Finally got my 3rd iteration in and able to get all 6 cylinders to peak
w/I .1gph.
I can now lean all the way to engine shut down with out any miss or
vibration.
Happy Happy.

I'm considering the same thing and already purchased the splitter.....
Here's what I'm looking forward to:
One antenna - less parasitic drag
Here's what I'm worried about:
Single antenna - single point of failure......
Not being able to have both pilot and copilot transmitting on diff radios/diff
freqs at the same time.
Wiring it all up - good instructions - just time consuming.......

Antennas rarely fail. The failure point is in the connection to the
coax ....... some antennas use crimp on ring connectors, and there's
always mis-assembled BNC connectors.

This doesn't happen .... unless you REALLY want it to. Typically both
pilot and pass mike keys are in parallel and key whichever transmitter
is selected.

and wiring separate mic, mike audio and headset controls would be a
nightmare, much less the switch panel to accomplish the feat above!!!
Using one antenna might cause shadowing when the airframe is between the
antenna and the ground station.
Here's your change! :-)

I'm planning on putting a belly whip for com1 and then an archer wingtip
antenna for com2. This gives you two antennas, but with the same drag
as a single whip ;) From what I hear the wingtip ones will work pretty
well in most conditions, so as the second comm it should suffice pretty
well.

Whatever you do, be certain you are isolating the com receive of each
radio from the transmitter of the other, via switch or other physical
disconnect mechanism, or you will fry the receiver of one of them.

Allow me to jump in here and say that as a 160 hp upgrade owner, I'd go back in
a heartbeat if I had the engine apart for anything else. With a Sensenich prop
limited to 2600 rpm, I rarely ever see the 160 hp anyway, and paying 20 cents
extra for Hi-test mogas has really been a losing proposition. Now my local
gas station has taken to carrying only regular grade, making for a long drive
with a heavy transfer tank when it's time to refill the fuel farm. Plus, regular
mogas is all you'll find at airports, so away from home I'm stuck buying
100LL anyway. Add in the fact tha 100LL sometimes sells for less than premium
mogas (it used to be a dollar more, at least) and most of the incentinve just
disappears. Nothing wrong with a 150 hp RV, even fixed pitch.
My vote would be for a 180 C/S, though ;-) Won't they run on 80 octane?

I run premium (93 mogas) in my Pitts (O-360-A4-A) because it pings when
I'm doing hard akro ..... cross country 87 mogas works just fine.

---------------------
I suggest asking this question on the AeroElectric List. As Kelly
pointed out, there are real dangers trying to use one antenna for 2 Comm
radios, which is why I don't think I've ever seen it done in more years
than I want to admit of flying.
The drag on an antenna isn't much, but James' approach (use one Archer
Comm antenna) is better than a splitter IMHO if you really only want one
stick in the breeze.

It is my understanding that for comm radios, each one must have it's own
antenna. For NAV's, splitters are very common.

And we have found that we have a hard time getting 2000 hours out of a 160
horse engine, and no problem getting 2500 and beyond from a stock 150.
Although at the rate that most but Rosie put hours on the plane it's
probably not much of a factor...

Well, so far, so good here... oil analysis and compressions all good at 535 SMOH;
adding 2 quarts in the 50-hr interval between changes, but means nothing, really.
Anything could happen. What failures have you encountered with your 160
hp experience?

I really can't .... I really have a hearing problem, but folks on the
ground could hear it!!! I've got my ears stuffed into the David Clark
headset to keep the noise out. I think what makes it easier for folks
on the ground to hear is that the exhause is right between my feet
(short straight stacks) and the engine exhaust noise can be pointed away
from the person on the ground. Most of the noise a Pitts makes is the
prop, and direction makes a difference there too.

| Subject: | Parallel Fuel Line for IO-540 (that bypasses the engine driven |
fuel pump)
--> RV-List message posted by: "Tim Lewis " <Tim_Lewis@msm.umr.edu>
Listers,
There are some intersting fuel system design suggestions in
<http://www.rv8.ch/staticpages/index.php?page=20030914230507849> (or
<http://www.ellison-fluid-
systems.com/article/fuelsystemsforhomebuilts/fuelsystems.htm>)
In particular, to minimize the chance of vapor lock, "Fuel Routing should be direct
from boost pump through filter to carburetor or fuel injector servo. Have engine
driven pump plumbed in parallel, not series, so that possible vapor lock in engine
driven pump will be bypassed. A check valve may be necessary, depending on pump
type."
I'm considering using this approach on my RV-10 (IO-540). In the approach I'm
considering the fuel line will "T" after the high pressure boost pump output (aft
of
firewall). One branch will go thru the engine driven pump. The other branch will
go
thru an Andair check valve then "T" with the output of the engine driven fuel pump,
at
which point a single line will go forward to the injection system servo/throttle.
With
this setup the boost pump will be able to supply fuel to the injection system even
if
the engine drive boost pump is blocked.
Does anybody know of any significant downside to this approach?
Thanks,
Tim Lewis

If you look at the Lycoming specs you'll see that they also offered a
version of their 0-360 parallel valve engine with low compression pistons
(7.5-1). This engine runs on 80/87 octane and puts out 168 horsepower. If
100LL suddenly gets real scarce, or totally unaffordable, I intend to
convert my 180 HP ECI clone engine to this configuration and run autogas in
it. Still gives me about 20 extra ponies compared to an 0-320 running
autogas (150 HP). I do agree though that 150 HP is plenty of oomph for our
little fun machines.

One suggestion. Do not install an engine with less than 180 HP.
IMO, I would not even look at it so it has ZERO value to me. Applies
to RV-6, -7 as well

As nice as a big motor might be, being able to run mogas in a low-comp
engine
might go a long way to twisting a prospects arm! Checked Airnav ga$ lately?
150 hp O-320s still kick PLENTY of butt! 8-)
