We are just getting ready to fly our RV9A for the first time, with an Aero
Sport 0-320 @ 9.0 - 1 ratio we are using an ACS 2500 engine monitor, I am
wondering if anyone out there that is running a similar engine could post
the average temp. ranges for things like EGT, CHT, Carb Temp. Oil Temp.
ect. we are not exaclty sure what temp's we should see on this new engine
and want to keep an eye on things as we run it. Any info will be
appreciated. Thanks.
Tod

Carlos, the mounting of my 13 cubic foot Aerox O2 system is pretty
simple. The bottle sits on the floor of the baggage compartment and is
attached to the back of the flap motor housing with two clamps. One
clamp came from a defunct CO2 bottle and the other is a large hose
clamp. I drilled through the clamps and the housing and attached them
with #10 flat head screws and nuts. I'll email you some photos.

And the controller/regulator, which one did you use and where did you put
it?

Tod,
I have an O-320-D2J 160hp with 9:1 with a SJ cowl and plenum.. here are some
ballpark numbers from memory.
EGT's are running in the upper 1300's during cruise. I think you want to keep
these below 1450... I kept mine below 1425 at all times.
CHT's are running in the 380's on the back two cylinders and cooler on the front
two. My engine guy (BPE) said DO NOT let the CHT get over 385 on the ground....
on climbouts mine will go up to about 410. I think you want to keep these below
425.
I have a firewall mounted oil cooler and temps have been running around 180-190
and that is with half the inlet blocked off and the OAT being in the 50's.
I've had it go up to 205 during full power runs or long climbs. I think 210 is
probably a good number to stay under.

Oil temps average160...warm weather 180. 200 hours on a rebuilt O320,
150HP, fixed Sensenich.

--> RV9-List message posted by: "Streiker, Stephen D." <steve@streiker.com>
Good afternoon
Dan Checkoway was kind enough to give me a ride this last weekend in his
beautiful RV7. I am in the final stages of deciding between beginning
an RV7 or an RV9. I was wondering if anyone on the list in Southern
California (or in DC area on the weekend of 22 April) might be so kind
as to give me a hop in a 9 so that I may have the basis to compare the
handling characteristics?
Any input regarding RV9's performance as an IFR platform would be
appreciated.
Thanks
