Yeah, yeah. Please note that personal attacks are generally not acceptable.

Hey Dan, I would have figured the post was pointed in a different direction....
But hey, what do Lower Slobovians know?

Kinda hard to post on a public forum asking what others think, then get mad when people give you well reasoned input with examples. I for one appreciate the discussion and think it should be perpetually available for future builders.

Comments even constructive critical ones have always been welcome. But there is no excuse for comments that are demeaning. To put this another way, most people can be constructive even in critque without feeling the need to be parental or rude.

Let's hope future comments are in the spirit that is so we'll stated by Bob Collins in his open letter on the VAF rules page.

If you have not read it please do so and use it as the VAF leadership has requested.

Charlie.

I see no personal attack, only the definition of a word.

If, however, you feel it applies, consider it ?legitimate commentary?...

Make it a great day.

Attached is a pic of the new adapter I had made up that repositioned the TB so it will fill well in the cowl. There were several factors that caused me to chose this. One being the location of the exit of the turbo, second my desire to try to get "straight on" air flow to the intercooler, and of course the challenge of obtaining a smooth travel for the throttle cable. Given these factors this seemed to be the best choice.

I really enjoy following your progress. You get a lot done in short order. It's amassing what people accomplish these days. When I was a kid the talk of the neighborhood was a guy building a row boat in his basement.

Keep up excellent work. Hope to see you flying soon...

Jim,

Thanks. It is a labor of love for sure. Your signature line shows you have a lot of experience and my hat is off to you! Truthfully my day job really gets in the way but fortunately I retire soon, and then I plan to burn the midnight oil.

The honda on an RV6A airframe is certainly not for everyone, but I enjoy it and I am optimistic that it will work out. What is most value to me has been those who have forged the path before me by installing an alternative engine in a plane and seeing it fly. I have learned a lot from those who are willing to share their success and failures (which is really hard for some people for obvious reasons).

Glad there are a few out there who enjoy what is happening here.

Good flying to you.

Charlie

I'm doing my annual now and will also install my twin Shorai batteries while I have it all apart.

I measured my oil cooler and it's about 8 X 8 X 2 inches.
I also use a Mocal oil thermostat to feed or bypass the cooler. Helps with the warmup in cooler weather.
