For the last 8 years I have been manufacturing and selling the Koger SunShade and have always shipped the same or next day and have been telling them, just put a check in the mail. The RV people have been outstanding and I have not lost a cent with anyone. I sell a good number of shades to people that have other types of planes and many of these people do not play by the same rules that the RV people do. I have been beat out of a couple of shades to an out of the country aircraft manufacture. I have had to send bills and ask others in their type of aircraft groups for help to get paid for my shades. I now have on the books Peter Hebert DMD from Stowe, VT that I special made a shade for his Lancair Legacy N23PH. Thanks to the list for the gov information, it shows that he just got his N number 6/03/04. He must be very busy for he has not returned a couple of account due and e-mail notices for payment. When a person states that they will put the check in the mail and don't it does make us wonder if our method of doing business is correct. For over 20 years I have been RV ing and it goes back to Van for his honest dealings and his outstanding plane designs. Ralph Koger ALSO: I have developed a 46" long sunshade for the RV-8 or any tandem type canopy, and will be showing it at Oshkosh.

I finally put it in the plane last week and after using it I suggest you add the following statement to your installation directions: "Take the sunshade out of the box and install it IMMEDIATELY. Don't wait." I can't believe I've been flying for a year in Arizona without the shade I could have had. Great product, fits well and doesn't interfere with my Lightspeed headsets.

Donald did post Steve Dinieri's e mail address though and I sent him an E mail this morning. Maybe Donalds right and numerous mailings from listers could at least let him know this behaviour has consequences.

If mr Phipps has not been paid, he still owns the rudder. I think Oshkosh would be a nice place to very carefullyremove the rudder if Mr. Dinieri makes the trip. We need to be careful not to damage the aircraft, since our intent is to only get Mr Phipps back his rightfully owned property. > > While I sympathize with anyone "getting screwed" I don't think the above is funny even tongue in cheek Don. While most of you know that I replaced the rudder on my RV-6 with an RV-7 rudder and stabilizer some of you may not know why. Last year at Van's homecoming flyin someone severely damaged the rudder on my RV-6. I of course being the great safe flight instructor jumped in my airplane and took off. (very important lesson #1 ALWAYS DO A WALK AROUND AND PRE-FLIGHT)climb was fine but when I leveled out I knew I had a problem the airplane went into a left roll and it took a lot of rudder and aileron to fly straight. When I landed I found the trailing edge of the rudder was pushed over about two inches and the skin was torn where it had been hit. Of course no one said a word to me, no notes, nothing. This is one of those situation that if I had crashed no one would have known why or understood. I can see it now, he probably had a medical problem, this seems to be a catch all for any unexplained crashes. I post this for a couple reasons. #1 don't be stupid like I was and jump in your airplane with out at least a quick walk around. #2 Please if you damage someones airplane at least leave a note or try to notify someone. While I don't like my airplane damaged I understand accidents can happen where damage can occur. I certainly would have a lot more respect for someone that came to me and admitted they did some damage.

Then I buy stuff- lots of stuff. (I sure hope Stein got my check last week, I told my wife to mail it) Maybe rather than do anything to the plane, Just hang a sign on the prop like the EAA "dont touch" signs, telling the story for all to read.

And he is very correct about the walk around. Just get in a habit of it. It takes less than a minute to walk around and "look" at your plane to see if anything has changed visibly since the last time you looked at it.

While most of you know that I replaced the rudder on my RV-6 with an RV-7 rudder and stabilizer some of you may not know why. Last year at Van's homecoming flyin someone severely damaged the rudder on my RV-6. I of course being the great safe flight instructor jumped in my airplane and took off. (very important lesson #1 ALWAYS DO A WALK AROUND AND PRE-FLIGHT)climb was fine but when I leveled out I knew I had a problem the airplane went into a left roll and it took a lot of rudder and aileron to fly straight. When I landed I found the trailing edge of the rudder was pushed over about two inches and the skin was torn where it had been hit. Of course no one said a word to me, no notes, nothing. This is one of those situation that if I had crashed no one would have known why or understood. I can see it now, he probably had a medical problem, this seems to be a catch all for any unexplained crashes. I post this for a couple reasons. #1 don't be stupid like I was and jump in your airplane with out at least a quick walk around. #2 Please if you damage someones airplane at least leave a note or try to notify someone. While I don't like my airplane damaged I understand accidents can happen where damage can occur. I certainly would have a lot more respect for someone that came to me and admitted they did some damage.

I have no good explanation for that, it's just my experience with several different 200hp IO-360s in different planes. So when somebody says "such and such works fine on my O-360 or XP-360," it's really an apples and oranges comparison (in my opinion). I had poor experience with the 7-row Aero Classics oil cooler that Van's shipped me with the 200hp IO-360 FWF kit. I believe they may have changed what they're shipping with the FWF kit now, but I didn't get enough cooling out of that Aero Classics model. I switched to the Stewart Warner 8406R 6-plate oil cooler, which has the same footprint as the smaller Aero Classics, and despite its "small" size, it seems to be so much more efficient. Just a direct swapout resulted in an average of 5% lower oil temps. It runs too cool in moderate climates if anything. In hot climates it seems to do the job pretty well. I urge you to read my account of the oil cooler swap-out here: http://www.rvproject.com/20040519.html As of today, I won't buy anything but Stewart Warner oil coolers going forward if I have an option. In my opinion it's worth the higher price for a more efficient, better designed oil cooler -- or at least one that works better in my installation. If I were doing it over again, I might consider a larger Stewart Warner oil cooler, but it might be overkill. When I was flying in the "cold" northeast the other day, my oil temp wouldn't go above 174F when the OAT at altitude was down in the 30s and 40s F. In hot climates it will climb up to 215F on prolonged climbs, but it does settle back down into the 190s shortly after levelling off and picking up speed. I think this size and efficiency is a good compromise for the average climate around here (SoCal). Best of luck, )_( Dan RV-7 N714D http://www.rvproject.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "J. R.

I have been flying my RV-7A with the 200 HP IO-360-C1E6 (like A1B6 now) for only a week in the hot summer in Indiana. The oil reaches 230 deg. F. in any kind of climb or even level flight at 24 inches/ 2400 RPM with OAT at 85 deg. We are 850 ft. MSL here. I feel like I'm having to baby the engine to keep the oil temp down. The cyl. heads are OK -- never over 400 deg. The engine is not broken in yet. I have a firewall mounted 13 row cooler from Niagara Air Parts -- their part no. 20006A -- as in Greg Hales RV-8. (Search for Greg Hale using your browser for a picture.) My cooler sits at about a 45 degree angle to the firewall making the airflow into it not quite direct into the fins. I am feeding an aluminum shroud that I fabricated (which is less than perfect) with 4" scat, but several people have looked at it and most say that it should work. I just ordered the 11 row 10611R Stewart Warner cooler from Pacific Oil Coolers, Inc. which is the same size as the 20006A. It will be a week before it gets here from LA, but I'll post the results then. I really like having the oil cooler on the firewall as opposed to the baffle from a vibration standpoint -- even if I have to go to 5 inch scat! I have considered lowering the exit scoop an inch because of the poor airflow of the cluttered exit area with the 7A's nosegear tubing, and all kinds of other things, blocking the exit area, but decided to try the SW cooler first. I would be very glad to hear from others having this problem and what they did about it. There's no use having 200 HP if you can't use it. Dan Hopper RV-7A (Flying -- 8 hrs.)

I seem to recall going through many hundreds of feet of 22 gauge alone on building up the panel harness (full IFR). Best is to draw a sketch of the plane, and add where things go such as lights, etc. Then estimate the length from the panel, for example, to the device. Make a table for the wire, and add up the length estimates of the different gauges. It is a lot further from the panel to the wingtips than one thinks, also.

It makes life a lot easier if you can just rip off a piece longer than you'll need and trim to length later... and not worry about running short. It's like clecos - once I realized I could bury myself in clecos for a couple hundred bucks I quit fighting it and bought a bunch. You can do the same with wire. Wiring is too tedious and the wire is too cheap, so don't aggravate yourself by skimping.

I have no good explanation for that, it's just my experience with several different 200hp IO-360s in different planes. Dan, One difference (I believe) is that the angle valve engine has nozzles which spray oil on the underside of the pistons to enhance cooling. This, of course puts more BTUs into the oil to be removed by the cooler. Bart at Aerosport told me that these could also be installed on the parallal valve engine during the build.

Then I added a "cool collar" around the oil filter and a shroud to carry cool air to it and saw some minor improvement. Later, I enlarged the hole in my baffles feeding the cooler and that did make a meaningful difference. My take is that getting enough air to the cooler is very important. If you have an "old" Positech, change it out - the factory will send you the new style for free. Otherwise, do whatever it takes to increase the airflow to your cooler. Finally, there is the engine break-in period. Being ancient technology, these engines are somewhat self-machining, and will have lower oil temperatures when they are fully broken in than for the first 50 or even 100 hours.

I have been flying my RV-7A with the 200 HP IO-360-C1E6 (like A1B6 now) for only a week in the hot summer in Indiana. The oil reaches 230 deg. F. in any kind of climb or even level flight at 24 inches/ 2400 RPM with OAT at 85 deg. We are 850 ft. MSL here. I feel like I'm having to baby the engine to keep the oil temp down. The cyl. heads are OK -- never over 400 deg. ______________________________________________________________________ For what it's worth, on my IO-360 A1B6 powered RV-8, I have been using 2 Seetrab (Sp ?) coolers piped in series. Never had an airplane before where the oil temp.stayed so perfect under all conditions. It runs 190 to 193 winter or summer, I have seen 196 after a long climb. Seetrabs are made in Sweeden I believe and are inexpensive @ around $80 at the time. The reason for the higher oil heat load on this engine is that the piston bottoms are partially cooled by oil jets ( this probably also accounts for the typically higher oil consumption than the 0-360 or 0-320). One Seetrab is plenty for the other engines. My coolers are bolted to the engine mount and enclosed in a fiberglass shroud fed by a 3" duct from the right rear baffle Bill RV-8 N48WD Tiger-Kat ________________________________ Message 40 ____________________________________ Time: 06:50:09 PM PST US From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com Subject: RV-List: Initial electrical set up --> RV-List message posted by: Hi everybody, I'm just starting to do the electrical side of my RV6 and I have no experience at all in this area.

That will get you a good start. The breakers are spaced 1 inch apart and the buss bar has holes on 1 inch centers that join one side of all the breakers. In other words drill holes in a line in the panel one inch apart, and mount the breakers in those holes, then attach the buss bar between the breakers. I think you can save money if you shop carefully. The Vans wiring kit seems too expensive to me. It would help if you have some very heavy duty crimpers to crimp the heavy starter and battery wires -- 4 ga., I think. The kit from Vans has lots of extra heavy gauge wires already made up. Anyone who has used their wiring kit will have some extra ones. Mine are spoken for! On the RV-7, the battery is mounted to the forward side of the firewall, and the master and starter relays are mounted to the battery tray.

CB's cost more but some folks really like them. Don't forget that there is also a CB style that has a rocker or toggle switch instead of a plunger and can double up as a switch/CB combo. There are some large differences in the physical size (and cost) of both CB's and switches.
