I took my first ride in a RV-9A yesterday. I was totally blown away. My
pre-convieced ideas of what it would be like were way off. After flying a
C-172 for 18 years, flying this RV-9A was like stepping into a hot sports
car aftering driving a chevy station wagon. We were cruising about 175 mph
and I actually felt like I was moving over the ground. The RV-9A owner did a
stall for me and my first reaction was "That was a stall?". It reminded me
of stories I'd heard about Aircoupes, where is the practically no stall. The
nose of the RV-9A dipped slightly then started flying again.
I've never flown a stick before and I have to say that I LUV IT! I was
immediately thinking "This is the way it was meant to be". We took a steep
turn to the right and I looked up through the canopy I saw a vista like I've
never seen before. I described it to my wife as being like going to the IMAX
theater. "HOLY MOLY!". Returning to the airport was like transitioning from
a jet to piper cub. Here we were, screaming through the air to the airport
and then going straight to slow flight in the pattern. I don't know of any
general aviation aircraft that has such a wide variety of speeds and flight
characteristics.
I have to say that I am now more "movitated" than ever to finish my RV-9A. I
think the words "driven" or "obsessed" are more descriptive now. Thanks
Clay!!!
Ya'll have a goodun!

FWIW, I was told by an "expert", who sold them all, and whose name would be
recognizable on this list, that he had never had a "problem" with ECI
Cylinders, and that he couldn't say that about the other's (Superior and
Lycoming) . . . ECI seemed to be his product of choice. That was 18 mos
ago at OSH.
However, I'm sure they are both good products . . . I ended up with a TXM360
(mostly ECI) . . . it seemed to me to be an equivalent engine at a more
competitive price. (but I'm not flying yet)
Good Luck,

Bob Avery is a great guy. Go to any Van's function, and bob Avery is there.
Wait for the door prizes, and, sure enough, Avery Tools always seems to
donate gift certificates. Drop an email to Avery Tools if you're having a
problem, you'll get a note back from Bob Avery. (and it'll probably tell you
to send it back to him, or he'll send you a part). Plus the guy has built at
least one RV.
He's a good man running a good company as best he can.

I think you'll find that the handhelds either come with or are available
for extra $$ a cord set that plugs into the radio and has jacks for
headset/mic. The jacks in the radio are small ..... and sometimes
non-standard size .....so it's best to look at what your friends have or
go to a fly-in where distributors are so you can look them over (and
possibly use it) before you commit to a purchase.

Have any of you been using the Andair CT850 condensation trap yet?
Andair states that it is used to extract the water from the oil when used in
conjunction with the Andair Oil / Air Separator. I haven't got the faintest
idea how this thing works and if it is beneficial to the "normal" oil-air
separator setup. Any ideas?

Darrell,
I've spoken with several well known engine builders about this. The short
version is that ECI's cylinders are better for aircraft which are not flown
a lot. The barrel surface treatment they use resists rust better than
Superior or Lycoming. Superior markets 2 versions of it's Millennium
cylinders. The Millennium II cylinders use investment cast heads. The
others use sand cast heads. Investment casting is much stronger and more
resistant to cracking. It's like comparing the aluminum castings from a
1960s vintage Harley Davidson to a modern Honda. The new Japanese bikes use
investment casting. The old HDs and Triumphs used sand casting. These
Millennium II heads have ports and combustion chambers that are CNC
machined, so the ports and combustion chambers volumes do not vary in size.
This means that you'll get more even power, CHTs and EGTs using these
cylinders. The investment cast heads also resist cracking better. For an
owner more concerned with high performance and/or extended cylinder life,
the Superior Millennium II is a great choice. (providing you fly regularly)

I have an ICOM something. I bought two accessories. One provides a
push to talk switch and jack for my headset. Then another allows me
to connect the ICOM antenna port to another switch that uses my normal
antenna.
I will provide part numbers if I can. So what you want is possible.

Good call, Jerry. I would consider the fact that they gave themselves a
positive review on the RV list without divulging the conflict of interest
good reason to buy elsewhere. I don't mind a little self-promotion now and
then, as long as we hear the whole story.

If anyone is interested, I have a brand new Andair oil air separator and condensation
trap for sale. Both items are still in the box and have never been opened.
I will sell both, as a set, for $300.00 which is about $35.00 less than
Aircraft Spruce. I'll also pick up shipping to the lower 48.

Just a short note on Robbie / ECi biased .....I found him very open and
knowledgeable about the lycosaurse....in general and about the different
companies that provide X-360 engines to we builders. If he is biased it is
probably because the ECI engine has been so great in his own RV 6......
Now for my biased FWIW position........I am sure gald I am building a plane
that I can use 21 century technology in an old age technology engine.

Good call, Jerry. I would consider the fact that they gave themselves a positive
review on the RV list without divulging the conflict of interest good reason
to buy elsewhere. I don't mind a little self-promotion now and then, as long

| Subject: | Dynon Failure Mode Revisit |
--> RV-List message posted by: Larry Pardue <n5lp@warpdriveonline.com>
Greetings:
A few weeks ago I reported on a failure I had on my Dynon D-10A. The
altitude sensor had failed, according to Dynon, and it was showing
incorrect altitude, airspeed, ROC as well as an incorrect and
drifting attitude indication. Dynon was responsive and fast in
repairing the unit and returning it to me.
Today was my third flight since reinstalling the unit and the mission
was to calibrate the heading indicator, as that calibration had been
lost during the repair service. When I started up I noticed that the
rate of turn indicator was showing maximum deflection to the right
and cycling the power on and off did not change it. My thought was
that this was annoying as that indicator is of great use during the
ground calibration portion. As soon as I was in flight I noticed
that the attitude indicator was not functioning correctly. It was
drifting into different positions with no relationship to actual
attitude.
This appears to be a different failure than before as altitude and
airspeed are fine this time.
I hope people understand why I am reporting these problems. I wish
nothing but the best for Dynon, but when I bought mine I may not have
had a realistic attitude about reliability and failure modes.

| Subject: | Rudder Hinge Bolt Measurements |
--> RV-List message posted by: gerns25@netscape.net
I am installing my Rudder to check the measurements as per plan. For reference,
the measurements are: 51/64 - top, 59/64 - Center and 1 1/16 - bottom. These
are the measurements per plan as measured from the rear spar web to the center
of the rod end bearing thru hole. Now the question...The center measurement
seems to be off on mine. When I install the rudder, I am only able to get the
bottom and top bolt in...the center rod end bearing is off by a good 3/16"
(too short). Has anyone else experienced this? I could just turn the center
bearing out a bit but then I don't have a whole lot of threads holding it in.
Does anyone know if the measurements on the plans are correct or do they need
to be modified. By the way, the movement in the rudder looks to be spot on with
the bottom and top bolts in place. Any help? Thanks,

Darin,
Double check your measurements. I used a brass rod with both ends
sharpened to a point along the center axis and long enough to go through
all three rod end bearings. This allows one to obtain very accurate
measurements when the point is located as close as possible to the rod
end bearing. The brass rods (3/16" diameter and other sizes) are
available at Home Depot and True Value Hardware stores. The dimensions
you stated are correct.

Paul,
Have you looked at the Blumountain stuff?
www.bluemountainavionics.com
They are similar to what you mention only it also provides an HSI display
that connects digitally to your SL-30, as well as a moving map.
I have the G3/lite and love it. The brightness of the display is second to
none - not even the units selling for $50k. Two G3 lites would make a nice
IFR panel with a backup for everything for a very low price. The E1 would
add the benefit of unparalleled 3-D terrain mapping.

Darin, I did not experience your problem when fitting my RV7 rudder to VS.
Keep in mind, I did this portion of the kit about 24 months ago. Mine fit
within a 16th of an inch as I seem to remember (not perfect per plans in
other words). I suggest you talk with Vans foremost. Consider you look at
where you are to insure the gap seems to be uniform top to bottom and adjust
it as needed accordingly. I would not be too concerned about it right now.
You will need to do some fitting for sure on the bottom of the rudder for
the fiberglass fairing/housing that holds the tail light when you fit that
to the fuselage. You have begun the process and what an experience you
have before you and the flights -- oh yes, the flights.........

You can also use dental floss, fishing line, etc. Stretch the string
through the center of the holes in the rod end bearings and make sure
they're all aligned. Do the same with the holes in the hinge brackets on
the VS. It's unlikely the hinge brackets would be misaligned on a VS that
was built from match-drilled stuff.
Those "computer generated" numbers on the plans are just a starting point in
my opinion. Make it work! Split the difference with the ends and the
middle one, or whatever. As long as the rudder moves freely and doesn't rub
the VS skin edges before hitting the stops, and as long as the counterweight
arm parallels the top of the VS, then you're good to go imho.

Be sure you are measuring to the spar web.
Remember the doubler is on the rod end side of the web on the lower one.
You have to do some math on that one.

--> RV-List message posted by: RV4WGH@aol.com
I am in the finishing kit stages of an RV-4 and have a couple of questions:
1) Facet fuel pump instructions say to mount the pump on a 45 degree angle.
Knowing this pump is an automotive pump, is this also important in an
airplane? Seems like the pump will be at a 45 degree angle most of the time in
a
tail dragger, at least for take-off. I had planned to mount it in a manner
that would make it level in normal flight.
2) Where is the suggested mounting location for the outside air temp sensor?
Thanks for any suggestions.

1. My understanding is that this is an effort to reduce wear on the
reciprocating plunger, as it is able to rotate easier in the barrel if its axis
is
closer to vertical during normal use.
2. As far from the fuselage as possible.

This should have nothing to do with "burned bridges" if Dynon is a respectable
company and the unit is under warranty. Last thing I want to hear about a vendor
is that it isn't stranding behind their product because someone reported
a problem with it in a public forum. Dynon hasn't given that impression so far
and I wouldn't expect them to act in such an unprofessional way.
That type of mentality reminds me of new car dealerships and their idea of customer
service. They beat you senseless with the "tell us personally if there
is a problem but always give us top marks in the corporate survey". Sure they
fix the problem but not the root cause because no one ever tells their corporate.
Sorry to seem a little ticked but it irritates the hell out of me when someone
suggests you have to hide problems with a product in order to get the proper

And I suspect that is precisely what will happen.......provided Larry
hasn't totally burned all bridges by publishing this issue on a public
forum before giving Dynon a chance to repair/replace his obviously
defective EFIS...

I bought my tools from planetools.com and have nothing but excellent comments for
their service and tools. Sure I don't have a ton of experience using other
tools but their's are as quality as they come. Besides, for the price you would
pay for the standard RV tool kit from Avery or Cleveland, I got a pnuematic
squeezer (US Clone similiar to the 214 style Chicago) and best of all, the DRDT-2
dimpler. I have supplemented my kit with the vise grip dimplers that Avery
sells and someday, I plan to add the "main squeeze" hand squeezer by Cleveland,
but don't discount Isham's (planetools.com), they are great. I thought
I had a problem with my cleco's so I called Shaun and discussed the problem with
him, I also asked about a keyless chuck for my drill. Well, to make a long
story short, I got an extra pack of cleco's to try and a keyless chuck for nothing!
I hadn't even asked for the clecos and I fully expected to pay for the
chuck but they did not charge me. By the way, my cl
ecos were not the problem (these are US made clecos by Cleco-loc, I believe they
were one of the original cleco makers), I was using the speed deburring tool
to aggresively. I would at least take a look at there stuff and give them a
call...if they still have the dimpler deal going, this tool is worth its weight
in gold! Bottom line...Avery and Cleveland have excellent stuff and you will
probably buy items from both, but for the full tool kit...the price, service
and quality of tools planetools.com sells can't be beat IMHO!

Good call, Jerry. I would consider the fact that they gave themselves a
positive review on the RV list without divulging the conflict of interest
good reason to buy elsewhere. I don't mind a little self-promotion now and
then, as long as we hear the whole story.

Darin,
I had to install the rudder bolts top middle bottom, in that order.
Otherwise the middle bolt would'nt go in. I did use Van's measurements for
the rudder, and they worked as I said above. The elevator measurements had
to be massaged a little, but not much. Make sure you got the correct rod
end. good luck,

Whoa here.......let's come up for air............ :-)
Nobody suggested hiding problems in order to get customer service. I am
a Dynon owner who has considerable experience with working issues with
their product (I was heavily involved with Dynon in chasing down the EMI
problems they had with the D-10 a couple years ago). My experience with
Dynon convinced me that they are a quality company that is very serious
about supporting their fine products.
I have also had several opportunities to work with other vendors as they
sorted out issues with their product. And a careful reading of my web
site will show no reluctance on my part to criticize a product when I
felt it justified. But that criticism was never publicly rendered until
every opportunity had been offered to the vendor to get things sorted out.
I think it would have been more courteous to Dynon if Larry had given
them a chance to rectify this latest problem with their unit before
airing this service difficulty on a very public forum. Observers of the
RV community are well aware that Larry's Dynon problems, while
discouraging to him, are certainly not representative of the excellent
field history the Dynon EFII have established.
But......I realize my idea of consideration to a company isn't shared by
all consumers. Guess that might be enough to get some folks irritated. :-)

I got it figured out thanks to all you guys. I was omitting the fact that the
bottom nutplate is riveted to the aft side of the rear spar...well, all measurements
are given from the web of the rear spar. I have adjusted it and it is
much better, will still need a tiny bit of tweeking, half turn here half turn
there, but at least it is in the ballpark now. Thanks to all who replied!
