TFRs Jun Wallpaper Advertise on VAF. 6/4/2021. Issue #5,333. Splash pic is from a flight last week - noticed the RV-8 reflection on the panel and thought it would make a nice picture. Full size is pretty neat - I wondered after if putting some mirrorized mylar on that patch of panel would act as a sort of mirror for the right side. Wishing you and yours a happy, safe and RV-filled weekend. Need a Contract SIC? Use Me! 4K: 3840 x 2880 enlargement Roll servo bolts Q: Apologies if this has been answered before, but a search did not show what I was looking for... I need to replace a roll servo, going from Garmin to Dynon. I found this pic today in the forsale section, which made me think of it... Question: The two bolts holding the mounting bracket in the wing, do these have nuts on the backside, or do they bolt into nut plates? Did not want to loosen as did not see an easy way to get to the other side if are held with nuts, although logic would dictate a nut plate of sorts... Did not build... Thanks, ed A: That day you get your endorsement The end of a long day... First flight plan, first Dual XC, landing at KOXR, meet instructor there, land at L52, only 2300 ft of runway to land on when you're used to 4100 or 6000, land at KIZA, 3 landings there, get diverted from KOXR to KSZP, where instructor lives, get endorsement for KSZP so I can fly to instructor for continued lessons, then fly back to KWHP. That was a loooong day in the Slippery Blue Devil for this student. A video of a landing at KSZP, late in the day. Time to Spare, Go by Air Awesome show! These guys put on an amazing show! Everything from start up to shutdown was displayed to precision. I really enjoyed seeing the formation changes after each pass and their final pitch out with smoke looked awesome. Wings Almost Done ...Garrett Clemmer RV-7 I haven't updated this since my first post so why not now?! The tanks and top skins are installed on both wings and they are in the rolling cradle I built. Ailerons and Flaps are done. Just need to make the pushrods and install everything. I've got plenty of time until my Fuselage kit arrives as I'm not supposed to get it until early Fall. I think I'll probably leave the bottom skins off until later as I haven't decided on Avionics. I also need to insulate and get my garage all set up for moving the shop there as I am running out of room in my basement. It's been nice to build down there though as it's cool in the summer and heated in the winter. I'll just have to sweat it out in the garage during the summers for the rest of the build. G3X splash screen logo ...non-touch Trim Pushrod Issue I have a question that I'm pretty sure I know the answer to. When I match drilled the trim pushrod I was off a little which caused the rivet not to sit perfectly square. As you can see in the pic it caused the rivet to fold. When I went to set the 2nd rivet it started to do the same so I stopped. What would you recommend? Leaky Oil Cooler ... it might be worth your time to do a quick leak check of the cooler. I had a failure at about 80 hours that was not observable other than a little oil at one fitting. I removed it to check/ replace the fitting and instead found a leak in the cooler.
