Subject: | Re: RV8-List: Oil Cooler Size On RV-10...? |
When I built my RV8, I attempted to use the SW cooler recommended by vans,
however it was inadequate. Upon advice of Monty Barrette, and Dave Anders
(still the fastest RV) I obtained a Niagara/Harrison 10 cooler and mounted
it on the rear baffle behind cyl 4 and tilted it down approximately 35
degrees (tilt as much as possible without contacting engine mount) (it will
be necessary to remove some metal from the flange on the cooler to prevent
contact with engine mount tube). This set up has proven to be excellent
providing good cooling in all temperatures up to 95 degrees outside air
including the Air Venture races when I run at 100 percent of power at low
altitude for over 2 hours (2700 rpm, 27-29 inch manifold pressure) average
indicated airspeeds are 220-235mph depending on OAT.

Subject: | Re: Adjusting the fiberglass wing tip trailing edge |
8 years ago when I was finishing my RV8, I was confronted with similar
problems. I solved them by obtaining a full scale drawing of the wing
airfoil and making a full size plywood template of the airfoil. I then tra
nsferred the shape to the wing which allowed me to obtain perfect alignment
of the flap, aeleron and the wing tip on both wings.
Later after I had the airplane flying and de bugged, I then addressed the
wing heavy problem. I split the outboard edge of the wing tip and
then reformed the outboard trailing edge up or down as needed to get the
airplane to fly level. When I was satisfied, I reglued the trailing edge
and outboard edge as necessary. Good luck.

I got some transition/refresher training in December in Georgia.
Pierre Smith has a RV6A and his CFI ticket (then anyway).
I don't know verbatim - but I think that it has to undergo 100hr inspections and
get a training permit from the FAA.
Pierre would know. http://www.rv-transitiontraining.com/

So is it OK to use my aircraft ("free" as Mike says below), but still pay a
n instructor? In the overall transaction there would be compensation chang
ing hands, but it would only be for the instructor's time, not the plane it
self.
The operating limitations specifically say "No person may operate this airc
raft for carrying persons or property for compensation or hire". I'd simpl
y like to pay an instructor to check out other people (specifically my son)
in my plane. I don't think that violates the intent of the operating limi
tations, but I don't want to violate the letter of them either!

Paul,
If it is your plane (owner) and your not charging for the use of the
plane just the CFI's instruction and time then there's no problem. I was
transitioned into our experimental and just paid our CFI for his time.
Dad and I also do this for our BFR's in our experimental. We also did
this for a friend that needed flight hours in our type experimental
plane for insurance purposes. We let them fly the plane and he paid his
time to the CFI. Now he was nice enough to buy lunch but we did not
collect any money for the use the plane.

According to the letter of the law even buying lunch violates the law.
Might be kind of hard to prove that lunch was for the use

Speaking of training in an RV, some one told me recently that there is a guy
in Phoenix who is doing transition training using an RV-9. Does any one
know if this is true? If not, is there any one anywhere in Arizona doing

I've got an RV-6a, I guess I should ask the insurance company if training in

RV-List,
In the past I have mentioned that a number of pilots
have said how bright & noticeable my Dual Wig Wag HID lights are from
the ground when I am on approach during the daylight hours. This is
exactly what I wanted from the first day I saw my neighbor's Pilatus
swoop into our home field with his flashing HID's a blazing. I think the
little boy inside of me said... "me want."
Well yesterday on a dusk flight departing the LA basin
ATC called traffic "South West 737 you have RV-10 Traffic 10 O'clock, 17
miles 8,500 feet. November 110EE traffic 2:00 O'clock descending out of
one-one-thousand feet a Boeing 737." Before I could respond the South
West 737 replied Traffic Insight. Moments later the SW pilot told me
through the controller "that is some light system he has on his RV-10,
it's really easy to pick up" COOL! Getting "at a boy's" from commercial
pilots.
I consider the Wig-Wag HID's to be an important safety feature on my
-10. Seeing is avoiding.
The set up is nothing out of the ordinary with the
exception of dual 35W HID lights placed in the leading edge. If
interested I have a page that shows the install.
http://www.painttheweb.com/rv-10/Lights_LEDHID.htm . One more thing of
note. When on that page you will also see some pretty expensive (but
nice) LED Position Lights. My next build is an RV-8A and I have found a
set of Red & Green LED bulbs for around $8.00 each including wired
sockets (eBay). These appear to be an excellent and cost effective
solution vs. the printed circuit board LED's I used on my -10. Plus some
significant time savings to install as well. I will report results once
flying.
Not exactly the LED's I purchased but this gives you an idea of the
concept: eBay Item# 380151029392
