I would be interested to know from those of you that have weighed your
aircraft, is the CofG tending to be to far forward or aft? I ask this
because as I install the few bits and pieces which can be put in a variety
of places I dont know which way to bias things. Did the example in the
manual seem similar to your own aircraft? I believe these figures are from
the O-320 VANS demonstrator.
Mine is an O-320-E2D with an electric MT prop. The prop is quite a bit
lighter than a Hartzell CS but clearly heavier than an FP prop. PC680 on the
firewall. The panel will have little in it, most of which weighs little more
than nothing. (Dynon, GR4000, ASI, Navaid, Microair rad and Transponder,
Skyforce and a few switches.)
All inputs welcome.
Regards, Steve.

--> RV9-List message posted by: "Steve Sampson" <SSampson.SLN21@london.edu>
Dale - I am interested in your query since although I dont have your
problem, it is certainly close, little more than the 1/4" I think. But I do
have the exhaust very close to the bolts at the bottom of the firewall and
also the lower cowl where it drops down. How far off these are you? Not only
will the engine move but I see no reason why they should not move left and
right as a pair. I have the heat muff pushed right up to the ball joint.
Steve.

Gary,
Thanks for the reply. I twisted mine, but it still contacts the cowl. I
can't slide it forward any farther because it is already butting against the
ball joint in the exhaust pipe. I'm thinking I might have to make the muff
shorter so it won't contact the cowl. It it will need at least 1/4"
clearance because the engine will move with respect to the cowl.

right. I also added a muff on the crossovers, and put the two in series.

I purchased O320B3B completly overhauled and ordered my mount from Vans
requiring several hundred dollars in advance. Well I think I've got
anothe tear jerker, the engine mounts up against the engine itself to the
point with proper torque I can't get the cotter pins in.No space between
engine and engine mount. Also the bracket holes for throttle and mixture
line up with mount looks like new holes have to drilled. Any body
encounter this problem. unless I'm missing something completly Engine
comes off with washer spacers or something, (erg remove engine).
RV9A Trying to mount engine.

You might try metal lock nuts instead of castle nuts. This is what I
have seen used on the Lancairs.

Richard - I am not a tool nut, but my view is buy all the dimple dies and
then you have them. They are cheap in the scheme of things. I cant tell you
how many times they crop up, but from time to time. Several of the locations
are in highly visible places. As I write that I am thinking of the tipper
canopy. My own view is I wish VANS just told you to get them all at the
start. Steve.

Steve,
Thaer is from 1/2-3/4" clearance between the cowl and exhaust pipe where the
pipes exit the cowl. The pipes are only 1/2" away from the bottom firewall
though.

Joe,
Are you talking about the engine mount mounting bolts, or the bolts in the
dynafocal mounts?

Hi Gary,
I've been lurking for a long while on this list and just found a HUD Display
mentioned on the Yahoo Glass Cockpit forum.
http://www.jrl-engineering.com I suspect it could be worthwhile to take a
look at.

Steve: My finished empty weight (with paint) is 1079 lbs. and the CG is
7.63 inches aft of the leading edge with an O320-E2D, SkyTec starter,
Electro Systems (large) alternator, standard instruments, and a Sensenich FP
prop. This is exactly where Van's shows the empty weight CG in their sample
calculations in the manual. Their sample weight is 1071 lbs.
