I am just beginning my project and am still learning the ins and outs of the process. Do you have a certified engine and prop? Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=331069#331069 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 04:36:32 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Another first From: "Eric_Kallio" As for what drove the 30 hour fly-off I have no idea. I didn't press the issue. I have an Aerosport Power IO-540 with a new Hartzell prop. The only comment I got was even though the engine is a clone of a certified engine it was made to higher tolerances than the Lycoming factory and the IO-540 and the prop are a certified combination. Can't offer more than that. Temps: I have 5.0 on the engine right now and have done nothing other than fly around on the engine break in. First flight at 3000 PA and 54 degrees OAT my CHTs ranged from 390 to 420. Today by the end of the flight at the same altitude and 10 degrees warmer outside my CHTs were down to 378 to 414. Of course cylinders 5 and 6 are the hottest cylinders. My oil temps were steady at 192 degrees and 78 PSI. I have the oil cooler attached to the aft engine baffle as opposed to the firewall and scat tubing. The Sam James cowl is certainly not airtight as I have it installed. Now that it seems my temps are coming down after break-in I figure I have about 3 or 4 more hours before beginning to really seal up the plenum to control cooling. I am waiting for my superstar ground and flight support guy to put together and post the pics and video. When I have the link I will post it. I was so fortunate that when he filmed the first landing it was pretty. Not the same story today. Fortunately no one was watching today.
