Engines)
--> RV9-List message posted by: "Cory Emberson" <bootless@earthlink.net>
Hello everyone,
I've subscribed (quietly) to this list for a little more than a year, and
would like to hear from you if you're a builder who has successfully
installed and flown an alternative engine in your plane. I'm writing a
builder's roundup for Kitplanes magazine, and am looking for an installation
that's flown for a minimum of 150 hours, and is currently flying.
For the builders that we profile, the magazine will also be able to pay you
$100 for the write-up. We would also need at least 2-3 good photos,
including a close-up of the engine and an overall shot of the aircraft.
Additional photos would be great, and all photos will be returned. If you
have digital photos, it is very important that they be high-resolution, at
least 300 dpi.
I have a list of specific areas to address if you'd like to participate, but
we can handle that off-line.
Please feel free to contact me off-line at:
cory @ lightspeededit.com (remove the spaces - my anti-spam protection)
or reply offline to my list email address.
I have a rather short deadline, so if you're able to contact me as soon as
you're able, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you so much!
best,
Cory Emberson

Hi Guys,
Just a heads up to those who have not bolted on the
prop yet. I'm talking fixed pitch, aluminum Sensinich.
The first thing the bolt goes through is the aluminum
backplate of the spinner.
I am doing my first anual and the first thing on my
list was to remove the prop, inspect it, the bolts,
hub and spinner assembly. I took off the safety wire,
loosened the bolts, and then backed them out with a
drill driver. Too fast. The bolt holes in the spinner
back plate was a tight fit. I looked at the bolts
after they were out 3 of them were scored and galled
so basdly they were not servicable. The other 3 were
marginal.
New bolts from Sensinich are on order, at $50 each.
OUCH! I reemed the holes to a looser fit. A silly
mistake cost me several dollars that I would have
rather spent elsewhere.
