| Subject: | Collingwood - Gathering of the Classics |
--> RV-List message posted by: Roger Embree <j.embree@sympatico.ca>
Southern Ontario RVators,
Due to the poor weather yesterday, the annual event at Collingwood was a
bit of a bust. After the heavy rain stopped, about a dozen of us pushed
our planes out for the public to view. The only classic to fly in was a
beautiful C170 from Burlington which arrived late in the day. Mine was
the only RV, so I had to answer the Q's about Van's machines. Many of
you might not know that at the last minute the organizers changed the
format to a full two day event. Please show up today and help me answer
those questions. I am looking out the window and there is nothing but
clear blue up here, so get going!
There is a beautiful example of a 3/4 scale storch on the field for any
of you who have never seen one.
Regards,
Roger Embree
RV-4 CGIRH Alliston, Ontario

apparently lycoming is improving it's design of the piston family engines:
a quote from an article from the EAA Airventure Today says it all:
""Lycoming points to the success of its IO-390-X, introduced at EAA
AirVenture 2003, as proof of the success of its technology plan. "This is
the most powerful, turbocharged, normally aspirated engine we've ever
brought to market," said Wolf.""
That's a truly amazing technological achievement, a turbocharged normally
aspirated engine.......

Has anyone taken advantage of the D10 --> D10A upgrade offered by Dynon?
Was it worth the hassle and money? Is it truly a clean swap, or do you have
to monkey with the existing D10 wiring harness (ie, output to the
transonder)?

I had this very conversation with Van's at OSH this past week. It seems
that it's okay and within design parameters to balance the left and right
elevators as a unit, despite the lack of torsional rigidity of the system.
Their design accounts for this possibility.

Hi,
The D10A only outputs serial transponder data (if that's what
it's called) whereas the D10 outputs parallel. This tells me
that the wiring will need to be changed, if the upgrade is
truly to a D10A.

Howdy-
To answer your questions directly, Yes; None; Neither; Nope.
To expand a little: If you're gonna fly at night, the two things you will
need are position lights and anti collision lights. The viewing angle
requirements for these are shown in the Aircraft Spruce catalog lighting
section. To achieve the upward coverage specified, Van's sheared wingtips
generally require a standoff such as can be found in the Van's accessory
catalog. Either the 2 unit all-in-one wingtip variety or the more
conventional 3 position lights will work fine.
With regard to the strobe / beacon issue, the regs specify either an
approved aviation red or aviation white anti collision light system. This
can be an older style red incandescent beacon, a newer style strobe through
a red lens, white wingtip strobes, a white beacon (I believe Beech has done
this in the past), or whatever. The essential elements are that it not be
a steady light, that it be visible, and it be either red or white. Soooo,
strobes are fine, a beacon is fine, and both together are (at least from a
regulatory perspective) overkill.
As to the ability to see the strobe / beacon from any direction, in a
previous life I flew a few 152's that had a beacon on top of the fin and no
strobes at all. The wing, stabilizer, and fuse blocked quite a bit of fwd
and downward viewing angle. As an aside, I have also flown at least one
piper product that had wingtip strobes but no beacon.
For my own part, I elected to go with no beacon and the all in one wingtip
units from Whelen. Having viewed them side by side with the Aeroflashes I
felt Whelens put out more light, which is of course the whole idea. Also,
the wingtip units will eliminate one more potential reason for my larger
than average carcass to have to crawl into the tailcone again. Were I to
do it over, I'd probably use the less expensive Whelen spin off unit
recently mentioned.
YMMV,
FWIW,
Nomex on,
Etc.

I don't remember calibrating mine. I just assembled it and slapped it on there.
It seems reasonably accurate but I've never really cross checked it. My Micromonitor
has been working great for about two years.

Hello-
I am looking for photos of how the cross over exhaust was secured on an RV-8A with
an io360-A1b6. The diagram that came with the exhaust moinuting hardware
wasn't that great.
Thanks

"wasn't that great" -- very kind.
I would have preferred a drawing or photo just half as well done as the
exhaust work. The Vetterman exhaust system sold by Van's is near perfect but
the
installation instructions --- lets say (also being kind) -- leave a lot to
be desired. I guess I'll just wing it unless some help is available here for
my IO360A!B6/RV7A installation.
Some of you are saying "just bolt it on" and that's what I did. The
question is, exactly how is the supplied support structure to be attached?

See the bottom of this page...

Got a few crappy photos of the exhaust hanger setup for the A1B6 exhaust.
It's on a -7, so if anything it'll give you a clearer view without the
nosegear weldment in the way...you get the idea.
