George, I have operated without a spinner for several hours without any
problems. YMMV depending upon
your cooling system.

George,
I don't foresee any cooling problem operating without a prop spinner.
However, one thing you might want to be aware of. I was operating my engine
without the spinner during ground runup at WOT throttle when I hear a "bang"
and saw a blur fly from the front of the aircraft. I discovered that having
neglected to safety wire the spinner attachment "ears" together that there
was sufficient force (either air flow or centrifugal) to rip one of the
aluminum "ears" off its attachment to the spinner back plate. So my
suggestion is that you use safety wire to wire the ends of the "ears" to
each other (to keep the force from spreading them to where the better catch
the airflow) before doing runups without the spinner (or else remove the
spinner back plate).
FWIW

For appearance and convenience reasons, I'm considering installing a
bent whip antenna under the fuselage of a VFR 6A slightly aft of the
main spar. However the proximity of the gear legs (~3' away) and the
antenna's 3.0 VSWR are of concern. Comments from those of you have
experience with a bent whip antenna mounted under the fuselage would be
appreciated.

Jack:
That is where I have a similar com antenna mounted.
Dunno what the VSWR is, but I have no trouble talking 100 miles air to
air on a 2 watt walkie-talkie.

| Subject: | hidden pitot tube |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Evan and Megan Johnson" <evmeg@snowcrest.net>
A question for those of you in the know....I was looking at a Diamond aircraft
this morning and a friend pointed out that the pitot tube is completly hidden
in the leading edge of the wing...just a 1/4 hole!? Can this be done on an RV
wing? It would be cool to have no pitot sticking out in the wind, but I dont know
if the front of the leading edge is undisturbed air. It certainly is as it
passes over the leading edge. Instinct tells me that the air pressure would be
changed right at the leading edge and the airspeed readings would be inaccurate....but
Diamond does it. Hmmmmmm any thoughts?
Thanks ...Evan

Aircraft Spruce sells them part number on package says "CT03 CHT probe

The invoice has description as "@64383 EFIS CHT Probe - Bayonet."
I will warn you that they are not cheap and they were back ordered for
several months.

that might do the job?

Jack,
The SWR may be OK in the air. The proximity to the ground may be causing it
to be high.

I'm a believer. Great strength on the ground, and the best range in

6A with bottom bent whip. It is in midst of baggage compartment.

For your information, Cessna did this on the Pressurized Skymaster also, but
they installed the pitot holes in the leading edge of the wing strut and it
works fine. In addition to the unconventional pitot source it is also heated and
certified for IFR operations.
Whether or not it would be satisfactory on an RV wing is questionable.
