Listers,
Just a note to caution all with RV-XAs that are subject to Service
Bulletin 07-11-09 to help you avoid making the mistake I made.
Since I have been doing my Condition Inspection in February, one of the
first things I did was remove the nose gear leg and send it away for
modification. I then ordered a new nose fork from Van's via the Web
Store. My rationale was that the leg mod could be going on while I
completed the inspection and would be returned in a couple of weeks, or
so, and the fork would be delivered in about a week, the usual time for
UPS ground from the West Coast.
Well, after a few days, I checked with Van's web site to see if my fork
order had been shipped. I did not find my web order on the list. To get
first hand information, I called Van's to find out if there was reason
for delay.
The answer was "it may be a "COUPLE OF MONTHS" ; " the pile of orders is
about THREE inches thick".
So, I have an RV-6A and its old fork and am awaiting return of my
modified gear leg and may have to wait a couple of months to get my new
fork.
So, the obvious advice is: check with Van's to find out the current
backlog of orders for the new fork BEFORE you send away your gear leg.
Good luck!!!

Does anyone have the dimensions for the mounting holes for the EA OIL COOLER
II from Vans?
I'm trying to determine if the mounting holes are the same as for the SW
8406R.
I didn't get any response to the comparison query earlier....this might be
easier....I already have the 8406R
Thanks,
Ralph

I saw one person who cut (drilled) into the bottom of the fork
to accommodate the shortened gear leg.
Determine if that is an acceptable solution.

Thank you Richard.
I just sat down at the computer to check on my order for the nose gear
fork (placed with Van's about two weeks ago) and received your message.
Guess I better forget about doing it with my Condition Inspection next
month.

Can anyone recommend a facility in Northern Cal or the western states
area for Slick Magneto inspection? I'm due for the 500 hr check, and I
have reason to believe there may be a minor problem and possible
repair in order.

Is the Sam James plenum working out as promised? Anyone out there flying
with one that has an opinion? Wondering if it is worth retrofitting into a

I haven't had a chance to contact Robby yet and I haven't had any other
responses about a wedge mount.
>From the SamJamesd instructions show - it looks like the wedge in their
photo is in a RV-4 so it may not work with my 6A - even with their
plenum.
I'll let you know what happens as I need to do something!

I have the Sam James plenum and cowls on my RV7A..........since new.
While I can't give any before and after performance figures I don't
think I'm getting any better performance than those with "stock"
equipment. Overheating has never been a problem under any conditions,
even on hot Florida summer days. My CHT's however are quite uneven with
the #4 cylinder running up to 100 degrees cooler than cylinders 1,2 &3.
As to speed, I was led to believe I'd pick up 10 to 15 MPH over stock,
but I don't think that's happening. At 8,000 ft, 2,700 RPM I see about
195-200 MPH ground speed on a no-wind day. I have an Aerosport IO360
and a Catto fixed pitch prop.

| Subject: | EA OIL COOLER II dimensions |
Ralph,
The oil cooler has a six hole rectangular pattern.
Two rows of three holes with 1-1/2" spacing.
And the rows are 3-7/8" apart.
Hope this helps.
This is for the Niagara 20002A Oil cooler which I believe is what Vans sells
as the Oil Cooler II.
Mark
