I have the Van's cowling and IO-360 angle valve engine. If anyone has good pics showing how to fit the seals to stop the air flow in the upper front center area, I would appreciate seeing them. Hi Dennis, I've got an IO-390 with a front-mounted prop governor, but the seal layout is about the same. Attached are some pictures of how I did mine. I had no problems with CHT or EGTs. - Matt Dralle RV-8 #82880 N998RV "Ruby Vixen" http://www.mattsrv8.com - Matt's Complete RV-8 Construction Log http://www.mattsrv8.com/Mishap - Landing Mishap Rebuild Log http://www.youtube.com/MattsRV8 - Matt's RV-8 HDTV YouTube Channel Status: 172+ Hours TTSN - Rebuilding Fuselage After Landing Mishap...

Bill broke the distance record a couple of weeks ago, flying non-stop from Guam to Jacksonville Florida. His modified Lancair 4 holds 360 gallons of fuel, and the inherently efficient design allows him to cruise at 180 knots averaging less than 9gph fuel burn. Use the below link to follow his flight. He is up linking a data point every four minutes. His first refuel is southern Brazil, then the southern tip of Argentina, from there over the South Pole to New Zealand, then Hawaii, Fairbanks, then over the North Pole back to Bangor Maine. Carl Begin forwarded message: From: sh < kitplanesue@gmail.com> Subject: Bill's polar flight Good morning, In case you're interested in following Bill's attempt to fly around both poles, here's the web link: https://go.spidertracks.com/fleetpro/public/zqpilot There are 4 small icons at the top left, the airplane icon puts a panel at the left that shows what ZQ is doing. Use the plus to zoom in or the minus to zoom out. You use the pile of papers icon to determine the view. Try hybrid view. If you click the X, it will take you to a screen where you select Tracks and then click on the top latest date. Once he's flying this will get you Bill's track as it is reported by Spidertracks. (it also shows him taxiing while on the ground) You must click on the last little teardrop to get his latest position info in a box on the screen. As he gets closer to some interesting landmarks you can zoom in. Let's all keep our fingers crossed for a safe journey, Sue ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv8-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV8-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv8-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv8-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
