I have a low time O-320 150 hp that I installed last yr. Flying late Mon
eve low and fast, ( rv6a) I saw my oil temp creep up to 220. It tends to
run hotter than theold engine but I would like some inout on what temp
is considered on the edge of too hot? Part 2- I have been interested in
an engine monitor, but panel is full and only option would be to hang it
someplace. I like the size and what looks like very good unit for the
money, the little Grand Rapids 4 cyl EIS. Is anyone using this unit, or
are familiar with it? Charlie Heathco, (FYV)

Hi Mark,
Did you run the cable into the rudder by expanding the opening
for the bottom rod end? Thus letting the cable just "drop" into the
lower area or did you use a grommet in the rudder to get it into the
lower area?

Charlie,
The GRT EIS system is great. I'm on my second build and would
not be with out it. The key thing is the parameters you set up that will
cause the alarm light to illuminate. Thus you can see when things are
becoming a problem. Have you considered installing the low oil sensor
in the case?. Since our Lycoming use oil, and we don't know how fast,
I've installed one to alert me when the level reaches (in my case) 3.2
quarts. Aircraft Extras.com has the unit. Its cheep and will give me
peace of mind. At least I will have a short time to find a place to land
instead of a panic when everything goes south - rising temps and oil
pressure going down for lack of oil in the system. I'm just a little
paranoid. My Rotax 912 never used any oil so it was a non-issue.

September 21 is approaching. There should be plenty of time to
iron out issues and complete the test phase.

Trey Johnson?s email address is N67683@gmail.com. I?m not sure he
wants it made public, but he seemed OK giving it to me at the NWEAA
fly in Arlington, WA (I didn?t see you there Dave), so there it is. I
emailed him about two weeks ago as I?m considering putting floats on
my RV-8, but he never responded. His airplane is based at Renton, WA,
about 20 miles from where I am. His floats were made by Clamar Floats
(clamarfloats.com) in London, Ontario (in your backyard Terry) and run
about $30k USD. Not cheap, but they are beautiful floats. I talked
to Claire Sceli, the owner, and he said he makes all the fittings and
can make them for an 8. The floats were installed by Synergy Air in
Eugene, OR (synergyair.com). I also talked to Wally, the owner, and
would have him work up an installation for me if I decide to do this.
There are issues with limited elevator authority that they (Trey and
Wally) are still working on. I?ve decided that my next project is a
float plane, so if I don?t do this to the 8 I may sell it and buy a
RANS S7 and put it on floats. I lot cheaper with money left over.

Hi Bill,
I like that idea. It looks nice and the wiring looks to be well
protected. I think that I may do it that way. I will make a bit of a
"ramp" / flat surface for the wiring to ride on. That would give the
sleeved wiring a smooth surface if it touches the fiberglass. It will
just take a few more days (again) to do it.

Jim,
The "ramp" you mention is exactly what I did. I applied several layers
of fiberglass and filler to yield about 3/8" lip inside the slot on the
rudder butt. The tail wheel spring mount certainly limits one's options
in this area.
Bill

I like I80 route over the Rockies. The southern route is too hot this time of year.
Depart Ft. Collins CO go north to intersect I80 and just follow it to the
bay area. Max alt is 9500 ft. Do your flying before noon and it is not too bad
, but you alway get beat up over Wyoming.
Watch to MOA's in NV, but there is a VRF corridor near Fallon. In So Cal the Edwards
AF Base folks shaft you every time with their mega blocks of restricted
air space that you cannot go thru. But then again they are protecting our butts.
Gotta go to Gnoss or Oakland. San Rafael is private. Good stops are Ft Collins,
Ft. Bridger, Ogden or Salt Lake City, Wendover, Reno (Jet West) and Truckee (5900')
Oxygen is good (higher cooler faster) but you can live without it for one trip.
I like to get high and cool

Hi Jim-
The wiring exits the fuse through a grommet in the VS spar. I cut a slot
side to side in the rudder bottom that the wires pass through just wide enough
to
clear them when the rudder moves to each stop. There is maybe 1/2" of glass
between the top of the slot to the opening for the lower rod end cutout. The
wires just drop down into the rudder bottom and go aft with enough extra
length for a "service loop" to allow the strobe/taillight to be removed to expose
the wires for disconnection via an AMP connector on a short pigtail from it.
Feel free to contact me off-list if ya'd like a better description...

Does anyone know how much time is saved by purchasing a Quick-Build Fuselage
Kit in place of the standard fuselage kit for a 6A? Is it worth the
additional 5K? It was also suggested that that option could save as much as
a year of building. Since most of you have passed this way already, your
opinions will be valued greatly. So, what were your experiences?
Thanks.
