Congratulations Tom! Having spend 12.5 years, I too know what "waiting" is
all about. My project, RV-6A N826ME, flew for the first time on May 5th
and just completed Phase 1 testing. It's been so hot and humid here in TN
that I only flew in the mornings and then, usually no longer than 90 min.
each time. The test area starts to seem pretty small towards the end. Good
luck with your project.

Subject: RV-List: N811WT flies!
From: thomas sargent <sarg314@gmail.com>
Test pilot Joe Shetterly took N811WT off this morning about 7am and stayed
close to Ryan Field for about an hour. I was expecting the usual cooling
problems, but Joe says the cylinder head temps in my Aerosport Power rebuilt
IO-360-B2B stayed below 400 F and the oil temp was at 210, and this is in
Tucson in the summer time. Stall clean was 45 knots - right on Van's
numbers. I made a fiberglass cooling plenum for the thing, maybe that has
had some benefit. At this point I really don't know. It hasn't seemed to
cause a problem at least.
Only squawk was that when he throttled back to 1700 rpm after half an hour
of high cruise operation, the engine loped for a while. He described it as
the typical fuel injected engine loping. Boost pump made no difference.
After a few minutes it settled down and was running smooth when he was in
the pattern. Perhaps that will settle down as the engine breaks-in? I'll
talk to Bart at Aerosport about it.
I haven't flown it yet. I get my transition training on tuesday and
wednesday in an RV-7A at Gillespie Field in San Diego, so I will probably
fly next Friday.
I couldn't have done it without The List!

| Subject: | How to get to several rivets? |
I have just (almost) completed riveting the forward top skin on my RV9A
Slider. However, I am at a loss as to how to rivet these three
locations on each side. The back side of the rivets are buried under
the railing and none of the bucking bars I have will reach any of them.
What has everyone done to set these rivets?
