I have just installed the C627 spring on the WD620 canopy jettison handle. Spring
won't compress enough to allow release pins to clear WD716 canopy frame for
jettison. Checked for proper clocking of WD619 canopy release shaft, and ears
point outboard as directed. Without the spring everything works perfectly.
It appears that the spring is too heavy a guage to permit the almost 3 to 1 compression
required by the full stroke. Any experiences on this? RV9A finishing

Hi distance to the back of the instrument panel and the rollpin/splitpin is
quite critical for smooth operation.

The Superior engine runs on premium UL and puts out 180+ HP out of the box.

If you look at the Lycoming O-360 A1A that Van's sells, it runs on 91 / 96
fuel. Look on the Data Plate or Lycoming SI-1070. Since the lower octane
avgas that the engine was certified on is no longer available, we use the
100LL. When a LEAD free fuel is FORCED on the aviation community, the Turbo
guys are the ones that will be hurting.
Check out the Type Certificate Data Sheet E00001SC for the Superior O-360.
Same bore, same stroke, same compression as the Lycoming. Why was one
engine able to use Motor Gasoline (R+M/2) (See Note 7) ASTM D4814, Min
Octane 91 (no alcohol) and the other did not?
For the best resale value on an RV, it MUST have a constant speed prop.

This was taken this morning at Leadville CO. Smooth flight
both ways. 14,500' over and 15,500' back. RVs are great.

--> RV-List message posted by: Richard Dudley <rhdudley@att.net>
Hi Listers,
I have toggle and momentary switches left over from building my RV-6A.
The toggle switches are in two sizes: miniature (1/4") and standard
(7/16"). They are all new, never used, with original nuts and washers.
Many are in their original packages. They were purchased from B&C and
Digi-Key. I'll let the whole batch go for $35.
They are:
1 - DPDT, miniature toggle, (ON)-OFF-ON, solder
4 - SPDT, miniature toggle, ON-NONE-ON, solder
1 - SPDT, miniature toggle, locking in either position, ON-NONE-ON, solder
2 - SPDT toggle (Aeroelectric 1-3), ON-NONE-ON, faston
1 - SPDT toggle(Aeroelectric 1-1), ON-OFF-ON, faston
1 - DPDT toggle,(ON)-OFF-ON, screw terminals,
1 - DPDT toggle, ON-NONE-ON , faston,
4 - SPST, momentary push, miniature, OFF (ON), solder

I don't use the spring. The handle is secured in place with a breakable
wire. This also makes gettng the on an off much easier as you don't need the
third hand for the handle.

--> RV-List message posted by: Knicholas2@aol.com
I am receiving a good VOR reading and glideslope, but NO localizer on my VOR
head and KX-155. The radio has been bench-tested ok and I get the ILS morse
code identifier, it just does not read on the VOR head. Does anyone have
any idea where I start to troubleshoot???
Thanks,

It sounds like the trouble is probably in the head. If the VOR works
then the VOR/LOC signal is getting to the head and the localizer should
also work. The only other wire that could cause it would be the ILS
energize wire which is pin 8 on the KX155, and pin K on a KI203/204 or
pin 4 on a KI208/209.
The best way to test it is to borrow another head or have yours bench
checked.
