| Subject: | Mixture & fuel flow |
--> RV-List message posted by: "RV6 Flyer" <rv6_flyer@hotmail.com>
There should be something in the archives about fuel flow reading higher
with the boost pump on. I see 17 GPH fuel flow full power takeoff with the
boost pump on near sea level.
The mixture control on my carb come out very far in normal cruise at any
altitude. It is at least 1/2 way or more out at most cruise altitudes.
It will take many tanks of gas to get the fuel flow constant adjusted to a
value you like. Early on numbers and not very meaningful.
The fuel transducer is 2.5% accurate. You should be able to adjust the
constant it uses to get that close at ONE and only one power setting.
I record all fuel used in my airplane in a spreadsheet and reset the fuel
totalizer every fill. I only check the constant once a year now and it sits
right at 3.5% more fuel used than what I purchase over the course of a year.
Yes I could adjust it more to get closer but I like the idea of having
more fuel than what my instruments tell me.

I suggest you read the three excellent articles on the left side of this
web page:
http://www.advancedpilot.com/assist.html
These will give you lots of good information about leaning (and properly
operating) your engine. These techniques work best with fuel injected
engines, but are also applicable to carbureted engines.

And for those with the AF pump, how do you service that filter without

Apologies in advance if these sound stupid. I blame my parents for that. (g)

=================================
Bob:
YES - Filtering is done on both wings right in the cabin BEFORE it gets to
the fuel selector or the fuel pump. I used LARGE clear plastic auto motive
type. Make sure you install it in the correct direction and CAREFULLY take a
Xacto Knife and remove and flashing around the in & out fittings. ALSO - Make
sure you de-burr the ID of the cut fuel lines. You don't want to reduce the flow
due to the rolled in burr from cutting the lines.
I am one of those that do not believe in the Gascolator ... I do believe in a
LOW POINT collection point and drain. I have seen two problems with the
Gascolator, one is brand related in that it would NOT open and takes quite a bit
of twisting force on the firewall; the brand is the ANDAIR.
The other problem I have seen is when the cowl was installed ... The hole in
the cowl did not match to the Gascolator and since it did not the drain/purge
function of the Gascolator was lost.
Pump servicing - Best would be to move the pump to the forward side of the
firewall. Other than that ... towels.

On this subject has anyone found a good "no headband" headset for the RVs?
I don't have much headroom in the RV4 so I bought a Panther headset that
uses custom earmolds. The headset fits perfect and is Sooo comfortable, on
the ground it works great, but above 1500rpm and the mic feeds all the noise
to the intercom and radio. The earmolds block out as much noise as our
Telex ANR and Bose ANR, but since the mic is useless I need another
solution. I have been fighting with it since May and just today sent it
back again this time with a recording of different headsets vs. theirs. I
expect I will be getting a refund and will try something else. I was
impressed with the ClarityAloft headset at Oshkosh, but it was not in an
aircraft. I would have been impressed with the Panther on the ground. Any
advise would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

A friend of mine who currently owns a J3 Cub wants to build either an
RV-7 or -8. He has flown in a -6 so has a fair understanding of what
the-7 is like, but would like to try on the -8 for size. We both live
in the Oklahoma City area. He would be happy to take anyone for a ride
in his Cub (as if an RV driver would want to ride in a Cub :)

I have about 300 hrs of J-3 time, and if someone asks which are my
favorite hours in the air, the J-3 or the RV-6, I would be hard pressed
to make a decision.
Ain't nothin' like a Cub down low on a late summer evening......

I'm really happy with my Aurricom set. The only complaint I can think of is
that during the test phase (experimental engine... little bit of tweaking) I
was in & out often and hands would get a little dirty and soon you would
have an ear piece that you really didn't want to put back in your ear.
Fortunatly they come with spare foam ear-pieces. Custom earmolds are also an
option, but I've not found that I needed them. I must admit that I was a new
pilot at the time, so didn't have any bias toward conventional headsets as
I'd only had a few hours using them.

I like my Clarity, takes more time to get on and sometimes bothers my ears.
Pressure changes from altitude can also be a slight anoyance. The mic and
sound quality are the best I've ever seen. My Bose X is easier to put on
and about the same noise cancelling but heavier and messes up the little bit
of hair that I have. Both have their + & - and either make a great choice.

I bought a $700 pair of Telex's the Stratus 50D's, they had a hiss.
Sent those back got the Bose, which are pretty good, but don't have
enough passive attentuation in my opinion, they let more high
frequencies through than they should.

| Subject: | Aileron Brackets |
Hi all,
I assembled my aileron brackets today and commenced riveting them on the
rear spar. I found that I couldn't get my squeezer to reach the most forward
rivet (near the already riveted on top skin). I couldn't figure out how to
buck it effectively, so I decided to put a cherrymax rivet in. It seems quite
solid. Have not done the other wing yet. Does that seem sound or should I
drill it out and think some more?
Regards,
