Capen" Subject: RV-List: Slider locking mechanism Folks, I am getting ready to install the locking mechanism on my 6A slider. The lock uses the same key as the ignition and the locking mechanisms came with the ignition switch set. I am trying to figure out where to install it as the side skirt bows out in the middle and the slider rail that the lock bar goes in to is straight front to back. Essentially, there are two installation points (foreward and aft) on each side. My slider frame is the later version with the square side rails and the slotted/holed-out skirt supports. It looks like the lock mechanism will barely fit through the holes. I also have a Meske Tip-up mod installed and am looking to modify a taxi-latch...the taxi latch may take up some of the forward space that the lock would need - causing me to consider installing the lock at the aft end of the side skirt. Anyone have personal preferences and reasons for them? Anyone have pictures of your installations...and willing to share.

If so do you know what your putting through on take off? I see about 15 gph on take off climb. I did slightly enlarge my jet but did not want to go too far." Rule of thumb applies here: 1 gal for every 10HP @ sea level @ full RPM @ std temp. If you have a 150HP engine, 15GPH is about right. Look for 18 on a 360 engine. Another check is to see if you can get 250 ROP at full rated power. If not, make the appropriate changes. I suspect more than a few cooling issues are actually fuel related. Carry on! Mark ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 06:45:57 AM PST US Subject: RV-List: Re: Hot CHT and fuel flow From: Kelly McMullen That rule of thumb is just a bit rich. My 200hp fuel injected IO-360 Lycoming flows about 17-18gph on takeoff with EGT and CHT where they should be....1200-1250 and 340, with a fuel flow unit on EI UBG-16. 16-17 gph should be plenty for 180hp engine.
