Subject: Request for Info

Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2006 08:19:53 -0800 (PST)






Hi Folks,



   I recently posted a request for info from listers with flying  RV7, 

RV7a, RV9, RV9a, who had a specific engine/cowl/induction/prop 

configuration.  I received little in the way of response--probably because 

the con fig I have is somewhat unique. I am making another request for data 

which will apply to a much larger group.



   I  am working on a performance issue and would like to have comparative 

data.  The data, based on some postings by folks who obviously have a  much 

greater knowledge on engine inductions than do I, will tell us something 

about the average efficiency of our induction systems.  If I get a good 

response I will compile the data and post it to this site -- it would 

therefore be helpful in evaluating the performance of our individual 

systems against a group average.



   The sample data should come from either nose gear or tail wheel flying 

RV 6-7-9s equiped  with Vans cowl and FAB induction system and carburated 

0360s or 0320s running a fixed pitch propeller. You will also need both rpm 

and mp gages.



   The data necessary for the analysis is as follows:



   1. mp indicated on engine gage prior to engine start

   2.  line up on runway prior to t/o and hold brakes, wot, and note mp and 

static rpm

   3.  just at lift off note mp and rpm

   4.  mp and rpm at 100-400 ft agl.--watch for traffic!!



   Please note in your response whether you have the 0360 or 0320 engine 

and the type of engine gages (Vans, AF2500, etc)



   Your help is greatly appreciated and maybe we can all learn more about 

the performance of our RVs.



   Please respond to:

   Cheers,

Sounds good to me- beat the airshow rush...  It's a big place- somebody make 

a sign and stick it on the end of a table?

How about Thursday or Friday for those of us who can not be there for the

whole week.  I will be there then as I can get away from work for these

two days.   Us working stiffs sure have it tough!!

Just a suggestion:  Each person bring a "RV" sign to the designated area 

(or table even, if that's possible) that will sit on the table ..... the 

second person on will be able to find the 'group'.  Or, you could plant 

a sign on the grass and gather there.  It's the same problem for every 

group that wants to get together for lunch or dinner.  Sorry, looking 

for the "RV GRIN" won't work too well, since everyones got a grin for 

some reason or another!!

A technique that worked well a couple of years ago was to meet at Van's 

tent at a designated time (Thanks, Bernie) & then head for the food as a 

group.

FWIW...
