I used top quality, preformed heater hose from NAPA, which I've had
excellent service in cars with. However, after two years on the
breather line in my 6A, it started to get mushy. I used a 180 degree
section to change direction, and then used regular aircraft breather
hose. I replaced it with a metal tube I fashioned from some copper
plumbing parts. My breather line does see oil, as I fly inverted from
time to time.

Andy,
I'm assuming that your listed 18 deg advance on the electronic ignition
is in addition to the 25 deg base point. If it's not, then you are running
the timing very retarded.
Otherwise, It sounds like you have a connection problem as what you have
described for operation on just the electronic ignition is not typical.
Check the connections on all ignition leads first. The leads are resistive,
so they should ohm out to somewhere around 10,000 ohms. But if there is a
bad connection on either end, the resistance would be much higher or
infinite.
You might also be picking up some noise in the mag hole pickup device
leads. Be sure that none of your ignition leads are near this lead. Also
check the to see that your power source is for some reason intermittent.
Another area to investigate would be the spark plug gaps. Be sure that
they are somewhere near .030 or so.......
I have two of Jeff's systems on my RV-6A, and have not had any problems.
On a previous RV-6A, I had exactly your installation, and also had no
problems (in 2008 Hrs of operation)....
I wouldn't fly your plane until you have this problem fixed......
Fred Stucklen

Let me start with my base assumption. I was under the impression that
electronic ignition worked better than mags under all conditions. Less
or no RPM drop at mag check time, better burn, quicker start, etc etc
etc. So far so good?
What I see:
At 1800 rpm doing mag check, both the electronic ign and the mag give
equal drops in RPM. In flight at hi-cruise if I switch off the mag I
get VERY rough running, with backfire pop of unburned fuel until I
switch the mag back on. Turning off the electronic ign the mag works
fine by itself with a slight RPM drop. What's going on here?

mag hole sensor

I thought the fellow RVers could benefit from my experience. I saw your
blurb about the new large aluminum air vents that Van's is selling, and I was
about to order them when another builder told me that Affordablepanels.com was
selling nicer ones much cheaper. I couldn't make up my mind on which ones to
order, so I ordered a pair from Vans, and another one from Affordable Panels.
Well, after having seen them both, and I will send back the ones I bought from
Van's. I just thought I should let everyone know, so they can get them while
they are cheap.

I just went through this on my last long trip. The symptoms were the
same as yours but mine finally died completely so it was easy to trouble
shoot.
1. A bad plug will render two cylinders inop since they run on the same
coil and both plugs fire at the same time. A wasted spark system. Sort
of sucks that one plug will take out two cylinders
2. A bad plug lead will do the same as a bad plug. Usually only surfaces
at higher power settings when cylinder pressures are high.
3. A bad hall effect sensor. Check the resistance between the red and
black wire. It should be 600-800 ohms.
4. In my case, the red wire for the hall effect sensor failed and was
intermittent until it finally hard failed. A quick fix once it was found.

Richard,
Here is the AD list. For your series engine thare are 17 possible ADs.
Some of them will not apply. I would think about 6-8 of them would. The
really important ones are the ones that say do at overhaul/dis-assemble, the
oil pump AD, and the one about the accessory drive gear bolt. The text of
these ADs are available on the FAA.GOV website at:
http://av-info.faa.gov/default.asp?PG=Aircraft
Once you figure out which ADs apply then you can narrow down which SBs
apply. The total stack of SBs/SIs/SLs is about 12 inches thick so there is
no way I can send you the entire list. But if you need info on a specific
one let me know and I can email you that one.
Mike

Initially, I used automotive heater hose for my breather hose. After
200-300 hours the hose started to sweat oil. Not a big problem, other than
the hose was grimy to the touch. I replaced it with a hose that was rated
for fuel and oil service. (I got the hose at a local speed shop.) I like
the new hose a lot better.

Have you tried to see how the thing fits with the top skin clecoed on. You
may simply need to adjust some of the flutes. Also you could simply drill
all the holes in the baggage cover out to #12 instead of #19 and that would
probably let it move around enough to get all the screws in. That's easier
than trying to move the nutplates. Maybe I am misunderstanding your
question.

My thoughts exactly. I do fly with a parachute, but I certainly do not
look forward to using it.
Any ideas of how to find the solution without flying will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks Mike,
I should have mentioned that my engine is new with a manufacturing date
of 05-03-02. My interest is in knowing what ADs or SBs might apply since
manufacture. I assume that all ADs and SBs up to date of manufacture
were applied. So my concern would be any that followed.
Regards,
Richard Dudley

| Subject: | Wing wiring conduits & heated pitot tube |
--> RV-List message posted by: "David Carter" <dcarter@datarecall.net>
I'm studying my RV-6 QB wings & Dwg 10 showing aileron push tube, and other
dwgs and websites showing ways to route pitot tube tubing for Gretz heated
pitot tube.
Looks like lots of space in big lightening holes in all the ribs aft of
spar. Aileron pushtube has to go in there but seems there shouldn't be any
problem securing 1 or two small PVC pipes in there for 12volt wires to
strobes & position lights & RG-58 (0.20 inch OD) to a Bob Archer antenna in
each wing tip.
There'd be a 12 wire to landing light and 12 v wire to heated pitot in
left tip, plus air plumbing from pitot in left.
Ques 1: Has it been common practice to run wires in conduits aft of the
spar in those lightening holes? I'd secure the pvc at each end (root & tip)
with an Adel clamp. I'm thinking I'd let one pvc conduit lay on the bottom
of the lightening holes and mount the other opposite on the top side (keep
my strobe pwr wire sep from antenna cable, just in case) - I can secure that
upper conduit with 1 or more Adel clamps, starting above the inspection
plate area and outboard (that area is open on the QB wings so I'd install
the conduit before closing the wing). Seems like the pvc conduits should be
out of the way of the aileron tube in inbd half of wing.
Ques 2: Few months ago some folks reported large jumps in price of Gretz
pitot tubes. Besides salvage, is there a lower priced alternative for new
heated pitot that has any track record of reliability - or potential, if
new? Is Dynon coming out with their own heated pitot tube? I'm planning on
a D-10.
- I've reviewed websites and found the caution about wing tie down
being uncomfortably close to Gretz pitot tube, if mounted just outb'd of std
location for Van's pitot tube. My QB wings already have the square threaded
rod for the tie down eye bolts in the stock place, so I'm not planning to
move them outbd 1 bay - no access now.
- So, looks like rope would be running down and outbd from std tie down
point, right under the pitot tube, mounted slight further outbd. Been a
problem or is that a reasonable plan?
Appreciate any comments and words of wisdom on these two areas.
David

Hmm not that I know of, but then again, I don't really use IE6. There
are however a slew of settings you can play with.
Active X does make it easier to get your info, if you do not tighten up
or disable IE6 Active X controls.
problem is some websites won't work without them. I'd say, the heck with
those websites..........

--> RV-List message posted by: "Frank van der Hulst (Staff WG)" <F.vanderHulst@ucol.ac.nz>
Many people do run conduit there. From reading the RV-list, it seems
that getting the wires forward of the spar to the instrument panel might
be a bit awkward. I opted to drill new holes in the LE ribs for conduit,
and then to run wires between the fuel tanks and the spar (where the
tube to the pitot goes). I don't know how effective this is, since I
haven't actually run any wires.

This sure sounds like Stew Bergner's problem, which was eventually
traced to AFP boost pump assembly. Are you listening stewie??
I don't remember the fix but I think he disabled the purge system?

| Subject: | And When the Holes Don't Line Up? |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Kathleen (rv7)" <Kathleen@rv7.us>
OK, I got lots of advice on this. I clecoed on the top skin -- at least
enough to realize it wouldn't fit. Then I took Mike Holland's advice. He
wrote, "What you need to do is remove the scrap aluminum tabs that attach
the j-stringers to the curved bulkhead. They are pop-riveted this way for
shipping. Once you do that you will note that the ends of the j's are
longer than necessary. With this freed you will find that the skin holes
align fine." He was right. Now I see that I got excited over nothing,
well, it looked like something when the skin and the bulkhead didn't fit.
Thanks Mike for the good advice...

Subject: And When the Holes Don't Line Up?
From: Kathleen (rv7) (Kathleen@rv7.us)
--> RV-List message posted by: "Kathleen (rv7)" <Kathleen@rv7.us>
In inspecting my QB (7a) fuselage I found that (f706) cabin member has a
noticeable bend in it. When it is forced straight, the metal (f652 upper
cabin bulkhead) bows out and there isn't any reasonable way to make it all
fit. OK, I don't know how to further explain, so there is a picture or two
at http://www.rv7.us/daily040516.htm The bottom line is that the
pre-punched holes don't line up. I've decided on a fix -- redrill the holes
in the back side and move the nutplates. That won't show inside the cabin,
but I'm not sure that the problem isn't with the rib (f-706). If it is, it
would mean that the outer skin wouldn't fit. Any suggestions on how I can
determine where the real culprit is? This is the way it came from Van's.
Any ideas? Anyone else have this problem?
