No problem here. The aviation diesels burn Jet-A which is one of the
main appeals of a diesel.

Subject: | Re: DeltaHawk Engine |
I followed Deltahawk for a long time, with the thought that I wanted to
put their 200HP inverted engine in my RV-10. After building for 4
years, during which Deltahawk continued to say there were "just about to
start delivering engines", I ordered a lycoming to avoid bringing my
project to a halt. I still watch their progress on their webpage.
I think that eventually they'll deliver engines, and that they'll be
good engines. They've made a lot of progress in the time I've been
watching them. However, this is going to be the big challenge for you:
Deltahawk is only interested in providing engines. If you buy an engine
from them, either someone else has to build the firewall forward for
you, or you've got to do it yourself. Don't underestimate the amount of
engineering that will go into the engine mount, oil system, cooling
system, etc.
The fact that they want a deposit for something they'll deliver in 2008
means that they're either assembling the engines extremely slow, or
they're going to use your money help to pay for the engines they
promised in 2007. As we've seen with Direct-2-Avionics, that puts your
deposit at serious risk if they run out of capital. My response would
be different if they were delivering engines like hotcakes; I paid
Barrett half the cost of my lycoming several months ago, but I'm
comfortable that he's going to send me an engine when he says he is.

Ralph: This is at least the second time around on the request for
funds.
In Dec -03 I signed a delivery position agreement with the stipulation
for
a $5K deposit
when requested. The request came some time later but they admitted to a
problem with vibration that threatened the use of a Hartzell prop. They
could not say
when the matter would be resolved. I declined to send the deposit and
have
had no communication with them since. I think they are honest people.
I do
not know
how they are financed, but they are still in there swinging when many
others
would have disappeared. Their original intent was to contract with
others
to do FWF
development. I don't know if that has been done. I sketched up a
layout
for the RV-8 that I thought might be workable but the work involve to
reduce
the layout
to working drawings and fabrication was beyond me, especially from the
time
standpoint. I have since taken delivery on a Lyc IO 390.
Honest or not, if they get into financial trouble, that trouble will be
visited upon you. Good luck.

Im finally getting around to installing my Light Speed Elec ignition and

Hi Ralph,
You have read some good advise so far an I agree with most of it. A company
that has been 1 year away from delivering engines for the last 5 years and
is still not delivering engines does not deserve $5000 of your hard earned
money. A good faith deposit is one thing, but you (as a builder) are not in
the business of providing investment capitol. DH should take smaller
deposits and use them to convince the bank that their engines will sell.
That being said, I sure hope they make it. Being a fan of alternate engine
choices I followed DH for a couple of years but wanted to get started
long before they were ready. I looked at their site last night for the
first time in years and am very impressed. The engineering and flight data
is new and particularly impressive. If I had to guess, $5000 put down now
would eventually see an engine at your door.... but maybe not in 2008.
Anyway, I wanted to address your concerns about FF fabrication, having done
it for my rotary RV-6. That stuff is not harder than the other systems you
develop in building an RV. I spent about 2-3 months of my build time
(couple half-day/week type thing) on the engine mount, and 2 more months on
cooler placement and I keep changing the cowl. The nice thing for you with
the DH is that the intake and exhaust manifolds are already done, same with
the fuel, oil, injector, and electrical systems around the engine. Those
were some of the hardest parts of my installation. Of course, I am still
tinkering and making changes while the lyc guys are buzzing my house... but
by 'next year' I should have it all worked out ;-)

Thanks Sam. I did not know that. Of course there is no Jet A at my

Where can I find step by step instructions on how to bleed the brakes.
When I built the plane 10 years ago I had help with this from an A&P friend
and most of what I remember was that it was a big mess. I found a leaky
wheel cylinder today which means a new set of O-rings and an afternoon of
fun. Having a little less fun than the first time would be a good thing.
Then someone said I'll have to open up the master cylinders while I'm doing
this, but I don't recall that. I think I remember bleeding straight up into
the reservoir.
Can anyone help me refresh my memory?
Thanks,
Andy

Subject: | RV7-List: Z-bracket height (again) - Help! |
Please forgive the cross-posting, but I sent this to the RV7 list first.
Afterward, I thought some of the other RV builders might have some good
ideas.
Guys, I'm stumped!
My when I set my leading edges on the spar, the leading edge skin butts
right up to the main wing skins (both top and bottom) perfectly. With the
tanks, it's a different story. I've been trying to figure out what's
causing the gap and the only thing I can come up with is that the
Z-brackets are a little too high.
If y'all have a couple minutes and would be willing to look at what I've
tried, I'd sure appreciate any feedback how to fix it. At this time, the
only solution I can think of is to put a joggle in the web of the
