IX: On Being Grounded …Scott Chasten
Update: Avionics Circuit …csmith3603
Howdy there tony. I think it was 3.30 but can,t remember. I did finally get the switch and vane to work again. It was the Stall
Warning. I replace the entire stall warning with one from another aircraft, plus I replaced the clips to the micro switch.
I believe this was the second time thru this problem! Zenith grin.. From the start I thought the vane was bent and some yahoo was checking my
plane out and hooked the vane and bent it... I put some red and white tape around the vane opening to warn yahoo's to walk around it.

Can six people lift an RV-14 fuselage onto a table?
I'm ready to install the landing gear on my RV-14A but it's sitting on the ground. I want to lift it onto a 35" tall table that is 24"x96". I spent quite a bit of time searching here to see what other people have done to lift their fuselage. Some used motorcycle lifts. Some used jack stands and...

Meditations on a Grounded RV
I. Teardown What does it mean to savor the fast, fleeting, and final hours on the tach before the engine goes idle and the last puffs of burnt fuel begin to fizzle into a wide and far-reaching silence? What sense does one have of eternity when, with a single glimpse, there is captured high...

Avionics circuit
My problem is when I turn on the Avionics switch the Radio (GTR200B) comes ON and Squeals thru the headphones! So,,, the circuit with the squealing's is coming from the Avionics switch wiring! The Radio (GTR200R) was bench tested for 120.00 and was Ok. The NavCom breaker fuse did blow and...

Carbon Monoxide in the cockpit
I bought a CO detector and it reads a small level of CO in the cockpit if the air vents are closed. Pulling the cabin heat knob actually decreases the level, but doesn't go away. Is this common with RV's? Anyone else have a CO detector in the cockpit? Thanks.

I have a part without a place to put it...
Okay, I've inventoried my empennage kit and am laying out the vertical stabilizer parts, reading the plans, trying to make sure I at least understand where things go and when. I have an extra part that two sets of eyes confirm is not called out for in section 6 of the plans. VS-1016. Are we...

Loose Fuel Tanks Bolts on QB Wing
So, I was wiring my left wing today and took a look around inside. Lo and behold, three of the AN3 bolts weren't tightened: Now before someone tells me that I should go through each step of the instructions, I know that and this is why I was looking around, but one wonders if anyone is...

Vetterman Exhaust lower pipe
Looking to see if anyone has the correct PN for this lower pipe. Found a couple of cracks under the clamps where the cabin heat muff attaches. I’m still looking in the web for the part number so not just taking the easy road. But would appreciate if someone has it handy and saves me a lil...
