Black jack founder (co-founder?) Marty Foy's RV-4 had just under 2000
hours on engine & plane when I got the chance to ride with him doing
formation aerobatics last October. I believe he was planning an
engine overhaul over the winter.

Hey All-
This thread got me to thinking- (scarry, huh?) Does anyone know of an
anti-reflective coating that could be applied to the canopy? Being able to
get rid of random reflections would not only be really cool for
photography, but also for simple daily aviation... Especially at night!

--> RV-List message posted by: "Snow, Daniel A." <Daniel.Snow@wancdf.com>
Superior is discounting its XP engines by $500 and providing free
shipping in the US for orders placed before the end of the month. I
haven't read any threads recently about their engines, and haven't read
anything at all about their new XP-0320. I've been planning all along
to purchase an Aerosport engine, but this deal is tempting. Without
starting a LONG discussion of engines, does anyone want to give me some
reasons for not going with this engine?
Thanks,

| Subject: | EGT Probe position |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Dana Overall" <bo124rs@hotmail.com>
I'm getting ready to drill the holes in my Vetterman exhaust for
installation of the Dynon supplied EGT probes. The intake tubes eliminate
positioning the probes pointing directly rearward so some offset is needed.
What is the desired positioning of the probe, ie., probe pointing outside of
the intake tubes or inside the intake tube. My thoughts are to go inside of
the tubes, making a cleaning wire run to the thermocouple harness wires.
Any thoughts, pics or other ideas?
Also, on my exhaust the #1 exhaust has a elbow bend about 2" below the
flange. To position the probe on a flap spot I have to go past the bend.
The distance brings the other three probes right at the intersection points
of the joints. If they are within say, two inches of #1 but 2,3 & 4 are the
same distance surely I won't have a noticable difference in actual EGT
between #1 and the other 3. Care to comment??

==========================
Dana:
The EGT is only a reference item. So as long as you keep the reference the
same on all probes you will do OK. What is meant by reference is that when
comparing to other peoples systems the readings will vary. Just try to keep the
probe location as uniform as posable on your system. Yes, 1 & 2" differences
will be noticed. Also difference will be noted between cylinders especially
on Lycoming engines that are carboratored since the spider distribution system
is extremely poor.

FWIW I placed my #1 EGT probe just above the bend in the Vettermann exhaust, also
on an O-360A1A BTW, which put it just about 2 inches down from the exhaust
port and located the others at the same distance. All the probes point aft and
slightly outboard to provide clearance for removing plugs. This has worked
out very well for me so far. I believe you will get more useful information relative
to engine performance if the probes are located
the same distance from the exhaust ports.

It can also happen when the builder dimples directly on the
pre-punched #42 size hole. If the hole is below #40 size, small micro
cracks can be formed during the dimpling process. The same thing
happens when dimpling #19 holes for #8 machine screws. When dimpling
for a #8 screw, open the hole up to a #17 size drill. Ask me how I
know this! :-(

Where did you get that picture? I took that picture in about 1971 of Van in his
RV-3 flying along side of my VW powered Chris Tena Minicope. I was inspired to
build a RV when Van would come by me and do loops around me. I knew that someday
I would build an RV. Well it took till 1987 for me to start and 1989 to make
the first flight but I am still flying my RV-6 18 years later. I see people
with high times but I only have about 1200 hours on mine in 18 years.

Section 5E of the -7 manual contains a caution about the potential for cracks to
develop from pre-punched holes that are not match drilled... drilling removes
shear marks left by the punch process.
"... removing the shear marks is important because if left alone, the skin can
crack around the hole due to the stretching caused by the dimple dies. This
cracking may not be apparent for several years after many hours of vibrations
and flight cycles."

Jerry,
I wish I could remember. It was on somebody's website. I've had it for
quite a few years, and kind of forgot about it until this thread got me
thinking.
And, yes, I know it was Van. I didn't know that you took it though. It
is a cool pciture.
