 Posted: Sun Apr 27, 2008 4:01 am Post subject: IO 360 and Garmin 296 |
 |
|
For the IO-360 roller tappet discussion I think the reason that it has
become difficult to get an engine with out roller tappets is that the
standard flat face tappets are usually the first place that you get
spaulling in this engine from downtime; the roller tappets get rid of
this weak point. I bought my engine before thielert bought superior
and the roller tappets were a $5000 upgrade, now the cost is much less
and I'm really bummed that I don't have them.
I got my XP-360 from Aero engines of Winchester. I paid ~$3000 less
than the list for an XP-360 and Tom doesn't charge an extra $1500 to
come help build the engine. Every time I've got an engine question he
is there for me too. I showed up at 8 am and left at 6 PM with a
brand new engine.

For the Garmin 296 question, I've had really good luck emailing George
Koelsch, George.Koelsch(at)garmin.com with my tech questions. He's
pretty good about getting that sort of thing squared away.

Subject: Re: Current crop of pitot tubes
Before I make my two suggestions here is why you should not install one.
Deviation for Vans plans will add weight, cost and build time. Yes you are right
you don't need a heated pitot as a VFR pilot. In fact you don't need one for
an IFR plane either (please read the regs before you dispute this). As a pilot
with over 12,000 hrs and many 1000's of yours in IMC you can't get icing unless
you are in cloud or in freezing precipitation and the temp is below freezing.
Very simple no mosture no ice. No freezing or sub-freezing temp no ice.
Avoid one or both no ice. So you get into icing in your IFR RV-10 when you get
your rating. FIRST you should have your ticket taken back since you should NOT
be in icing. You have no business being in it, and if you wounder into it,
you should get out of it ASAP, climb, descend or 180 degree. If you collect ice
on your airframe that you see, you are in icing conditions and now have violated
FAR's and also common sense. My point is do you really need a heated pitot?
No. Run some wires out there, but leave it off.
So what if you pitot gets blocked, you loose what airspeed? Well you have GPS
ground speed. However some "experimental EFIS" do use airspeed or change in airspeed
(ie acceleration) to resolve some accelerometer error. Even still they
work with out airspeed I am told (Dynon).
If you must have a heated pitot, Dynon makes one for their EFIS with AOA.
http://www.dynonavionics.com/docs/D180_Feature_AOA.html
And these guys make a heated version for experimental's:
http://www.gretzaero.com/
They both have some interesting temp control deal which is nice to keep from
burning it out if you leave it on. Your other choice is ACS or some salvage yard
Cessna or Piper heated pitot, which are old and tired.
Bottom line its going to be about $500 of STUFF sitting out on your wing when
you get it all wired with CB and a few pounds more.

Subject: Current crop of pitot tubes
Hi all. I'm working on an RV-10 and am at the point now of
considering what kind of pitot tube to put in the thing. The bent
aluminum tube idea, though functional, doesn't really appeal to me.
Though I'm not an IFR pilot at the moment, I don't intend to remain
that way indefinitely, and I'd like to future-proof the plane as much
as practical. So I'm looking at putting in a heated pitot. Up until
now I've been assuming I'd go with a Gretz pitot - I like the idea of
its internal temperature regulation rather than just running at
maximum current draw the whole time it's on. But of course now that
I'm actually ready to get one it appears as though they're not
currently being manufactured and I haven't found anywhere that has
them in stock.
So what other options could anyone out there suggest?
Thanks!

Subject: RE: Re: Current crop of pitot tubes
George,
I almost really hate to post this considering all things but I cannot agree
with your assessment in whole. I also am an IFR pilot and you are right
but. You cannot always guarantee you will not be in ice just because you
don't want to. I have flown into clouds on an IFR flight plan with no
expected icing. I did not have icing equipment but flew right into an ice
situation where it built up very quickly and then quit (about 15 seconds).
I had two choices: either turn around and fly back through it or keep going
and hope to avoid any more. With ice on the prop, wings, pitot, and
windscreen I had a big problem. I was flying a C170 B with the 180 HP
engine and constant speed prop. I was thankful to have the big engine
because I lost 500 feet altitude (was given lower by ATC) and was still
flying at very low airspeed. If I remember right I was pitched up to about
75 MPH just to maintain my altitude. Thankfully I did have a heated pitot
because my airspeed indication was critical. It was one thing I badly
needed and thankfully had.
After crossing the Big Bear mountains, I was given a descent into the palm
springs area. Even well after getting out of the clouds I was IFR due to
the ice on the windscreen. It shed off much later as I got down below
4000'. The short of this is, if one is going to fly IFR, whether required
or not and even if not expected to get into ice, a heated pitot is a smart
choice. I have the Gretz in my RV-6.
Call me stupid if you want, but I was really glad I had it, and never
intended to experience the opportunity to need it.

Subject: IO 360
Hi builders,
I could use a little help on engines:
I have started looking for a new engine an I must admit I have sticker
shock. As near as I can tell a new IO 360 M1B type engine from any of the
major experimental builder will cost 22-29K depending on options. SO is
there another way. I was hoping for something more like 18K which is what it
was when I first started doing my project. Since I have the finishing kit
for horizontal induction, I will need to go that way or change the lower
cowl. I'm afraid this may have limited my options. (done before realizing
the issue)
ALso a few questions:
1. ECI solid tappets vs Superior rollor tappets, is this worth $2K?
2. Dual Slicks vs one Slick and one Pmag $500 + or - a little,
thoughts?
3. Horioztal induction, will I save money by going vertical, it seems
if I do change the cowl I will save 1K on the engine, but have to spend $500
on a new lower cowl
Currently I am thiking of an ECI engine from Aerosport but that will come in
a 23K to 24K and is solid lifters. Any thoughts or help is appreciated.

There are a few too many absolutes in your post. For a/c not certified for
"known icing", unexpectedly encountering icing is not a FAR violation - it
is however a dangerous situation. FAR's prohibit intentional flight into
"known icing".
Having a heated pitot in my PA28 or my in -10 (still in pieces) does not
mean that I intend to get into an icing situation. It does mean that I am
taking reasonable safety precautions to help me manage the situation in the
unlikely event that it does happen. This same attitude means that I would
not buy a car without airbags even though I do not intend to get into an
accident.
I am sure that in your 12k hours, you have seen more than a few situations
where reality has not matched the forecast. Being prepared for the
unexpected is just good common sense.
Cheers
Les

From: "Leland Collins" <federigo(at)pacbell.net>
[quote="Leland Collins"]I've had the same problem with my 4-year old Garmin 296 being unable to lock onto satellites after loosing its internal date. I think its a dead battery problem because the battery looses about 20% of its charge overnight. I just ordered a new battery from www.batteriesamerica.com for $59 plus $11 shipping. Garmin supposedly now has the part number 010-10517-01 as a replacement for the original 011-00955-00 unit. The replacement part has a larger capacity rating. The replacement unit is the same for the 396 and 496.
Leland |
I changed the main battery and the problem is still there. If I do not fly the
plane for several days, the unit stops tracking the date/time. Now the question
is: Is it possible to change the "time" battery without sending it to Garmin?

No IO-360 uses solid lifters. I'm sure you meant hydraulic lifters with
flat faces, as opposed to roller tip lifters that Lyc introduced a few
years ago. There is no power benefit from Pmag so why spend the money?

Call Garmin first and let them take you through the troubleshooting steps.
There is a memory corruption issue that causes the same symptoms. If they
can confirm the real time clock battery really is bad, they might replace
it.
