 Posted: Sun Sep 04, 2011 5:38 pm Post subject: Prop and Spinner fit & move to paint shop |
 |
|
Fellow builders,
Two items to share: Working on the spinner fit this weekend and was wondering how to do the cut-outs for the prop blades so as to account for the fine and course pitch setting. Didn’t see anything useful in the plans, just a note to ensure to leave room when making the cut-out. The blades move via oil pressure from the governor, so why not a little air pressure, seems like it should work. Well sure enough, only about 25 psi does the trick and the blades go to full course pitch. So I machined up a nice adapter plate to get the job done. See attached photos. I’m going to make this adapter plate available to the RV-10 list folks on the loaner program. I’ll be done with it after this weekend and will ship it to whomever needs it next, I just ask that you pay for shipping.
On a second topic, Monday was a big day here, after almost 8 years of super slow building I’m running out of parts! N541RV has moved to the paint shop! Lancaster Aero Refinshers in Smoketown PA now has my plane [img]cid:159E999E758E48518895F5393E331025(at)Boblaptop[/img]. The paint scheme is agreed to and the test panel of paint have been shot.

That is handy when you are alone. The wife and I used two
wood clamps with a rag protecting the paint. Worked like a charm.
There is around 325 psi gov oil pres in normal operation so those aerodynamic loads are powerful. Nice to know information and nice tool. Thanks.
Just about ready to trim the baffling. That is one crazy setup on those ramps!
Have fun on those filler plates. Oh, I did not check runout on the spinner. Does anyone since it is not in the plans? My wife can let me know when I do the first start.
