Ernest,
Johns stock HR2 cowling works extremely well for cooling and efficiency rig
ht out of the box. I have always used 1:1.2 for entry/exit ratio. Remember w
hen you measure the exit to consider the exhaust pipes using some of the are
a. Most of my flying is in hot weather so I cut a large U in my lower cowlin
g lowering my CHTs in climb below 350 and 300 in cruise and no noticeable sp
eed loss. I estimate my current ratio at 1:1.5 entry/exit. I normally cruise
at 20"/2350 RPM 180 knots true at 10.5 GPH using electronic ignition, GAMI i
njectors 2 blade Hartzell D twist and swept wing tips. I use a larger tire f
or my rough home strip yet can reach 220 knots in level flight. A truly wond
erful airplane!

EAA Chapter 288 had a nice presentation last month on a turboprop that
weighs 50# without gearbox and prop and puts out 242HP. It is a great
looking engine. Cost - $90K with gearbox.

Hi Stan,
Do you happen to have a name or POC for the turbine presentation at Chapter 288?
Although out of my price range right now, I'd like to keep up with what they
are doing.
Thanks, Mark S.

All the calculations I've done indicated that fuel consumption is the
problem - or more specifically how much fuel you can carry. That's what
Inodyn (now defunct) were trying to figure out with their computerized fuel
management system.
Below 300 HP, internal combustion is hard to "out-compromise".
Having said that the RR300 they're putting in the Robinson R66, looks real
interesting. Now if you've got unlimited funds, that might be a project ...

Dan,
--There comes a point when weight vs horsepower becomes an issue. The I
O-720 weighs nearly 500 lbs installed. The Comanche 400 (IO-720) is a very
cool airplane but burns alot of gas for the weight. Roy Lopresti's Comanche
260 with clean-up mods could go just as fast. ---A P&W PT6-6 turbine
weighs just under 300 lbs and puts out over 600HP (not de-rated) The probl
em is cost. A good friend of mine actually removed his IO-540 from his F-1
in lieu of a 200HP flowed and balanced IO-360. Why?-Weight and handling.
He shaved over 160 lbs off his empty weight and only lost 8 knots at top en
d. Not that I'm removing my 540 anytime soon, I get to fly ALOT of RV's and
sometimes I too miss the light nose and empty weight of my 150HP wood prop
RV4.
-The advantage of a turbine for me would be the "less nose heavy ness" an
d ability to run diesel or kerosene.-

Mark,
Found the info from EAA288.org web site.
PBS, Czech Republic built Turbo-Prop, TP-100 and the Turbo-Jet, TJ-100
Turbine Engines. The TJ-100 weighs 48 Lbs and generates 250 Lbs of thrust. If
you were at OSH, Air Venture 2010 you saw this engine powering an aerobatic
glider. The TP-100 develops 242 HP and is presently being installed in an
RV-10 by Diemech Turbines at their facility in Deland. Christian Skoppe is
President of Diemech Turbines and will attend the meeting. These Engines
have the potential to be a "Game Changer" in the light aircraft world.

I can't speak for a Harmon Rocket but a lot of F1s had a terrible vibration (prop-beat
or whatever) that was intolerable with a 2 blade hartzell. Mine was one
of them. Changed to a 3 blade MT (one of Jim's)
Problem was gone and plane was much quieter. It did however have measurable loss
of performance in climb and cruise as well as top speed.
I think Tom Gummo has a 4 blade MT on his Harmon and I recall somewhere he called
it the slowest Rocket in the West.
In my opinion the less blades the better for performance and cost. As to the manufacturer
I have heard few complaints about Hartzell or MT. Never heard of the
brand you are considering.

Should have better climb on 3 blades, but lower top speed (extra blade = more drag).

Best HR2 prop? The one that works:) seriously, the prototype HR2 has a Hartzell
2 blade sold by John. After testing 2 props on mine and chatting with other folks,
here is my 2cents.
I had a "D" twist Hartzell 2 blade on mine optimized for 2500 RPM. Their is also
a "J" twist optimized for 2350 RPM. Hartzell also makes a 2blade Blended airfoil
prop for the Rocket currently flown by Tom Martin. The MT would be smoother
but a bit slower at top end, the 3blade Hartzell is too heavy.
I would either go with the J twist or BA 2 blade from Hartzell purchased through
Harmon (J) or Team Rocket (BA)

Guys,
I also have a thirty year old engine that I rebuilt. IO-540J4A5 is only 250
HP as well. :-) So who knows what the real HP is? Jim tells me that I
just don't have the HP to use my prop properly.
Part of my slowest is that I built the plane myself and while it turned out
great, I clearly didn't know anything about getting speed out of an
aircraft.
I didn't have an vibration when I had a two blade Hartzell. In my case, the
three blade MT was as fast as the two blade Hartzell.
My four blade MT is slower as I used to cruise:
at 10,500 or 11,500 MSL
Full throttle.
RPM 2100
Leaned to 10.0 to 10.5 GPH
KIAS = 140 True = 180 Knots
with MT prop:
KIAS = 135 True = 170 Knots
For local flying, I really don't see much of a difference.
Numbers are from the top of my head but they are close.

Hey Tom, The deal is you built the ship and with that as you say is your 390
hr grin. I went for a rip up here in Red Rider to exercise the two blade
Hartzel and stay in practice as it is becoming screaming cross wind time on
our single runway here in the Sierras. I have the ship up for sale again and
will probably will pull it off the market again, lots of picture collectors
and Texas cattlemen but no real buyers these days. Glad to hear that your
still kicking. Bob Marshall.

although once removed my old system had cracks I couldn't see until off airp

Andrew,
I'm taking delivery of a new prop for my Super Six in late August/
early September, and will be selling my current prop at that time.
It's the hub you listed, with the D twist blades you listed (80"). I'm
on the road now, but can provide you with serial numbers, pictures,
etc (plus references for me).
This prop has been on my 300HP IO-540 since new (890 hours). It's
slinging a little grease, and I can sell it as is, with a seal
replacement, or with a fresh overhaul (price commensurate with work
done prior to sale).
Happy to send pics and all pertinent info to you. Not sure if it meets
your time horizon, but willing to work with you on the deal. If
interested, please contact me at rvmills (at) sbcglobal (dot) net.
I'm in Reno, NV if you are close enough to come take a look.
Thanks, and cheers,
Bob

| Subject: | Rocket Lord Engine Mount P/N? |
| From: | Jay McIntyre <cjaviator(at)gmail.com> |
Hi all,
I am new to this list and am looking after an engine change on another
Lister's Rocket.
A couple of the engine mount rubbers are perished and I am after the P/N
used as the aircraft and original rubbers are not in the same locality as
me!
The gentleman who originally built the aircraft kindly lists the P/N in the
logbooks but they are somewhat unreadable.
Numbers look to be 7763-48 and J9612-8
Engine is a Lyc IO-540-C4-B5
Any assistance here as to what the correct P/N for this set up is would be
greatly appreciated.

G'day Jay,
They'll probably be the same as the Aztec C4B5 mount, which are Lord
J-9613-12 for later model PA23-250.
I'm using Barry Mount 94011-02, same part # at Aircraft Spruce.

Tim,
I like the mountain high system, I Velcro attached it to the back of the front
seat. Having made that trip alot, I usually went west below 12500 and east at
11500, saved O2!

I just went through all of this, including calling Lord, asking for
recommendations from reputable sources and searching all of the on-line
resources that I could.
I finally decided that the Lord J-9613-12 was the appropriate one.
Some folks (including Mark Frederick) recommended the Barry mounts due
to price, others (Aero Sport, many others) recommended Lord for quality.

I have an HR-II kit circa early 90=99s. Recently, I=99ve
begun fitting my engine and have discovered that the cowling does not
fit my modified D4A5 with cold air induction. The induction supplier
says that there is are two versions of the HRII cowling, and that I may
have the older one.
I have not heard of this... is there a newer cowling that provides more
room below the engine and in the chin scoop area?
Thanks,

If you don't mind a nice grass strip Skylane (3EV), where I keep my

Will update shortly.

| Subject: | PLEASE READ - 2011 List Fund Raiser Kickoff - 21 Years Strong!! |
Dear Listers,
This year marks 21 years of the Email Lists and Forums at Matronics! I've been
running these forums for nearly half my life! I've made some great friends over
the years and had countless email and personal conversations with builders
about aircraft building and flying. What a great community of people! The advice,
support, and friendship has be invaluable over the years.
To support the continued operation and upgrade of the List servers, each November
I hold a PBS-like fund raiser. It is solely through the Contributions of List
members that these Matronics Lists are possible. There is NO advertising
to support the Lists. You might have noticed the conspicuous lack of flashing
banners and annoying pop-ups on the Matronics Email List email messages and web
site pages including:
* Matronics List Forums http://forums.matronics.com
* Matronics List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search
* Matronics List Browser http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse
* Matronics List List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com
You don't find advertising on any of these pages because I believe in a List experience
that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - airplanes!
During the month of November, I will be sending out List messages every couple
of days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular
messages. The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these Lists. Your personal Contribution
counts!
Once again, this year we've got another terrific line up of free gifts to go along
with the various Contribution levels. Many of these gifts have been provided
by some of the vary members and vendors that you'll find on Matronics Lists
and they have been either donated or provided at substantially discounted rates.
This year, these generous people include:
* Bob Nuckolls of the AeroElectric Connection http://www.aeroelectric.com
* Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore http://www.buildersbooks.com
These are extremely generous guys and I encourage you to visit their respective
web sites. Each one offers a unique and very useful aviation-related product
line. I would like publicly to thank Bob, and Andy for their generous support
of the Lists again this year!!
You can make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a credit card, PayPal, or by personal check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure site below:

I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral
support over the years!

Today!
Each year at the end of the List Fund Raiser, I post a message acknowledging everyone
that so generously made a Contribution to support the Lists. Its sort of
my way of publicly thanking everyone that took a minute to show their appreciation
for the Lists.
Won't you take a moment and assure that your name is on that List of Contributors
(LOC)? As a number of members have pointed out over the years, the List seems
at least - if not a whole lot more - valuable as a building/flying/recreating/entertainment
tool as your typical magazine subscription!
Please take minute and assure that your name is on this year's LOC! Show others
that you appreciate the Lists. Making a Contribution to support the Lists is
fast and easy using your Credit card or Paypal on the Secure Web Site:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
or by dropping a personal check in the mail to:

the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund
Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined
with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site
up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics
Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are
so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have
it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

| Subject: | What's Your Contribution Used For? |
Dear Listers,
You might have wondered at some pointd, "What's my Contribution used for?" Here
are just a few examples of what your direct List support enables... It provides
for the expensive, commercial-grade Internet connection used on the List.
It pays for the regular system hardware and software upgrades enabling the highest
performance possible for List services such as the Archive Search Engine,
List Browser, and the Web Forums. It pays for over 21 years (yeah, I really
said *21* years) worth of on line archive data available for instant search
and access. And, it offsets the many hours spent writing, developing, and maintaining
the custom applications that power this List Service such as the List
Browse, Search Engine, Forums, and Wiki.
But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where you and your
peers can communicate freely in an environment that is free from moderation,
censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM, and computer viruses.
It is YOUR CONTRIBUTION that directly enables these aspects of Matronics List services.
Please support it today with your List Contribution. Its one of the
best investments you can make in your Sport!

If you look forward to checking your List email everyday (and a lot of you have
written to say that you do!), then you're probably getting at least $20 or $30
worth of Entertainment from the Lists each year. You'd pay twice that for a
subscription to some magazine or even a dinner out. Arn't the Lists worth at
least that much to you? Wouldn't it be great if you could pay that same amount
and get a well-managed media source free of advertising, SPAM, and viruses?
Come to think of it, you do...

| Subject: | Contributions Down By 20%... |
Dear Listers,
As of today, Contributions to the Matronics List Fund Raiser are lagging behind
last year at this time by roughly 20%. I have a Fund Raiser each year simply
to cover my operating costs for the Lists. I *do not* accept any advertising
income to support the Lists and rely solely on the Contributions of members to
keep the expenses paid.
I run all of my own servers and they are housed here locally, and the Internet
connection is a commercial-grade, T1 connection with public address space. I
also maintain a full backup system that does nightly backups of all List-related
data so that in the event of a server crash, all of the Lists and the many
years of List archive data could be restored onto a new server in a matter of
hours.
All of this costs a fair amount of money, not to mention a significant amount of
my personal time. I have a Fund Raiser each year to cover these costs and I
ask that members that feel they receive a benefit from my investments make a
modest Contribution each year to support the continued operation and upgrade of
these services.
If you enjoy the Lists, please make a Contribution today. I also offer some incentive
gifts for larger Contribution levels. At the Contribution Web Site, you
can use a credit card, Paypal, or personal check to show your support for the
continuation of these services:

Dear Listers,
There are just two more days left in this years List Fund Raiser. Over the last

Lists have meant to them. I have included some of them below. Please read over
the comments and ponder on your own feelings about the Lists and the support
and camaraderie you have found here.
We are still way behind last year in terms of the number of contributions. I really
want to keep providing these services to the homebuilt community, but it
take resources. Since there's no advertising budget or deep pockets to keep
the operation a float, its solely your generosity during the Fund Raiser that
keeps things going. Please make a Contribution today.

and are up and running nicely. The first company I ordered the boards from

Hi all...
Wondering where the best place to get wingtip lights for a Rocket II, S/N
004.
The ones on this aircraft are very brittle due to being too close to the
bulb and I smashed one this morning by merely looking at it... well not
quite....
The other is cracked to all buggery so I would like to replace them both
but understand there are issues with the ones from Vans?
If you suggest using the Vans ones, which model?
Any advice greatly appreciated... oh and I need to be able to have them
shipped to New Zealand, so easy payment could be an issue.

Fellow Builders,
I building a new rudder for 'ol Ruby Vixen and was pondering how to install the
rod end bearings after the leading edge is formed. I think I did it the first
time with a pliers or something that kind of scratched the bearing and ran the
risk of tweaking the leading edge. I was surfing around on Flyboy Accessories
this week and found this sweet Rod End Bearing Tool. It arrived today and
I can't believe how awesome it is. It totally works as good as you would imagine.
Order one today!! You won't be sorry.
(No connection with FB or the tool maker; just a really impressed owner.)

Jim,
I have done three prebuy inspections on Don George engines and all three had some
issue post overhaul. Zephyr engines is a better call but the top 2 in my mind
are LyCon and Aerosport power. They do incredible work and produce a superior
product for your incestment. I know they are farther away, but you asked :)

Smokey: James Kleen (an electrical engineer at Gulfstream) has a HR kit
that he bought from someone else. He built an RV-8A and flies it a lot,
maybe that's why he hasn't done much with this Rocket kit. Anyway, I've no
idea whether he's interested in selling or not, but I know he's not doing
much with it either. I harass him about it all the time but so far, he's
not taking the bait.
Email me at leeloganster(at)gmail.com and I'll forward you his email address.

I had an engine failure in my Harmon Rocket (Lyc IO 540), and I am looking for
an engine expert to have a look at all the pieces and tell me what caused the
failure. I have the entire engine disassembled and available for inspection in
Louisville Kentucky.
Or, I would like any info on KS bearing failure and their roll in engine failures.
My engine failed with less than 400 hours since 0 time rebuild.
The engine started making a faint knocking noise followed by oil temp climb and
caution, I headed back to my field and I was on base leg when a connecting rod
failed and punched thru the case, I landed without further incident.
The engine seized just after touchdown. The case, crank, cam, rods, pistons and
cylinders were all damaged and unusable.
Of note, my engine started making metal on the last oil analysis indicating something
wearing, the company said to retest in 25 hours, I didn't make 10. I suspect
the KS rod bearing failed causing the rod bolts to work harden and fail.
If you have any experience or knowledge you could pass on to me, please call or
email me.
My goal is to pursue KS bearing if they are determined to be the cause of the failure.
Thanks,
Jim Stone

| From: | Vince Frazier <vincefrazier(at)gmail.com> |
>From the other forum:
Inviting ALL Rocket pilots and other interested persons for a loosely
organized, meet and greet, and informal discussion of Rocket issues.
Let's meet at the Homebuilt Cafe at 10AM Tuesday morning. If the Homebuilt
Cafe is full, or if they kick us out, we can easily either go sit in the
shade at Paul's Woods, or walk a bit farther to meet in the Theater in the
Woods. That should put us in, more or less, one easy to find spot. I'll
bring a small sign to indicate our group for those who aren't familiar with
many of us. Otherwise, look for obnoxious, swaggering pilots, or guys in
Flyboy Accessories t-shirts.
I propose that we (loosely) follow this agenda:
1. Safety issues, past present and future. (NTSB reports for RV's and
Rockets). The floor will be open for safety discussions related to a)
flying b) maintenance and c) building issues I hope that Doug Rozendal
will have a few minutes to speak on these topics.
2. Builder comments. I'd like to hear what problems are occurring as the
hours build on our machines.
3. Group insurance potential. RV group rates for Rockets (AUA Insurance
quotes). I have been trying to find reasonable quotes.
4. Rocket gathering 2013 (where and when?)
5) schedule a follow-up evening meeting for continued conversation over
adult beverages, possibly Wednesday evening. Tuesday is the Van's banquet,
so it is out.
Obviously, insurance and safety go hand in hand and should be a priority to
all Rocketeers since it also goes hand in hand with resale value of our
birds.
I will gladly moderate the discussion, although I know from past experience
that herding cats is easier. I will also happily turn over the meeting to
anyone who has more experience as a cat herder.
If anyone with more industry knowledge would like to step up and volunteer
to coordinate the insurance group buy, I'd be very pleased.
Also, does anyone know if John Anderson is planning an evening get together
this year?
Please RSVP to vincefrazier(at)gmail.com or to this thread. It would be good
to have a rough head count. Feel free to dial 812-449-0230 during the show.

If anyone with more industry knowledge would like to step up and volunteer
to coordinate the insurance group buy, I'd be very pleased.
Also, does anyone know if John Anderson is planning an evening get together
this year?
Please RSVP to vincefrazier(at)gmail.com or to this thread. It would be good
to have a rough head count. Feel free to dial 812-449-0230 during the show.

Guys,
Earlier I posted a note about meeting with any and all interested
Rocketeers. We will meet at 10am on Tuesday, July 24th at the Homebuilt
Cafe. Please ignore any earlier remarks about using the Theater in Woods
as a back-up.
****error**** or if they kick us out, we can easily either go sit in the
shade at Paul's Woods, or walk a bit farther to meet in the Theater in the
Woods. ****error*****
Sorry guys, my bad, the Homebuilt Cafe is NOT near the theater in the
woods. We WILL meet at the Homebuilt Cafe as advertised! The Homebuilt
Cafe is near the GREEN TOWER landmark, which is visible from nearly
everywhere along the flight line. See you there!!!!

-On Rocket pre-buy inspections I always check, along with all the other s
tandard RV items:-
The rudder and elevator skin for cracks between the rivets. While you're ba
ck there check the tightness of the hinge attach nuts on the elevator and r
udder. Also:

Make sure to inspect the lower engine mount tubes carefully for cracks at t

s bent or not. Exhaust pipes for cracks (find more on Rockets than RV's) I
have never found them on a Vetterman, but always check. Questions?

| Subject: | RV-3 vs. Harmon Rocket I - some questions |
Hi to all,
this is my first post so a very brief introduction first: I am a 49 yrs old / 1,600
hrs PPL from Muenster (Germany), have owned a RV-4 with which I averaged
ca. 70 hrs p.a. and now I am looking into the Rocket world as I have sold the
-4 just a couple of days ago and Id like to get a successor for it (I still have
a share in a 4 seat plane).
I am an eying a HR I (single seat, I know) and Id be glad if you folks could help
me some information re the HR I (just ca. 5 built I believe) in general:
1.) As far as I understand the HR I is essentially a standard -3 with a "pumped
up" motor and a raised turtleback. I am not aware of any change of seating location
for CG reasons as all the parts and pieces were installed in the original
locations. Is that correct?
2.) With the angle valve IO 360 I think the CG at Empty Weight (I know a MTV-12
over a i.e. a Hartzell helps) is important. What is the correct CG at empty weight
please and what is a common empty weight?
3.) Too, I dont know about potential flutter of RV-3 control surfaces at say 210kts+
IAS. Any personal limits you guys have set yourself?
4.) I am trying to find out the specs of the HR I especially the recommended MTOW
as designed as I would need that fort the process of getting it on the European
Experimental register. Any one knows this (or more specs) and have some
set their own MTOW?
Well, just a couple of questions as a start I might come up with more so already
many thanks for some replies.
Best, Heinz
P.S. Smokey: thanks for pointing me to this forum!!

Ernest,

If you had your canopy "back" instead of "over", I assume you've got an F-1
instead of an HRII. If so, I doubt you're interested, but-I have a 90% c
omplete (needs counterweights and fiberglass) set of elevators-for an HRI
I (0.016 skins).

I had an unfortunate incident today where while I was running the engine
up on my Rocket with the canopy back the canopy took a departure from the
plane and hit my right elevator.- Does anyone have one that they would
like to sell?- Right elevator that is.
You can reach me here or at ernest(at)flmitigation.com.

Hey Miles,
Thanks for responding, it actually is a HRII that I put the sliding canopy
on. I think we have one spotted but will let you know if that doesn't work
out. Where are you located? I am in Jacksonville, FL.

G'day Earnest,
Sorry to hear about your misfortune ... I know how much work goes into that
slider and empennage. Was it because the retainers let go at the back of
the canopy track? Is there something we can all learn from this?

Hey Miles,
Thanks for responding, it actually is a HRII that I put the sliding canopy
on. I think we have one spotted but will let you know if that doesn't work
out. Where are you located? I am in Jacksonville, FL.

Ernest,
If you had your canopy "back" instead of "over", I assume you've got an F-1
instead of an HRII. If so, I doubt you're interested, but I have a 90%
complete (needs counterweights and fiberglass) set of elevators for an HRII
(0.016 skins).

I had an unfortunate incident today where while I was running the engine
up on my Rocket with the canopy back the canopy took a departure from the
plane and hit my right elevator. Does anyone have one that they would
like to sell? Right elevator that is.

Yes on all accounts. I had an oil leak, we thought we fixed it. I was
about to go on a trip that was over 1,000 miles and wanted to make sure the
leak was fixed so ran the engine up to about 2,000 rpm (over the usual 1500
for mags). The canopy was all the way back since I live in FL and it is hot
here. It obviously lifted out of the track at the back which is the weak
link. If I had locked it just behind the pilot seat like I do when it is
cold it would not have happened.
Bottom line with a sliding canopy, at least like mine, do not get the prop
over 1500 rpm or you may loose it.

G'day Earnest,
Sorry to hear about your misfortune ... I know how much work goes into that
slider and empennage. Was it because the retainers let go at the back of
the canopy track? Is there something we can all learn from this?

Hey Miles,
Thanks for responding, it actually is a HRII that I put the sliding canopy
on. I think we have one spotted but will let you know if that doesn't work
out. Where are you located? I am in Jacksonville, FL.

Ernest,
If you had your canopy "back" instead of "over", I assume you've got an
F-1 instead of an HRII. If so, I doubt you're interested, but I have a 90%
complete (needs counterweights and fiberglass) set of elevators for an HRII
(0.016 skins).

Thanks Earnest ... what type of mechanism did you have closing the canopy
track at the back?
Some builders use a cover with a tab screwed to the bulkhead. Docthrock
used a short piece of angle in the track.
Just wondering what let go?

That was the weak link where it let go, just a piece of metal, not very
strong, screwed into the back of the plane. Needs to be much stronger.

Thanks Earnest ... what type of mechanism did you have closing the canopy
track at the back?
Some builders use a cover with a tab screwed to the bulkhead. Docthrock
used a short piece of angle in the track.
Just wondering what let go?
Kind regards, Stu

Yes on all accounts. I had an oil leak, we thought we fixed it. I was
about to go on a trip that was over 1,000 miles and wanted to make sure the
leak was fixed so ran the engine up to about 2,000 rpm (over the usual 1500
for mags). The canopy was all the way back since I live in FL and it is hot
here. It obviously lifted out of the track at the back which is the weak
link. If I had locked it just behind the pilot seat like I do when it is
cold it would not have happened.
Bottom line with a sliding canopy, at least like mine, do not get the prop
over 1500 rpm or you may loose it.

G'day Earnest,
Sorry to hear about your misfortune ... I know how much work goes into that
slider and empennage. Was it because the retainers let go at the back of
the canopy track? Is there something we can all learn from this?

Hey Miles,
Thanks for responding, it actually is a HRII that I put the sliding canopy
on. I think we have one spotted but will let you know if that doesn't work
out. Where are you located? I am in Jacksonville, FL.

Ernest,
If you had your canopy "back" instead of "over", I assume you've got an
F-1 instead of an HRII. If so, I doubt you're interested, but I have a 90%
complete (needs counterweights and fiberglass) set of elevators for an HRII
(0.016 skins).
