Hi Guys,
I am presently trying to install the cowling on my O-200 601XL. If I fit it
so the prop fits the prop hub, the front (aviation) spark plugs interfere
with the cowling. I notice Sabrina uses a prop hub extension rather than
automotive spark plugs. Is the prop hub extension or the automotive spark
plugs the only alternatives?
Cheers

Peter,
I have on O-200 and had the same problem. You can modify the cowl with a
small bubble over the spark plug.

that I agree with. My point is people are building the flaps with too much play,
and they think that is fine. They need to do it right the first time, or should
be redone.

6-S-3
I had a real problem, knowing of the aileron unzipping at the time, to rivet the
first three rivets inboard of the aileron attach point on the top flange of
the rear spar with rivets that would grip nylo!
Think about it for a minute.
My stop is about twice as long, rounded at the forward edge and is riveted to the
outboard flap rib below and parallel to the top skin. It engages the rear
spar about 12 mm below the top flange. So too, the heads of the rivets holding
the stop in place engage the nylo, goes through it and is pulled snug against
the aluminum rib.
My plans will be at the Zenith dinner at Air Venture.

Poor fellow Texans. My turn to gloat: Texas is a big state, with a lot
of
variety in weather. Here in the Chihuahua desert, it's been a dry 96
by
mid-afternoon, with nights in the 60s or upper 50s.
I do remember the hot days when I lived northeast of Dallas. It seemed
some
days like I practically had to pry the plane off the ground.

Good idea Sabrina, however if the flap motor puls the flap 2 mm past the point
where the stop arrests the outboard edge, the total twist on the flap is negligable,
max .0001 of one degree. so at the speeds the 601 fly, the negative
incidence is moot. good train of thought though. check the geomtry by figuring
the triangle angle measurements.

Juan

You could go to a cafe in Anchorage for breakfast and order a regular

Juan, I respectfully disagree with your math, you assume a solid fixture with linear
movement, the flap arm is moving the fairly flexible flap along an arc at
that point. The play in the flap hinge alone can account for more than .0001
degrees.
P.S. Juan, thanks for playing the Devil's Advocate, I appreciate it. I truly respect
you as "Mr. Build to Plans" and I am one of those who questions just about

I'm not sure all these are mods I would incorporate, but some of them sound

Juan, I think you missed the point.
99% of my reason for moving the gap stop was to avoid having three key rivets subject
to the nylo.
Just like one of my canopy mods, one can't bump a single release during a flight
and have it come loose on you.
The only time my canopy has opened is when the PIC opens it, and even when they
do, it does not pop up in flight due to the winglets and interrupter.
These are not mods just to make someone feel safer, they are safer.
Not to say my idea is the right idea, just an idea... Moving the flap stop to
RR#6 might work as well. Less twist than at RR#7 but you avoid creating a
weak link in the rear spar at a critical point.

Hi all
If I have up 2 flap stops one at each end of the flap, would that not stop the
flap twist when up??

Hi Chris,
I'm afraid that would create one of those unintended consequences.
The flap structure is moved by a force applied to the innermost
rib. That means any tendency it has to twist under aerodynamic
forces would allow the far end to break free from the stop. My
notion of the twisting issue is the motor forces the structure to
twist as much as it can before stopping upward movement. This holds
the whole structure firmly in place.
I don't really know how important this amount of movement is. I
suppose it depends on how stiff the flap is in the first place. With
its triangular cross section I doubt it would twist much under any conditions.

Chris,
By definition if Juan has a gap of 4mm inboard and 6mm outboard, the flap is twisting.
This is not a big problem unless you crank the flap down hard like some
have and get 1/6 or 0/6 gap differentials without realizing it.
By using two stops one would be compounding the original problem, that being now
6 rear spar rivets on each side that are not really holding the spar to the
top skin as well as one would like.

I would think this would require cowl surgery. Can you state what you did in
general terms, so I can see if it would be practical in my application? I'm
using an O200, and I'm hearing there will be a problem with plug clearance.

That's too interesting a description not to ask what it means.

I'm interested in the topic of reinforcing of both spar carry throughs. As
I've said before on this forum, although I don't necessarily question Chris
Heintz analysis of the spar carry-throughs, they don't visually look all that
robust. If I weren't so lazy, I suppose I'd do my own analysis, but since I
am old and lazy, I think it's worth looking at what others have done.
Further, I see a need for a head rest (personal preference). If there is a way
to accomplish both these goals at one time, it is of interest.
Thanks for any details you can provide.

The factory cowl is more than long enough to use a HCM 3" prop spacer. (1972 Cessna
150L) The MISO liked my idea so much, they raised my mod with AMD.
We will go after one at a time so we don't get too many flames going at once.
Remember, what I listed as a single mod might have dozens of changes. For example,
above, I also made fairings for the exhaust tips, I closed the factory
oil door hole, cut my own, and added two air intakes upfront to cool the exhausts/heat
muffs. I did not like how the sides of the upper cowl did not want
to meet the lower cowl so I cut groves inside, forced them straight and layed
up glass inside. I also added glass reinforcement to the aft edge where it mounts
to the fuselage.
Remember to add a small drain hole in bottom cowl just under the air intake, it
has a tendancy to hold water/ice.

Jeff,
Congrats from a fellow Virginia builder.
On Sunday I drilled some holes in my wings. I also made my LRI probe.

[quote="jeffrey_davidson(at)earth"]After nearly 15 years of education and recreation,
N601T is now an actual airplane! I received my Airworthiness Certificate
on Friday. I was lucky enough to have a FSDO here in the Northern Virginia
area willing to do the Inspection. So your taxes paid for my inspection! Thank
you!
Some details:
CH601-HD with various XL upgrades including the front hinged canopy and firewall
supports.
Jabiru 3300A with solid lifters and the JabiruUSA firewall forward package.
Leading edge tanks only fuel system.
Top front fuselage skin is removable with nut plates and screws.
Dual throttles and Y center stick.
Dynon EMS and EFIS (flip-flopable).
Garmin 327 XPDR and SL40 COM radios.
Garmin 496 GPSMAP installed in the panel.
PS Engineering 4000 intercom.
Oregon Aero seats covered locally with embroidered ZAC logo w/permission.
Sans paint so far.
I started to list all the people from the list that helped along the way from George
Pinneno and the two Mikes to Fred Hulen and Jeff Small, but the list was
way too many names. My technical counselors have been: Chuck Shedd, Rob Brooks,
Ralph Hoover, and Dick Koehler (yes, that Richard Koehler). Dick is my
Flight Advisor too. Various others from the Warrenton airport (HWY) in Midland
Virginia have been directly involved too. I received flight instruction from
Jason Long in a 601XL and from Younis Forsyth in a 650.
Thanks to all .

| Subject: | Grove 5" wheel hub caps |
G'day all,
I have been searching for hub caps for my 5" grove wheels, but unable to find any.
They only seem to make them for the 6" wheels. Has anyone found some suitable
that bolt straight on to the 3 bolt pattern?
Cheers
Darryl.
