Yes and the G3X the same, I just watch the ForeFlight video and it made me think of this thread, very useful if one does not have the luxury of either G3X or Dynon but has the Ipad handy.

Has anyone herd why this engine produced metal shavings?

Engine shutdown
Not a fan of engine shutdown, aircooled cylinders
getting colder then quick start up and wonder why my pistons and cylinders are scuffed up, mmmmm? |
Shutdown
And I know this is an old post, but you
should never stop being congratulated on a successful emergency landing that you or your crew can walk away from. Well done! |
I own this plane now.
Absolutely Love it. I'd post some pictures but have no idea how to do it, most forums just let you attach from pics on the computer, not this one. [ed. Congrats on your RV’s return to the skies and thanks for closing the loop on this. RE: the images, if you can fly a plane you can easily insert pics. The instructions are linked at the top left of every page in the forums and can be accessed directly here: http://www.vansairforce.net/articles...ums/images.htm. I see you have a low post count, so you may not have been aware of the link. v/r,dr] |
good to hear you are ok
Sorry you had issues but really glad you were able to save yourself and the airplane. Will be interested also in the engine analysis. I am an hour away if you need any help with anything.

N46BV is alive and well
Thanks for the link and advise for uploading my photos.
I purchased this RV-8 last fall, from a guy who purchased it from the owner/builder, Bill Anton who had the forced landing. The guy I bought it from only had it for about a month, he told me that he mentioned to his wife that the plane scared him a bit and she said something like 'I'm not getting in it at all", as soon as I saw it on Tradaplane I called him about it. I don't know the final results on why the original engine failed, but Bill installed a brand new Lycoming Thunderbolt IO-360 and now I have a great plane with 300 hrs. on the engine. I purchased 2 Aerovonics AV-30's, Trio EZ pilot and Flyleds landing/taxi lights I hope to get all installed next month. I did my transitional training with Bruce Bohannon, awesome guy! I also removed the chains and installed the steering linkage bar, a massive improvement as far as I'm concerned, a whole different animal on the ground. Here goes with the pics. Brian |
