Wishing you and yours a happy, safe and RV-filled weekend. (sorry for the late push - part time sim ran late last night.)

rockyfatcat RE: Reassemble RV7 from Shipping container - Houston / Southern TX area
There are bolts connecting the spar, flap, and aileron. Fuel lines and wires to the fuel tanks and wingtips. A pitot line and the wing to body fairing. Plus some reassembly of the interior removed to FOM
Scott Hersha RE: Your advice, please, soon to take delivery of an RV 4.
Load your charts on an iPad mini running any of the many e-flight bag setups, and put that on a knee board. No folding required, and most of the time you probably won’t even need that.
Or you can make a bracket to put it in a convenient spot. This one is in a relatively shaded spot on my former RV4, and talks to my uAvionix echo.

Recalcitrant Tanks Close-out Plate….Any Clever Ideas?
I’ve only spent a few days tinkering around with this, but it’s got me a bit stumped - maybe someone has a clever idea for a different attack! I have to remove one of the factory-installed tank close-outs on the F1 because this twenty-something year old tank (which has never had fuel in it, but...

Fuel primer pipe support
I’m having trouble finding out how to support my primer pipes. I’m in the process of doing a top overhaul. As we put the engine back together I need to support the four primer pipes. 1/8” copper tubing routed along the push rod tubes. The original builder used a semi soft grey material...

Need a 12 iS panel picture
Could someone please post a wide picture of their RV-12iS with the Garmin avionics ((including autopilot head)) package? And then a second one showing the fuses? In anticipation of starting recurrent/transition training after 8 years away from flying, I'm trying to develop muscle memory with...

I will soon take delivery of an RV4 in good shape. Pre-Buy mechanic and former four-owner suggested a tail beacon x and maybe an autopilot for long cross-country flights. I would appreciate your thoughts on whether to consider an AV 20 or 30 to go with the tail beacon X (no transponder now) or...

EZ-PORT (Static) Revisited
I make a static port from a Hylok HL20PB6-2 fastener that offers the option, since the "shank" has a 10-32 thread, you can thread on several different tube type ends. In the pics attached you can see a hose barb, a push-to-connect 1/8 &1/4 connector - anything that can be internally threaded to...

FM150 cowl clearance issue
I have a Superior IO-360 parallel valve engine with a cold air sump and a FM 150 fuel servo. The bolt that holds the mixture arm to the servo and the arm itself is contacting the bottom of my RV-8 cowl. Anyone else have to deal with this problem?

Antisplataero oil separator, oil filter drain, Crankcase vaccum kit
I finally got around to installing the Crankcase Vacuum on my RV-10. It took quite a bit of customization to make the kit work with a Vetterman exhaust. Details and parts list can be found here: https://www.strikhedonia.com/installing-the-antisplataero-crankcase-vacuum-kit-on-an-rv-10/ I did...
