Sorry for the interruption, but after almost 10 years of building, the computer on which I've kept my builder log (Kitlog 1.7.3) is showing signs that it's about to go toes up.

I've faithfully back ...

The deets on this year's RV Family Reunion at Oshkosh have now been finalized and are available at:

When is it too early to plan for the 6th sort-of annual RV get-together at Oshkosh? It's never too early.

The now-traditional Wednesday evening get-together will repeat last year's theme of simplic ...

Waiting for the skim coat on the last of my emp fairings (top of the rudder, pictures here - http://rvnewsletter.blogspot.com/2009/09/few-tips.html) to cure, I figured I'd start working on the gear le ...

A pretty elementary question, I'm afraid. Can you refer me to the proper location of the resource that shows the proper way to splice two wires into one?

Specifically, I'm making a wiring harness f ...

Weather had called for perfect skies. Scattered showers now in the forecast for Wednesday.

I wrote about this yesterday on Letters From Flyover Country. Please keep in mind also that this was the NTSB factual report. It is not the probable cause report, although I think we can figure out wh ...

Hi there. I'm posting this on behalf of a reader of a newsletter I write. Any help you can give this gentleman would be appreciated:

The era of the big RVers BBQ at Oshkosh is over, let the return-to-basics begin!

We'll get together for an evening of sitting around doing nothing, no ...

I meant to start a new thread regarding how the solid state system might change avionics infrastructure ahead, rather than hijack Jim's thread.

So here it is.

I did doublecheck and,yes, the conf ...

Z-11 is no heavier than an off-the-ramp
TC aircraft with an avionics bus. The
E-bus is always recommended if you plan
to venture of cross country . . . and
particularly at night ...

We also kicked this around on the RV List in november. I don't have an exact link but I referenced the discussion here:

The original ques ...

Wondering if anyone has installed a Vertical Power 50 (or 100, the 200 is a whole different animal) system and, if so, what did your backup system look like?

The "get home" system on the ...

So, umm, back to the original question. Does anyone have any images of their antenna installation for this configuration. Just curious. Thanks.

Your personal curiosity is our enlightenment, fella! (g) When you ask a question.... it makes me think it's an answer I NEED!

Do not archive

I don't really see any reason for either-ors here. You outfit your plane for whatever you want. If safety is a concern -- and it is for me -- that means traffic avoidance systems, 406 ELTS (yes, they ...

First let me say, I don't GET putting DO NOT ARCHIVE on that message, Stein. It's a good question that, it seems to me, will be valuable for people who want to follow this in the future.

But ...

Bob, I am hoping that this thread actually expands and becomes a Big
Deal, or at least bigger.

I have felt for some time that the location, mount orientation, ground
plane and attempt at conceali ...

Yeah, I think you can. According to the instructions, the mounting bracket will exchange properly with the existing setups. I'm just curious how people are installing. When you read the instructions, ...

I'm interested in seeing pix of people's installations of the Artex 406 ELT in a 7A. Where it's mounted, for example. Also, if I read this correctly, the antenna requires a 24" ground plane. Seem ...
