First flight of Kit #22411 RV6 at Portland,Tn (1M5) on the 22nd at 0732..This
was a 13 year project,the old
slow kit ..Thanks to the RV list,Gary V, and Sam B's Web site..I used the EAA
first flight guide lines,which
is a must do if you can...Flight time was only 20 min,but SWEET...Mistakes that
I made!!!
1Check everything 3 times in the Eng,oil line,gas lines,etc...
2Hart C/S got ahead of me when it un/loaded on take off(2780) WHEW
After take off,stayed in the pattern and trim out and say to myself (WOW)...did
I do this..(JAMES 1:17)
Then things started to change after about 18 min,the VM1000 oil pressure gauge
which was 80#
was showing a TREND down,76,1 min later 71,65,60,53, radio to ground crew coming
down ,landed
3 point ,and when it slowed down in the roll out I see smoke but I still have oil
pressure 38#
shut it down in front of the hanger and this plane looks like a Red chili pepper
dipped it olive oil!!
Lift top Cowl ,open top of plenum cover and the flange to the prop gov line loose....This
has never
leaked at any point doing run ups etc(check every line 3 times with a wrench)I
had put 7 qts in just
in case!!It dumped 3 Qts pretty sudden..
I have made the prop hub adj fine pitch ..put in the 3 qts and ready to go up again
....Oh well
thats why they call it first test flight!!!
