The only topic that came up at my -7's signoff was the boundaries of the flight
test area. The DAR wanted to be sure I had a marked Sectional showing its limits
(and a copy was included in his signoff paperwork for phase I) since the
standard text description of it in the San Diego area was pretty complicated and
bordered by restricted airspace. If I can infer from the silence on the topic
of the flight test program, the general attitude was 'go out and kill yourself
if you like, but please do it in this area. Rest is up to you.'
Since DAR's and FSDO's seem to vary dramatically, this is just an anecdote...

Speaking of room, what is the trend on mounting oil filters?? Standard
horizontal, alternate 90 degree or remote? I am planning a pre-oiler
installation but have not mounted my enging yet.

I have a 200hp IO-360 in my -7A and use a 7 row cooler (the O-320 model has
5 rows) mounted to the left rear cylinder. Oil temps essentially never get
above 210 even with sustained full power climbs at best rate in summer
conditions. In cruise the oil temp is always right at 170, which is the
vernatherm opening temp.

My Aerosport engine came with the standard horizontal and there is plenty of
room. Far better than my RV-6 had.

James,
Thanks for the pictures. That is what mine looks like,
you see the back side of the sender on the right tank.
That is how I installed mine too.

Folks,
I'm getting ready to put my Lasar computer on the firewall (where I've seen them
before in pictures). for those of you that have this ignition system, are you
putting some backing plates to spread the load out - or just nutplating it
in?
Thanks,
Ralph

I just drilled #19 holes and used 4 #8 screws to attach it to the firewall.
I used steel locknuts on the hot side of the firewall.
