Starting on converting my RV4 to a C/S prop.
Currently have a Paul Irbeck wood prop, very nice prop going to hang it in my office!
New prop is a Whirl Wind Aviation RV200 swept tip.
Engine is a O-360-C2E.
Read through these links:
Brantel's excellent thread on his CS conv.
Lycoming SI1435
Tool for setting rear crank plug
First step was to make sure the engine could be converted.
Started looking at the TCDS to see this tracked back to a A1A which is a C/S engine. Next I tracked down the IPC and validated the C2E had the correct crank, bearing and acc. case.
Looked doable so off we go.
Tracked down a prop gov. adaptor, hard line and fittings needed.
Order the new plug + a spare for the back of the crank.
Plus the various nuts, bolts and gaskets.
