| 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!

How tight up against the cowl opening do most folks have the small baffling
on the filtered air box intake?

As tight as is possible to get the bottom cowling on and off. really all
you need is the seal to overlap the inlet enough that there is no air
gap the air to escape through.

Anyone use a flush fuel tank drain valve instead of the standard one? (i.e
. a SAF-AIR SA18 instead of the standard CAV-110?)
Is that doable? It's also a 1/8 NPT thread, so it should work fine.

Get it as tight as you can, but it is a kind of toss-up between ease of getting
the lower cowl off and a good tight fit. I concede that I cut it back a bit to
get the cowl on and off. I still have to use a little tool to get the baffle
material outside the inlet after the cowl is on.
