Not to start anything,But....
With the low wing setup as in the RVs,with sumps in the wing, what is your
view on whether or not to install a gascolator in the RV8?
Thanks

The noise is something that I have been concerned about. The approach
path to the runway would not fly over any buildings, but there are
houses to each side of the path. I don't have an answer yet, but I want
to take steps to tone down the noise. My first thought was that, what
ever engine I eventually decide on, it should be turbo'd. Does anyone
have any suggestions as to how a person could make the plane quieter?
How about anyone from Europe? I understand that the noise regulations
there are quite a bit more stringent than they are here. Is that true?
If so, what steps do you take to keep the noise down? I live on the
prairies and, as a redneck, am qualified to put stacks on my plane, but
I think they might be a bit draggy :-)

Come on, no challenge is too difficult for homebuilders.
But . . . after Bert buys up at least a 1,500 foot strip of adjoining
property from his neighbors for a minimal landing strip . . . he will
then find himself in the position of municipal airports who must keep
puchasing complaining neighbor's properties or sound proofing their
homes.
If buying up the neighborhood is still cheaper than paying a few decades
of hanger rent at the local airport, it's a thought.
Otherwise, aren't there some helicopter kits out there?

For the reasons you gave, talking with Van's, and Airflow Performance. I
did not install mine.

Al,
I got 816 hits on "gascolator" on the Matronics RV list. There has been a
lot of discussion about it.

Mark,
In the case of your fictional circuit, the current is a constant
3 amps (12 volts / 4 ohms). The power consumption is 36 watts
(I
2 R). If you were to measure the voltage drop cross the 3 ohm
load you would find 9 volts across that device, with the remaining
3 volts dropped across the 1 ohm load.
Usually "voltage drop" is discussed (and becomes an issue) when a connection must
be made between two wires. Wired connections are
never ideal and some resistance will be present. This resistance
becomes a heater (I
2 R) and can further deteriorate a bad connection. This causes a loss in delivered
voltage to the circuits
or devices needing the power. High currents are typically a bad
thing for connections.
The other gotcha is wire size. Thinking about the amps = fluid
flow model, small wire = small pipe = high resistance of wire.
The result is voltage loss (Heating of the wire) = smoking wire.
This is the basis of fuses.

I am not installing one either. I will be watching the AP filter carefully
during early engine runs and taxi testing. Tanks may have metal chips and
proseal debris even after careful cleaning. Keeping tanks full cuts down on
water also.
