Having studied the brake fix with the springs and bolts, I found that
the brakes on my 6a has a longer push rod which has springs on them. I
have a pulling left problem intermittenly so when taxiing back the other
day I pulled off my belt and reached down and made sure the brakes were
fully retracted, but still has slicht pull to left. I assume the caliper
is not fully retracting and wondered if anyone had experienced this and
if so how to fix. Charlie Heathco

Took Kelly's advice and contacted Skytec to inquire on availability of
rebuilt starter at a discount over a new unit. I was informed that Skytec
no longer sells rebuilt units due to a lack of sufficient cores. I guess it
was a good deal while it lasted. Dan

Charles,
I guess the obvious thing to check is - are the brake calipers sliding
freely on the two guide pins ?
If not, make sure there is no crud on the pins, and give 'em a squirt of
silicon spray, making sure none gets on the brake disc or pads.
Also, make sure that the brake line is not restricting full movement of the
caliper on the guides.
If it is not either of these, then maybe the brake piston is sticking in the
caliper and not retracting. In this case it could again be crud, or
corrosion or possibly the piston is cocked in the bore.
Easy enough to check.
Cheers
Martin in Oz

Boy, I wish you were in our area. Das local feds have said that the
engines on our homebuilts no longer conform to the TC and as such the plate
has to come off. Fortunately, they come off and go on easily. Same bunch
that were insisting on STC'd belts recently.

I have an O320 in my -8A, but I do have the nose wheel so maybe it's
close in weight... I also have an MT 3 blade prop that weights 38# with
the spinner and screws... I mounted my odyssey 625 in the bottom part
of the forward baggage compartment just behind the firewall...
I weight about 215 and it's a bit heavy in the flair solo, but nothing I
would ever complain about... It also allows me to load the crap out of
it and never get out of CG...

| Subject: | Clearance between oil cooler and engine mount? |
The oil cooler on my IO-360-A1B6 is hung a bit aft of the baffles on
the left side, and I don't have a lot of clearance between the oil
cooler flange and the engine mount. I have trimmed the flange to get
about 3/16" clearance between the oil cooler and engine mount, but
wonder if that is enough. I'd appreciate any advice from those with
flying aircraft.

That's the same set up as a guy who hangars next to me. He can't 3 point land
without passenger or lots of baggage in the back. I'd say put the battery in
the back. It will fly nicer solo without extra effort. I have an angle valve
engine, hartzell prop, battery in the back and I can 3 point right without a
passenger/luggage either. I like the way it trims out better with a passenger
in the back so I would assume you'd overall like the way the plane solos with
the battery back there too. Depends I guess on how much you are going to fly
solo vs how often you are going to take up a VERY heavy passenger.

Kevin,
This isn't an answer to your question, but more of a way of thinking about
it.: The farther you are away from the motor mount, the more clearance you
need. Since you are pretty close to the engine mount at that location, it
would seem that 3/16" might be enough.
Of course this is probably all very obvious to you but at one time in seemed
like a brilliant insight to me.

Mine is on the rear baffle and I had to grind out a semi hole in the
inboard flange to get about the same clearance as you have. It has
not yet touched the engine mount, at least not in the first 9.5 years
(1870 hours). It is; however an O-360A1A in an Rv-6.
The worst shake and furthest deviation from rest position will
probably be at the first start up. If you don't get a scrape then,
you are most likely ok.
Build fast. Fly Fast. But never get in a hurry.

Larry (and you other IO - 360 / Hartzell RV-8 guys), what was your
empty weight?
I'm wondering how close I came to meeting my weight target on my Mazda
20B three rotor powered RV-8. The goal was to be no heavier than the
Lyc / Hartzell setup.
FWIW, I'm putting the battery just aft of rear baggage area. I'm solo
most of the time and speed / fuel economy (I fly a fixed GPH setting) is
measurably better in my -4 when loaded closer to aft CG.
