After squeezing about 100 #4 rivets in the empennage skeleton, I'm looking
for a pneumatic squeezer. Does anyone out there have a used one for sale? Or
recommendations on particular models/suppliers/yokes?

A friend of mine who doesn't monitor this list is starting to fly off
the 25 hours on his recently completed RV-9A. He has an 0-320 and a fixed
pitch Sensenich prop. He wants to know what final approach speed those of
you with a similar engine/prop combination are using.
Thanks,
Mark Schrimmer

I have the same combination and started off with about 80mph on dw, 70 on
final and started to flare at about 60. Also found that full flaps are a
great help keeping the nose from being so high in the flare. Beware of
setting the plane down with high airspeeds since several have either hit the
nose gear on touchdown or after a bit of porpoising. Have his buddies hold
the tail down into a landing configuration so he can see where the
nose/horizon should be before that first flight.
Good luck-this is a great plane.

Interesting you mention that Albert, The other day I tried some no flap landings
again (had not done any since my earily testing days) and I was amazed at how
high the nose had to be to capture 70mph and flying down final. Good practice
for the day when the flap motor fails!

I've installed a standard 160hp 320 carbureted LYC. engine in my rv-9a and have
some questions some of you guys flying or otherwise can probably answer.
1. What cylinder should I install a single exhaust gas temperature probe? I have
a baffle mounted oil cooler located behind the no. 3 cylinder.
2. I'm installing a cold weather primer on the top port on the nos. 1 and 3 cylinders,
any problems?
3. Cylinder head temp (single probe) on bottom side of no. 4 cyl, any concerns?
4. Manifold pressure on lower rear port on no.4 cyl.?
5. FWF Kit came with a curved aluminum plate to strap in front of the Gascolator
to reduce radiant heat from nearby exhaust pipe does anyone recommend a cooling
tube similar to the tubes supplying air from the rear of the engine baffle
to the mags? I noticed Piper completely shrowds both the Gascol. and the fuel
pump and supplys cooling air as well.
6.What about the alternator and supplying cooling air from the right baffle floor?
7.Anyone have any experince using the E-Z or SAF-AIR oil drain devices to "aid
in changing your oil" ? See ppg 261 Aircraft Spruce.
8.My overhauled engine has a four bolt oil screen on the rear accessory case and
I want to convert over to a remote mounted filter, anyone have any experience
with the Airwolf brand?
9. Lastly, I'd like to hard pipe the gascolator bottom outlet drain to a Safe-Air
drain valve accessible at the bottom of the cowl, anyone tried this?
Hopefully with the number of 9's flying someone can share their best advice on
installing this equipment. I have consulted Van's and have received conflicting
info.
