Status Report: Rv-12David
One more big event this week. Cleco’d on the tailcone for the first time. I wanted to get the rudder cables attached to the rudder pedal assembly. There’s beginning to be a lot of stuff in and around the tunnel so good to get it done before access gets any harder.
It’s motivating to se the fuse in one piece but just clecos for now. I plan to separate things again when the avionics arrive. It’s very reassuring to know it fits!

This took way longer than I thought it should. I added an inspection window I saw on another builders project.
Stuck Valve Input …DanH
Unless I missed it, so far, at 160 posts, no one with consistent long term 15W-50 Aeroshell use has reported a stuck valve.
Partial or full synthetic is the lube industry's standard response to high temperature coking, as synthetics exhibit greater resistance to thermal breakdown. 15W-50 Aeroshell is currently the only approved piston oil with a significant synthetic content.

Irv’s RV-7A journey
I started my build when I lived in a real house in W Massachusetts. I had an actual walk out basement that I turned into my shop. Actually it was a great motivation to finally clean, purge, and organize it. I built my empenage down there in about 9 months. Hiccup. My wife and I decided to move...

Sticky valve on a Thunderbolt IO390
To those who have completed SI 1425A, did you have to drop the exhaust to help re-insert the valve, or were you able to work through the spark plug holes, with a pickup tool? Also, to those who have used a magnet to help guide the valve back in, will a 1/2" magnet work, or does it have to be...
