Leland, read your E-mail on throttle, mixture and carb heat this morning. I
am using the same controls. Is it possible that you could give me the diameters
of the portion of the cables that go through the firewall? This would let me
order firewall shields of the proper size.
I hope that the locations spelled out for these on Van's prints is correct,
on the firewall that is. Mine is a RV 7 and the 7 & 9 are both shown on dwg.
19.
If you are busy I will understand.
Dale Walker, Pa. RV7

Some time ago we discussed on this list the possibility of installing
the vane-type stall warner as sold by Spruce for $80 or so. A number
have been placed on RV6s and are going on RV7s. I inquired as to where
the vane could be placed on an RV9 airfoil and received the response
below. Has anybody else on this list installed one yet?
'Dear Leland
Thank you for your enquiry. As far as we are aware there is not
currently a 9A flying with the stall warner fitted. Hopefully there
should be one in the near future and we will be able to get some data
from that one.
The vane is ground adjustable so placing can be fairly approximate. If
the position was totally wrong then a stainless steel plate on the front
edge does cloak it quite neatly.
Regards
Nigel Reddish'

Hi Guys,
I'm asking of those who have experiance on any RVs. Should I insulate my
firewall? It seems the stainless firewall is quite thin and surely is going to
transmit a great deal of heat and sound. The material I have found is about .44
pounds per square foot, so it would be a significant weight penalty. It
would be easier now than later but I'm not sure if it's needed or not.
What is your opinions?
Thanks,
Dennis Thomas

YES....For the two reasons you mentioned. #1) NOISE #2) HEAT
Also, as long as you are doing the firewall, don't forget the forward floor.
Those that have bare floors have a much louder cockpit, and if you fly in
one, you can tell a huge difference when you move your feet off of the
floor.
Cheers,
Stein Bruch
