> Today at about 12:30pm My Tech Counc. Fred LaForge took to the sky with my
RV-8, injected 180/CS . I flew chase with Gary Hart in his RV-6. As far as I
could tell it all went really well. We ate lunch after he landed, and then
my mom gave me the OK so I was out of there. Full throttle looked down to
check oil pressure and it was too late, already airborne and clmbing like
crazy. Fred followed in his RV-4 with RV-7 builder Robert Paisley. we took a
long hot flight out to the practice area and after some slow flight and
quick manuevers we came back to Cable and landed. It was my first hour and
it was too short but the OAT at 7,000' was over 100 and we had to get back.
> So here are all those answers to the questions I had about first flights.
Takeoff roll-no idea, but short. Rate of climb 110kts 1680'/min. Cruise at
6500' no gear fairings 125-130kts at 24/2400. All my temps were good the
hottest cylinder was #3 at 405 during climb and then 385 level. Coolest was
#1 335. Oil temp was 210-212 in the desert and 204 climbing out in the city.
I have a firewall mounted 7 row S/W oil cooler and an aluminum plenum. The
GPS showed a continous 150-155kts but I was told that if I wanted to fly to
OSH with the group I'd have to put the fairings on and speed it up.
> I can't thank the lists and the people at CCB enough for making all this
possible, without all this good advise and talented help I would still be
working on the tail kit.

Listers:
I am trying to decide the best way to route the wiring from the engie
instruments to the firewall in An RV8. With the location of the baggage
compartment, it seems you may have to go under it or run a conduit thru it?
Also what is the best way to route the pitot and static lines. I am up to
the panel, but not sure how to get the lines behind the panel unless I just
run the under it, bnut they will just be hanging there? ANy suggetsions.
Thanks.

I rivited an angle piece from the firewall to the instrument panel just
under the baggage floor and on the left side. All the wires are
suspended from that with cushion clamps. As for going under the panel,
just bundle them up with a cushion clamp.
