Congrats Mannan!
Always a major thrill on first flight.
Sounds like a governor setting needs work.
Good luck on the flight testing.
You only need 39.9 hours to get to Oshkosh :)

| Subject: | mounting strobe power supply in RV-6/6A |
--> RV-List message posted by: sarg314 <sarg314@comcast.net>
I have the Whelen strobe power supply to run 3 strobes ( HDACF). It's
got a mounting plate that is about 6" square. It weighs 2 Lbs. I want
to mount it just behind the baggage bulkhead some where. First idea, to
simply mount it to the belly skin was rejected. The skin's not braced
enough.
Putting a shelf of some sort from the central rib to the side skin
seems like too large a run and gets in the way of accessing the elevator
bell crank unless youplace it rather far aft. I'd like to keep it as
far forward as possible.
I could make a mounting "shelf" attached vertically to the aft side of
the skin that screws to the baggage bulkhead, down low the lower
corner. Problem there is you'd have to remove or diconnect the thing
everytime you removed the skin. It's an easy installation, though,
since you can work on the bench instead of int he plane.
Another idea is to mount it oriented vertically on the side of the
fuse, up high. One bracket attached to the bulkhead itself, the other
to the skin. The skin's flat there. A piece of 1/16 angle 7" long
rivetted vertically between the 2 J strips would be plenty solid and I
think the skin is strong enough there.
The baggage floor is rivetted down so that closes off some possibilities.
If any one has some ideas or photos on a web site, I would be very
appreciative.

Obviously not a direct answer to your question, but why not mount it between
the battery box and the fuel selector? Make a little shelf between two of
the floor stringers and put it on the shelf. This is also a good location
for your ELT, oxygen bottle, or fire extinguisher.

Tom,
I used screws instead of rivets to fasten down my right side baggage
floor. I added two stiffeners to the floor panel between the ribs and
mounted the power supply upside below the baggage floor. Whelen said it can
be mounted any direction and cooling was not a factor. Also, I have no
strobe noise in the headsets, even with the comm antenna on the belly under
the seats.

Kyle:
Yes, that's a good location, functionally, but likely to get
kicked. I'd want to make some sort of cover for it (there's 5000v in
one of those wires). Besides, I plan on putting the fire extinguisher
there. Also, the wires from the strobe supply have to end up on the aft
side of the wing spar, so it's convenient if they start out on the aft
side of the wing spar to begin with. That ay only the power & ground
wires cross the spar.

I would caution you on putting your strobe power supply in a location near
to anything that may leak fuel... Strobe power supplies send very high
voltage to the strobe heads and it would make for a very bad day if for some
reason your fuel selector should happen to leak on the connections to the
strobe heads...
Just an FYI...

Tom,
My RV sports two Whelen power supplies, and I mounted a unit to each outboard wing
rib. In your case, perhaps it is advantageous to mount your single unit
to the right wing given that side is usually built a bit lighter than the left
wing if your landing light and pitot installation is located on the left wing.
The photo illustrates my installation technique on the right wing. As shown,
the wing tip rests atop the wing showing the internally mounted VOR antenna
bolted inside the tip.

There was some discussion several weeks back re use of MOGAS with fuel injected
engines. I expect to be finished with the fuselage by the end of the year and
am considering various engine options. I called Superior on Monday and was
told that their XP360 fuel injected engines with 7.2/1 or 8.5/1 pistons will run
very happily on MOGAS, 87 octane (non-ethanol) and 91 octane(non-ethanol)
respectively. However, the 200 HP version (FI of course) of that engine does
require 100LL avgas. The 7.2/1 version is not terribly popular and it does
cost an extra $100.
I'm leaning toward the 8.5/1 version with the fuel injection.

Tom,
I mounted mine to the bottom rear of the baggage bulkhead and it's never
been a problem. Removing it is as simple as disconnecting a few plugs.
It was the simplest and lightest way to mount it and I'd do it the same
way again.

Mine went on the aft side of the baggage bulkhead, slightly left of
center and just below the seam between the two halves of the
bulkhead . It has worked well. Now that I have done many
inspections, mods and maintenance I would recommend putting it on the
top half bulkhead. Reason being that I have not had the need to
remove that one in the last several years. There fore I would not
have to unplug the power wires each time I take off the bulkhead for
inspections etc.
I also like Bobby Hester picture, since that belly skin is an oil
canner and those rails should stiffen them up a bit!

Note the important "non-ethanol" caveat. What will you do if most auto fuels
are ethanol enhanced? In the great Tim Allen tradition, I would give
consideration
to 200 HP and not worry about auto fuel. Tis your ultimate choice.
For those who fly a lot, how many people bother with auto fuel? I for one
do not and have no desire to.

The James videos are gone as are the Sporty's Flight Review and the
Sporty's Airspace and Weather (thanks Dean and DJ). I decided to break
out the Paintucation videos so you can pick and choose. So here is what
I still have:
- Sporty's Instrument Proficiency Check DVD for $20
- Paintucation's Paint Your Own Car DVD for $25
- Paintucation's Color Sanding and Buffing DVD for $25
- Paintucation's Metal Prep & Rust Repair DVD for $25
- Paintucation's Body Shop Basics! DVD for $25
- Paintucation's Xtreme Detailing! DVD for $25
Thanks again. Not trying to SPAM the list, I really hope someone gets
as much use out of these as I did! I really liked the Paintucation
videos, very well done. I'll throw them on eBay after the holidays if I
don't get any other bites.

We may have to figure something else, at that time. Until we have to do
that, I will continue to use autogas in my aircraft. It's a great
alternative to the more expensive 100LL and leaves my engine's plugs lead
free. I, for one, appreciate the debate on whether FI engines can operate
on mogas. It appears they can. That's goodness and gives us auto gas users
more engine options.
One might want to consider the fact that the Feds have been looking at
alternatives for 100LL. I'd worry more about losing 100LL than I would
having to deal with ethanol, right now. Granted, some areas have to deal
with ethanol; but, many of us can still get plenty of ethanol free gas.

That is a good choice for Ron; but, using mogas over the years has saved me
a bundle of money that I could use on other things like maintenance,
insurance, etc. I say, don't knock it unless you've tried it.
Obviously, there are those amongst us who have deeper pockets than many of
us who are barely able to stay in aviation; so, it's easy to suggest that we
spend our money on the most expensive options available. We of the lesser
income variety are not opposed to using such things as auto conversions,
auto gas, etc to keep us afloat. For those of you who have more money than
you know what to do with, follow the lead to buy 200hp engines that must use
100LL. That will leave more of the lower hp cores for the rest of us. :-)

There may be more of us using auto gas than you think. Just this morning, I
overheard one pilot asking a local FBO if they sold auto gas.
Unfortunately, he had to top off with 100LL. I'm sure he was disappointed.
I would have been. Had he landed at our airport, I'd have taken him to the
local gas station for some gas. I just happened to have my gas cans in the
truck. :-)

Hmmm, I don't think that will help with oil canning. It looks as if the
rails are suspended on each end at the bulkheads and not in contact with
the skin. I bought another rib from Van's - the one that the elevator
bellcrank is mounted to (sorry I don't have the part # at my fingertips)
and fit it parallel to the existing one and made a sort of avionics
deck.
Things wound up crowded and I mounted on the side of it. That black
thing at the aft end is a remote compass sensor which I'll probably end
up not using.

Congratulations, Mannan - what a magnificant achievement! I sympathise about the
minor setback - it feels like a big thing at the time, but I've learned that
each snag is just another step in the process. You can fix it and fly on. Remember
a few weeks back you thought the project was finished? :)

MOGAS is all I use unless I fill up somewhere away from home and it's
not available. I have no reason to pay $4 /gal when I can fly on $3 / gal.
