| Subject: | Multi-pin wire connectors |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Stein Bruch" <stein@steinair.com>
Hi Steve,
One of the best all around types of connectors are Cannon Plugs. They can
be bought in ANY size from 3 pins up to 100+ in one connector ranging from
1/2" diameter to 4+" in diameter. They come in may shapes, sizes,
materials, and types. Simple twist, plastic, metal, thermocouple, etc...
You can find them supporting wire guages/pin sizes from 2-30AWG wire,etc..
They've been Aerospace industry standard for years. I have my almost
everything in my plane wired with some sort of connectors (Cannon, Molex,
D-Sub), in fact nearly my whole panel can be pulled out by disconnecting 3
cannon plugs! The fact that I'm a lazy A&P that doesn't like difficult
maintenance, I tried to build my plane with maintenance/upgrades in mind.
The Cannon plugs I used are the newer hard black plastic and take only about
a half twist to disconnect. For all the wires through the firewall, I used
a 48pin Mil-Spec sealed metal cannon plug that can be disconnected on both
sides of the firewall. Makes for an easy and clean firewall penetration.
FYI, the really good pins are gold plated and are NOT cheap, but they work
on the space shuttle and Boeings, so....
Digi-Key stocks hundreds of variable kinds, pins, tools, etc.. and just
about every other kind of connector you could ever think of including molex,
D-subs, etc.. as does allied electronics and several other big distribution
houses.
Hope this help,
Stein Bruch

The search continues.
I looked at the Newark Electronics website and every electronics catalog I
have along with RC
catalogs but can't seem to find a good wire connector. I would like to have
a quick disconnect
for each wing to fuselage wire assembly as well and for the control columns.
I initially wanted
to use 9 pin connectors but can only seem to find the males ones.
Can someone give me a place and part number for a good quick disconnect for
these wires?
Thank you
Steve

| Subject: | Oil on airplane belly |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Randy Compton" <rdcompton@earthlink.net>
Listers:
I now have about 40 hours since a major overhaul of my Lyc O-320. I have
been consistently getting some oil on the belly just aft of / in line with
the engine breather line. This has been happening even while doing nothing
but straight-and-level cross country type flying. It's doesn't seem to be a
lot, but just enough to make a 6-inch diameter splotch and a few run-back
lines for a foot or so. The flight-times have all been in the 1 to 2 hour
range.
Perhaps it could be due to over-servicing the oil quantity, but I am getting
this oil mess even when the quantity is showing 6 quarts. I did an oil
change yesterday and saw no oil leaks anywhere at all on the engine or
accessories. I've been told that a new/freshly overhauled engine should not
be blowing any oil if it is broken-in and serviced correctly, so I'm
beginning to wonder if I have a cylinder problem or something. I've also
heard that a glazed cylinder will cause the crankcase to pressurize
excessively and oil to blow out.
What's puzzling is that I followed the break-in instructions exactly. I did
not "baby" the engine, and all the operating temps, etc. have been good.
I've been running the engine at 65% to 75% power on the x/c flights, varying
between the two at 10 to 15 minute intervals.
Any insight here will be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Randy Compton

I assume you are running mineral oil for the break-in. There was a recent
article in AOPA Pilot about breaking in a fresh overhaul, and they
recommended a multi-weight mineral oil for this period. I think it was
Phillips, but I'm not sure.

Earlier this year I had got a few quotes in the $5,000-$6,000 and that was
stripping off Imeron first. That was in the Michigan and Ohio area. The
best deals were in Canada. There is one near Saut Ste Marie (KANJ) and Echo
Bay in Canada that has done Oshkosh award winners that was in the $6,000
range.

As per the recommendation of ECI, I am using Phillips X/C 20W50 for the
break-in. ECI says that this oil is good from break-in to TBO, and if you
ever need cylinder work in the future you will not need to revert to mineral
oil while the new cylinder breaks-in.
For what its worth, my oil consumption at this point looks to be about 1
quart per every 5 to 6 hours.
Thanks,
RC

My O-320-E2G (150 hp) at 315 hrs uses a quart in 22-25 hours. It's been
that way since I got it with 110 hrs. Best oil consumption of any airplane
I've ever owned (also the first Lycoming).

I am in the just about ready to paint my RV8a and I have a quote of $4700.
The plane is still naked (the skin has no paint, no polish, no wax) and I
must take off all control surfaces and reinstall when completed. The paint
shop is well known in the Midwest, does a lot of warbirds and is not to far
from OSH. The only thing I don't like is they only use Emron which has a
lack of colors. ( The shop is in Watertown Wi. KRYV )

Hi Randy, I'm surprised at your oil consumption! I have 40 hours on mine
also and I've been using Phillips type "M" 20W50 up to now. I did my first
oil change at 25 hours and I was down a 1/2 a quart at that time. It looks I
am down about ~1/3 quart now. My engine was a first time majored 0-320 E2D
which was upgraded to 160 HP by raising the compression to 8.5 by the
overhauler. They did a 2.3 hour run-in before they shipped it to me, that
was part of the "Performance Plus" package I purchased which included
balancing rotating parts, fuel flow porting, etc.
The dipstick is marked up to 6 quarts. The flying school mechs at my
airport, told me that if you fill it up to the dipstick mark it will blow
oil. The school has a fleet of Cessnas and Piper twins and they keep the oil
level in all of them between 4 and 5 quarts. That's what I did and my oil
temperatures have not been above 195 degrees. Wiped a small amount of oil on
the belly at oil change time.
At their recommendation, I did not do any taxi tests to keep low engine RPM
to minimum. The only taxiing I did before 1st flight was from my hangar to
the fuel pumps and that was done at 1800 RPM to condition the
brakes --Dunno! maybe I'm lucky!?

When I first built my RV4, I had a noise similar to what you're talking about.
It was the .016 firewall flexing, it was irritating to say the least. I found
a fix for it though. I taxied through a field at RCR going to Karen's Restraint
and ran my right wheel into a gopher hole. It spun the airplane around, cracked
my wheel pant and put a crease in the .016 firewall. Didn't have the popping
sound anymore though. There's got to be a better fix than mine.

--> RV-List message posted by: Jerry Howell <jehowell@tampabay.rr.com>
greetings all,
I have managed to incorrectly set a pop rivet! I failed to check to
see if both the skin and spar that I was riveting were actually
attached, and as a result, I riveted only the skin. Now there is a
layer of skin/rivet head/spar - and i will have to remove a LOT of
other rivets to get easy access to it. It seems very hard to drill.
Anyone have any ideas?

I've had good luck by knocking out the center out of the rivet and the
drilling the head off. you don't have to wack hard but be persistent and
the tail will eventually out of the rivet.

I just finished drilling out a few and they are a little hard
but they will drill out. I don't know any other way of doing it.

greetings all,
I have managed to incorrectly set a pop rivet! I failed to check to
see if both the skin and spar that I was riveting were actually
attached, and as a result, I riveted only the skin. Now there is a
layer of skin/rivet head/spar - and i will have to remove a LOT of
other rivets to get easy access to it. It seems very hard to drill.
Anyone have any ideas?

Drilling is the preferred method, but if you have to, use a dremmel. Get the smallest
round tip, and try to take off all the head of the rivet. Push it on
through.

| Subject: | Oil on airplane belly |
--> RV-List message posted by: "George McNutt" <gmcnutt@intergate.ca>
--> RV-List message posted by: "Randy Compton" <rdcompton@earthlink.net>
Listers:
I now have about 40 hours since a major overhaul of my Lyc O-320. I have
been consistently getting some oil on the belly just aft of / in line with
the engine breather line. This has been happening even while doing nothing
but straight-and-level cross country type flying. It's doesn't seem to be a
lot, but just enough to make a 6-inch diameter splotch and a few run-back
lines for a foot or so. The flight-times have all been in the 1 to 2 hour
range.
------snip ------------
Any insight here will be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Randy Compton
Hi Randy
My 0-320 uses a quart in 30 hrs and I still get a bit on the belly, more
like thin dirt than a puddle, the breather drips on the exhaust pipe a bit
on shutdown.
You didn't tell us how much oil you used in the first 40 hrs. There will
always be some vapors out the breather that will condense and come out as
liquid, and it just takes a few drops if it exits into turbulent air to make
a mess.
Make sure you have a small "whistle hole" or whatever its called a few
inches up from the bottom of the breather, its intended to relieve pressure
if the exit freezes over but may also relieve any suction at the outlet. Try
repositioning the breather, there may be a vacuum at the breather exit.

Start with 3/32" bit. Drill out the centre part. You may have to twist and
re-direct the bit to keep it in the centre.
Drill 1/8" bit until the head pops off. Remove the head just like a regular
rivet.
Drill out the shank with 1/8" bit.
Good luck

You might like to checkout Blue Sky Aviation, Loris SC. (Near Myrtle Beach)
He is currently painting an RV-8. They got the contract last year for 6-7
Civil Air Patrol and did a super job on all of them. Much better than the
five other paint shops that previously flunked. All looked good initially
but after a few flights, paint was peeling from all except the Loris
contractor. You will have to fit into their schedule but the wait would be
worth it. Head honcho is Brian and a real nitpicker, thats good.
