I'm New Here
I hope to get an RV under way (soon) and want to know what everyone has done that is thinking outside the box. The ones I have heard so far:
Using an ASI instrument setup where he put the pitot and static at certain places within the engine cowling to test the cooling so he could tune his plenjm chamber.
Using automotive circuit breakers for non critical electrics.
Using a 2-blade prop to put engine in TDC and ease of construction (get the blades out of the way) of course there were other reasons.
Having 100LL in one tank for critical stages of flight and the cheaper mogas in the other tank for cruise.
What other nifty ideas have you guys come across or used in your aircraft
