I am also building an RV-9A and would be interested in knowing what you find out. Hopefully someone will have the info and post it. How far along are you? I am just starting the fuselage and am working on the firewall bulkhead. I left my wing bottom skins off pending decisions about wiring, autopilot, etc. How did you determine which model of the various O-320's you wanted? Thanks.

How do I determine that data? The engine is a Lycoming O-320 E3D. thanks, Mike ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:50:10 AM PST US From: jc@INFONET.COM.BR Subject: RE: RV9-List: tachometer markings Hy there: Due to some vibrations couplings it is mandatory to consult the prop maker about RPM limitations, too. Usually we could put a top red at 2700, botton yellow at 2600, botton green at 600, yellow up to zero.

Ice" Subject: Re: RV9-List: tachometer markings Bruce, I found a source yesterday that pretty much was right in line with the information that JC provided concerning the Tach. I have the fuselage and all of the major components completed except the wiring and canopy. I have the firewall forward and finish kit on order and they should be here around the end of January. I am trying to complete the wiring before then so I can start to work on the canopy. Price and availability were the determining factors for deciding on the engine I ended up with. I knew I wanted a Lycoming O-320 of some type and I desired a wide deck model with a conical mount and then just started looking for one. I was lucky to find a unit that was just rebuilt by a local shop. Unfortunately for the previous owner before it could be reinstalled in his Piper Warrior a Moose decide to wing walk on his airplane. I am finding the wiring process to be very educational. I started out not know anything and scared to try. I went with the Van's wire harness and now have completely removed it and I am now installing the Z-11 system from the Aeroelectric book.

Why not go with an electronic EMS? Then you can program your tack to read whatever you want.

Ice" Subject: Re: RV9-List: tachometer markings MessageBill, Not sure what an EMS is but the reason I didn't get it is probably $$. I gave the numbers to the instrument shop and when I get the new tach all the little lights will glow the proper colors. Did you get an EMS?
