--> RV-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" <dan@rvproject.com>
I got Van's standard heat muff with the firewall forward kit. It installed
easily...but after tightening it all down, the thing just wants to rotate
pretty freely on the pipe. It doesn't take much force to move it.
I don't see any good way to secure this thing so that it won't rotate or
slide around as a result of vibration. The hose clamps on the ends just
pull the cover tight to the ends...it's like the inner radius in the ends is
a couple of thousandths larger than the Vetterman tubes or something.
Is there a trick to keeping this sucker solid on the pipe without welding?

Hi Dan,
Try this:
Get a small piece of annealed stainless sheet (easier to bend and cut)
.020" or so thick will do.
Cut two strips about an inch wide and two or three inches long bend the
strips to fit one end under the hose clamps that are currently in place.
Next bend the rest of the strip so as to be able to use another hose clamp
to hold the strip onto the bare exhaust pipe next to the muff flange.
It will work better If you bend the outer one eighth inch ends of of the
this piece upward so the clamps cannot easily slip off the ends.
I put one of these on each end of the muff and it does not move any more.
I have not yet run the engine but fully expect to have to adjust the
tension
of the extra clamps until they settle in after being heated some.
I could send you a picture if the above is not clearly enough explained.

The last part of this post should have read:
The third method is to purchase special external star washers. These washers contain
the same internal locking tang, as the Carling Locking Rings sold by B &

to the panel and prevents rotation. Does anyone on the list know of a vendor

I've done that (the insulation at the back of the probe), and my experiments
were carefully planned to measure the heat quantity leaking in from the back.
For me, it was a small but still measurable % of the overall heat gain. As a
result of my experience and measurements, I am strictly against the plans
location for the NACA duct as a source of cockpit COOLING air (it's about 10*F
warmer than ambient) and as a result, it's a lousy location for sensing OAT as
well.
Alternate locations that will provide cool air and at reasonable ram
pressure, well- that's a matter for further experimentation and sharing with the
list,
for not all alternative locations are said to give good airflow. This makes
me a bit hesitant to go cutting new holes in my finished airframe. Insulating
the inside of the cowling sides might be the better route for me to pursue.

Good point Bob. I watched the New & Improved engine circus for years and
decided that the numbers of new aircraft engines sold do not justify any new
engine, even if the idea is perfectly valid. So I picked the one that made
the most sense and is actually available - the Mazda rotary. I counted 3
of them on the flight line at Oshkosh and was told about 3 others.
Unfortunately, the EAA really dropped the ball on the Auto Engine area this
year and they got scattered everywhere. Tom Park's turboed 20B three rotor
in a Lancair ES was the most impressive installation. My 13B powered RV-4
made its 9th consecutive trip to Oshkosh and the Hobbs rolled over to 1350
hours on the way back to Florida.
But there really was a new & improved engine at Oshkosh. Rotor-heads
everywhere are jumping for joy at the introduction of the Renesis engine
(improved version of the 13B) in the Mazda RX-8. The Renesis makes 250 HP
normally aspirated compared to 160 for the earlier 13B. These are ratings
as installed in a car, I get about 185 from the 13B when it is free of the
tripple cat converter exhaust system and other automotive accessories.
Can't wait to retrofit my -4 with the new engine so I'll probably never get
to actually wear out a rotary.

20B powered RV-8 next year at Osh for sure!

I saw the nagel engine on a test stand/dyno at OSH. I have no objective
info, but the one on display sure looked large. Just eyeballing it, I'd say
it was 5/6' in overall length (output flange to rearmost obstruction) - not
sure how you'd fit it in the place of a -540. The advantages didn't just
jump out and grab me - more cylinders/moving parts, water cooled... last -
their advertising said something about the small bore making it more suited
to lower octane. I thought compression ratio was what counted? :/ one
thing for sure, I bet it will run smooth!
Despite my scepticism, it is good to see others trying to advance the
industry.

This is the answer I got from Bendix.
Mr. Spenner,
Unfortunately not. You would need the KI 208A(066-03056-0010) for a GPS
input. Or the KI 209A(066-03056-0011). The
non-"A" versions can not accept a GPS input. If you are looking for a used
or overhauled unit, you might try Vista

equipment. Their number is 818-896-6442.

Not true IMO. I have the VM dual temp gauge setup with the OAT probe in the
NACA vent (which reads about 3-5 deg C high from the friction heating and
boundary layer heat shed off the cowling) and the CAT probe in the carb body
(warmer than OAT at partial throttle settings and cooler than OAT at WOT).

--> RV-List message posted by: "Albert Gardner" <spudnut@worldnet.att.net>
On the altimeters I have seen there is a small screw near the adjustment
knob usually going in from the side so you might have to remove the
altimeter to get at it. After the screw is removed you can pull the
adjustment knob stem out a short way. This disengages the hands from the
window so first you set the hands to the proper reading, remove the screw
and then turn the window to the proper reading. Or maybe it's the other way
around. And there may be other types of adjustment.

I read that the rotors 14% weigh less on the Renesis. Does the
complete Renesis engine also weigh less than the RX-7 engine?
Will your electronic control box work with the Renesis engine?
The Renesis has a three-port induction system with the third port
switched on at high speed. The Mazda folks claim this feature makes a big
difference in fuel economy. How do you plan to work this in the air? Could
this third port be closed for 65% economy cruise?
How much do these Renesis engines cost? Are the even available in
the USA? Do you plan to resell them, perhaps rebuilt?
Thanks in advance for the info.

Here is a link
http://www.mrkent.com/flying/altimeter/
They all adjust in a similar manner, but the exact details often
vary. Typically, the knob pulls out (or moves in) a little to make the
calibration.
On the odd-ball altimeter I have, you loosen the screw on the
knob, slip the knob away from the face a bit, re-tighten the knob, then
push it in. This allows you to move the needle without moving the numbers
in the window.

I know you were asking Tracy, but I heard someone talking about putting
together a Renesis for racing.. the number I heard was $5k crate.
Definitely not a confirmed number, though.. but they're definitely
available.

It's interesting that the FAA is calling it a midair.
According to Avweb, the RV had landed on the right side and was turning
left off the runway when the Lancair hit it.

I wonder if some of the high temperature is due to the compression of the
air into the vent and hose?

On the altimeter with the screw on the front by the knob you back the
screw almost all the way out and then slide it to the left or away from
the knob. That releases the adjustment knob so you can pull it out. Then
you can adjust the Kolsman window without moving the needles.

86" is the pitch... The diameter is either 70" or 72"... Take a look at the Sensenich
web site:
http://www2.sensenich.com/direct/vans.htm
Also, I'm pretty sure the -8 can take a 74" prop because Van is selling a new 74"
Hartzel...

Actually you don't want to remove the screw, if it's anything like other
altimeters I've had. Reseat the screw, adjust the setting in the window to the
ATIS reported value. Then back the screw out until the head is no longer within
the recess and push the whole screw (along with the brass slug it is threaded
into) straight away from of the adjusting knob axis (approx 10:00 O'clock).
Then pull the adjusting knob out slightly (to unmesh the gears) and turn the
knob until the field elevation is indicated by the needle. Push back in (to
remesh the gears), slide the screw and slug back to retain the shaft and reseat
the screw.
