Dear Listers,
Pacbell is suppose to be working the Matronics connectivity issue this
morning. Intermittent connectivity is still a issue although things are
better than yesterday. They will probably be doing some intrusive testing
on the line later today which will disrupt connections during the test.
More information as it becomes available!
Thanks for your patience.

| Subject: | RV 4 prop extension and wood prop selection. |
--> RV4-List message posted by: PGLong@aol.com
I would like to get a prop on order as my "4" is close to completion.
Hopefully will be sometime this spring. Looking at one made by Ed Sterba. I'm
using
a Lycoming 0-320, 160 hp.
My prop extension, it is 6" diameter and used 3/8" prop bolts and the crush
plate is 6" diameter and 3/8" thick. I see Van's doesn't use the 6" diameter
prop extension any longer in favor of the 7" diameter. Would anyone recommend
changing my hardware at this point to accommodate the newer 7" prop extension
diameter and 7/16" bolts rather than the one that came with older kit? Not
sure why Van's changed but there must be some issue.
Your thoughts would be appreciated. I''m thinking of a 68" X 76" or 78"
prop per Ed's recommendations for this RV and engine combination. Not sure which
would be best. I don't think I want a cruise or climb prop, just something
in-between. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Pat

If your finish kit has,or will have ,the new "Pre-Preg" Cowl you will need to
use the 2 1/4" prop extension. Check with Van's before you buy any of the
parts.
I ordered the finish kit for my older RV-4 kit and I had already bought the
prop and extension,etc. It cost me a bundle to get new extension,bolts,crush
plate,etc. I was able to drill the prop for the required 7/16" prop bolts.
Apparently they furnish the new cowl for either fixed or C/S prop.
Again;call Van's before you invest,

Pre-preg cowls, 2 1/4 inch (non std) extensions, long gear, pre drilled wings???Sure didn't have that when I built my RV4.... What's the world coming to....Bob, if you still have the long extension, I'm sure you could sell it on www.vansairforce.net classifieds....
Merry Christmas Y'All!

Pat, I have 2 extensions, one like yours and the other you mentioned. I ended up
drilling both of them to 7/16 after the 3/8 bolts required tightening more than
I liked. I keep 2 props bolted on extensions with spinners so I can change
props in 30 minutes if I need to. The 7/16 bolts stay torqued longer, even with
weather changes. The larger diameter ext seems to have no great advantage or
difference over the other, your call. Good Luck. Merry Christmas!
