FYI,
I notice from your pictures that you have the original style carb air inlet built
into your lower cowl. It is the same inlet that our old RV4 had, the one that
does not have an air cleaner. We have the lower cowl [new style] that will
accept the air cleaner that Van's appears to favor, I saw this same inlet design
on a new RV9.
I have been thinking about installing a flat piece of stainless steel sheet with
sound insulation between it and the ramp floor where the exhaust exits the engine
compartment, much the same as the Piper Twin Comanche.
I feel that aluminum does not like the corrosive exhaust gases and heat [it gets
brittle] that is in that area.
Also, it should quiet the noise from the exhaust, the Swearingen had such a piece
installed in the exhaust exit ramp and I felt that it lowered the exhaust noise
to more of a lower octave rumble.
The Swearingen also had the individual exhaust pipes so I am leaning in that direction,
Ed Swearingen knows engine compartments better than anyone.
Do you get enough heat from the single cabin heat muff?
We have 2 cabin heat muffs on the T-18 and we purchased 2 cabin heat boxes and
expect to install 2 heat muffs on the RV3. The reason for the 2 heat muffs is
that we purchased 2 canopy frames and will be building 2 separate canopies, one
as a normal swingover bubble and the other as an open cockpit. Using the same
piano hinge swingover attachment as the bubble.
This might be fun, we don't know for sure but we feel that we won't want to cruise
around at top speed with an open cockpit but during the summer or in warm
climates we should be able to get the "wind in the face" feel that I enjoyed with
the Baby Great Lakes biplane and that others enjoy with similar biplanes.
I notice that the Odyssey battery comes in several versions, is the one you have
been using working well or should we purchase the higher Amp one that they also
offer?
Regards,
Fred

This message is an FYI for anyone who is starting a new aircraft.
Please understand that this message is for information only and may or may not
be correct.
BUT---------------
1] When we installed the 5 fuselage floor ribs into our jig and attached them
to the bulkhead frame [center section] we found that the pre bent front flanges
on the 5 ribs were bent at an incorrect angle.
We could not use them as they were supplied to us and had to rebend the front flanges
so we could get the correct wing incidence angle as called out in the plans
by Van.
2] The RV3 weldment for the tail spring was actually and RV4 weldment and it
had to be trimmed in order for it to fit into the tail cone.
3] the large bottom tail cone skin was not furnished long enough to extend entirely
over the frame bulkheads on the forward and aft edges,
Therefore ------------
DO NOT trim the smaller .040 bottom rear skin at the front edge to match it to
the fuselage bulkhead like the plans show!
Wait with trimming that skin until you fit both skins where they overlap, you may
need to have a row of rivets connecting the two skins.
NOTE!
The skins are supplied to the lengths called for in the plans, I believe the plans
dimension is in error.
