas Tree shaped rotary file. This
allows me to start with the larger diameter to do rough cutting and
finish with progressively smaller diameter portion of the file.
When all done removing material I run a fine file around both sides
of the edge to remove burrs.
I hope this helps.

The method Paul refers to is the way to go. I call it making a template. It needs
to be accurate, but as a template it can be remade or repaired as many times
as necessary.
Once the template is right, use it to layout your detail. Now is where skill and
patience come into play. Use whatever tools but creep up on the line slowly
and DO NOT go past the line. When you get close to the line start test fitting
the object. Continue this till you either split the line or the part just
slips in.
Hope this helps,
