--> RV-List message posted by: "B25Flyer" <dougr@petroblend.com>
All,
I finally succummed to Rocket Fever and bought Mark Fredrick's Rocket, Ole' 84.
The net result is, I have an exceptional example of an RV-4 for sale.
1994 160 C/S 850 Snew AF & Eng Air Flow Perf, Christen Inv Oil, Inv Fuel, 1- Lightspeed,
1 Mag, Dynon D-10, KX155 w/GS, Rnav Star 5000 GPS, Terra digital X-ponder,
Navaid, AlTrak, Infinity stick grip, etc etc etc.....
I have flown this airplane 550 hours in 3 years all over the country in all sorts
of weather. Solo, it will run 170 kts TAS down low and 152 kts at 17,000 ft
on 5.2 gph. Almost 30 NMPG!!!!
The builder was a machinist and it shows. It took me a full year to get it away
from him. I kept looking at other airplanes and, if you have done that, you
know that good airplanes are very hard to find.
If you want to haggle the price is $75,000. If you want to buy the airplane it
is $65,000. It is worth that. The bonus is, if you buy it, I promise I will
never pass you in the Rocket. The rest of you are fair game, Check Six!!!!
Tailwinds,

The skies of Iowa will be even safer now. :-)

Ralph,
I mounted my Lasar computer, centered on the firewall near the top with no backing
plate and it works great. I did use some over size washers on the back side.
By the way I like the system a lot, always starts easy, back-up mags and no
extra batteries needed.

Ralph,
I installed my LASAR black box on the right side (sort of behind cylinder
#3) and positioned it so that one of the mounting bolts went thru the
diagonal firewall angle brace. This makes for nice ridget mounting. It also
made for a neat clean hook up for the MAP line from cyl. #3.

Oh, the good old days !!
My first BFR after my RV-4 was finished was done in the new RV-4 , with the
instructor in back with throttle quadrant and stick.
The second time he said," They say I have to fly with you but they don't say
how. YOU get in the back" !! He was a professional air show performer ,
so you know how that went - I got instruction !!
Love the RV-4

I too had a heavy wing on my 9A and went through all kinds of efforts to solve
it. Like you I started with the flaps and it was not the answer! In order to
get anywhere near the point of balancing the control force out I had turned the
rod end bearings 10 full turns making a flap that drooped noticably more down
than the other. The nines flaps are much bigger than the eights and should
have more effect, but not enough to fix anything.
Next I tried off setting the ailerons. On the first attempt it didn't work because
the ailerons just return to trail and the stick is leaned over a little bit.
But then the idea hit of only adjusting one aileron and this did fix the
problem if only in a draggy way. My thought was like this, whether it is real
or not. Again this adjustment did fix the heavy wing. Think of the bell crank
as a cam that is off set with the aileron moving up having close to twice the
travel as the opposite aileron moving down or close to twice the leverage.
With this in mind I adjusted the aileron on the light wing down in 1/2 turn increments
on the rod end bearing and test flew in between. This worked by deflecting
the heavy side aileron down slightly in flight and getting rid of the
heavy wing. The result was an aileron that was down in flight though. What I
found was that if you look at the heavy wing in flight before adjusting this
way you can see how much you are deflecting the aileron down to fly level. Use
this as a guage when setting the opposite aileron down. After adjusting it
down return the light side up to neutral and clamp it. At this point look at
the heavy side and see if the aileron is deflected down the amount or close to
it that you saw in flight.
Lastly I got tired of this droopy aileron and pulled the ailerons and removed the
brackets from the ailerons them selves. I slotted the holes and re-installed
everything. Here is where the real magic happened. By raising and lowering
the ailerons you can fine tune and your plane will fly hands off with both ailerons
neutral. This will take patience but will be worth it. A 1/16" movement
on the outboard of the aileron had dramatically more effect than 10 full turns
on the flap rod end bearing. Amazing!
Good Luck,
--------
