    Subject: Experimental Engines VS Certificated Engines & Insurance Rates
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Steffensen Mark (swr1mas)" <swr1mas@ups.com> Listers, I have been following this thread for the past several days, & just have to comment. I have a Lycoming IO-360 A1A 200hp engine in my 8A, it provides fantastic performance etc. I am very happy with the engine and aircraft. I am assisting several RV builders here in Atlanta with their 6A & 7A respectively. We are deeply evaluating the merits of engines for each of their missions etc. I initial based on all I have read/learned recommended the Superior XP360 product, if it was available when I made my engine decision I would have bought the XP360. However, both of these builders have contacted JT Helms at Vangard Insurance to inquire as to insurance cost with the Experimental engine VS Certificated Lycoming engine. The cost of insurance is significantly higher for a RV with a Experimental engine as compared to the Certificated Lycoming engine. I am not saying ill/negative of the Superior Product, as a matter of fact, I believe the Superior engine is the best overall value today in a RV engine, but just check with your Insurance provider to ensure that you don't get a big surprise prior to that first flight. I understand that Superior is in the process of FAA certification of their product, which I would imagine negate the insurance differential once certification is issued.

I'm keep wanting to buy one, but am afraid Im going to have to send it back. Where do these tow bars attach on our nose gear?? Any specific ideas/part numbers/suppliers out there?

    Subject: 6A Tow Bar...
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Carl Froehlich" <carlfro@erols.com> Kurt, I made a tow bar from a 10' piece of 1/2" copper water pipe. The double female fitting is exactly the right size to fit over the tow bar bolts. A spring between the two tow bar arms provides the tension. I used 45 degree fittings to make the tow bar forks come together, then 90 degree fittings at the end to make a handle. It works much better that the Cessna type tow bars I tried, costs less than $10, and only took a couple of hours to make.

    --> RV-List message posted by: "Elsa & Henry" <elsa-henry@darlor-watch.com> Kyle, Have you checked the voltage drops in your starter wiring? If not, connect a voltmeter between your battery negative terminal and the casing of the starter and measure while cranking. Then repeat the process between the battery positive terminal and the starter terminal.Add the two readings --You may be surprised what you find! Cheers!!----Henry Hore

    --> RV-List message posted by: "Rick Jory" <rickjory@msn.com> On this same subject, any 8A (aft mounted battery) drivers having cranking problems? I have a 0360-A1A with C/S prop, standard (via Vans/Lyc) SkyTec starter. I started out (no pun intended) with a Concord . . . then a Odyssey. It seems if the battery is topped off (e.g. charged before flight), all works okay, but any slight deterioration and no joy?

    --> RV-List message posted by: "Gannon, Terence" <Terence.Gannon@trican.ca> 'Listers -- I'm contemplating finishing my -6 firewall prior to beginning assembly using a technique I call 'scallop polishing' -- it might have some other name of which I'm not aware. Y'know, it' the technique that uses a series of overlapping circles that when complete results in a pattern roughly resembling a scallop shell. (The most famous example of this technique is the cowl of the Spirit of St. Louis -- "aaaaah, so THAT'S what he means!"). I was wondering if anybody has either done this, or has any experience with this technique in some other application. My current plan is to program a CNC router to do the job, and also to use NO other treatment or coating for the firewall once complete.

He made mine, a nice job, made out of #4130, light, and fits across the baggage compartment. Plugs into the hex sockets of the nose-wheel cap-screws. He makes them to fit the original kit pants or the wider new design ones. The last Van's Accessories Catalog I have is the 2000 one and he's listed there under "Other Suppliers" Cheers!!----Henry Hore

    Subject: Re: superior engine quote
    --> RV-List message posted by: Scott Brumbelow <csbrumbelow@fedex.com> The engines and prices from Superior are "new"... For what it is worth, I took delivery of my O-360 B1A2 a couple of months ago. Superior offered me the choice of having Aerosport Power, America's Aircraft Engines, or Mattituck do the build. I chose America's Aircraft Engines primarily because I had talked to them at Oshkosh, I had seen them build one up at one of the forum, and their shipping was going to be cheaper than AeroSport. Mattituck got ruled out while I was at Oshkosh. Anyway, Superior and America's worked with me on getting an Ellison Throttle Body installed - Superior kept the carb and gave me credit, and America's built up and test ran the engine with the Ellison. The workmanship seems to be outstanding, and everyone I dealt with at Superior and America's was super. America's was particularly good at keeping me informed regarding status, etc. Needless to say, I am (so far) please with my decision.

I've read/heard mostly negative opinions about this system. But I have an open mind. What are the pros and cons of this vs. standard carb and fuel injection?

    --> RV-List message posted by: "thomas a. sargent" <sarg314@earthlink.com> Terry: I knew a fellow who redid the dash board in his car and did a nice looking job of engine turning with a large dowel chucked in a drill press. He fastened some steel wool to the end of the dowel and just pressed it against the aluminum turning at a low speed. This requires a lot of practice on scrap first, of course. And some method of accurately indexing the piece in a regular grid of positions. -- Tom Sargent

I found that the speaker magnet affected the magnetic compass to a very large degree, so be careful where you mount it. I seem to remember that the compass was affected even with the speaker mounted in the seat back.

    Rates --> RV-List message posted by: JRWillJR@aol.com Mark, I spoke to several insurers including Falcon who I have my "construction" insurance through. I was told that they will insure the XP-360 engine as if it were a Lycoming. It is an "aviation" type engine is the wording they used. I was also told a Subaru is not an "aviation" type engine. The insured cost was the same. If the company is not familiar with these engines they may well quote a higher price just like they do with a Subaru. The fellow I spoke with knew exactly what I was talking about and said they had several insured. Unless something has changed since I spoke to them a month or so ago I am expecting the insurance costs to be the same. Really, there is nothing experimental about an engine built from all PMA parts.

    Subject: Re: 'Scallop' Polishing Firewall
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Ross Mickey" <rmickey@ix.netcom.com> I did this to my firewall. Here is how I did it. The tool I used to make the "scallops" was a 2" diameter scotchbrite wheel chucked in a standard drill. I made a "jig" out of a piece of wood lathe that was slightly longer than the firewall is wide. I measured off 2 inch marks on the lathe and made a grove the size of the mandrel that holds the scothbrite wheel along the edge of the lathe at the 2" intervals. I clamped the jig 1 inch below the top of the firewall and scuffed circles across the firewall using the groves. I moved the jig down 1 inch and over 1 inch and repeated the scuffing. This gives the fish scale look. Continue to the end. This took more time than I had originally thought. Stainless steel is tough. I am reciting this from my memory of what I did 8 years ago so if the details aren't quite right at least you have the general idea.

    Subject: external speaker
    --> RV-List message posted by: mstewart@qa.butler.com I have my Rat Shack speaker mounted to the upper Right baggage wall of my 6A. I bolted it directly to the wall, and drilled holes in the wall to let the sound out, much like a perforated dashboard. I can hear mine in flight no problem, although I rarely use it for that. Only time in flight I use it is when my ears hurt on a long trip, I take my headsets off for a while and push the speaker button on the panel so I don't miss anything while IFR. I use it when I am out of the plane and want to hear whats going on, like at Osh, SnF, or when Im waiting for my buddies to arrive at my airport and I want to hear them come in. Nothing better than sitting in the folding chairs at SnF listening to all the airshow stuff through that nice speaker, instead in the portable. Plus others can hear also. Wired to my audiopanel. http://www.mstewart.net/michael/rv/ Go to Finishing, Interior, last picture, you can see it mounted on the baggage wall.

Your going to build one so just send the check and get that tail coming. Your workmanship will be better if you don't go for the ride. You will be more patient and do a better job of riveting. If you take the ride you will be all excited and tackle that tail with way too much exuberance. I am speaking from experience. I was happy with motorcycles, snowmobiles, hunting and fishing until this dreadful activity began running my life. Now I have to duck out of work at lunch to get my fix at Home Depot and Harbor Freight just to tide me over until I can get home and back to ignoring my wife in the solitude of the garage. From what I can tell there is no relief in sight. I know a guy that has built four of these F*&%ing things. Just get out the check book and start bleeding. P.S. I wouldn't have it any other way!
