The firewall forward package is about the same as Vans with regard to engine mount and cowl but the installation is considerably simpler and will/should reflect a lower final cost. Apart from the single lever control the engine comes with inbuilt oil cooler, and it's water cooled so no friging about with air baffling. A data logging system is available to monitor engine vitals, this is bussed to a cockpit display via a single RS232 connection.

No surface prep is necessary assuming you'll have the usual rivets thru the plexi. Wipe any oil off the plexi with rubbing alcohol. Mix the Proseal, put it in a baggie, snip a small hole and squeeze a bead onto the canopy frame, cleco the whole mess together and clean up the squeeze out with the alcohol. The Proseal will greatly stiffen the frame and prevent squeaking and leaks.

In both cases I installed a minimum of #6 screws that basically only hold the glass in place until the goop dries, and the interior if you have any around the glass.. Just be sure to put a good bead of pro-seal on the glass, such that , when it's compressed by the screws, there aren't any air pockets (or later, water leaks)... Scuffing the glass or mating metal edges isn't necessary. I used lacquer thinner as the cleaning agent, but tried to minimize it's contact to the glass, then rinsing the glass with alcohol afterwards. Always use clean cotton rags on the glass to avoid scratches.... Fred Stucklen RV-6A N926RV Reserved Howdy list- I will be bonding the rear bow of my tip up canopy to the bubble with pro-seal, and also the front edge of the rear window to the rollbar with the same glorious goop. If anyone has experience with using pro-seal to bond to plexiglas, particularly with surface prep on the plastic, such as scuffing the surface of the plastic, etc., please let me know! There are a number of references in the archives that this is done on Pitts canopies (canopys?) but I would appreciate any advice from anyone who has done this. Also, is acetone the preferred weapon for cleaning the plexi prior to bonding? Thanks!

There is an AD for Ercoupes to replace aluminum fittings that attach to the gascolator after several were found with cracks in the aluminum nut. Like Larry said, the steel ones don't cost that much more than aluminum.

I'll reproduce it here: "HOSE FITTINGS: The sample firewall forward drawing shown in the fifth issue of '98 has one correction/change. The call-out for the carb fitting was for a steel fitting AN822-6. This fitting is slightly larger than an aluminum fitting and does not provide enough threads in the carb. We checked with Lycoming and they do not have a problem with an aluminum AN822-6D or an AN816-6D fitting being used in this application." Well, I had a steel one but not yet installed. I tried it on my carb and sure enough Van's statement was correct. I sent it back and got an aluminum one instead and is now flying.

I intend to use one of the two due to working constraints. I've seen and sprayed the 988 and intend to use it unless Marhyde has a distinct advantage, which I'm unaware of. I can find no direct comparison between the two in the RV-List Archives. Perhaps I just don't know how to search them effectively.

Rutan had all of us Long-EZ builders change all of the Aluminum AN fittings to steel that were mounted ON THE ENGINE or attached to a flexible hose when a builder had one crack and leak fuel while in flight! I seem to recall however, that the oil cooler fittings where not changed since they were much more massive and considered not prone to cracking.

Thanks, Matt RV-7 (Just Beginning-Obviously) Matt, There is a lot of information on primers in the archives. I'm not intending to start another primer war, however, I have seen some mis-application of the self-etching primers such as Sherman Williams 988, Mar-Hyde, SEM, etc. If your intention is to use one of these types of primers on the interior of the aircraft to protect against corrosion, this primer is not self-sealing. It is meant to be sealed with a primer sealer or topcoated with paint to provide a vapor/moisture barrier to the metal. For a primer that does seal and can be left as the "top coat", the best choice would be one of the 2 part epoxy primers, however they are definitely are more labor intensive.

As many of the engine experimenters have discovered installing water cooled engines, the baffling around the radiator(s) is just as critical as baffling around an air cooled engine. There likely will be more fiberglass work inside the cowling to do in order to direct the cooling air to the radiator and out. Not a bad thing, just required. Cooling air going around a radiator is only good for one thing -- drag.

If you're looking for hard and fast dogma you are on the wrong list ; ) We can even agree on what day of the week it is. If you want just another opinion, my personal policy is that if the fitting is on the engine, is -6 or smaller and is supporting a cantilevered load greater than just the weight of an attached hose, then it should always be steel or corrosion resistant (stainless) steel. Senders should not be directly mounted on the engine. -GV (RV-6A N1GV 590hrs) ________________________________ Message 32 ____________________________________ Time: 07:31:29 PM PST US From: "John Starn" Subject: Re: RV-List: TLC - Junkyard Wars - "Do the Wright Thing" --> RV-List message posted by: "John Starn" EAA Chapter #768, Apple Valley Calif., has a heads up on this one.

My Beech Debonair has aluminum fuel lines & fittings FWF and they have been there for 38 years and 4900 hours apparently without a problem. Your tech advisor might be well advised to recommend what works rather than plowing new ground. IMHO Now if you had a situation where you might be concerned about tiles coming off on re-entry..... K.

Chemistry and all, what do you think of the builder who is using acetone on his plexi?? Isn't acetone ethyl ethyl ketone? I figure they called it acetone to keep people from calling it 'EEK'. K. H.

OK guys, I think I have decided on tandem over side by side. The RV7 is sweet, but I know that I'll be alone 90% of the time, just like now, in my spam can. Given that, the RV8 is the logical choice because of the advanced kit (over the RV4) and the fact that I'm 6'3" and 250 lbs. Now, I would like to ask all RV8/8A builders, past and present, why did you choose the RV over a Harmon Rocket or an F1 Rocket? Also, if there are any Rocket builders lurking out there, what made you decide to go with your rocket over the RV8/8A? I'm not looking to start a war, I really just want to hear a well thought out debate from those who know more than I do, (read "anyone who has begun the process of doing what I'm about to do").
