I translated and summarized the following for an RV-7A builder in Italy named Lucio. He acquired a used Lyc IO-360 A1A in parts (no history or other info given), and a trusted mechanic can rebuild it ...

Lucio - not sure I understand your questions. Can you re-phrase, please?
(Non capisco che hai scritto - per favore, riformuli un'altra volta? Ti
posso aiutare un po se vuoi srivimi in italiano. Gr ...

My RV-9A wing strobe wires will be a little short in reaching the
fuselage mounted power supply. I could buy some longer wires, but I
have a spare set that can be used to splice on some extra len ...

Bob - real sorry you have to give this up. I believe it would be better
to sell now - as you said, there isn't much monetary gain by completing
the wings. You will probably have to slightly unders ...

I was able to use the no-hole long squeezer yoke on the second to last
one, then an MK319-BS pop rivet at the end. You can make a flat bucking
bar with some steel plate, but I decided the time spe ...

Bob (and anyone else who has wire length data for their RV),
So you had more than enough ordering 100 feet of each color and gauge you mention below, or were these multi 100' spools?
If I was to si ...

I'm currently wiring my RV-9A wings, and want to leave enough wire at
the root to reach the panel uninterrupted, as opposed to putting in a
plug or butt splice. What is an estimated length to be s ...

Getting ready to do the same, and have all the parts and an old headset
to gut for the mic, cords, and plugs.
A couple simple Q's:
1) And the most basic of questions - if I build a stereo headset, ...

George,
Please don't get caught up in this drivel. Some of us appreciate your
long and thoughtful responses. After a year of reading these posts, I
notice you put a bit of time and effort into th ...

If you review the archives, folks have been quite happy with the 'ABC's'
(Avery, Brown, Cleveland). Another to look at is PlaneTools/Isham.
Unless you want to get used and piecemeal, I would recom ...

I've been using KitLog Pro. I didn't want to spend a bunch of time to
become saavy at hosting with a custom website (nor spend the money), so
this worked out great. After 9 months of use, no probl ...

Good to know on the fuel return issue not being mandatory with some
makers - thanks for the correction. And no expensive Andair valve. There
was a thread in VAF about FI hot starts and all the tip ...

Pete,
Nice to hear - I assume you are keying in on CHT's on the Dynon to
achieve LOP. What kind of performance numbers do you get, such as fuel
burn vs speed running LOP?
Thanks,
Carl

I posted this on the RV-9 list as you posted your query there, too.
Rafael,
A couple things:
1) Regarding Vne and the O-360, it shouldn't be a big deal with the
RV-9. There are quite a few O-360 ...

Rafael,
A couple things:
1) Regarding Vne and the O-360, it shouldn't be a big deal with the
RV-9. There are quite a few O-360 powered -9's out there, and you won't
flirt with Vne in cruise. The ...

RV-9 Vne is 210 mph. Here is a link from Van's discussing Vne and
flutter - http://www.vansaircraft.com/pdf/hp_limts.pdf .

Both will give you immense joy. Last year, I pondered the same Q's. Both
have the same fuselage, but empennage and especially the wings are
different.
That being said...

RV-9 pros - Perhaps a ...

While I normally fly Pipers, I play once in awhile with a DA-20 (and
have flown the DA-40/G1000). Using the castoring nosewheel the first
time or two was awkward, but it became intuitive after a b ...

Absolutely. They are independent systems. Regarding the voltage, maybe
Andy could give the voltage specs from the ballast, since many I have
seen can accommodate a range above 24 volts. Andy - do ...
