Experimental engine caused the 40. Many others probably should get it
that
don=92t (read =93Tim, you lucky dog=94), but we have the mattituck-built
lycoming
experimental.

Jesse,
Congrats, not too many (if any other) repeat RV-10 offenders. Just
out
of curiosity, what forced the 40 hours vs 25 hour flyoff?
I hope to be in your shoes soon.
Have fun,
Marcus

It flies. Once around the pattern about 5 minutes before dark. Will
try to
post more details when we have them. We should have both N256H and
N415EC
at Oshkosh, Lord willing. See ya=92ll there.
Do not archive.

| Subject: | Mounting the engine |
I'm feeling a little pumped tonight in that we got the engine mounted
today, picture attached. Other than wanting to toot our horn I wanted to
pass along what experience we had in mounting the engine.
I have a friend from Iowa who came down this weekend to help me install
the engine. He is an A&P and runs a small airport just outside of Des
Moines. So when I say we, I actually should probably be saying he, since
he did the bulk of the thinking on this, since he's done this many
times.
Anyway we began by attaching the upper two mounts, because he said that
this method normal works the best. But in doing this we ran into a
problem where we couldn't seem to get the bottom two mounts aligned to
get the bolts in. I had remembered reading something about this on Tim
Olson's web site and so I pulled out the instructions he had on his web
site from my file and Walla, he had experienced the same problem.
The solution that he found that worked for him was to attach the lower
two mounts first and the work on the upper mounts. So we tried this
method and it work on the first try. Thanks Tim, I might still be out
there had I not read that tip. It only took us about 1 1/2 to 2 hours to
have the engine mounted even with the false start. So, based on our
experience, and Tim's, I would suggest using this method when installing
your engine.

My -7A has the halogen bulbs; built in 2003 when there was no HID option.

time but you need the template that comes with the kit.
The hardest part on the -7A was pulling the lens snugly against the curve of the
leading edge while drilling the mounting holes. Too loose and there is a gap
right at the leading edge. Too tight and your lenses crack in the first hundred
flight hours or so. Been there, done that for both conditions!

Dan,
I'm not sure if yours is the old or the new style lens and
retainer, but the lens in the new ones isn't drilled
at all, but is kind of floating trapped. It's not the
easiest to pull the lens in place, but once it's there, it's
probably not going to crack easily, and should be
pretty good. The only gap is there because of a small
amount of foam seal, but the gap is pretty small. For
people doing HIDS, the chance that you'll be pulling
the lens to replace a lamp is much much smaller anyway.
So, if you have the old style, you may have had more
troubles. I heard those cracked lenses all the time.
But, that's the old way.
