RF Interference project …bbaggerman
“…I made an RF filter to go in-line with my 403 intercom connector that clear up that problem. Eventually I replace the SL-40 with a Dynon radio and the problem magically went away.”
Rudder Chaffing Update …avrojockey
Thanks for all the replies!
I didn't know this was standard installation as this is my first RV. Looking in the cable fairing I can see the adel clamp and poly tube but it's not extended through the fuselage...I'll fix this immediately.
My main concern now is the possibility of a stress riser where the skin is worn. Here's some pics...tell me what you think...

Intercom
Has anyone installed a different intercom besides the Flightcom 403? I have found that certain headsets don't work very well, some you can hear the passenger but they can't hear you very well, or when using two Lightspeed HS there is a pretty loud hissing noise when talking, I've replaced the...

Horizontal stabilizer mount
Horizontal stabilizer mount
Trying to align the horizontal stabilizer for mounting. Need to move the assembly a bit more to Starboard but can’t due to interference between rear deck and right side elevator horn. Only fix I can see is to trim the rear deck a bit to give me more clearance. Is this a common need or am I...
