I know at least ONE GUY that will read this : )....'eh Bullet?? Rick at the Buffalo Farm - read on: RV-4 NEW CAFE TRIAVIATHON CHAMPION BY BRIEN A SEELEY AND THE CAFE BOARD The CAFE Board was initially surprised to learn that an RV-4 builder wanted an opportunity to break the Triaviathon record. We explained to him that the CAFE Triaviathon record attempts were made by invitation only. To qualify, an aircraft was required to exhibit outstanding performance in top speed, climb and stall speed. The typical candidates were aircraft with well over 300 horsepower. We politely told the RV-4 builder that we would consider hosting his record attempt if he would submit an explanation of how his aircraft could realistically qualify as a contender. This was, after all, a very difficult record to break. The original Triaviathon record, set by John Harmon in the Harmon Rocket on May 8, 1993 had stood for over 4 years. Jeff Ackland's record attempt in March 1997 in the 500 hp Legend, had missed the record by about 8%. Jeff had vowed to return with more horsepower in the Legend. The RV-4 builder was persistent. He submitted an im- pressive list of his RV-4 performance modifications. That list, shown in the sidebar, unquestionably qualified him as a true student of CAFE racing ideas. But could an aircraft with only 200 hp seriously challenge the record? We decided to let him have a shot at it. When he arrived at the CAFE Foundation hangar, it became apparent that this RV-4 builder meant business. He practiced dentistry in Visalia, California as his day job. By night, however, he was a passionate airplane builder. His name was Dave Anders. He seemed deceptively calm and mild mannered for a man who was about to make a world record attempt. The care and precision evident in all of his many RV-4 modifications spoke volumes about the depth of his commitment to this project. Several of these modifications merit The polished aluminum finish on this aircraft, which revealed every rivet head, showed superb metalwork. The elegantly simple and clean design of the controls, hardware and interior must also have been a factor in this aircraft winning so many workmanship awards. However, besides per- fecting the aircraft's appearance, Dave also focused intensely on drag reduction and increasing the engine's power output. This passion for excellence in both cosmetics and per- formance suggested he might surprise us with his score. Preparing N230A for the record attempt would mean achieving an optimized power to weight ratio. This meant removing as many non- essential parts of the aircraft as was legal within the FARs. At the August 1997 Oshkosh Convention, when Dave made the decision to go after the record, he began dieting. By the time he arrived at CAFE, he had lost 23.5 pounds of body weight in 7 weeks! He figured that every pound he lost would increase his rate of climb by 3 fpm. The cooling system modifications include 34 square inches of total inlet area through two machined, axi-symmetric inlets with internal diffusers to a downdraft plenum. The cooling outlet is 24.7 square inches and is augmented with exhaust flow. The fuel injector servo throat was opened and its diffuser re-profiled, eliminating 3 of the 4 ram sensing tubes in the throat. Holes, radii and polished chamfers were used everywhere possible to save weight. TRIAVIATHON HISTORY The CAFE Triaviathon rewards the best combination of top speed, stall speed and rate of climb. These three flight regimes represent an aircraft's 'athleticism' and mutually conflict from an aircraft design point of view. For example,designing for low stall speed typically limits an aircraft's top speed, and top speed often demands shorter wing spans which reduce climb performance. The perpetual CAFE Triaviathon Trophy, created by the CAFE Board in 1993, symbolizes this conflict in aircraft design. On display in the EAA Air Adventure Museum, it honors the aircraft designer and the pilot who set records in this event. These records are also certified by the National Aeronautics Association. The Triaviathon scoring formula is: 28110625 x [Vmax x ROC]2 Score = [4100625 + Vso4] x 109 where Vso is stall speed, ROC is rate of climb and Vmax is the top speed at 6000' pressure altitude. The formula is complex because it was designed to proportionately reward stall speeds between 35 and 70 mph. Stalls above 70 mph receive a progressively increasing scoring penalty. Stalls below 35 mph do little to improve the score. The measured rate of climb is converted to equal that for the altitude window of 2500'-3500' in standard day atmosphere. An initial, high speed calibration flight is performed while recording airspeed and altitude on both a wingtip barograph and a cabin barograph. The barograph, mounted on the wingtip, uses its own calibrated pitot-static source while the cabin barograph is connected to "T" fittings in the aircraft's pitot static system. The cal- ibrated airspeeds (CAS) recorded on the wingtip barograph provide a correction table for the cabin barograph recordings. The wingtip barograph is removed for the second flight and the maximum speed is recorded by the cabin barograph only. That speed is then cor- rected to CAS using the airspeed correction table derived from the wingtip mounted barograph. If the test flight shows that the stock static system is accurate, the rate of climb performance of the second flight, made without the wingtip barograph, can be used for scoring. If the static system is not accurate, the ROC from the first flight is used in the scoring. PREPARATIONS Dave arrived at the CAFE hangar on Friday, September 26, 1997, with his wife, Diane, and an entourage of well-wishers. The first task was to drain all of the fuel from his aircraft and measure its empty weight. N230A weighed just 975 lbs. empty including the IO-360 A1A Lycoming engine and Hartzell constant speed propeller. Installation of the barographs and camcorder was made by the CAFE team in preparation for a record attempt at dawn. Everyone hoped for clear skies and smooth air. Meanwhile, Dave applied thin blue translucent Mylar tape to all gaps and surface slits on the aircraft to reduce leakage drag. He installed a very small "racing" tailwheel. Tiny, precisely-built afterbody fairings for the fuel tank quick-drains and aileron hinges (using scaled airfoil coordinates!) were installed in preparation for the record run. Dave arrived the next morning wearing very light clothing ("Hammer pants") and very lightweight shoes like those used by wrestlers. He skipped breakfast and made one last trip to the bathroom before climbing into N230A. The first flight was made with about 12 gallons of fuel. Stall speed was recorded on the wingtip barograph. Dave exhibited great piloting skill as he delicately approached stall using the maximum allowable manifold pressure (14" Hg.). The Vmax speeds registered on the wingtip and cabin barograph were recorded and compared. The second flight was made with about 8 gallons of fuel, allowing just enough for VFR minimums. The rate of climb and Vmax part of Dave's record derived from the second flight. During those Vmax runs, the propeller turned at just over 2900 RPM, the limiting speed for a constant speed prop. TRIAVIATHON RECORDS The original Triaviathon record was set by John Harmon in the Lycoming IO-540 powered Harmon Rocket II on May 8, 1993. His achievements were: Top Speed 244.79 mph. Rate of Climb 3330.21 fpm. Stall Speed 56.36 mph. Score: 1316.45. Dave Anders' RV-4, on September 27, 1997, achieved the following: Top Speed 250.71 mph. Rate of Climb 3308.39 fpm. Stall Speed 44.78 mph. Score: 2381.24. This bettered John Harmon's previous record by over 1,000 points and 'raised the bar' so high that future Triaviathon contestants may have to use aircraft that are 'purpose-built' for the event. As one considers what kind of aircraft that would be, many very challenging design questions arise. Would it have more span? a thinner wing? retractable gear? full span Fowler flaps? Dave's plans for future modifications are a carbon fiber cowl, elevator and rudder, along with a fastback canopy to reduce flow separation at the canopy trailing edges. There is a clear possibility that his record may be broken in the near future by a woman aviator -- his wife, Diane!! CONCLUSIONS A highly modified RV-4 has shattered the CAFE Triaviathon record. David W. Anders, pilot/manufacturer and Richard VanGrunsven, designer, will have their names inscribed upon the perpetual CAFE Triaviathon Trophy and will be officially recognized at the 1998 Oshkosh Convention for this new world record. It is noteworthy that the RV-4 aircraft is not purpose-built for Tri- aviathon competition; it remains a 2-place, aerobatic, efficient cross-country travelling machine. The big lesson from this new record is that keeping an aircraft's weight to a minimum has a magical effect upon its performance. Efficient structural engineering deserves the same attention as drag reduction and engine hot-rodding. It was a pleasure and a privilege to host Dave Anders and his RV-4 for its record attempt in the CAFE Triaviathon. He should be congratulated for his extraordinary achievement in producing this remarkable aircraft and its new world record. by m5.grp.scd.yahoo.com with QMQP; 19 Jan 2005 22:34:08 -0000 by mta3.grp.scd.yahoo.com with SMTP; 19 Jan 2005 22:34:08 -0000 From: "Rick Gray" List-Unsubscribe: Subject: [OhioValleyRVators] For the 'Speedster' in you!!

It is only about 1 1/2 hours by RV ... lets have more this year representing SERV !! Len Just a heads up gang, this years date is set as February 26th. weather permitting. This is what was in the RVator last year. I'll keep everyone informed. WOW, what can I say? 86+ RVs and over 107 total aircraft this past February 28th at i39 Richmond, KY. http://members16.clubphoto.com/rick742624/guest.phtml Big thanks to Rick Schwandt for the pictures. What started out as an informal UFO (Ultimate Fly Out) by the Ohio Valley RVators to my shop, turned into a great kickoff for this years fly-in season. As most on the RV lists are aware, I moved the event from my shop to the airport two weeks prior to the event. At that time, I made some phone calls to round up door prizes. The weather forecast for the entire east coast promised beautiful weather, this time we were not disappointed. The first arrival was from the Michigan, Indiana border and was at 7:40AM. By this time the local EAA chapter had coffee and free donuts. Shortly thereafter, the pattern was full of RVs coming from all directions. It was a continuous dialogue of "flight of four inbound with traffic in sight", "flight of two following flight of two". Give credit to the pilots, at no time did I ever witness anything remotely compromising. I took care of parking RVs on the ramp until it filled. The ramp was double stacked, leaving taxi space between rows. My youngest son and a friend took care of directing arrivals on the taxiway where pilots were allowed to park there own airplanes as they wished. The taxiway is nearly 1500' long. We had RVs and certified, parked wingtip to wingtip nearly to the end of the taxiway. By the way, we tried to only allow RVs onto the ramp. Reserve parking was saved for TeamRV and the Ohio Valley RVators as they promised to put on three different formation flights. TeamRV, led by Mike Stewart arrived from Atlanta with a flight of 9, as did Ohio Valley, led by Rick Gray. Ohio Valley had either 17 or 18 arrivals. Indy Wing topped the list with 20 RVs which included 2 fire breathing Super 8s. 12 represented the TN VALLEY BUILDER GROUP; the Palmetto Wing had 3 along with 3 from SERV. I believe the group from Pontiac, MI made it in along with a two from Florida, west from MO and from north east of DC. At noon I took a little break and started counting airplanes. A couple RVs had already left by then so I added them to the count. At noon we had 86 RVs and 107 total aircraft for the fly-in. More RVs arrived after noon but I did not try and keep count, as I was busy with lunch, formation flying and the door prizes. I also squeezed in a little "shopping" time walking and looking at RVs. After a lunch of hamburgers, hotdogs and free Hooters wings TeamRV, as a flight 5 and Ohio Valley, as a flight of 5 put on individual formation flight demonstrations, which would make the most harden envious. Icing on the cake came form a final 8 ship formation showcase as a joint formation flight demonstration made up of both teams. A reporter and photographer went up with TeamRV. Stunning photographs now grace the front page of the local Sunday paper. http://www.richmondregister.com/articles/2004/02/29/news/news01.txt Door prizes were given out from the following supporters: Van's Aircraft, Builders Bookstore, Control Vision AnyWhere Map, EZ Pilot Auto Pilot, engalt.com/aviation.htm fabulous post light system, Experimentalair.com CAD designed and water jet cut instrument panel, Kitlog Pro, Grand Rapids, Trutrack autopilot discounts from aircraftextras.com, Avery and Cleaveland.

We had RVs and certified, parked wingtip to wingtip nearly to the end of the taxiway. By the way, we tried to only allow RVs onto the ramp. Reserve parking was saved for TeamRV and the Ohio Valley RVators as they promised to put on three different formation flights. TeamRV, led by Mike Stewart arrived from Atlanta with a flight of 9, as did Ohio Valley, led by Rick Gray. Ohio Valley had either 17 or 18 arrivals. Indy Wing topped the list with 20 RVs which included 2 fire breathing Super 8s. 12 represented the TN VALLEY BUILDER GROUP; the Palmetto Wing had 3 along with 3 from SERV. I believe the group from Pontiac, MI made it in along with a two from Florida, west from MO and from north east of DC. At noon I took a little break and started counting airplanes. A couple RVs had already left by then so I added them to the count. At noon we had 86 RVs and 107 total aircraft for the fly-in. More RVs arrived after noon but I did not try and keep count, as I was busy with lunch, formation flying and the door prizes. I also squeezed in a little "shopping" time walking and looking at RVs. After a lunch of hamburgers, hotdogs and free Hooters wings TeamRV, as a flight 5 and Ohio Valley, as a flight of 5 put on individual formation flight demonstrations, which would make the most harden envious. Icing on the cake came form a final 8 ship formation showcase as a joint formation flight demonstration made up of both teams. A reporter and photographer went up with TeamRV.

Everything just clicked weather-wise so a lot of people showed up. I would think we could more than double last year's "SERV" attendance. {:-) If we can get a dozen on short notice to Stanton's, we should be able to duplicate that for this trip.

It is only about 1 1/2 hours by RV ... lets have more this year representing SERV !! Len Just a heads up gang, this years date is set as February 26th. weather permitting. This is what was in the RVator last year. I'll keep everyone informed. WOW, what can I say? 86+ RVs and over 107 total aircraft this past February 28th at i39 Richmond, KY. http://members16.clubphoto.com/rick742624/guest.phtml Big thanks to Rick Schwandt for the pictures. What started out as an informal UFO (Ultimate Fly Out) by the Ohio Valley RVators to my shop, turned into a great kickoff for this years fly-in season. As most on the RV lists are aware, I moved the event from my shop to the airport two weeks prior to the event. At that time, I made some phone calls to round up door prizes. The weather forecast for the entire east coast promised beautiful weather, this time we were not disappointed. The first arrival was from the Michigan, Indiana border and was at 7:40AM. By this time the local EAA chapter had coffee and free donuts. Shortly thereafter, the pattern was full of RVs coming from all directions. It was a continuous dialogue of "flight of four inbound with traffic in sight", "flight of two following flight of two". Give credit to the pilots, at no time did I ever witness anything remotely compromising. I took care of parking RVs on the ramp until it filled.
