I then found a data sheet for the rib profile. When I = plotted that I found it similar but not identtical. With a little = comparing I found that the cordline was off by abbout 1 degree on the = inner rib. Anybody know which is the correct version?

The old price lists had it at $1,800.00. I don't believe that includes the Rev-flow carburetor, but you might want to verify as I neglected to ask. Thomas Dalby Boulder City NV KR-1.5 Netters, Does anyone know of a reasonably priced turbocharger system that can be fitted to the 1835 VW? I intend to use it strictly to normalize the engine at altitude and not for increased performance, so I will manually control the waste gate, and monitor manifold pressure.

Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed MIME-Version: 1.0 Precedence: list Message: 3 This is a forward off the RV-list. Thought some KR guys might be interested. --> RV-List message posted by: Bill Dube Well, after a few delays, including learning how to use the latest printed circuit board (PCB) design software, the prototype LED position lights are complete and working perfectly. I tested the finished units and they put out more than enough light in all directions to meet FAA specs. Here is a link to the write-up with some pictures: The prototype board is designed to lay flat against the aft wall of the Vans sheared tip interior space. It's important to note that the actual physical lay-out of the components is quite fluid. That is, as long as each of the LEDs is pointing in the direction it needs to, it is possible to move any of the components wherever you would like or re-shape the board completely. The next iteration of current regulator PCBs will be considerably more compact. I thought I might need de-coupling capacitors, so I put in pads for them on the prototype PCBs. However, the circuit works fine without them so I will eliminate the pads (and the space they occupy) on the next design iteration. _ /| \'o.O' Bill Dube' =(___)= bdube@al.noaa.gov U Dana Overall 1999 & 2000 National KR Gathering host Richmond, KY RV-7 slider/fuselage Finish kit ordered!!
