I have taken off immediately behind (maybe 100 feet) a FP 180 -6 in my 180 CS 6A, and have been airborne before the lead plane. One must throttle back significantly to avoid overtaking the lead plane. However, once we are at about 120 kias, we are very equal during the climb at full throttle (I believe the other plane has a metal Sensenich). At cruise, flying side by side, he is burning about 9 and I 7.5 gph. I would suspect at least half, if not 2/3s, of this difference is my ability to lean past peak (I have FI), while the other half is the prop. I don't know the drag difference between a faired nose gear and an unfaired tail wheel, another difference. Another advantage the CS has that hasn't been mentioned is cruise noise. 2300 rpm is much quieter than 2600, startling so. I agree, if one must, trade off things that are upgradeable in the future to get a CS, you won't regret it. Alex Peterson Maple Grove, MN RV6-A N66AP 296 hours www.rvforum.org MAY 31st!!

Dick Sipp and I have 160hp RV-4's, his with a Hartzell CS and mine with a Sensenich metal 81" pitch. In a racehorse start and climb to some middling altitude, say 8000' with max power all the way, I can't keep him in sight. I could probably not stay in the same county with him. Top speeds will differ only slightly and that depends on how well the FP matches the airframe. The CS gives better altitude performance without question. Gordon Comfort N363GC

Find a glass plane that has a similar weight, same HP, same landing speed (I'd like to see that one) and I don't think you will notice a very big difference in cruise speed. Then there is the price. I still get tickled when I think about the graffiti that I saw on the inside of a Sh_ t Shack at Sun N Fun- Someone has scribed " And to think that I could have been a Glasair..." Pilots have such a great sense of humor. I call them "Scratch and Sniffs" because you itch while you build them and they smell bad while curing. I admire those who undertake building glass planes. I've seen only one crummy looking glass plane (The White Lightning factory demonstrator...dying a slow death on the ramp in the sun), but I've seen many RV's that looked like pigs with lipstick. Metal is so unforgiving. Don Alexander Striving not to build another "Pig with Lipstick" RV-8 do not archive

Laird RV-6 Yeah, but did you know that a flea can jump 4000 (?) times its body length? Maybe they call RVs "ramp flees" because while the other guys are trouble-shooting their airplanes, all the RVs are "fleeing" the field! Better get another cuppa and get to work on N1903P resvd.

High-brightness LEDs cost less than $2. You would not need more than one of the latest ones they make. Add a ~ 600 ohm 1/4 watt resistor for a few pennies to hold the current at somewhere near 20 mA and you are done. You can get the high-brightness LED (I like red) at: Http://www.allelectronics.com You might want to get a selection of viewing angles to see what works best for your application.

    Subject: First Flight N46FC
    --> RV-List message posted by: JusCash@aol.com I am proud to report that RV6 N46FC had it's first flight on Wednesday, May 7, 2003. After takeoff I orbited the airport to feel out the airplane and check the engine instruments. All instruments were in the green, the airplane felt great so I headed to the San Joaquin Valley for flight test. I did my transition training with Mike Seager in a 160HP, fixed pitch, RV6. I have to tell you, on takeoff, there was a big difference in performance between it and my 180HP constant speed RV6. As soon as I applied power the tail was up and I was flying. I was prepared for the increased performance but it was still startling to feel such acceleration. During the flight I did all of the basic maneuvers slow flight, stalls, steep turns, etc., and found no problems. When trimmed in level flight the airplane flies hands off. I did several wheel and three point landings they were none events. The airplane handled beautifully. Post flight inspection revealed a slight oil leak on the back of the engine, a loose fitting. That was all! After six years and five months it was REALLY, REALLY worth it. Now it seems like yesterday that I picked up Quick Build # 60075 from Van's old location in No. Plains, Oregon. I believe mine was the first RV6 Tip Up. To all of you still building don't get discouraged it really is worth the effort. I often thought that building this airplane would be one of the greatest achievements of my life. I now know that it is. Keep On Pounding Them Rivets Cash Copeland RV6 N46FC Hanger L 1 Hayward, Ca

    Subject: Re:insurance???
    --> RV-List message posted by: "John Helms" <jhelms@i1.net> The VanGuard Insurance program would definetely be less expensive than AVEMCO, and the coverages are much better. I don't know what your flight times are like or if you've had any losses, but here is a general idea for you: 100K value and 1 million limited to 100,000 per passenger for a 400 hour pilot with just a checkout from a CFI in RV's would be around $2300. And that'd go down at 500 hours total time, and there would be some make and model discounts available as you build time as well. The VanGuard Program's liability coverage is better than AVEMCO's per person limits because AVEMCO's coverage would limit someones recovery under the policy to 100,000 whether inside or outside the plane... And AVEMCO further limits recovery under the policy if the person injured is a family member of yours to 25% (25,000 in this case). You could accrue some automatic discounts if you insure the aircraft while it's under construction as well which would lower the quote for the flyable coverages up to 10%. We insure over 1000 RV's thru the program. You'll likely hear from many others on the list that have coverage thru us. www.nationair.com John "JT" Helms Branch Manager NationAir Insurance Agency Pleasure and Business Branch ----- Original Message ----- From: "david just david" <davlaw1@juno.com> Subject: RV-List: Re:insurance??? --> RV-List message posted by: david just david <davlaw1@juno.com> i just called for an estimate for coverage on an rv 8a im considering building??? and they quoted me aprox $5000.00 a year!!!!! holly sh__t that quote is from avemco.... for liability,and hull with /taxi, and/hanger est. value of the finished plane $100,000.00. anyone else know of lesser premiums...... anyone mind sharing what there insurance costs are?? i would be interested to know thanks dave

Bear in mind a lot goes into it other than the facts you gave, like pilot qualifications. I have an RV-6 insured for $1,000,000 each occurrence liability, $100,000 each passenger, $1,000 medical each passenger. Comprehensive $70,000 hull value. I have around 2,900 hours and 1,300 tailwheel. My premium is around 1/4 of what you mentioned. Compared to my auto insurance, that seems reasonable to me. I would shop around.

    Subject: Re:insurance???
    --> RV-List message posted by: "John Helms" <jhelms@i1.net> Keep in mind that the company Scott Smith uses (which I also have available... and he does NOT have the VanGuard Program rates available) is AIG, and they have restrictions they place on a newly completed aircraft during the flyoff period (10% deductibles and test pilots who are not owners are not covered for bodily injury). They also typically are not as competitive as the program especially for low time pilots. Normally, with really high time pilots with LOTS of time in RV's (like yourself) AIG's premiums run about the same as the programs. I use AIG for lots of different types of aircraft... they're a great company (and I'm their 3rd largest broker) they just aren't as competitive as the program on RV's.

Bear in mind a lot goes into it other than the facts you gave, like pilot qualifications. I have an RV-6 insured for $1,000,000 each occurrence liability, $100,000 each passenger, $1,000 medical each passenger. Comprehensive $70,000 hull value. I have around 2,900 hours and 1,300 tailwheel. My premium is around 1/4 of what you mentioned. Compared to my auto insurance, that seems reasonable to me. I would shop around.

And contrary to popular belief, they are a joy to fly. It's not an RV, but it's a different mission as well! This would make a great tailwheel trainer and something to beat the flying bug while building your RV. 100 MPH at 5 GPH. Listed at $20,000 will take $18,000. Needs an annual, but runs great. http://www.kitlog.com/cessna140.htm for more info.

    --> RV-List message posted by: "John Helms" <jhelms@i1.net> Just a suggestion.... don't throw premium numbers around without informing people of the type of plane (TW vs. Trike can make a big difference), the value of the plane (your 'rate' that your charged gets multiplied by that value and can differ vastly) and your hours (total, TW if its not a nosedragger, and RV time) Without those things (at least) your merely going to confuse yourself and others.

    Subject: Re:insurance???
    --> RV-List message posted by: "John Helms" <jhelms@i1.net> I asked Ken and got permission from him to explain a bit about the differences (thanks Ken). His is a TW aircraft... not a trike like in the example... so his rate is a bit higher. His value is higher than in the example too. The rate you're assigned due to your pilot experience gets multiplied by your value. So, while Ken is higher time than in the example, his rate is a tad higher (because it's TW) and it's being multiplied by $120,000 not $100,000. Those things can vastly affect the premium that's charged.

    --> RV-List message posted by: "Konrad Werner" <Connywerner@wans.net> Phil, I don't think your statement is correct (off by 1+ hp). In excess of 200hp (but not right at 200hp) requires a high performance endorsement, I believe. And to Scott, Read about the operation on a constant speed prop, and the learning curve is instantaneous. There is really nothing to it, once you understand the principles of operation of a CS! During my flight training I transitioned from C-150's & C-172's to a C172 with a 180hp/CS Combo in it! Wow to increase in climb and acceleration, and the mental transition took only minutes!

If it > was not for that a table is fairly easy to get. One way to estimate percent power is to carefully lean to peak, and look at fuel burn. This assumes some things, but is reasonably close. Your fuel burn should be something around .45 pounds/hour/horsepower. So, a 200 hp engine running at 75% would be 150 hp. That works out to be about 150*.45=68 pounds fuel, or about 11 gal/hr. I probably have the .45 a little off, but it obviously depends on many factors. Alex Peterson Maple Grove, MN RV6-A N66AP 296 hours www.rvforum.org MAY 31st!!! Don't be the only one not there!!!

    Subject: jABIRU 8 CYLINDER ENGINE.
    --> RV-List message posted by: "MICK MULLER" <MULLERPHARM@bigpond.com> jabiru Australia have released their new 8 cylinder 5.1 litre (ok liter for our American brethren) for production`. They are currently in the process of building a firewall forward package for RV, specifically using the RV6, but suggesting that the package will cater for the RV7, 8 and 9. Not being an expert in engines, I presume it will be longer than say a lycoming9because of extra cylinders). What affect might this longer nose have on performance - ie. weight and balance and the attitude in straight and level flight. Thanks, Mick Muller (RV9a builder in Oz)

I recall information on the Jabiru website saying that the engine was extremely close in dimensions to the O-360 series. There are 8 cylinders instead of 4, but they are smaller cylinders to start with. Currently the Jabiru engine is running neck-and-neck with a used Lycoming for my engine choice. In a couple of years when I have to make the decision, i'm hoping there'll be a few Jabiru's flying that will be able to provide some useful performance/reliability data... -RB4 -- --------- Rob Prior rv7 "at" b4.ca ----------------------------- Stop dreaming...

For 75% cruise and below leaned to peak EGT a BSFC of 0.42lb/hp/hr is pretty much the limit, so you may see slightly higher fuel flow numbers than listed for these power settings. If you are seeing lower gph, then your engine doesn't make 200hp.
