| Subject: | FADEC controlled engine problem |
--> RV-List message posted by: Ron Lee <ronlee@pcisys.net>
Background: New RV-7A, XP-360 engine, Aerosance FADEC system.
On the second flight the engine was surging at times. The pilot
reported a significant CHT drop on the #4 cylinder. On the first
flight that same cylinder had very high CHT but that data point
may be misleading.
Aerosance suggested moving the fuel injector to the number 2
cylinder to see if the problem moves. Certainly a valid way to
isolate a problem but since the problem was not duplicated on
a ground run it may not be best to try in again in flight.
Ignoring for now that the FADEC controller may be a problem
I am assuming three possible problems.
1) Inadequate fuel flow
2) Intermittent clog in the injector
3) Solenoid problem ( Apparently the solenoid on each injector
somehow controls the fuel injected in to the cylinder).
Fuel flow could be verified by disconnecting the fuel lines at the
injector and running the boost pump to verify fuel flow and eliminating
a clog in the line as a possible problem.
As far as the injector, I am assuming that there is a way to check
for blockage.
The owner should be checking documentation for additional info as well
as calling the manufacturer but if anyone has helpful advice it would
be appreciated.

| Subject: | Odyssey style battery -- low cost |
I came across this battery deal:
http://www.gruberpower.com/gruberpower/advertising/batteries/cutsheets/58-PC-6
80.asp
This looks like a replacement for the battery used in RVs. The price is
$28.53. Even after adding shipping that's a good price. The specs look good.
I
found more specs somewhere else on the web site. Can't find it right now.
I can't specifically endorse this battery, but a friend of mine says that
this place has the best battery deals anywhere.
I may just try one.

Looks very, very similar to the Panasonic batteries I ran in my RV-6 for
a few years. Here are details and recommendations about my experiences
with the low-priced batteries:

Dan,
Note that those are not that similar to the odyssey batteries. Those are
typical sealed lead acid while the odyssey batteries are more like an
improved gel cell. That battery weighs less and has more total energy
(22a/h vs 16 a/h) than the Odyssey of the same number/size (PC-680). That
battery also costs less.
So why get the odyssey? Cranking Amps is the main issue. Odysseys have
huge cranking ability when fully charged. Odysseys also are unspillable and
can be mounted in any position and don't need a battery box. They can
tolerated repeated deep cycling much better, and they will probably last at
least twice as long. \
It does seem like they are trying to appear as an odyssey clone by naming
their battery the PC-680.
But still, that seems like a good price for a sealed lead acid battery..
You will probably want 2 of them to be able to crank your engine reliably.
