Hi everyone. A most of you know, we have a FWF hose package for the RV14 EFii that was prototyped a while back. That prototype wasnt complete with the snorkle, that most of you know was creating some issues with the #2 cylinder oil drain. Well--turns out that the crossover hose from cylinder 1 to cylinder 2 is having some issues too.
On the prototype, its fit was just fine, but the snorkle wasnt in place. With the snorkle installed, its a completely different routing. So we have a couple of choices here. 1) would be to have the client wait until the snorkel is installed ( temporarily) to determine the best configuration for that aircraft, 2) to find a RV14 under construction within reasonable distance to go see and to a mockup, or 3) to halt those kits until we have more definate data.
I dont want to do #3, #1 may vary from plane to plane, and #2 is the more likely solution.
I spent yesterday with the staff at Synergy Air South in Newnan, Ga, settting up a RV10 SDS FWF system. This works well---LOL except the 4.5 hours drive each way. Would have stayed over, but we have this OSH thing to pack for. So---let me put this out===If there is a RV14EXP EFii builder some where in SC, GA, NC, or northern Florida that ould allow us to visit to to a mockup, please let us know. Everything else is in place for this kit. We may be able to this via email, but having eyes on target just seems to work out well---like the case with Synergy yesterday.
Let me know.
