Most epoxies can be thinned with isoproponol, denatured alcohol or isopropol alcohol
without significantly changing their mechanical properties.

Same thing happened for me when I tried to thin Tap brand epoxy with acetone.
Took me days to scrape the mess out. I wound up doing it the same way Doug describes
below.

Mat,
Do not thin West Systems Epoxy with acetone! I found it turns the epoxy into a
chewing gum like mass that never sets up.
Use it as mixed with slow hardener and brush it on thin. Thinning was unnecessary
but it can be warmed slightly to help it to flow. It is more akin to squeegee-ing
with the side of the brush. This works very well in my opinion.
I'm sure I added less than 1:1 in acetone - or perhaps the West systems product
is different in this country, I don't understand why this happened with mine.
Fortunately I experimented before using it on the cowling. Doug

Greetings fellow builders,
In the manual, Van's describes a procedure of mixing some resin 1:1 with acetone
to form a thin coating for the OUTSIDE of the cowling to make a filler for the
pin holes and other surface imperfections. Seems straightforward enough.
But what about the INSIDE of the cowling? That open weave seems like its going
to soak up any oil and whatnot that runs out of these leaky 'ol Lycomings.
Thoughts?

I have had to calibrate mine several times due to replaced controllers.
With the electric fuel pump off I just disconnected the fuel line to the
carburetor and put the end into a 5 gallon fuel can. Then turned on the
fuel pump to fill the can and turned it off to change cans. Just be
sure to ground the fuel can to the aircraft before turning on the fuel
pump. On my plane no fuel leaked out as long as the electric fuel pump
was off.
This may or may not be a safe method to use. As the manufacturer of
your airplane you must determine the safe maintenance practices that are
appropriate on your airplane. I have done that on mine and this is the
procedure I use.

Just a suggestion on an alternative solvent, when I tried this on RTV,
methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) was much better than acetone.
Acetone had the same effect of turning the RTV to gum, whereas the MEK
resulted in a nicely runny mixture. It evaporates and produces the
desired end result in RTV. It might be worthwhile trying this with
epoxy.
Side note for folks outside the US. MEK is available in Canada only, it
seems, in lacquer thinner. Apparently it can be used to make crystal
meth or some such, so it's not readily available.

Recommend a thorough fuel tank and fuel line flush as part of this process.
Disconnect the fuel hose at the firewall and connect a temporary hose, with
a clear in line fuel filter, such that you are pumping fuel from the tank
through all your fuel lines and then to a series of 5 gallon fuel cans.
Make sure you first remove whatever you are using for a fuel filter. You
want all the junk collected in the cheap in line filter you will put in the
temporary hose. You will be amazed at the stuff coming out of your brand
new fuel tanks and fuel lines.
For the calibration, level the plane and add one gallon at a time to one
tank. Pump this out to the 5 gal cans via the temporary line. You now have
the data you need to:
1. Measure fuel tank volume
2. Measure useable fuel
3. Calibrate your fuel level indication (take data at each gallon add)
4. Measure fuel flow rate (to make sure you will be pumping enough fuel to
the engine)
Now repeat the process using the fuel in the 5 gallon cans to fill the other
tank. Repeat the flushing process on both tanks until you no longer collect
trash in the clear in line fuel filter. Once done, remember to reinstall
your permanent fuel filter.

In addition to this, it would be a good idea to do the fuel-flow test that
is mandated by the Canadian government for experimentals in canada. The
upshot is that you put the aircraft in a attitude somewhat greater than the
maximum climb attitude, about 20 degrees nose-high for RV's, then measure
the fuel flow at the engine for each tank. This fuel-flow should be 150% of
maximum required of engine for a gravity-feed system, and 125% of maximum
for a fuel-pump system.
Jack Dueck wrote an article "Feul-flow and Unusable Fuel Tests for your
Homebuilt", but I can't find a link on the internet to it. I got a copy of
it in the excellent EAA seminars.
The article demonstrates the test for an RV-9A. The carburetor inlet fitting
is attached to the fuel line, and then a hose attached to the fitting. Then
a 5 gallon fuel container is weighed to get the empty weight, and the hose
from the fitting is placed in it. Add 2 gallons to a tank. Run the fuel-pump
with the plane in 20 degree climb attitude until the tank is empty (timing
this also), then weigh the container which gives you amount of fuel, plus a
rate which can be calculated from the time required to pump the weight of
fuel. It also gives you the unusable fuel in each tank, ie the amount of the
2 gallons dumped in that didn't make it to the container during the test.

At the same time, you might also consider doing a fuel stick. That way you
could use it to check fuel levels during the preflight.

Dean,
I spoke with Tom at Van's before selecting the 85" pitch prop. He said I
would be unhappy with cruise speeds with any pitch lower than 85. He was
right. At 8000 ft and full throttle I am right at redline at 2700 rpm an
d close to 175 kt TAS. I don't want to have any throttle left when I hit
redline. 85" pitch works perfectly for RVs with the 0-360. I fly off a
5000 ft altitude strip and I am easily in the air in a few hundred feet.
Grossed out on a high density altitude day she will still climb much bet
ter than what would be prudent for proper cylinder cooling. Normal climb
out for me is at 2450-2500 rpm, 135-140 kts TAS and about 750 fpm, which
keeps the engine cool, and that is throttled back significantly. Perform
ance is not a problem. The 2100 rpm static is about what I get. When the
plane gets moving the rpms rise nicely.

Subject: RV-List: Sensenich Prop
=Sensenich Metal Prop users:
=I have a 72FM85 (72 length x 85 pitch) metal prop for parallel valve 0-
360.
I installed the prop a while back to solve what turned out to be a problem
with the FI system. When the prop didn't fix the problem I did more testi
ng
and static running with it to finally figure it out. I discovered that at
full throttle (ground run) the tach showed only 2100 RPM. I didn't get a
chance to fly with that prop because it was recalled before the FI system
was fixed and I had to take it off the airplane. I've been flying with my
Sterba wood prop which gives 2300 RPM static and 2550 RPM full power at 10
00
MSL (level flight).
=I want to reinstall the Sensenich prop but am thinking that 2100 max RP
M at
takeoff is a little low. Van's catalog listed this prop as the ONLY one th
ey
recommended for the 0-360 engine. The Sensenich website lists two other
(0-360) props (83 and 81 pitch) and if my Sterba is any indication, I
probably should have at least went with the 83 pitch instead of the 85.
=I know there are a lot of these props out in the RV community...those
of you
that have them on 180HP O-360s:
=Are you getting this low of RPM on takeoff (2100 static)?
=What kind of takeoff distances are you seeing (light and fully loaded)?
=Does the RPM pick up quickly as the plane starts moving on the runway?
=By the time your at the end of the takeoff roll does the RPM exceed 210
0?
=Will there be any harm done to the engine running full throttle at 600R
PM
below rated power RPM (detonation, overheating, etc, low power is a given)
?
=How many of you with the 85 inch pitch props have gotten them re-pitche
d?
=Would you have gone with 83 or 81 inch pitch if you'd known ahead of ti
me?
=Is anyone using the 83 or 81 pitch version and what is your experience
with
those?
=Thanks.
