Nothing like the roar of an IO-540 to get you blood pumping. It must be nice to be that close. Any idea why the Concorde had so much trouble? It should have enough oomph to turn it over. -------- Dave Moore RV-6 flying RV-10 QB - cabin top/fiberglass hell Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=231332#231332 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:02:05 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: G3 Ignition From: "n277dl" Group... anyone using the G3 Ignition system? http://www.g3ignition.com/ Vans recommends a shower of sparks type ignition enhancement so this looks interesting to me.

It's a complex sub ject whose success in the RV community may be hampered by that complexity a nd other issues. I have had good and bad experiences with self insurance p ools in business and its a very broad term that even the experienced can't opine on without significant details. Do you have some specific plan docum ent you can share that you developed a couple years ago? ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 03:27:53 PM PST US From: Patrick Pulis Subject: Re: RV10-List: First Engine start A great achievement Ron, well done.=0A=0APat=0AVH-XPP - South oz=0A=0ADo No t Archive=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A________________________________=0AFrom: "McGANN, R on" =0ATo: rv10-list@matronics.com=0ASent: Satur day, 21 February, 2009 5:06:26 PM=0ASubject: RV10-List: First Engine start =0A=0A=0AFirst engine start today - what a buzz.- Ranks better than first panel checks and having the smoke stay in the wire.=0A=0ANot quite without incident.- I had previously removed the bottom plugs and spun the prop t o preoil the engine.- The new Concorde battery had no problem turning an engine with no compression.- Left the battery on charge overnight knowing a few starts may be required.- The battery had barely enough cranking ca pacity to kick the engine.- May need to go to a couple of Odysseys in par allel.- With battery sorted, the engine still would not fire.- Found I needed to remove the fuel injector lines to the cylinders and run the boost pump to flush the lines.- Once the lines were clean and free of air, she fired with little trouble.=0A=0ADid not take it over 1500 rpm for the firs t run (only 2-3 mins), but even 1t 1500 she was screamin' to get over the c hocks.- Just the W&B and paperwork to do.-=0A=0AOn a high - had to shar e.=0A=0Acheers=0ARon=0A-187=0A=0A"Warning: The information contained in th is email and any attached files is confidential to BAE Systems Australia.
