Great info Ron- how did you balance the tires?
Thanks!

My wheel/tire assemblies were balanced statically. My mechanic
has a device that consists of a "frictionless" rod that goes through
the axle area of the wheel (bearings and one spacer on but the
spacer is as needed). That is then placed on a stand that had two
thin metal plates that support the "frictionless" rod and wheel/tire
assembly.
You then move the wheel/tire to various positions and let go and if
not in balance it is obvious because the heavy end will go down.
Add 1/4 ounce lead weights opposite the heavy end until balanced.
On at least one balancing it was not perfect but was so improved
over not balancing that I did not worry about it. I would suppose
that spin balancing would be better but this way eliminated my
vibrations so I am happy.

Mine does the same with no digitrak. Ive found if you first go to wing
leveler and get it trimmed out, then hold the stick at the very top when
flipping over to track, the "bump" is much less severe.

I am installing my Airflow Performance fuel injection spider and had a
question. Do I need to match location on the spider to a specific
cylinder, or do I hook up any cylinder to any location in the spider? I
could not seem to find any cylinder numbers on the spider and I
directions leave much to be desired.....
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I spoke with Jack Norris several times when he was designing the new
propeller airfoil for Jim Rust at Whirl Wind (now in use on the 200RV and
151). I understood about 20% of what he was talking about, but that 20% was
very educational. He told me he was writing a book but I was unaware it was
finished. He's a very interesting guy and of course quite knowledgable. That
new airfoil is quite an accomplishment btw. How can one get a copy?

| Subject: | High Voltage Problem |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Steve Struyk" <rv8striker@hotmail.com>
Today while doing some taxi test I noticed a new problem. After start-up, with
the alternator field on or off, the voltage climbed very high to over 18 volts.
I shut down the engine and restarted and watched again as the voltage slowly
(1 Min.) rose to 18+ volts. This time I put a load on the system with pitot heat,
landing lights and strobes and the voltage dropped and stayed at about 12.5.
It appears that with a load, all looks normal but with no load it climbs even
with the Alt. field off.
The battery is an Odyssey and is about three years old ( I wanted it on hand during
the building of the electrical system) and not holding a charge well. could
this be the culprit?
The Alternator is a 60 amp. from Van's. Could it be a regulator gone bad within
it? I don't see how with the field switched off but electrons are a big mystery
to me.
Any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated.

Steve, I assume the lower voltage with load was at low RPM? If so, it
sounds like the field is shorted to +12...could be a bad regulator, or
bad wiring. A weak battery wouldn't act like that.

Dear Steve,
Could very well be the voltage regulator. Do you have overvoltage protection installed?
B&C sells a fairly inexpensive ( about $45) overvoltage unit.
I wish it was installed when my regulator went. At least it's there now.

I'm not yet sure if it will work, but I mailed him about 20 bucks, IIRC,

Randy
At Oshkosh, I was hanging around the plane, and Jack came by,
advertising for the seminar he was giving later that day, and also
offering to sell reservations for his upcoming book on propeller design.
He gave me a scrap of paper with his name and address. I missed his
seminar due to the press of socializing, and a faulty memory (darn it!),
but sent off my $12 when I got home. I haven't gotten the book yet, but
I am confident I will, though Jack looked to be about 80 years old, he
was full of energy, and that type of retired person who is totally busy.
If I don't get the book, I could care less about the $12, even though
the check hasn't been cashed, but I will sure feel the loss of the
information sure to be in it. In the discussion I had with him, his
approach sounds similar to that of Paul Lipps, but not identical.
That scrap of paper is long gone, but when I get the book, I will post
the information here, and maybe a review too.

The Van's 60A alternators that I have seen, will not shut off with
the "excite" switch. This is probably what you are wired to as an
"alternator field" switch. Once you excite them while rotating,
they stay on. This is also the alternator which was recommended to
NOT have an OV protection module. Hope these inputs are helpful.
If your Odyssey battery is not holding a charge, then you probably
have something sucking amps out of it while at rest. Those things
typically will hold charge for months with their low internal
resistatnce. They will keep doing that for around 7 years of
inactivity.
If you have an accurate voltmeter, then your voltage regulation is
bad. Check the voltmeter first.
Good luck.

It does not mater which cylinder is plumbed into
any flow divider port. The only required hook up is the inlet
from the throttle body.

Just to make sure I have a handle on this, I'm guessing your engine doesn't
have a vernatherm, right?

Yes, I do have a vernatherm installed and I actually installed a new
one this year, It help improved the oil temp but not enough. Today I
installed a partial blocking plate (40%) in front of the cooler and it
improved the temp by about 20 degrees. The average oil temp today was around
140-145 degrees at an outside temperature of 8-10 Celsius or about 45-50 F.
Tomorrow, I am going to make another blocking plate that will cover
100% of the cooler inlet. Let's hope it's going to fix the problems.
Thanks to all.

Not to insult, but do you have the proper part number washer under the
vernatherm? If it wasn't present or was thinner than spec, too much oil
would be directed to the cooler. You need proper dimension between the
bottom of the vernatherm and the seat for oil to bypass the cooler, as
intended.

John,
Just as a point of reference, I gave Jack my $12.00 for his book at one of
the Luscombe fly-ins at Columbia Ca. in either '95 or '96, not sure which
year. It was worth the money just to listen to him talk about his career.
The book will be a bonus if he ever finishes it.

Mike,
My engine came with the spider already installed. The fuel inlet and
pressure ports on the spider face aft. It's then apparent which cylinder is
hooked up to which fitting on the spider. Pictures of 410RV show the inlet
and pressure ports on their spider facing fwd. The left and right fittings
would then be reversed. I'm not an engine guru but it does not seem to
matter.

I made a heat distribution manifold out of fibreglass, using the lost foam
method. I glued styrofoam blocks (blue SM) together using hot glue to get
the rough shape and then carved and sanded until I had a mock-up duct that
nicely fitted in place without interfering with the rudder pedals. I then
covered the foam with several layers of fibreglass and epoxy. When hard, I
poured laquer thinner into a hole at one end and dissolved out the foam,
leaving a hollow duct. I cut some air exit holes at strategic intervals and
installed it. It works great and evenly distributes the heat what heat is
available. I only wish there were more of it.
I'll send a photo to your email.
