Vince, this is not spam builders and flyers should be aware of new products

I have been very pleased with your new tailwheel. We operate out of an ex-navy
base that has deep tie-down stanchions every 25 feet or so. We used to bottom
out the tailwheel going over them (crunch..scrape..ouch!)it was very difficult
not to hit them. Vinces tailwheel fixed the problem by increasing clearance.
Coupled with Wayne Haddaths steering link, steering is very positive and responsive
without being twitchy. I highly recommend both!

| Subject: | Superior XP O-320 Engine - Carb Interference With Lower Cowl |
After trimming and fitting the lower cowl of my 9A to the spinner back
plate and fuselage, I've found that I have insufficient room for the
Vans air filter. The filter is about 2-3/8" high, and the space between
the cowl and carburetor is only 1-3/4". These dimensions don't even
take into consideration the thickness of the FAB or space needed between
the FAB and cowl. The carburetor appears to be Superior's normally
supplied Precision MA-4-5, but the Authorized Release Certificate refers
to the LYC 0-360 under "Eligibility".
Has anyone experienced this problem, or does anyone have any good ideas
to work around this apparent problem? I don't think I want to go with a
shorter filter, as this would reduce the cross sectional area by more
than 50%. I also don't like the idea of removing the engine and sending
it back to Superior for refit of a different carburetor.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or solutions.

Daniel - I think the issue you are running into is the same as outlined
here. http://gikoncnsdr.blogspot.com/2006/06/rv-4-cowls.html
The -9A cowl assumes a carbd O-320. I built a -9A and there was very little
room below the airbox. It sounds as though you have an o-360 carb. which I
think (not sure) is bigger. Perhaps Superior would swap it. Alternatively,
there must be a 7A cowl varient that would fit since they permit the bigger
engines. Not what you want to hear perhaps, so I would chase down the carb
details. Goodluck, Steve.

Cowl
Had this same issue with my IO-320 with AFP fuel injection controller - t
he 320 cowl isn't big enough. I had to use the 360 cowl. I guess you don'
t have the option of swapping it out with Vans now that you've trimmed it
(try it on with them ?). You could always break out the fiberglass suppl
ies and re-fabricate the lower portion ...

Cowl
I was able to get Superior on the phone this morning and confirm that
there is indeed an interference problem between the MA-4-5 carburetor
and Van's cowls. They're accepting full responsibility and will be
shipping me a new Precision carb that is 1-1/2" shorter than the MA-4-5.
That should make the first engine run a little more interesting.

I just got off the phone with John Stark: 706-321-1008. He has a few (4?)
GMA340 audio panels, "overhauled" from Garmin, for $975. He explained that
"overhauled" is actually new with a one year warranty instead of two year.
No prewire required. I got one, no commission here, just passing on a good
price.

Daniel
I've just been through this with my IO-320 in an RV9A. As Steve says the
default lower cowl for a RV9A is for a carburetted O-320. For anything
bigger, like my IO-320 you need a O-360 lower cowl. This is identical
except that the scoop is bigger.
In my case I had told Vans I had the injected engine so they had shipped
the wrong cowl. The solution was to cut out the O-320 scoop and glass in
an O-360 one. The part number for this is FAB-6-SCOOP-360-1 ($160). This
gives the clearance for the fuel injector. The remainder of the lower
cowl is the same for all models of 320 and 360 across the complete RV6,
7 and 9 range.
The process of removing the 320 scoop and fitting the 360 one was not
too difficult. Let me know if you want a blow by blow description
Hope this helps
Best Regards
Peter

Yes, that is what I was told when I asked about it. I had them on my

standard cast cylinders and said they would credit me back the
differance. Still waiting to see if that happens. Sure hope so.

Usually, that's a negotiated topic between you and your DAR. It depends on
the cruising speed of your airplane. With our Glasairs we normally want at

it from Superior. So why does that not work since it does work for VANS? I
