I am going to use an O-320-E3D that I got used "mid time". I will overhaul with
9:1 pistons, probably a single lightspeed, probably Ellison TBI (since it did
not come with a carb) and maybe an ASI cam. Hoping for around 170hp without
the extra 8ish pounds. Going to use a Sensenich 70 X 81" or 82" prop.
If I had not found the used engine I was planning to do the ECI O-360 kit or else
the O-320 kit with overhauled rods.

JC,
Let me know what you find out as this list has been/is my plan. 9:1 and Sensenich
81 or 82.
I wonder how Catto props stand up to flight in the rain? Maybe I should check
into one of them as people seem to like them and you lose the 2600 rpm restriction
I bet.

does anyone have suggestions/instructions for installing the clear lenses in the
point of the wing tip. If I had any they have been "misfiled".

Hi John,
Mine came as 1peice. It looks a small bubble and you need to cut it in half
to make the 2 lenses. Pretty simple and straight forward task.

after cutting and fitting, how did you attach it to the fairing. did you do more
than "eye-ball" the position/strobe to the fairing?
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
I don't have the specifics, but I do know a great website where you can get
some information with great pictures of how to "Install Wingtip Lens". Randy
Pflanzer has a great website where he is buidling his F1 Rocket. If you go to
the site and look at his section on installing the wingtip lens, you'll get some
great information. Check it out.

Hope this helps.....

Hi Scott Delllangelo:
I live in the northeast region of Brasil, and in the summer time weve got a lot
of
sparsed rain in our heading. My last airplane, a FASCINATION (Germany ultralight
airplane), had a composite propeller, and Ive got a lot problems in the leading
edge
surface.
http://www.cattoprops.com/index.html
This is the answer from Mr Craig, form rep Catto Propellers about it.:
"Hello JC,
The way that my propeller is manufactured, the type of composite
structure is very durable to rain... Here is how it works.... I have
many customers in eastern US and rain is a big concern there..
If you pull the rpm back to 2200 to 2300 rpm, you will not have any
erosion at all of the leading edge in medium rain... However in your
situation, an area of lots of rain, I would highly recommend the use of
PropGuard Leading Edge Tape.. I stock the material and install it on
propellers for my customers for this type of flying.
With the PropGuard Tape installed, you can fly through rain at full
throttle and not hurt anything.. The cost is only $85 for the three
bladed prop installed.. It will last about 2 to 3 years, you pull it off
and install new tape.. It is very easy to install and is STC'd.
Regards,
Craig Catto"
Gimme an answer.

I used # 6 nutplates and countersink machine screws, at first 1 each, top and
bottom on the rear inside corner. After flying a bit they seem to lifting
some so I added another nutplate on the bottom, halfway between the rear corner
and leading edge.
I have the combination,strobe and position lights and did just eyeball their
location. Be sure they are far enough to the rear that they will be clear of
the lense surface.

Richard/Bill - Sorry not to come back sooner, but I have been away. Yes I
guess the center of the mount is very slightly aft, however the head itself
is in fact further forward. I have just pulled out the VANS and Gretz
instructions since you had me worried. In fact I doubt it is that sensitive
in practice either. I also have not yet flown.
Regards, Steve.

I have about 200 hours on my RV-9A with a 160hp engine and the 79 pitch Senesenich
prop. I settled on this option after reading Van's article in the forth issue,
2001, of the RVator on why not to use more than 160hp.
I have developed the following numbers over the 200 hours and you may wish to use
them in considering your final engine and prop choice. Full throttle at 8000'
is 188 miles an hour and 2580 RPM. Not an area one would want to cruise at
with the 2600 limit. Therefore, I cruse at 2450 and 180 miles an hour. At
this power setting the true airspeed is maintained over a wide range of altitudes.
I fly with a group of RV-6's (most with 180 HP and constant speed props).
They say they have to reduce their power about 1"MP for me to stay up with
them. A T-18 also flies with us and he and I have identical airspeed for the
same RPM. I am based at an elevation of 5600' and on initial takeoff roll I get
2230 RPM. The initial climb is never less than 1000ft/min. With a normal
range of 1000 to 1500 ft/min.
Performance wise I am very happy with this combination and feel it was the right
choice and does not exceed the designers limits.
The one thing I am still working on is how to get it slowed down to the 100mph
initial flap speed and not fly a very long pattern. The airplane is very clean
and will gain speed very quickly if one lowers the nose just a little and you
will not be able to get it to flap speed. A constant speed prop would be nice
to help this flight dynamic. The trade off is the forward CG. If one does
go to a constant speed prop you may wish to calculate the impact on the CG and
plan accordingly.
