The air inlet rings look small but, they provide plenty of air to cool the cylinders in flight and on the ground.
The air induction into the FI servo is fitted with a K&N filter.
The plenum took almost 35 hours to complete but the benefits were; CHT down
to 430 degrees on the first flight of my new ECI engine in Phoenix OAT 95
degrees. When the rings seated, about 2 hours later, the CHT went down to 360
degrees.
This is the final paint job done by Steve Hayes owner of AZ Aerografix.
Steve Hayes is pictured with my fuselage before he applied the acid wash and alodine.
The wing tips were the first parts painted the new color.
The instrument panel and all wiring is finally finished. The only thing left
to do is a few labels. The ACS engine monitor was a piece of cake to install
with the module mounted directly behind the monitor screen.
This is the Approach Systems Avionics hub that I installed. Approach Systems has a form on their web site you can fill out with all the information about the equipment you are installing and they make all the cables. All you need to do is mount the hub and route the cables to your radios and connect the power and ground wires..
I installed my hub between the sub panel and firewall on the left rib in a place that I can reach from under the instrument panel so I can install cables for my Garmin 430 when I can afford it.
Ignition leads coming through the fire wall. They will go to the halls effect units that mount in the accessories case where the mags usually go.
My brother-in-law Frank Beal was visiting so I put him to work.
Canopy is nearly finished.
This is a good location for the new ACS engine monitor control module. I can remove the monitor screen to give access through the instrument panel to hook up wires, if need be, after I permanently install the instrument panel. The ACS is very easy to install, much more so than the RMI that I used on my last RV6A project.
Flap position indicator sending unit. The is the only thing that did not come with the ACS Engine Monitor. Everything else needed came with it.
The RV6A I bought came from Texas and had been shipped in July 2000. The former owner worked on it about 20 hours and did not have time to work as much as he wanted and decided to sell it. I picked it up in September 2002 and brought it back to AZ. The kit was shipped as an RV6A but I made the changes per the plans and converted it to a RV6. It took about 25 hours to remove the F611 and F612 and install the new bulkheads, longer bars and weldment for the tailwheel.
I have also changed from a slider to a tip up which has taken about 20 hours. In it's present state it can be a RV6A or RV6 as the main gear mounts are already drilled to match the wing spar and I have not yet ordered the finishing kit.
Vents were revited with blue RTV used as a gasket.
Cabin roll frame installed.
I added a bracket to hold a half inch tube to be used as a clothes hangar.
