This is the journal of my multi-year journey to build a flying machine. A real one. This is a Van’s Aircraft RV-7, a two-seat 180hp aircraft good for around 200mph. This is a link to the Van’s Aircraft Site.

you use the nova 606x strobe unit, did it come with the three.flash pattern?

One of the patterns does three fast flashes, then waits a little over a second, then flashes again. outputs 1, 3, and 5 are on the same channel, so if you put the wing strobes on 1 and 3 and the tail strobe on 2, 4, or 6, you get a FAA-legal strobe pattern at an overall 170 flashes per minute, as far as my interpretation of the regs goes.

John… I’m trying to grab your attention regarding the exhaust system you have for sale. Ihave written to Larry Vetterman asking if your system will workonmy RV-8. His reply is …. “those systems are very close to the same but the tail pipes may may a bit short for the -8”.
Iam prepared to take the risk asintend to place short mufflers at the end of the pipes anyhow….provided you are prepared to accept the hassle of shipping to Australia

Would you mind sharing where you acquired your spinner? I have an older RV4 that I bought already built. It has a spinner similar to yours that I really like and I would like to identify the manufacturer. Thanks and Good Luck with your build!
