That would free some panel space if I could eliminate the handheld GPS.

Out of my area of expertiese, but sounds like a great product! Thanks, Allan..

Seat back mods
Alan, you are just great at modifying existing RV parts. I have recently seen some mods for lowering the back of the seats on the 6, 7 & 9. This is a very useful mod and enhances cabin space and accessibality in flight. Could you set up jigs to lower top of the seat back and reinstall the adjustment flap? I think there would be much interest.

... I was reading the thread on this subject and thought "This looks like a great little modification". So off to the airport I went with every intention of retrieving the seat backs and doing this to mine. I was amazed to find that they only rose above the crossbar about 1&1/4" with the seats in there rearward position and our "Almost a 14 seat mod"installed in my RV-9A (not really worth it on mine). I haven't had a chance to look at all models to see the difference and evaluate the benefits. I did see a stock RV-6 and the seats really are tall in comparison, it would surely gain space and access from this mod. The tip-ups are more limited with baggage area due to the roll bar and the would gain as well. I will look at the others and report back soon. Thanks, Allan...

HERES ONE FOR YOU ALAN. MAKE A ELEVATOR TRIM WHEEL assembly to fit just behind my fuel selector in my RV9A, maybe 6"- 8" .Between the seats. Push forward or rotate aft in wheel travel. Maybe even use the Vans supplied trim tab cable.

#3 cylinder cooling
Allan--I think you mentioned once you were working on a solution to the #3 cylinder cooling problem. Are you still working on that? --LeRoy Johnston RV6A "Esperanza" 780 hrs

Bent stick
Likely still some reasonable demand for a bent RV8 stick and possibly with proper hole at base to route wires from grip.

I was thinking of a small gadget to keep the rod end bearing that gets attached to the flap actuator from ever coming loos. Vans solution is to drill a small hole and safety wire this but it has been to variable type satisfaction and result. I know what I would make if I had access to a some fancy equipment to mill a gadget which I am sure it is not hard to imagine.

How about a tool that lets you torque the rod-end jam nuts on the tail? For extra credit, make it so that it works while the rudder and elevators are assembled to the stabilizers.
