| Subject: | O360 kit sold, another one in the making |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Dana Overall" <bo124rs@hotmail.com>
The following kit is sold and was picked up by the customer's brother (RV-9A
driver) this past Friday in FP variety. I had the bearings and gaskets on
the shelf at Aircraft Specialties but the customer opted to wait until this
week for me to get the bearings and gaskets from ECI. In doing so, I was
able to substitute new pushrods at no additional cost.
I am putting together another O360 kit much like this past engine. I have
another engine in hand along with a hollow crank. I will wait until I have
all the machined parts in hand before I post the kit. If you are one of the
ones interested in the past engine, send me an email at Bo124rs@hotmail.com
or call one of the numbers listed below.
O360-A1A ENGINE/PROP/GOVERNER PACKAGE
I have the following ON HAND and ready for shipment. I can substitute a
solid crank and sell the package for $12,000 or include the Constant Speed
prop and governer and sell is as a constant speed setup for $16,500. To hold
the package until you can get the remaining funds I need $5000.00 with
remainder to ship or $5000.00 deposit, $7000.00 additional to ship engine
with remaining $4500.00 before I ship the prop/gov. Trying to make it so you
don't have to come up with all the money up front.

Hi Listers,
I am planning to move to Texas from Oregon in mid to late October. My plan
e will have been inspected and maybe 15 hours flown off by then. I asked m
y DAR if I could get a ferry permit to move it to Texas. Since it crosses
several teritorries, he was not certain. Has anybody ever done this?
I definately want to have enough time on the plane to be comfortable and ha
ve any issues worked out. But will need to establish a new phase one area
once it is relocated.

John,
I saw something in a paper write-up where someone installed a cable with springs
from each of their right side pedals. It went forward to and then up the firewall
with springs in the middle initially to keep tension. IIRC they later
incorporated something electrical (MAC servo maybe) to bias the springs and provide
electrical trim capability.
I'll try to remember to find it....

It appears VisionMicro has moved and may have been sold by JP Instruments.
If you call VM, their is a recording that gives you a new number
830-750-6330 and states they have moved. The recording does say where.
When you call the new number you get a recoring and so far no one has
returned my calls.
Does anyone know what is happeing with VM?

That's strange. I have never had a problem placing a phone order or otherwise with
Aircraft Spruce. Since Aircraft Spruce has been willing to match comprtitors'
price (verifiable), I research the best price for the item (normally big ticket
stuff) and then place the order with them. They normally ship the same day.
On one occasion, I noticed that the price of an item had been reduced by more
than $300 a week or so after I had ordered that item. One phone call to their
customer service department and the difference was quickly refunded. I have
been very satisfied with their service.

For idle mixture, slowly pull the mixture out from full rich to idle
cutoff. You should see a small rise in RPM just prior to cutoff. If
not, it may be too lean already so unscrew the idle mixture screw 1/2
turn and try again. And agin until you get the RPM rise.
For high speed (over 1000 RPM) the idle mixture is not a player, but you
can still do the leaning thing at full throttle .... tie the tail to
something that won't move (unless you have really good brakes), lean to
cutoff and see what happens. You should get the same RPM rise that you
get in flight as you lean, then it will run rough as some cylinders get
too lean ..... and finally cutoff.

Sorry for the multiple posts, but I had another thought.
Have you checked for intake leaks??? Easy to do if you have a shop vac
that can connect the hose to the output side. Clean the vacuum out
really well. Remove the cowl and stuff the hose into the intake on the
engine. Seal around the hose with some rags. Turn the 'blower' on and
spray all around the intakes with soapy water and look for bubbles. The
most common leak is where the intake stubs are pressed (actually rolled)
into the oil sump. The second most common are the short hoses that
couple the stubs to the curved intake tubes.

Bert,
Clean air filter, check the mixture screws/bolts to see they have not changed,
along with the other stuff you're doing should clear it up. If not, write
again and we'll all diagnois more from there.

It appears VisionMicro has moved and may have been sold by JP Instruments.
If you call VM, their is a recording that gives you a new number
830-750-6330 and states they have moved. The recording does say where.
When you call the new number you get a recoring and so far no one has
returned my calls.
Does anyone know what is happeing with VM?

I would check the intake tubes for leaks all the way

=============================
WOW! This a a total open ended question....
What is the history of the engine?
Is it as new as the 30 hours?
Have you tried different fuel?
Are yo sure of the octane of the fuel?
Is there or has there been WATER in the fuel?
How long has the engine sat?
Is there in line filters coming from each tank BEFORE it gets to the Boos
Pump (found this to be a problem in a friends plane - It needed better filtering
than that LOUSY gascolator and Carb Filter)?
How are the wires?
How good is your friend or you with the timing box? Having one is not enough.
So many questions so little time.
Does this give you some ideas on how to begin your diagnostics?
A two item check is only the beginning.

I agree with Pat. There are those on the list who get great service
from ASC; but, there are also those of us who've had poor service from
them. I've never had a problem with their phones; but, I've had other
problems that keep me from being a happy customer. I found out about
Wicks and have used them a lot, since. No complaints.
BTW, for the one who said give them a second chance. I did just that
and was really disappointed. Fool me once, shame on them. Fool me
twice, shame on me. I may still do a little business with ASC, if I
can't get what I need elsewhere; but, I won't use them as a major
source, in the future. Oh, yeah. Jim Irwin and I discussed my concerns
after I've made other posts on the list. Once trust is lost, it's
pretty hard to get it back.

ONE IS THE 1.877 477.7823 and regular one 951.372.9555
I know they are not the fastest to answer the telephone, but for pete's sake
2 weeks, waiting for up to 3 minutes, and no answer , just the commercial
and the you know,...all agents are busy but your call is important to us etc..
I think, maybe the mgt, does not know about this...if we complaint,
maybe the will change...
Hope so.,, we need them.... ON THE OTHER SIDE WICKS IS EXCELLENT ON THIS..
FAST ON THE PHONE, AND TWICE AS FAST ON SHIPPING... BUT THEY DON"T ALWAYS
HAVE THE SAME THINGS ACS HAS...THEY ARE SAMALLER IN SOMES RESPECT...
WELL WE WILL SEE IF MY LETTER WOULD HELP..

I KNOW THEY ARE NOT THE FASTEST WHEN IT COMES TO ANSER THE PHONE, BUT NOW
FOR PETE'S SAKE...TWO WEEKS TRYING, HOLDING FOR UP TO 3 MINUTES,, JUST
LISENNING, TO THE ALL'' AGENTS ARE BUSY, BUT YOUR CALL IS IMPORTANT TO US.
AND THEN THE COMMERCIAL STARTS,, I THINK THEY WANT EVERY ONE TO HEAR THEIR
PITCH... REGARDLESS...
MAYBE THE LETTER WILL DO SOME GOOD,, MAYBE MGT DOES NO KNOW ABOUT THIS...
AS TO WICKS... NO QUESTION, WHEN IT COMESS TO ANSWERING THE PHONE THEY
ARE THE BEST. ALSO SHIPPING IS THREE TIMES FASTEST THAN ACS...
BUT THEY DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE THE THINGS ONE IS LOOKING FOR...ACS...IS MUCH
BIGGER..
IS JUST 101 BUSINESS....
WE WILL SEE.

I am surprised to read this note as I have had nothing but excellent
service from AS&S... I'm on my 3rd plane and have ordered about
everything I can from them. Orders ship the same day, they have most
everything in stock, and the prices are reasonable. Much better than
the service I get from Van's..... Sometimes it takes 3-5 days just to
get the stuff out of the door, then they charge a flat $4 for handling,
then add shipping and handling charges on top of that.... But their
planes are reasonably priced.... So I guess that makes up for it in my
mind.......

I KNOW IN THE PAST, THEY ARE NOT THE FASTEST TO ANSWER THE PHONE, BUT
AT LEAST YOU GOT SOME ONE.... BUT NOW FOR 2 WEEKS,,I HAVE HOLD THE LINE
FOR 3MINUTES...AND ALL I GET IS THE ALL AGENTS ARE BUSY, BUT YOUR CALL IS
IMPORTANT TO US....
AND AGAIN LATER THE SAME...IN BETWEEN YOU GET THE COMMERCIAL....
IS NOT COMPARISON, WITH WICKS,,,THEY REALLY ARE FAST, WHEN IT COMES TO
ANSWERING THE PHONE, NO COMMERCIALS.. AND THE SHIPPING IS INCREADIBLE FAST
I GET THINGS, NORMAL FIRST CLASS MAIL, NO THAT BUSS. OF EXPRESS MAILS AT
& 8.00 OR WHATEVER,, IN THREE DAYS USUALLY...
BUT THEY DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE THE STUFF YOU NEED... ACS... IS BIGGER CO.
THEY DO NOT NEED THE BUSINESS,,,,..IF THEY WOULD, I GUARANTEED YOU, THEY
WILL ANSWER THE PHONE AT THE SECOND RING...
THAT IS THE WAY MANY COMPANIES ARE TODAY,,.
HOPE MY LETTER WOULD CHANGE THIS... MAYBE MGT. DOE NOT KNOW ABOUT..

John,
I have a rudder trim setup from my RV-6 that uses a mac trim servo and
installs in the rudder itself.
You could retrofit it to your rudder with some effort, but the design
work,
procurement, assembly work, and testing is all done.
I found that it stayed at one setting, high cruise, all the time,
didn=92t
really find a need to use it any other time, so it came out as part of
my
weight reduction efforts a few years ago.
I now use the integrated tab fixed in cruise setting.

I spoke with VM only a week ago. Friday and today when I called I heard a
recording stating VM has moved. The new number given in the recording is
830-755-6330. I called the new number and received another recording. I
left a message at the new number on Friday and have heard nothing back. The
new number is in Boerne, Texas near San Antonio. I have unfinished work to
be done on my system and need to contact them. I guess I will wait and hope
someome calls.
Late this afternoon I called JP Instruments and asked what was happening
with VM. I could tell the person knew, but was unwilling to tell me. They
said the Company Controller, Scott, would call me. Scott has not called.

Hi John-
I spent (wasted?) an inordinate amount of effort (just because...) to develop
one of these- see:
http://websites.expercraft.com/n51pw/index.php?q=log_entry&log_id=4968
...for my take on the whole thing. In the end I opted (mostly for safety
reasons: what happens when one of the springs breaks or comes
un-attached/bound/etc.?) to adhere to the KISS thing and left it unconnected for
phase I and
didn't need it anyway. Rudder bias on departure for p-factor? "You put yer right
foot in and you..."
FWIW as usual From The PossumWorks in TN

Dave,
Suggest you consider insulating the firewall with 3M Vibration Dampinng Tape
or equivalent. This will provide a fire barrier and also reduce temps to
normal cabin temps. This is a standard insulation for aircraft and is
readily available.

| Subject: | Fuel flow pulsation dampener |
I have a J P fuel flow/fuel totalizer but are somewhat disappointed in the fuel
flow readings. These fluctuate constantly within a +/- up to 1 gl/hr rate.
Now my installation is not accordingly to the manufactures recommendation which
calls for 6 inches of straight line on the inlet and outlet sides. I attached
the sensor right to the gascolator out side since this seems to be a much sounder
installation scheme.
Questions for those who have been there: Is it worthwhile (time, $) to install
the Dralle dampener??
I do not recall seeing too many post on this subject on the list. Could not find
anything in the achieves.

I have Superior cylinders s/n 8, 9, 10 , and 11 running for the past almost
9 years and 1,950 hours. Compression is still good and using 1 qt of oil
every 6 hours. About ready to retire them.

| Subject: | Re: Relocating plane prior to phase one complete |
Why don't you just go spend a good hard weekend or two of flying and burn
off the hours, then do the real flight testing after you get to Texas?
I had a similar situation and got my 40 hrs. flown off in less than 3 weeks
of weekend flying. Proof of durability before your cross country meets the
letter and spitit of the law, expecially if you then continue the testing
later.
