Ron, I saw an old post about your cowl louvers. Are they what made the
big differance? My CHT's are getting up to 455 by about 2500 ft on climb
out and then I level off til they come down to about 430 then I climb
some more. At cruise I am seeing 410-420. I would really like to see
them more like 350 at cruise. This is at about 87 degree F OAT on the
ground. Any other suggestions? Were did you get you louvers?

My swiveling nose wheel has gotten jerky. Will just squirting a few
shots of grease in the zert fitting take care of this or do I need to
take it all apart clean, grease and reassemble? 65 hrs. on it.

I did three things.
1) Remove the extra tubing that went with a dual cabin heat system (tubes
all over in the back of the engine area).
2) Opened up the bottom of the cowl around the exhaust.
3) Added louvers made by a friend of a friend.
I don't know where my flight test numbers are but my recollection is that I
got about equal
improvement from all three. This was after ensuring that the baffling and
associated sealing
was in good order.

Bobby - If I understand properly, you have a 180 hp engine. There are many, many
RV-7/7As flying with this engine without CHT problems. While adding cowl louvers
might bring your CHTs down, I fear that you would simply be curing the
symptom, without really fixing the basic problem. This could lead to greater
grief down the road, if the basic problem is significant. For example, some people
have high CHTs due to a too lean mixture, caused by the wrong carb. If
this were the problem, it would be far better to find it and fix it now.

| Subject: | RV-6a FS PDX OR ...1/2 share |
Folks,
I am selling my 50% interest in a pristine RV-6a because I have completed
mine and find I can only fly one RV at a time... This is in the Portland, OR
area, so if any of you are moving here and would like a great partnership,
please email for details and pix. In a nutshell it's a 2002 with Lyco 360/CS
500ttsnew AF eng prop. Pro paint, recent glass panel. No pesky vac sytem.
Currently hangared at KUAO, aka "home" for RV's, 1/4 mile from Van's front
door.

I've been using KitLog Pro. I didn't want to spend a bunch of time to
become saavy at hosting with a custom website (nor spend the money), so
this worked out great. After 9 months of use, no problems. Only drawback
is can only post 3 pics per entry - rarely a problem, but sometimes I
want to show something in detail, such as recent xenon HID landing light
conversion from the Duckworks halogen kit. A big plus, and one you want
to check on with any competitors, is that your own computer stores
everything created, and it is not simply hosted externally on a
company's server. If the company goes tango uniform, you don't want to
lose any data.

Nice site Carl, thanks for the tip!
I will probably be going with KitLog Pro. The upgrade to 2.1 is free also.
Jim!

After nearly eight years and 2700 hours of building, Van's kit #60316
slipped the surly bonds at approximately 10:45 AM, May 28th, at San
Geronimo Airport (8T8) near San Antonio. A Memorial Day to
remember. N11CB, a slow built RV-6A Quickbuild, was powered by an
IO-320 Lycoming with AFP fuel injection and Jeff Rose Electroair
Ignition turning a Whirlwind 3 blade prop. Flown by owner/builder
Charlie Brame, the bird leapt into the air after a 300 foot take off
roll and flew straight and level with hands off and feet flat on the
floor. IFR equipped, it weighed 1100# in prime. Many thanks go to
members of this list, all the San Antonio area RV-builders, EAA
Chapter 35, and, especially, to my very good friend, Paul McReynolds,
EAA Tech Advisor and RV-Guru, RV builder Extraordinaire, 1987 Oshkosh
Grand Champion and Orville Wright Award Winner.
