I'm getting ready to do some of the fiberglass work. This includes filling the seams between the empenage and the tip of each surface, minor repair directly...
Anybody know of anyone locally that's flying with a Dynon ? I've never seen one up close and would like to see the readability in an actual cockpit. Thanks ...
I have a Dynon 10a in my panel. But more interestingly a friend just put I the dual 7" dynon system it looks great. he is building a Zenith Zodiac and it will...
That's interesting. I live right off the end or the runway at Littlebrook and can hit it with a rock if I throw hard enough. I wouldn't mind seeing the...
I saw the Dynon system at a trade show out in Seattle, Wow it was soooooo nice, I want to put it into my RV-8 also. The sales rep said it can even be approved...
From what I heard the developer had a partner back out of making a payment as required by the contract with the property owner. He missed some contractual...
If I were starting from scratch, I would probably build my whole panel around the D100. But with an existing steam gauge panel, it is really tough to work it...
One thing I've kinda "come into" along the way is that flexability on a single-width panel (RV-3/4/8) is over rated. Cut it how you want it for the gauges you...
I've been taking a break from my -4 the last month. Between work and the project, I'm crispy burnt-out. But here's my status: - I did the canopy using the...
Hi Bruce, How's the 4 coming along ? Are you close to flying yet ? Hoping to get in some formation with you at LWM this summer if you show up with it and...
We will have to do that! I'll make a most to TigerOne. I REALLY miss formation. I'm guessing first flight will be late June/July. Hard to say, I nead to...
... filling the seams between the empenage and the tip of each surface, minor repair directly on fiberglass, the canopy fairings and filler to smooth out the...
I hope I'm not breaking our rules with this. In the interest of supporting my flying habit while I'm building and possibly someone else's out there, I'm...
Hi everyone, I have a little problem that maybe some of you experienced and have advice on. The very last spar bolt I was putting in, a 1/4 inch bolt on the...
Hi, The Hanscom AFB aero club is hosting an open house on June 10 from 9am to 3pm at (where else?) Hanscom Field in Boston. The club holds these open houses...
Dave I ran into the same problem on my 6A, I unstuck the bolt by using a 1/4 impact gun in reverse with low air pressure. On the other side I pushed with a pin...

Does anyone know the behind-the-panel instrument clearance to the sub-panel on the -7/9? I'm guessing about 8", but want to refine that. I want to do a rough...
Tom: Can't help you with the clearance info...my tip up is about 7 1/2 inches, probably different than your slider. However, I wanted to comment about your...
Thanks Steve. No damage done to the spar, then, right? I ordered a couple of new bolts. I'll check the "bad" bolt against the ones that are coming and see...
Dave: The idea of simplicity translates to this: If I have a major avionics failure, the objective is to land at the nearest airport and not too fancy. The...
What about Joe Gauthier in CT? I thought he was our “local” guy. I’ve been to several of his seminars, and had planned to use him, if & when the time...
Dave, You might want to pick up a reamer to ream the hole a few mils oversize. I've had it happen where the hole is only drilled nominally and the bolt/rivet...
I wouldn't do that. The reason that we use close tolerance bolts in the spar is so there is minimal "wiggle". The holes are reamed at VANS to size. Y'all be...
Actually, Van's allows a small amount of reaming on the web (thin part of the spar box). I could not get even the hardware store bolts to go into my -9a wing...
It was VERY helpful, as I see the same issues looming for me brian ... From: BostonRVBuilders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:BostonRVBuilders@yahoogroups.com]On...
... I measured the 1/4" spar bolts for my 9A and found that the area just behind the threads measure .2492 and the shank of the bolts measure .2488. This...
Hello all, Thank you for all the advice! I had a similar problem with the gear weldments not lining up. I removed the weldments and enlarged the holes as...
New England RVers, The Pre-Oshkosh Fomation Clinic will be held this year on 21-23 Jul at Whiteside Co Airport (SQI), Rock Falls, IL. This year, it will be...
