Vans Aircraft RV-12 Airplane Build, Sections 42D: SkyView Update, 42C: Skyview D1000 (part 1)

Reference: pages 42D-12, 42D-13, 42C-19; 3.0 hours

Please note that page 42C is referenced in this entry. This is not a typo but rather another instance where more than one section must be referred to at the same time.

Also, during the work done in this entry I noticed the RTV sealant I had used to hold the static lines to the ports wasn't holding to the zinc chromate. So I removed it and replaced it with fuel tank sealant, which stick just fine!

Reference: page 42D-12

Step 1: Rivet the F-00009-L & -R ADAHRS Brackets to the F-1278 Top Skin.



Step 2: Unplug and discard the short piece of Static Line going from the F PLASTIC TEE to the Left Side Static Port. Remove and set aside F PLASTIC TEE for later use.



Step 3: Cut the Static Line going from the F PLASTIC TEE to the Right Side Static Port, at the centerline of the aircraft.



This completes page 42D-12.

Reference: page 42D-13

Step 1: Cut a 24 inch long length of PT 1/8 CLR Plastic, to make the Static Port - Tee.

Step 2: Cut a 7/8 inch long length of PT 1/8 CLR Plastic, to make the Static Line Tee upsize.

Step 3: Cut a 15 inch long length of PT 1/4 OD TUBE, to make the Static Line Tee - ADAHRS.

Step 4: Cut a 33 inch long length of PT 1/4 OD TUBE, to make the Pitot line extension.



Step 5: Heat then slide the Static Line Tee Upsize and Static Line Tee-ADAHRS over the forward facing leg of the F PLASTIC TEE as shown in the detail view on page 42D-13. Heat then slide the Static Line Port - TEE onto the left leg of the F PLASTIC TEE. Heat then slide the Static Line onto the right leg of the F PLASTIC TEE.

Step 6: Heat a PT 1/4IDX3/8ODX4" Pitot Tube Joiner. Use the pitot tube joiner to join the Pitot Line Extension and Aft Pitot Tube together.



This completes page 42D-13.

Reference: page 42C-19

Step 1: Install the SV-ADAHRS-200 to the ADAHRS Brackets using the hardware called out in figure 1 on page 42C-19 of the RV-12 airplane plans.



Step 2: Install F N4MC-2Male Nylon Fittings on the ends of the AFT Pitot Line and Static line See Section 5Y O-RIng Seal Fitting Installation Instructions. Install each fitting into the SV-ADAHRS-200.



This completes the work for the day on the RV-12 airplane kitted by Van's Aircraft.
