Did you order it? Huh huh huh? I need to see one.

I think I am going to buy it. I had a few more questions and Jon emailed me back personally. You can get them in either 12 or 24 volts. They are chromed and cost $350. They sell a chromed mount for $105. They don't sell the plumbing so I need to figure out if the Safeair kit will work.

Well hurry up and order it, there are a bunch of eyes on you waiting to see how you like it.

There are lots 'o people bound up thinking about $1K for a heated tube.

There is a picture and some info on their webite at http://www.flymore.com.au/ click on products. I'll keep you posted if I order it.

Hey CJ, did you plumb you wing with 2 lines for the pitot and AOA? I haven't ordered anything yet since I haven't figured out what to plumb the Flymore heated pitot with. May go with Safeair.

I haven't plumbed it yet, but don't foresee any troubles. I am not at that stage of the game yet.

BTW, one more thing to muddy the mix with is the AP Servo bracket.

Jim Robinette came by on friday and showed me his TruTrack bracket. It mounts to the airleron bellcrank. Seems like we should be installing it now if we want to do things right.

I have a message in to TruTrack and will letcha know what they say.

Maybe I'll wait until this time next year to close the wings.

I think TruTrak will send you the bracket alone with the knowledge that you are going to buy their product in the future - then you can install the bracket and not have to pay for the whole package now.
Something else I need to decide about!

Actually, Bill (killing more time at work!) the roll servo for the -8 is mounted in the fuse - see:

Looks like we're good to go on the wings!

YUP, that makes sense...

There are so many parts the -7 and -8 have in common, I just assumed this was just another!

The -7 and -10 have the same roll servo mount!!!

...which begs the question, where do they stick the -9 servo?

I suppose I will figure that out when I start my -9 wings!

One of the builders here puts the aileron servo on the last rib at the right wing tip. It is easy to service by removing the wingtip and connects to the aileron bell crank by a rod. A really neat installation. This gentleman started with an RV 3 back in the 70's and has built every model Van makes with exception of the 10. He is now on his 2nd or 3rd RV9. He is retired and says he has to have something to do and every time he finishes one someone is there with the money to buy it. Must be nice!!

It is incredible! People want these planes sooooo bad, but they don't wanna build one!
