  There is no oil pressure against the seal. If there was any crankcase pressure, that would be all there is.

  Apologies for the comment I inadvertently deleted. The aircraft spruce part number for the heat barrier is 08-00600. It is $27.50. Vic used 4 for the lower cowl on the RV-10.

  Maybe it’s just an artifact of the video, but how did the inside of your cowling get its copper color?

• 
  @baselegaviation161415 күн бұрын

  I think it just the lighting coupled with a bit of red paint overspray.

• 
  @dermick16 күн бұрын

  Very good advice, as usual. I got exactly what Vic describes, some blistering on the paint. I added some heat shields on all the exhaust pipes that are anywhere near the cowl - seems to have helped. Adding the layer of aluminum shielding on the cowl looks like a good idea as well!

  Do you remove the jumper from the ignition switch if you swap the NON-impulse coupled mag out for a P-mag? Ie: I have a standard mag with impulse coupler on Left, and installing a P-Mag on Right.

• 
  @joesmythe823216 күн бұрын

  Disregard - I’ve found in the e-Mag instructions that you DO need to remove the jumper in the ignition switch.

  How about using Fiberfrax? Less weight, thinner so it will form to the shape of the cowling and a good heat insulator.

  The biggest problem with worm style hose clamps is everyone wants to overtighten them. This damages the hose, makes it less resilient and then the clamps tend to loosen over time. A properly tightened screw style hose clamp will work as well as any other clamp and last a long time and can be removed and replaced in the field with common hand tools. Either use a torque wrench on the hose clamp, which nobody does, or tighten until the clamp ring is just flush with the hose surface or a little less. I often will use a torque wrench when using a new style clamp or a new style hose and see how much the clamp compresses the hose. Once I know that, I can then tighten with a nut driver or screw driver and be pretty close to correct without the need to use a torque wrench.

  Could you plz make a video removing and inspecting the fuel inlet filter of the carburetor.

• 
  @baselegaviation161417 күн бұрын

  will try to do that but it might be a while. there’s a picture of it on page 64 of my maintenance book. Just disconnect the fuel inlet line to the carb a then unscrew the remaining fitting and the filter will come right out.

  Thanks Vic. I noticed you mentioned the constant pressure clamp on the intake hose but not on the valve oil return hose. Was there a reason for this? I recently replaced my valve oil return hoses and put a constant pressure (spring) clamp on instead and it is sealed a lot better now.

• 
  @baselegaviation161418 күн бұрын

  I haven’t had as much luck with them on the return lines. I tried them on the helicopter with worm clamps on one side and he clamps on the other and the clamps leaked a little, much to my surprise.

  I still have some confusion about this. If the pitch stop is designed to prevent excess RPM then why would the governor come into play to keep RPM below 2700?

• 
  @baselegaviation1614Ай бұрын

  You want to keep the prop from overspeeding at full throttle, such as during climb. Basically, you set it up to act as a fixed pitch prop and then let the governor take over at 2700-2720 RPM's. IF you have the governor taking over too early, then if the governor should fail, you will have a massive overspeed, sometimes necessitating a tear down of the prop.

• 
  @restorefreespeech28 күн бұрын

  ​@baselegaviation1614 so the pitch stop is adjusted for static run up, and the governor for in motion. I think

  I don’t think I would do an overhaul… Do an IRAN or reseal, but a full on overhaul where they grind the blades isn’t necessary and takes life out of the prop..any thoughts on that?

  they don’t necessarily grind the blades. it depends upon condition of the blades. we’ve seen too many blade roots scored to not do an overhaul.
