The mounts are very similar I think. My Adaptor came with my engine from Mattituck, so I'm not sure of it's original source. When you go to fit the engine it looks like it won't work at all, but it's easily clear. Mark. Time: 01:51:00 PM PST US From: "Pat Hatch" Subject: RV-List: 90 Degree Oil Filter Adapter --> RV-List message posted by: "Pat Hatch" Question for the list: has anyone been able to use the 90 degree oil filter adapters on and RV-6 engine mount? I am ordering a new engine from Bart and he was not sure whether or not this neat little mod would interfere with the -6 mount or not. So before I order it, I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has successfully installed one, especially if you have some pictures. Thanks.

I had one installed but it required an additional spacer for my mount. May or may not for you.

I have been told that the builder community of RV's is amazing and judging from this forum, I would agree. This will be my first airplane construction project (I owned a kitfox that was built by a local guy here so I have a bit of experience maintaining aircraft) so I would like to get to know some local guys that have "been there, done that" that I can talk to and hopefully get some tips and tricks from. Obviously, any moral support and words of encouragement to keep working and finish the project are always welcome. I would love to talk to anyone who is currently building, flying or otherwise doing something related to any of the Vans Aircraft line. Thanks guys and I hope to be joining in on the forum with my own project, and at some point flying, RV7! Darin Hawkes Look What The New Netscape.com Can Do!

Bob ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 04:40:02 PM PST US From: sarg314 Subject: RV-List: attaching plenum --> RV-List message posted by: sarg314 I am working on my engine baffles and contemplating cutting them short and putting a fiberglass top on rather than sealing it against the top cowl. It will add a lot of strength to the baffles and probably put less stress on the cowling. I know other builders have done this. My question is how to attach the fiberglass to the top edge of the baffles. A piano hinge would be good, but it is rather wide - it would extend down more than an inch from the top of the baffle. Also if the piano hinges aren't all oriented horizontally - which is hard to do - it seems like it would be hard to get the thing on and off. There's always camlocs, but they're expensive and don't distribute the load as well as a piano hinge. How have those of you who have done this attached the fiberglass to the top edge of the baffle? -- Tom Sargent, RV-6A ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 06:06:39 PM PST US From: "Dan Checkoway" Subject: Re: RV-List: attaching plenum --> RV-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" How about #8 flush screws & tinnerman washers through the fiberglass, going through .025" or .032" angle along the top edge of the aluminum baffle sides & back, into nutplates? At least that's what I plan on doing when I convert to a fiberglass plenum top at some point in the future! )_( Dan RV-7 N714D (650 hours) http://www.rvproject.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "sarg314" Subject: RV-List: attaching plenum > --> RV-List message posted by: sarg314 > > I am working on my engine baffles and contemplating cutting them short > and putting a fiberglass top on rather than sealing it against the top > cowl.

Thought I would check before experimenting and possibly burning up some parts. ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 08:58:31 PM PST US From: luckymacy@comcast.net (lucky) Subject: RE: RV-List: camera in the tail --> RV-List message posted by: luckymacy@comcast.net (lucky) Larry and anyone knowedgeable, what do you guys think about this EXVIEW Sony HD230CWX Color PTZ Bullet SPY Camera 520Res Digital Pan+Tilt+3x Zoom+Remote Control High Definition camera which comes with a remote function pad.

The hinge pins will fret something fierce with the engine vibration. Use screws and nutplates. I did them same but with an aluminum top, but the idea is the same.
