Updated: Apr-04 Hometown: Redding, CA Aircraft: RV-7 Engine: Renisis Turbo:N Plugs:Standard EFI:RWS PRSU:RWD RD1-C Stage of Development/Hours Flown:Developing FF installation Completion Year: Comments:Ten years ago I built an RV-6 and flew it for 260 hrs. For the last year I have been building a RV-7A incorporating what I liked and changing what I disliked in my 6. I changed to a nose wheel, tip up canopy, 56 gal. fuel capacity and a medium gray canopy. I kept: flying from the right, infinity grips and a few others thingsI can't remember. I ardently wish to change from the Lycoming O-360 to a less expensive, smoother, more powerful and more dependable engine.

I'm going through the process of trying to pick the right prop (size and pitch). It sure would be valuable to learn what others are using and what kind of climb, cruise and Vmax that they are getting. Unfortunately there are very fiew Glastars on the list so the information won't be available for me but down the road it could be useful to others as the imformation gets compiled

Turbo:no Plugs:Standard EFI:RWS PRSU:RWS Stage of Development/Hours Flown:Designing the whole plane and powerplant system pretty much concurrently so that everything will work together. Completion Year:?? Comments:No website yet. Will be using Harry Riblett's GA37A215 airfoil. Just like the Navy and the airlines, I will have an AoA indicator. Will have a very sticky (no bounce), trailing-link main gears using dune buggy type shock struts. Will have Grumman (Wildcat, Hellcat, Hawkeye)style folding wings. I've designed and will soon be welding a 321 SS exhaust manifold/swirly whirly muffler assembly that I believe will tame the noise. It will probably need a secondary downstream muffler. I am determined to get this thing to be quiet as a mouse. My philosophy is to to kill the noise as close to the source as possible. With all this talk about cooling problems, I'm taking my cooling problems elsewhere, so the radiator will be located under the rear seat like the P-51. Not quite sure where the oil cooler will be just yet. The cowling will be very low profile. I'm building a 1/10 scale 3D model to visualize just how everything will fit together. Currently evaluating the feasibility of using epoxy/sealant bonding of all secondary airframe structures.
