| Subject: | Left/Right/Both Fuel Experiment |
--> RV-List message posted by: sjhdcl@kingston.net
To answer why low wing aircraft do not use a fuel selector with both on it
perform this entertaining experiment. This one is my favorites.
Take 2 ice cold beers. Drink 1/2 of one. Put a straw in each bottle and
suck away on both at the same time. You have selected both on the
selector. When the 1st is gone, you're sucking air and the engine quits
even though there is fuel remaining.
Now for a high wing aircraft. Put on your Sunday Superbowl beer helmet
insert 2 straws in 2 ice cold beers and drink away. When one can is empty,
the other one is still providing a nice flow.
Of course with any experiment it must be done at least 3 trials so repeat
the experiment several times.
Do not rivet anything after performing this experiment.
Back to the garage.

I was pretty anal when building the wings. I had the skins, leading edge and
fuel tank going at the same time. When I was building the emp, I ordered a
few clecoes everytime I made a tool order. I ended up with 1 1/2 milk jugs
of clecos and at some point, I think I had every hole in the entire wing
structure with a cleco in it. I just felt better about alignment and stuff
having everything clecoed. But I felt better as I removed a cleco,
drilled...removed another cleco.
As I was building the fuel tanik, there was no way I was going to put
clecoes only in every other hole as I ProSealed, although I realize you
could get away with it. And at the end of each tank, I didn't bother
cleaning them. I just tossed 'em. into another bucket and they became "the
ProSeal clecos."
Obviously, YMMV

Can you explain how an EAA inspection "improves your insurance rates"? Can

You only need the one final inspection but it is a wise idea and improves
your insurance rates if you get an EAA TC to inspect as you go along, Its
free. the FAA will give you the final inspection as well but you have to
plan ahead to get it done when you want it.

Poor wording on my part. You can get first flight insurance by having 3 TC
inspections and using the EAA Flight Advisor program. Having coverage does
improve your insurance but not necessarily the rates.

Can anyone tell me how many different aircraft were used to obtain this
data. The article states that more than one aircraft was used.
I would guess from reading the article that at least 4 different aircraft
were used.

Stephanie,
I'll comment with the following observation. In my experience, a pneumatic squeezer
equipped with a double piston (tandem?) generates considerably more force
than the single piston type and is capable of squeezing 3/16" rivets. For squeezing
AD3 and AD4 rivets, a single piston pneumatic squeezer is perfectly adequate.
Rick Galati
Can anyone explain to me why someone would want the Tandem pneumatic rivet squeezer
as opposed to the regular one? My hubby and I are about to start spending

I've polished two props, a C/S on a Christen Eagle and fixed pitch on a
C-170. Painted the back flat black. Both looked great. you will have to
polish them every couple of weeks, but you just use some "Mother's" metal
polish and it looks super. To start just use finer and finer wet sand paper
and a vibrating sander, the kind that takes a quarter sheet of sandpaper
with lots of water. Then put a soft cloth on the sander and metal polish
and it doesn't take to long.

(Jim, you seem surprised there are questions. You are a MT dealer and assume you know the scoop. To extol the virtues of the MT brand of prop, on a public forum, which is fine, you should expect different opinions and views. I never said anything-negative about MT propeller. I think they are fine. One issue to me is service availability. I was told MT repair stations in the US have to send props back to Germany for (major/minor) repair sometimes(?). Not that it is a big deal, but it is something to consider, not a reflection of the quality of the prop. As far as performance and subjective impressions such as feel, read builders sites like http://www.rv-8.com/Prop.htm and http://www.lazy8.net/proptest.htm or the ref at the bottom of this post.)
>
>MT Propeller has never had a blade separation from one of their propellers.
>
>Can Hartzell say the same?
(Jim the facts, what are you referring to? I think you are implying something?
"Can Hartzell say the same?" I don't know, so I called Hartzell and asked. They
have had no in-flight failures of C2YK's or blade separations due to design
or manufacture deficiency. None. Hartzell had past AD's on this model, but all
new C2YK's have no AD's against them. The past hub AD was the result of small
radius cracks found during overhaul of hubs used for Aerobatics and Agricultural
applications, on the 540 Lycoming. Hartzell offered replacement hubs. New
hubs have had no AD's for some time now. Keep in mind, the basic model number
has been in service for over 40 years. History and experience do count.)
Further.........
(There have been cases of poor maintenance and operation way out of the envelope
that resulted in blade failures. Like the guy who hit trees on approach. He
took off again (after hack-sawing the tips off) and kept flying for another week
(day?) with deep gouges in the leading edge. Yep, the blade tip was spit off
finally. What would a MT wood/composite blade do to a tree or visa a versa?
Even though it finally failed, it took some serious abuse and kept on going (for
awhile). Amazing. Aluminum is a wonderful material. Let me repeat, there has
never been any unexplained in-flight failures of this Hartzell hub and it's
blades due to design deficiency. 40+ years, large numbers in service, un-tolled
flight hours and abuse, with a very good history, tells me it is a good design.
Perfect? No. What is. Does MT have this kind of history? Do they have 40
year old blades on high horsepower engines in severe service in the field? No.
Is that bad? No, but to throw out a question implyi
ng some
structural deficiency of the Hartzell is not real fair. At no time was strength
of the MT an issue with me. Repair-ability yes. Strength, No. However since
you brought it up, I know of several "composite" props that have spit their leading
edge erosion strips off. For the record none were MT's. Never the less when
you bond (fancy engineering term for glue ) you can dis-bond. There are difference
in a homogeneous structure (aluminum) and bonded "semi-isotropic" material,
which is beyond this discussion. Leave it at they both can be very safe
reliable structures but have very different properties.
One more thing.......
(Other Hartzell models had failures due to design issues. In the 40's, Hartzell
used steel hubs and blade clamps. Some 40-50 years after the original design,
an Aero Commander spit a blade-off, which resulted in an AD, released in the
80's or the 90's. Those props are still in service 60+ years later with "new"
steel blade clamps, but now have continuing re-accruing inspection requirements.
That was the technology of the 40's. THIS 60-YEAR-OLD DESIGN IS A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT DESIGN THAN THE ALUMINUM HUBS FOR THE RV. The big problem is they
are very old, and they have been sitting outside for 40+ years, not properly maintained.
Still they are very safe and have had no recent failures since, as
far as I know.)

Jim, I seconded that! I'll give you a big Ol Amen! and a Hala-lua Brother.
If you mean I believe in the facts and asking question, you are correct. A exchange
opinions should not be a argument. From my past experience and research,
the Hartzell prop is the best choice, for me. For someone who likes the "look
and feel" of a composite blade prop, more power to ya. I take it you are a true
believer of the MT brand, and I say, Yea verily, go forth and prosper. I think
it is worthy to debate to pros and cons and provide facts to support opinions.
Opinions alone are great and could say all kind of nice things about MT props,
but I'll leave that to you Jim. Fly safe.
Peace out George

MEK... I have read all the instructions on the FAA web site and in the

request a PREVIOUSLY reserved N number be assigned. It explains how to
reserve an N number but not what to do when you are ready to have it
assigned.
Do you just write it in on the registration form or do you have to send a
separate letter telling them a N number has been reserved and you want it
assigned...
Thanks

Hey everyone,
Have six hours on my 6A. About the only thing I'm not crazy about is the IO-360
on final. I have a Sterba prop and not enough flywheel effect. I was wondering
if anyone out there might have a Landoll Prop Balancer that they want to sell.
Also I have the 21/4 inch cylindrical style prop extension with the constant
speed cowl. Does the prop balancer require any modification of the cowl?
I'd appreciate any input.
Thanks,
Ivan McLaws

Richard,
Go to http://162.58.35.241/e.gov/nr/n-renid.asp
This will take you the N # renewal site. All you need is the N# and
name under which it was reserved.
It will lead you through the rest.

Hello all;
I am going to use an IO-360-A1A in an RV8. The engine was formerly in an
Acrosport II. When in the Acrosport it had an inverted oil system. Here is a
link to some pictures which explain this better than I can here:
http://www.usaviator.net/inverted_oil.htm For my question I am referring to
fittings D and E in the second picture. This system took oil from the sump
and went to the inverted system before it went to the oil pump. There is a
special fitting welded to the sump where the oil goes from the inverted
system back to the pump, then of course through the engine. Currently I have
these two fittings (D and E) looped together. What I am wondering is; If
instead of looping them together can I run one line (from E) to a remote oil
filter and another line from the said remote filter back to (D) the pump.
Normally oil going through a filter is under pressure, this oil would be
under a vacuum since it would be located before the pump. Would this be a
problem? Does anyone know? Would you care to make any suggestions regarding
this set up or alternatives to me? What about using the oil cooler lines and
putting a filter in line there?
Your kind attention to this is greatly appreciated.
With kindest personal regards, to all, I shall remain,
Sincerely,
Bud Silvers

Stephanie,
Go with the single cylinder. It will squash the -3 and -4 rivets
without any trouble. I have used both C and alligator styles and would
go with C. Once you get it set for the length you are squeezing you can
really go to town. Be careful though, when dimpling you can create a
nice, dimpled hole where you don't want one. Look for a used one and
save some $.
The Yard has a pneumatic cleco tool for just $24.
http://www.yardstore.com/index.cfm?action=ViewDetails&ItemID=313&Category=88
A luxury perhaps but so is the squeezer. This tool works well and really
speeds up removing and installing clecos. You won't have as firm of
handshake but that's a small price. They also have a squeezer for under
$300.

If you are looking for titanium tie downs etc. I would recommend Rob
Rollison's company http://www.airplanegear.com/ . I ordered the
Lowrance 2000 from him and a set of headphones. the 2000 was as
advertised (at a low price) and the headphones (lightspeed) were fine but I
couldnot wear them due to not enough clearance from canopy. he took them
back and credited my card, no problem.
i have no financial ties to Rob, just a satisfied customer. think i will
try that new head set without the top bar. anyone have those yet? Like
them, ?? dont like them.

Hi Bud,
It is bad news to put a filter on the suction side of any pump, as it can
cause it to cavitate, and there goes your oil pressure. Also, you won't
have filtration when you are inverted with that setup.
