I'm flying a RV-6A I built a few years ago and have always had oil temps ab
out 220=C2=B0F on 90=C2=B0 days..
I am wondering what the difference is between the RV-6 and 6A that causes m
any 6A's to have elevated oil temps. Besides the nose wheel structure in t
he cowling air exit that is. If you have a tri gear and experience the sam
e malady, do you have the intersection fairing between the nose wheel strut
and the lower cowl?? I do not as of now. My baffles are sealed about as w
ell as I can get them also. That is a high pressure area during flight an
d I wonder if enough air is leaking into the cowl to raise the pressure in
the lower section, i.e. less flow. If you have the fairing and have "norma
l" temps I would appreciate feedback also.
Thanks fellas,
Larry , RV-6A N939LT at 2R2

You may consider building an exit ramp inside the cowling that looks
like a fairing around the whole nosegear cluster. This should smooth the
hot exit airflow quite a bit...
How are you CHT's doing when the oil is at 220 degrees? Perhaps you
just need a better oil-cooler arrangement if all else is in the green,
but not the oil.
do not archive

Can anybody out there in Matronicsland give me the real pitch on allowable
aerobatic maneuvers in the 6A?
I gather the factory has fairly recently said "no recreational spinning,"
but I wonder if that is some kind of a CYA recco. I gather the 6A winds-up fast
in a spin, but is it truly unsafe to spin two or three turns?
The other two I miss from my Yak-52 days are snap rolls and hammerheads.
What's the scoop? I'm starting to bore myself......
Thanks
- Mike

Mike:
Van's does indeed recommend "no recreational spins" for the -6, but that
doesn't mean "no spins." Van's specifically recommends that you spin test your
-6 if you're going to do aerobatics, which it sounds like you plan to do.
Since aeros could lead to an inadvertent spin I think that's sound advice, and
they put some guidelines in the plans for doing it.

FYI - I've got a 6A with the standard 'small' tail. I have spun it both
right & left - no big deal. I didn't wind it up, only a turn or 2. That was
enough for me to prove it during testing. I would have no problems doing
recreational spins for a good time.
Get some training if you need to - Mike Seager trained me in Van's 6A serial
#1 (old blue). We looped, rolled and had a ball without stressing out the
plane. It also has the small tail. I have not tried the full hammerhead,
since a tail slide could be nasty. I'm not an aero pilot, just want to know
the limits and actions of the plane.
