Luckily, in Oklahoma we have a senator who is an RV8 pilot and he negotiated
the whole state as the test area excluding specific controlled airspace. I
used the same DAR and got the same thing.

I drew out an area on an old sectional and asked the DAR to set it as my
phase 1 test area.
I explained to him my reasoning for the area:
1) A 25 mile circle would put me over Atlanta/Hartsfield, and neither of us
wanted that.
2) The area was familiar to me - I knew lots of alternate landing sites.
3) The area had a wide selection of nice paved runways.
4) The area was fairly lightly populated.
He had no problem with my request.

I think I saw yesterday that Precision Airmotive used to be Marvel. It
looks like Superior originally supplied me with a Precision MA-4-5 and
are going to replace it with a Precision MA-4-SPA which is 1-1/2"
shorter. I don't know the model carb that you would normally get from
Vans.

Daniel - now I am confused! From what you say you are building an RV9A
with
an O-320 and the Marvel is the standard unit as VANS would ship only you
got
it from Superior. So why does that not work since it does work for VANS?
I
thought I had understood this!

My DAR was new and wanted to go by the book which included the very small ~25 mile
radius flight test area minus any Class B space. 25 miles East of me would
include a lot of Class B airspace. I took out a sectional and picked up some
key strategic airports NE, N, NW, W, SW and S from my airport to avoid the class
B airspace East of me. The distance from the NE one to the SW one was probably
over 100 NM apart. I then circled within my area where I wanted to do
Acro & spins and another area where I wanted to set up a large triangle for my
airspeed calibration runs. I also pointed out which airports had cheap fuel
and the one that had the prop balancing shop & avionics shops. I also made sure
he knew the farthest away one was chosen because it had a large grass strip
which I was very familiar with. In the end, he consented. There's no way I
would have been happy flying off those hours in any smaller area so I would recommend
you try to get what you want.

Marvel Schebler was acquired by Bendix, who later sold the product line
to Precision Airmotive. They handle both the carburetors and the Bendix
fuel injection systems, with factory at/near Paine Field in Everett, WA.

Depends on the authority area of your DAR or the FSDO you are working with.
In my case it was not a true circle of a certain size but more defined by
the area the DAR had authority to deal within. I think I was more or less
about 50nm but could not cross into Indiana from Henderson, KY but I could
cross into some parts of southern Illinois. Larry in Indiana

Daniel,
I may be incorrect, but I thought the MA-4-5 (deeper) is for O-360
engines, whereas the MA-4 (shallower) is for the O-320 engines? That's
why Vans makes different depth cowlings (320 vs. 360), but that also
makes and engine swap to 180hp difficult if you were to have started
with the cowling for the O-320. If it were me I'd use the bigger cowling
from the getgo regardless of engine choosen. Like I said, I may be
totally off the deep end here, so please do not archive.
I think I saw yesterday that Precision Airmotive used to be Marvel. It
looks like Superior originally supplied me with a Precision MA-4-5 and

Sounds like he is going to have to ask the owner what this means. It's not
a standard designation that I'm aware of.
General Format:
C-D-M
Where:
C Letters indicating the engine's configuration:
I Fuel injected
O Opposed type (pancake-style)
X X-type engine
R Radial type engine
G Engine is geared
T Engine is turbocharged
S Engine is supercharged
L Engine is left-turning
A Engine is designed for aerobatics (DRY SUMP)
AE Engine is designed for aerobatics (WET SUMP)
M Engine is designed for unmanned drone (UNCERTIFIED)
H Engine is designed for helicopter installation
V Engine is designed to have the crankshaft in the

"H"
D The engine's displacement in cubic inches.
M Configuration. Includes power rating, nose section,

Got to disagree with that viewpoint Dan. 11 miles where

Lucky,
I think that equates to a little over three minutes in one
direction before turning. 3 miles / min rate of travel would make me a
bit dizzy with all the turns. I hope to get about a 60 or so miles in an
oval (long axis) where I live. At least that will allow me to do the
testing that will be necessary for my "9-A". Got a BIG water to my west
and Orlando and its garbage to the East. So I want to go North and South
and stay clear of the busy areas.

That is why you do enough flying close to home to iron out issues.

Well certainly during initial testing you'll stay near the airport.
But later in flight testing you're going to be working on things like
calibrating airspeed or mucking with the cooling system. Being able
to fly straight and level for 20 minutes could make these processes a
lot easier than if you can never get settled down cause you're
fighting to stay inside the box.
It's a fast airplane. When I get mine in the air, I'm hoping for a
box at least 20 minutes on a side.

Hey, I'm with you man! That was the final comment my DAR made. I'd be spending
a lot of time turning around over populated areas with his original proposal.
I live on the East Coast, sandwiched in between the freakin' DC ADIZ, Atlantic
ocean and PHILLY Class B. Lots of populated areas underneath and airways all
around. It's darn nice to get away from all that while burning those hours
off.

True, you should go on a cross-country hike the first several trips, but it
doesn't take 25 hours to know that everything is or isn't working as it
should. Just like any flight, one must exercise appropriate judgment.

I wish that I knew more about this before I flew my time off.
My DAR sucked.
Thanks Joe
