    Subject: Engine for Sale: Advise sought
    vansairforce@yahoogroups.com, racaldwell@hotmail.com --> RV-List message posted by: RV8ter@aol.com do not archive For you Sunday viewing pleasure. Naturally, after I ordered my finshing kit for something else completely, a local offer came along out of the blue. The finishing kit for my 8 should be shipping any day now... Looking for advice on an almost "too good to be true" knowing full the moral of that story. Anyway, not having been through this before in any way shape or form and I'm not familiar with the ramifications of "take it apart and have the case repaired or replaced", I'm looking for engine folks who know how much potential money and time this would take. I would pay a pro to do this, obviously, so you can factor that in. How would you repair a case crack anyway? I have a lycoming book at the house which says to avoid the temptation for anyone in the field to offer that as a solution to any engine problem. I consider that a throw away but am really worried about why it would crack in the first place. Something doesn't add up to me. My current finish kit I ordered last year is for a O-360-A1A Here's some details: OK this engine is an 200 HP, Dynafocal mount, and would be type 1mount. The engine has always been here and the maintenance records are here with our IA which would discuss the situation of the engine. If I were to buy the engine I would take it apart and have the case repaired or replaced. I think a good price would be somewhere between 10,000-12,000. A new engine will cost about 32,000 at Van's. Lucky: This engine I am selling for a friend of mine is in his Mooney 201. The first part of march a new engine will be installed. The reason he is replacing the engine is that while doing an Annual on the airplane they found a small crack on the case just forward of #2 cylinder. I looked at it and to be honest I could see the crack, well he wanted to change the engine to one that has two magnetos. The engine has always been here and well taken care of. I would buy it myself if I had an airplane to put into, I might still buy it. Complete log book. The Data is: I0-360-A1B6D - Total time 2691:00 Time since overhaul 660:00 Mattituck with Lycoming new cylinders Parts included: Engine Driven Fuel pump - was replace recently. Engine Fuel Servo - Bendix - forward facing sump Starter Fuel Flow Divider and lines to cylinders, fuel nozzles Magneto - Ignition Harness Prop Governor stainless steel line to nose case Compression Check #1 79/80 #2 79/80 #3 75/80 #4 75/80 Engine has always had oil analysis and full instrumentation on all cylinders. I feel this is good engine and would make a perfect engine for a RV-7 or 8. An engine like this new is very expensive, make me an offer I cannot refuse.

    Subject: Re: Engine for Sale: Advise sought
    --> RV-List message posted by: Charlie Kuss <chaskuss@bellsouth.net> Lucky, The issue is this: Can the crack be repaired? If it can, send it to Divco in Tulsa http://www.divcoinc.com/ They charge a flat fee of $685 to completely overhaul a set of crankcases. This includes all welding, line honing, cleaning etc. They do great work and have an excellent reputation. HOWEVER, if the cases can't be legally repaired, you will need a new set of cases. These are over $3000 new. You can buy used ones for less. The problem with used cases is that according to Phil at Mattituck is this: The chances of getting a crack go up greatly once the engine's total time exceeds 6000 hours. Most of the used cases for sale have 4000+ hours. This means that you may not be able to re-use a set of high time cases once you reach TBO on the fresh overhaul. Bottom line is that new cases are the best (long run) investment. Like Clint Eastwood said: "Do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do ya?" :-) Charlie Kuss >--> RV-List message posted by: RV8ter@aol.com > >do not archive > >For you Sunday viewing pleasure. > >Naturally, after I ordered my finshing kit for something else completely, a >local offer came along out of the blue.

Needs to be around $300 or so. Which one? And where do I install the transducer? Not much room as far as I can see. Seems the ones I've checked out want the transducer on the vaccum side of the fuel pump. With the fuel pump on the inside of the firewall in the nine, and the fuel line running down the center of the cockpit floor to the fuel selecter valve, I don't see anywhere to install a transducer. How have others done it? (No luck with the archives search.) > >Chuck > > > > > > > > > >

    Subject: Re: Dynon - Rethink Internal Battery....fixed
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Ross Mickey" <rmickey@ix.netcom.com> I just got my unit back with the software fix for the "Dreaded Blue Screen" and the missing characters. I tried to get it to hang up by powering up and down and never could. I was only able to fly it for a few minutes (see other post) but it worked fine. It seems to boot up faster. I think Dynon will be putting out the new software soon. Nick was very prompt in addressing these issues. They had my unit on Monday, designed the software fix on Tues and Weds and sent the unit back on Thursday so I could have it Friday. Since I am always skeptical of software fixes ( blame Bill Gates) I also installed a switch on the battery. (Sorry Nick) This was very easy to do. If I have to replace the battery, I will have to do it again but it was easier to put the switch on the battery than the unit. My switch is always on and will only be used in an emergency, i.e. if the software hiccups. The folks at Dynon think this is unnecessary as they believe they have addressed the problem. I guess I fit Doug's adage, "If you want to sell it to a pilot, put a switch on it, if it has a light and a bell, they can't resist!" Ross N9PT

    Subject: Heated Pitot Tube Melts Tubing
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Ross Mickey" <rmickey@ix.netcom.com> After reinstalling my Dynon EFIS, I took N9PT for a test ride. As I became airborne, my AOA started screaming at me to "PUSH, PUSH...ANGLE, ANGLE" As I was in a very shallow climb and pulling 29" x 2650 rpm, I knew this was an erroneous alarm. After quieting my persistent "co-pilot", I radioed in to stay in the pattern and land. My airspeed had risen as I had climbed but didn't change as I cut power and ran through my standard approach. I landed hot and made my way back to the hanger. At first, I thought I had made a REALLY dumb mistake and hooked the pitot static lines up backward. This was not the case, as my instruments worked fine from the fuselage in. I then tried to blow through the tubing from the fuse to the pitot tube....nothing. I could suck, put my tongue on the tube and it would hold suction, not a good thing. I then went to the Piper blade, heated pitot tube and disconnected the lines. Both of the lines were plugged at the pitot tube by melted tubing. I used the stiffer poly tubing, sorry I don't have the exact name but it is the stiffer of the two you can buy from AS. Since the system worked fine the last time I flew, this must have occurred on the ground. The only thing I did after reinstalling the Dynon and installing a cooler to my SD-8 regulator was to test all my electronics. I had the pitot heat on for about 15 sec. I have never heard of this happening and will be looking for a fix that will probably involve adding a short section of non-meltable tubing at the pitot tube for about a foot. Ross Mickey N9PT

    Subject: SD-8 Regulator Cooling
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Ross Mickey" <rmickey@ix.netcom.com> I spoke with Tim at B&C for a good period on Friday discussing the potential of the SD-8 regulator overheating when in continuous use over 3 amps. I must say, after being on the RV-List for 9 years and following Bob's "All Electric on a Budget" when building my RV-6A, I was disheartened during the conversation. He said that he was unaware that Bob was recommending this alternator be used as a backup with essential buss loads of 8 amps until fairly recently. After going through all the stages of grieving, I asked what the fix was. Since the PM, SD-8 regulator needs to shed the excess loads via heat, the only fix is to cool it. I went to the local custom computer place and bought a heat sink and cooling fan made by Intel to cool CPU's. I attached this to the top of the regulator via a aluminum strap and JB Weld. It is switched to come on when I turn on the SD-8. I have no way of telling if it going to be a fix or just prolong the fatal event. My hope is that I will only need it for 30 min or so while I get down after a main alternator failure. Ross Mickey N9PT

I would suggest that you use thin wall stainless tubing for the extensions. (Stainless has very low thermal conductivity.) Run the stainless tubing through a clamp that is anchored to a rib or spar just before you transition to plastic. The clamp will tend to "wick" off any heat before it travels to the plastic tube.

    Subject: leaky AN fittings
    --> RV-List message posted by: Paul Eastham <eastham@netapp.com> Hi all, I am working on my first few flared tubing connections (fuel pick-up line) and am having some trouble. After trying a few on scrap, I am producing what look to be nice and clean cuts and flares. I am squaring the cuts on my scotchbrite wheel, deburring, then flaring with a well-oiled 37-degree Parker roto-flare tool. Sadly though, when I connect the pick-up to the bulkhead union and tighten on the nut/collar as tight as I can by hand, I get a small leak detectable by plugging one end and blowing into the other. This is confirmed with soapy water; I get a bubble emerging between the tubing and the collar. I have found no documentation of what specs a flare should meet... what am I looking for? Like I said it looks square and clean. The size of the flare itself is a little confusing to me -- I've currently got the flare OD matched to the OD of the male end.

It is switched to come on when I turn on the SD-8. Since most folks mount the regulator to the firewall, a possible solution would be to flip it over and use the aluminum firewall as the heat sink. As long as you are well away from a major heat source, this might do the trick. Be sure to use thermal grease between the regulator top surface and the firewall. If you have a stainless steel firewall this trick won't work. You may be able to move the regulator to the other side of the firewall (or somewhere else) and attach it to something large and aluminum. It would not be too hard to test this out once you had it installed. You would attach some sort of temperature sensor to the regulator, go for a flight, load up the SD-8 to full load, then watch the temperature. If the regulator stayed below the maximum allowed (120 F ???) you are all set.

    Subject: Flap motor overload?
    --> RV-List message posted by: Fiveonepw@aol.com Howdy list! I've blown the fuse on my flaps when they reach the full up position (Van's unit in my -6A) twice now in 2 days (5 amp first, tried 7.5 & still blew- yes wire is fat enough!) and I can't find anything wrong, linkage binding, wires worn etc. Only thing that is unusual is that the motor seems to be trying somewhat harder at the fully extended position (flaps up) than it does fully retracted where it seems to freewheel more easily. Should it be freewheeling easily at both ends, and shouldn't 5 amps be plenty of fuse for this? I don't recall where I got the load value, but it's wired with 18ga. Thanks! Mark Phillips -6A N51PW - 37.4 hours in 3 weeks! What an awesome machine! 8-)

Check that your flap motor does turn off when the flaps are all the way up... I assume you have some kind of limit switch that detects full up and stops the motor?

    Subject: Re: Flap motor overload?
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Stein Bruch" <stein@steinair.com> The stock Van's installations don't have a limit switch (although a few people) have done it. My guess is you probably just need to grease it. Those of us fortunate (NOT) to have taken our flap motor apart multiple times have seen what happens to the grease in these -6/6A installations. If it were me I'd first grease up the jackscrew with some good lithium grease. If it were the motor being low on grease, you'd see the problem throughout the whole extension/retraction, not just the end. With your sypmtoms, my only guess would be the jackscrew being dry at one end. Just my guess! FYI, I also have a 7.5A breaker, but it has never blown. I've had the opposite problem of my flap motor just quitting several times due to grease in the commutator/brushes from the motor....

    Subject: Flap motor overload?
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Stein Bruch" <stein@steinair.com> Just an FYI to those who don't have experience with the Van's flap motors and jack screw assemblies. There is really NO need for a limit switch on the flaps. They don't "Bottom out" at full extension or retraction, the motor just keeps spinning. They don't get loaded up, stopped, or "stalled" when the retraction or extension is complete. Most of the reasons for limit switches are to allow people to install a switch to retract the flaps without having to hold the toggle up. Also, some people do it for an indicator, but there is much better methods for indication than using limit swichtes. Other than that, there is no real need for limit switches for motor cutout or shutoff.

    Subject: Flap motor overload?
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Ed Holyoke" <bicyclop@pacbell.net> Mark, It's been a while since I set mine up, but I think that the actuator is supposed to spin free at both ends of it's travel - sort of like a clutch disengaging. That's why Van's didn't set it up with a limit switch - it's self limiting. If the geometry is such that it's still trying to move the flaps when they are fully retracted, the motor will load up and probably blow the fuse. Try lengthening the flap actuating rods so that the flaps are partially extended. Then run the motor all the way up 'til it stops moving and spins free. Then readjust the flap actuating rods to where the flaps are fully retracted. Hope that works for you.

    --> RV-List message posted by: Hopperdhh@aol.com Paul, I've found that when I tighten the flaring tool very much at all, it leaves an impression of the parting lines of the die on the backside of the flare. This could cause a leak because the flared surface would distort if you don't tighten it enough to crush this impression. Just don't tighten the flaring tool very tight at all. Then tighten the joint to spec before giving it a leak check.
