INNOCENT GLOBAL 0.0000 1.0000 -4.4912
Fellow RV builders,
I just installed KitLog Pro and started using it. I am finishing up my RV-7A fuselage
and I have been less then diligent in entering daily progress in my Excel
spread sheet that I was using as a building log. While I was up at the Copperstate
Fly-in I passed by the KitLog booth and spent a few minutes with Paul
Besing and I let him try to convince me why I should part with my money when
I had my Excel log working. After a few minutes I realized that I could do more
with the KitLog then my Excel spreadsheet log. I also realized that KitLog
may just help me be more diligent with my entries. In addition the reports
you can create will definitely help when it comes time to prepare for aircraft
certification.
I installed the program without incident and I was up and running. Now I can take
all my digital photos and organize them in the log. This is something I couldn't
do with my Excel spreadsheet. In addition I can post them to the KitLog
website so others can see them or just for a second backup to my computer.
The only things I wish it could do is while entering the data randomly pop-up inspirational
messages like:
"Your doing a great job"
"Looks like a Grand Champion in the making"
"Now you only have 29,999 rivets to go"
"Your in the home stretch"
"Measure twice cut once"
Food for thought
Paul Merems (RV-4/RV-7A)

| Subject: | Engine - cowling |
Hi guys,
Glad to post my first question to the group, and is as follows.
When ordering my kit I selected the engine mount and cowl for the 180 hp io 360.
My question is can I at this point choose to change to the 200 hp model and
then alter the cowling to remove air intake snorkel later and glass repair. Or
is the whole engine mount for the 200hp a different configuration.
Thanks guys
Paul Walter

As long as the engines have the same 'type' (1 or 2) dynafocal mount,
the mounting dimensions are the same from 320 through IO 360.

Thanks Charlie,
A guy also told me once that his Superior version of the 180HP O360 actually
dyno tested at 192 HP due to a different cam shaft that company uses. He
also stated that the 200HP engine was quite a bit heavier and there for no
advantage. His advice was Superior O or IO 360, 18OHP for best performance.

Charlie already covered the mount thing.
I suspect you could sell or trade the cowling if you didn't want to get into modifications. Seems like I see a cowling trade mentioned about once a month or so on the lists & forums. Try posting to the forums at http://www.vansairforce.net.
