I think spraylat would work a whole lot better if it was put on in two
or three coats.

Subject: | RE: KR> Premium Aircraft Parts |
I was going to post something about them a few months ago but I changed my
mind thinking maybe it was just one bad deal. Now I am sorry I didn't. I
might have saved you some trouble.
I was doing a top overhaul on an O-290D on my Pacer. I had several broken
rings and all the pistons were shot, but the cylinders could be stretched
another 500 hours until I was ready to upgrade to an O-320. (The 290D has
awefull parts availibility and prices compared to the 320) I had to decide
between $4,000 for exchanged cylinders with new pistons or about $1,200 for
just honing the cylinders and putting in new pistons and rings. Premium was
the only company that said they had the pistons and rings and they had a
good price. The cylinder overhaul shops would not sell pistons without the
cylinders because the sets they had left were all they could get.
I ordered the pistons and rings from Premium and sent the cylinders off to
Don George to be inspected, honed, and repainted. The day the cylinders
were being shipped back I called Premium to get a tracking number and was
told "We are still looking for them" What kind of BS is this? I spent a
bunch of money and wasted a week to have my old cylinders done and the only
company that said they had them in stock now couldn't come up with them. To
make a long story a little shorter, I wound up buying overhauled cylinders
and pistons from Gibson (great company, I would highly recommend them) and
the fresh painted and honed cylinders I paid to ship all over the place for
nothing were returned as my cores.
I have attached part of my correspondence with them at the bottom of this
email. I am also copying this to the Mustang and RV lists to let everyone
else know to beware of Premium. I also need to go back and look at my
credit card statements and make sure they have not charged me.

Woodward oil leak Help..
Has any one that has Vans Woodward governor,had oil leaks
around the 1/4 mounting studs to the unit..Even after replacing
with new gasket,there is oil coming out at the studs at 2000 rpm
or more!!I know that there is a lot of pressure this unit puts out,
but I really do not want to send it out to be checked if anyone has
had this same problem..It has only about 130 hrs on it..
Anyone have any ideas???

Subject: | BlueMountain Auto Pilot Q's |
Hello Flight:
I am finishing up installing the Blue Mountain Auto Pilot in an RV-6A. The Altitude
hold servo is installed as well as the interface box. Now comes the difficult
part, installing the roll servo. I say difficult because the plane is
competed and flying and the installation is an after thought ... Many years after.
Installing the servo in the wing is not an option. After doing some fit checking
I have come up with an installation point on the pilot side half under the
seat and half into the area by the stick and under the left leg.
I am thinking about running the push rod from the servo to the right and connecting
the rod-end-bearing to the Hex Connecting Rod that goes between the pilot
& co-pilot sticks.
The method of connection would be to drill and tap the Hex Rod for a 1/4 - 28 thread
and use LocTite to secure it.
Each end of the push rod will have the rod-end-bearings to help in converting the
rotational arc movement of the servo to a liner movement for the aileron push
rods.
>From all I can see ... YES ... It will also handle the forward and back rock of
the stick.
So, what is my question(s)?
1 - Is the Hex Rod HOLLOW?
2 - From what I can ROUGHLY measure it is 9/16" from flat to flat. And since all
the stress in longitudinal do you feel that drilling and tapping a 1/4 - 28
thread in the Hex Rod is acceptable?
3 - If your answer to Q2 is NO then what method of connection do you recommend?
Thanks Flight, your help is greatly appreciated.

If the screw that connects the servo's rod end to the flight controls
is too small, it may fail. This disables the autopilot, but leaves
you with normal flight controls. If it is too big the hex rod may
fail, and this may lead to a flight control jam, if the loose end of
hex rod catches on something. Given the consequences of either
failure, I'd much rather bias the probable failures towards a failure
of the connection to the servo's control rod, rather than towards a
failure of the hex rod that connects the sticks.
I suggest you use a smaller rod end, such that you would only need to
drill and tap a 3/16" hole in the hex rod, or smaller. As a point of
reference, the Navaid devices wing leveler servo uses tiny rod ends
that go over #5 screws (about 1/8" diameter) at the servo control arm
and at the flight controls, and I have never heard of a problem. So
you could get by with a much smaller connection both than 1/4", if
you can find a suitable combination of hardware.

I'm currently adding my Trio Avionics altitude hold servo in the back of

Well it is leaking at the 10 o'clock stud and moving back and pooling

little,but removed and installed with new gasket..I have been chasing
this leak since I installed the new eng and governor,and got mad and
said this is going to stop!!It will only show up at the 2000 and operate
the CS some and out it comes...I sure hate to have to send it off for

I have a rebuilt Woodward gov that works fine. Leaked at one time, but a
new gasket fixed it.
You've witnessed it squirt out at that location? It can't be coming from
something up higher on the accessory case and leaking down? Just a
thought....sometimes it's hard to tell......

Subject: | Re: [RV-8] Clearance between oil cooler and engine mount? |
Kevin,
I have a scant 1/4 in. clearance between the body of my cooler and the engine mount
after grinding away most of the cooler flange in a semi circle near the
engine mount. As a precaution I installed a short length of breather hose over
the mount at the potential contact point which reduced the clearance to about
1/8 in. So far I have not seen any evidence of contact.
