| Subject: | Brownsville California Photos - Inspiration! |
We flew up to Brownsville California on Saturday and since the RV-8 had just had
baby's first bath since the test flight (now at 85 hours TTSN, and almost 10,000
miles), there were some great opportunities for photo ops. Everyday I seem
to enjoy flying the RV-8 even more. It is truly a joy to fly in every respect.
On the way home, I had the IO-390 engine dialed in at 7000ft, 22.4" MP /
2200 RPM and 204 MPH True at 8.8 GPH. Earlier in the week I took it to 18,000ft
(on oxygen) and was seeing 170 MPH True at 5.5 GPH, 192 MPH @ 6.5 GPH, and
202 MPG @ 7 GPH. At the 5.5 GPH, that's about a 1300 mile range less reserves.
Coupled with the 3000+ FPM climb solo, its a truly amazing machine!
Keep at it! You won't be sorry! It is so worth all the hard work!

| Subject: | positioning right angle AN fittings |
Greetings... just wondering if anyone has any tips on getting right angle fittings
both
tight, *and* pointing in the right direction?
On my oil cooler, I need one fitting pointing straight ahead, and the other straight
aft.
Naturally, when these [non-swivelling] fittings are tightened up properly, they
don't
point where I want them to. As it turns out, each one would need to be backed
off about
30 degrees, and then it would then seep oil. Fuel Lube isn't sufficient, perhaps
Permatex
Form-a-Gasket, or something else? Any other ideas? Thanks!

I use Pro-Seal on all pipe threads that carry fuel,oil or hydraulic fluid. The
threads are not standard on npt as far as where they begin relative to the angle
of the fitting. If both fittings are the same, try swapping them and see where
they tighten up. In some cases a pipe tap can be used to cut the threads a
little deeper but be very careful as you can go to deep and then the fitting
will not tighten up at all.

You have to put the nuts in place before the bolts come through. I use a
pair of needle nose vise grips to hold the nut, then as I turned the bolt,
the vise grips would jame against the weldment. I torqued the bolt rather
than the nut on the bottom row.

I had to bend up and grind an open end wrench (buy a cheap one from Harbor

Guys,
I'm in the final assembly of an RV-9A. Any ideas how to get the nuts on the
lower outside NAS bolts?
Did anyone remove the lower brake line fitting in the area for better
access? I've got a few threads of the NAS bolt exposed beyond the landing
gear weldment to gain a little more clearance for the nut.
It also looks like I will have to jam a screw driver under the nut to keep
it from turning when I tightening it - there is no room for a wrench.
Anyone have an access hole on the side of the fuselage - I know this is
extreme.
Any ideas appreciated...

I find this product very effective on pipe thread and gaskets:

Well, solo weight + half tanks + IO-390's 210-215 hp + constant speed + cool day
= 3000+ fpm. Try pulling it back harder! :-)
