    Subject: Engine-landing gear mount loose
    Warning, I was working on a project to move stuff away from my cooling outlet and observed that the four lower bolts holding my engine/landing gear mount on were in excess of 1/2 a turn loose, as in easily turnable by finger. These are cotter pinned. TTIS is 1240 on an RV-6, bolts last checked three years ago and I delayed this because I got tired of ruining good cotter pins when nothing was ever loose. So it's back to ruining cotter pins,,, I pulled a few of the bolts out and explored, but I didn't find any reason for why things got loose in the last 200 hours but didn't in the first 1000??? Also, there was a rant some time ago about AD's and how they do or don't apply to experimentals. The recent ECI Titan cylinder AD 2008-19-05 pretty much applies to any installation where that range of serial number cylinders with a specific part number are in service. While they do use the verbiage "Lycoming engines with these cylinders installed" the focus is clearly the cylinders irrespective of what you choose to call your Lycoming parallel valve engine. They also list cases of engines and aircraft where these might be found but they do not limit the AD to these groups. The focus is on those parts as installed in an airplane. If you have Titan cylinders but not those in that range or part numbers you might want to note this in the engine logs.

    Subject: Loose bolts
    I have found all sorts of loose bolts on the engine. First it was the exhaust bolts, I had to tighten them 3 times before they would "hold". Then the valve covers started leaking, nothing new, this is "normal". Well the screws were so loose I could remove some with my fingers, now they have been tightened and the leaks have stopped and have not come loose again since. The last couple bolts I found loose were to the case halves! From what I have read about others and their loose hardware experiences, the next upcoming annual just months away, ALL fasteners will be checked over the entire aircraft. Scott

    One of the engineers I know from Lycoming has told me in the past that Lycoming case half bolts should be checked periodically for torque (100in/lbs) and that its not uncommon to find loose bolts. In other words check them at every condition inspection. Regards, Bob Japundza RV-6 flying F1 under const.

    Its a tool to tell you IF you need it, and IF its working, how well its working, and if you need to administer more or less oxygen. This is a safety of flight device for flight in the over 10k ranges. I use mine all the time. Pulse/x is a very good measure of things.

    Also tells you if merely deeper breathing is working to increase your oxygenation. It often helps enough, more than you'd think.

    Subject: Re: Fly above 8000 ft ?
    Bert, oxygen is not simply "on" or "off;" it comes in quantities (liters per minute), and it's fairly expensive. If you are running low on oxygen during a flight where it is called for, it is a precious commodity. Therefore, it is helpful to have a device that tells the pilot how much oxygen is required, so that only this much is used and no more. There is no way to tell by subjective feelings whether the amount of oxygen flow selected is enough, too much, or too little. Only an objective measurement can allow for precise dosing. The only safe alternative to pulse oximetry in flight is to run oxygen flows at much higher rates that are truly needed, just to cover all possibilities. This is wasteful, and can exhaust your oxygen cylinder just when you need it most. Helpful?

    Hi Bert, I think that the point is that, even if you are using oxygen, a device that measures the oxygen saturation in your blood will tell you that you are receiving ENOUGH oxygen and that your oxygen equipment is working correctly - OR, you are not getting ENOUGH. Possibly increase the flow or as somone said: "take deeper breaths" to assimilate more oxygen. It would be too bad if you go merrily along with the oxygen flowing and not know that you are not getting enough for sufficient oxygen saturation. Measuring the oxygen saturation could give you the confidence that you are OK.

    Bert, The real value of a Pulse Oximeter is that it allows you to reduce the amount of oxygen flowing to the minimum needed for complete oxygenation of your blood. That way your tanks will last longer. FYI, if you are over 40, best start using oxygen above 8,000 feet.

    I have lived at about 7,500-ft for over 20-years now so I am probably a bit more adapted to low levels of Ox then 'flat-landers' but I thought to add one more data point to your discussion regarding oxygen use. Tomorrow I will leave home airport, and climb steadily until 13,500 to cross the continental divide in Colorado....after crossing at Monarch Pass I will descend to 12,500 to cruise altitude for another 45-minutes to my destination. Enroute at various altitudes I will use my rather expensive blood oxygen meter to see what levels of ox I have in my system. At home I usually see 86-89 % saturation. I do have oxygen but will not be using it tomorrow...I've made this trips many times so there's nothing new going on here. I'll post results just to add to the discussion. John

    Subject: Re: Blood Oxygen Levels
    John, Us flat landers in the medical community would be ordering you home oxygen and likely portable oxygen if your pulse oximetry showed that low. Normal for most adults is 92% or better. If you are indeed that low on oxygen (adapted or not) think of what your brain is deprived of? Oxygen!! Low oxygen equates to decreased level of consciousness, slowed brain function, and even possible damage to the brain cells. BTW, this low of pulse ox is usually seen in those with emphysema or COPD. Also, don't let your AME know this, he'll ground you in a heartbeat. Just my half of a nickels worth of input.

    Subject: Blood Oxygen Levels
    John: Someone like me that lives near sea level=2C I would be falling asleep at t hat low of O2 level. I have O2 and one of the old expensive blood oxygen m eters. I need O2 when flying for more than 2 hours above 9=2C500. Gary A. Sobek "My Sanity" RV-6 N157GS O-320 Hartzell=2C 2=2C159 + Flying Hours So. CA=2C USA From: n1cxo320@salidaco.com Subject: RV-List: Blood Oxygen Levels I have lived at about 7=2C500-ft for over 20-years now so I am probably a bit more adapted to low levels of Ox then 'flat-land ers' but I thought to add one more data point to your discussion regarding oxyge n use. Tomorrow I will leave home airport=2C and climb steadily until 13=2C500 to cross the continental divide in Colorado....afte r crossing at Monarch Pass I will descend to 12=2C500 to cruise altitude for another 45-minutes to my destination. Enroute at various altitudes I will use my rather expensive blood oxygen meter to see what levels of ox I have in my system. At home I usually see 86-89 % saturation. I do have oxygen but will not be using it tomorrow...I've made this trips many times so there's nothing new going on here. I'll post results just to add to the discussion.

    Subject: Re: Loose bolts
    This is a phenomenon I have experienced on my RV-6A and also by other RV builders I know. It was actually brought to my attention by another builder. (Thanks, Charlie Bravo!) After some hours in operation, engine vibration & flight loads will tend to compress the stack of materials at the engine mount bolt locations on the firewall, resulting in a natural loosening of the nuts. Each annual condition inspection, this is an item I religiously check and address as necessary.
