Once again I was made aware of the importance of making a check flight in good conditions after any maintenance. </p><p>When taking of, the AOA warning stayed on longer than expected. I did not realize it during the flight but when reviewing the logs I can see that my airspeed indication was a little optimistic, I flew with settings that should give me 120kt IAS but it showed almost 125. When on final, I got the feeling of flying slower than shown and the AOA signal started warning me well above 75kt. I started to suspect something wrong with the static, dynamic or AOA inputs, either a loose line or that water had entered the system during the washing after the last flight. After an uneventful landing and taxi, I shut don the engine and systems and found the problem almost immediately after opening the canopy: One of the static input lines had loosened in the T-connection that splits the input from the static inputs to the G3X-GSU25 adhrs and the G5. The effect being that both the G5 and G3X system got static pressure from within the cockpit. I guess this was a good test, now I know what happens if I use the alternate static pressure valve :)</p><p>All is good now and I have just sent in the paperwork and expect to be approved for another year.</p><p><br /></p>ctrlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319060157121492797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479875719423449692.post-39068835522560269972021-09-23T22:11:00.004+02:002021-09-30T13:15:34.396+02:00Smart glide tested<p>I finally got around to make another flight to test Smart Glide. I will update this post with a video as soon as I have gotten a approval from the authorities to share this video. (it should not contain anything secret but you never know ;) )</p><p>Basically it works as advertised but I´m not so sure it is useful in most scenarios. I will use it if I have engine trouble at high altitude in IMC, for a short while, while I organize myself before manually setting up for an approach.</p><p>It has a lot of potential for improvements that could make it close to as useful as Auto Land. The system has all information needed to create and let the autopilot use a visual approach guidance to a runway threshold, using the sink rate you have programmed and accounting for wind. All the pilot would have to do then is to make a final flare :D </p><p>Updated with video:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cXUgCSp_qME" width="320" youtube-src-id="cXUgCSp_qME"></iframe></div><br /><p><br /></p>ctrlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319060157121492797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479875719423449692.post-24871955075548098742021-09-15T09:24:00.002+02:002021-09-15T09:24:28.616+02:00Smart glide.... not tested.<p>Last evening I updated the G3X Touch system and then got up for a test flight.... just to relize that I forgot to turn the feature on in the configuration.</p><p>Testing will have to wait for a while, the airport is closed in the upcoming weekend :( </p>ctrlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319060157121492797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479875719423449692.post-71303168858825743702021-08-08T11:15:00.002+02:002021-08-08T11:15:59.231+02:00Scary pre-flight finding<p>I have had the RV tied down outside on a grass field for a few days (drag racing at my home airfield).

It has creeped a bit, it should go off at 20 degrees before tdc but it was triggered at 22-23 degrees. I set it back to 20 for now. I have not seen any difference in the logs between flights directly after the last annual when I knew it was at 20 and the flights that have been flown recently. Not surprising as at all setting but full power the magneto will lag significantly behind the e-mag. </p><p>Speaking of the e-mag, a small cable that sits between two poles on the connector was broken, allowing the e-mag to use the more aggressive timing scheme.... again I have not noticed any downside to this in the logs but I fixed it as I want a greater margin and the fuel savings from the more aggressive timing is barley noticeable.</p><p>To be done FW-forward is to check&clean or exchange spark plugs, clean the air filter, perform the mag SBs and do an oil&oil filter change..</p><p>While at the front I also checked the prop, gear legs, fairings, brake lines and tires. All looked good, I plan to re-grease the wheel bearings but it might have to wait until slightly after the annual as I do not have any good lifting solutions at the hangar now.</p><p>I then removed some fairings and panels at the back. Looks great, nothing has come loose and it looks just as clean or dirty as it did during final assembly.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF43lhX6l4oKbB5zbGiQH5RewUJESHcXeDff76A9GDqRyF0o_LGDk6bSn-UQB-GMBuZugsD35M1XpeDJPg7KCH2TOd6TTeloNjOW_iuwq0wgiAG4E9cxaDbS1aV9PpbXdzKuST_kSkKBI/s2048/20210601_175609.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF43lhX6l4oKbB5zbGiQH5RewUJESHcXeDff76A9GDqRyF0o_LGDk6bSn-UQB-GMBuZugsD35M1XpeDJPg7KCH2TOd6TTeloNjOW_iuwq0wgiAG4E9cxaDbS1aV9PpbXdzKuST_kSkKBI/w400-h300/20210601_175609.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTO844Hn9EsHbqpxm6S8fxstBW-XqAvR65H6e0pqsdfvr3EN6PMAvz75f1sykKgH2MBByjytwBi_QYUjWQORROulcZbdv0_19xiRjuSI4MumQqovbLHB5-Qwjjbl64QSCE91Q6fLTbeJg/s2048/20210601_175944.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTO844Hn9EsHbqpxm6S8fxstBW-XqAvR65H6e0pqsdfvr3EN6PMAvz75f1sykKgH2MBByjytwBi_QYUjWQORROulcZbdv0_19xiRjuSI4MumQqovbLHB5-Qwjjbl64QSCE91Q6fLTbeJg/w300-h400/20210601_175944.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk6FrOimRHRMPOtGlSmm3obI9oMkUT9JttsBtyiC3b2qOBSMcPK89uJiGpjJwAx8GGbQt4vd1omX7JSphRyiBuyDDCiHyYyN8RWy6l4WRu0VlZ4HxPCBkTWak1pKVTcHRpNBma8LoY1jM/s2048/20210601_180236.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk6FrOimRHRMPOtGlSmm3obI9oMkUT9JttsBtyiC3b2qOBSMcPK89uJiGpjJwAx8GGbQt4vd1omX7JSphRyiBuyDDCiHyYyN8RWy6l4WRu0VlZ4HxPCBkTWak1pKVTcHRpNBma8LoY1jM/w400-h300/20210601_180236.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNtTJIxi4ongHHgU2HSlSkWEATfRD1C8bfE4sCVa0x1v0zDWDOhPrvbPXZw_bL6WfVZj_fjRMPRvhE4WeFjzjs6xE1iMZ3B0tho9aFF4etCgqasYKUMNCCWc48wx8xXuDswHkTbiXM77w/s2048/20210601_180245.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNtTJIxi4ongHHgU2HSlSkWEATfRD1C8bfE4sCVa0x1v0zDWDOhPrvbPXZw_bL6WfVZj_fjRMPRvhE4WeFjzjs6xE1iMZ3B0tho9aFF4etCgqasYKUMNCCWc48wx8xXuDswHkTbiXM77w/w400-h300/20210601_180245.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>ctrlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319060157121492797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479875719423449692.post-22563667793609341002021-04-02T22:10:00.004+02:002021-04-03T19:06:50.139+02:00Slow flight for max range and formation with significantly slower AC<p>There was a FB tread about formation flying and the question about an RV being able to fly around at 105kt. My responce was that lots of RV, fly at 90 +/-5 kt inbound to S&F and OSH for the fly-ins... then I realized that I have actually not done it myself yet for more than during downwind.</p><p>So off I went and first I did some fligt at low setting without any flap, at just below 120kt you can get a really good economy as shown in this picture (usable fuel in my RV is about 192-194L): </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1hP7mIqv5gve4S79kX6uMNIDyPg5DqGdCRW_MlNkTuDkJemUFPi2ng8WBf2wBnUtnbrrwyvd4AyzqIb-1DFIalVuSPCoXA4W6XTqwC_rujXvrQ_4HRc8Q7Sjycm4c_l3MzJQlvJ9_vAs/s800/2523.bmp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="480" height="490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1hP7mIqv5gve4S79kX6uMNIDyPg5DqGdCRW_MlNkTuDkJemUFPi2ng8WBf2wBnUtnbrrwyvd4AyzqIb-1DFIalVuSPCoXA4W6XTqwC_rujXvrQ_4HRc8Q7Sjycm4c_l3MzJQlvJ9_vAs/w294-h490/2523.bmp" width="294" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Next up was flying at 90kt, it is acually a lot of work since it is on the backside of the power curve. It was a little gusty and any wind that got me off the 90 setting would make the deviation continue to grow until I corrected. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Below is one reasonably stable power setting that with a small amount of flap kept me a 90kt, but if the wind pushed me to 92, the speed would continue to increase with the AP holding altitude and if the speed dropped tp 88, it would continue down in the same way.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ-WqGjHMJr3pd2DE_fnGo6L2DFTt_1SEgngg2PUnC8ceqOgpZpGTC0nCjsaRYrD-HhZ4bxMT7i3FuAkXlLa2GpqT5Yh9OzMoiB-24QvHEmMnDR-cQHaJotY2qMz4-ASy8mzaOEBBsbFc/s800/3210.bmp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="480" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ-WqGjHMJr3pd2DE_fnGo6L2DFTt_1SEgngg2PUnC8ceqOgpZpGTC0nCjsaRYrD-HhZ4bxMT7i3FuAkXlLa2GpqT5Yh9OzMoiB-24QvHEmMnDR-cQHaJotY2qMz4-ASy8mzaOEBBsbFc/w291-h484/3210.bmp" width="291" /></a></div>My conclusion it therefore that any speed below about 95kt requires constant monitoring and regurlar adjustment from the pilot in my RV. At speeds of 100kt or above it is easy to find a setting that will allow the autopilot to fly for you and the speed will bounce back to that set speed as long as thermals and winds are reasonable.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><p></p><p><br /></p>ctrlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319060157121492797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479875719423449692.post-7851709015782122232021-03-13T10:11:00.000+01:002021-03-13T10:11:40.166+01:00Avance between sunset and end of civil twilight<p> Did the rolls with slightly slower speed than before, still plenty off roll-rate :)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yDCP_97fjFA" width="320" youtube-src-id="yDCP_97fjFA"></iframe></div><br /><p><br /></p>ctrlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319060157121492797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479875719423449692.post-45570109200454190842021-03-06T20:04:00.002+01:002021-03-06T20:04:42.411+01:00The most windy/gusty landing so far but unfourtenatly without the camera active<p>Flew home to ESSU this afternoon, according to Windy.com, the wind at the surface was 13G30kt basically straight from side.

Hassle free and nothing special to report. At that time I had not yet received new oil filters so that had to wait.</p><p><br /></p><p>Last night I got around to changing the oil filter. Temperature was just below freezing inside the hangar, the cold temperature is actually helping when exchanging the filter as the slow flowing oil makes it easier to change the filter without getting a lot of oil splilled out in the engine room. I also used the good tip of first loosening up the filter and then wrapping the filer with a plastic bag before completly removing it. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgURVvFqYHKsbdiNfDB3Rl32ccCLmiCCPbd6Uzb5DPdeoPtz60JAvGZnmFF3JyZr4vGhlurZA33pMThSrGXqoinIsYgILbfAzL12_rH8EBEDI8yjZgJEviFErFDOs2WJf0kDXozV_4V2Ps/s2048/20210113_190543.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgURVvFqYHKsbdiNfDB3Rl32ccCLmiCCPbd6Uzb5DPdeoPtz60JAvGZnmFF3JyZr4vGhlurZA33pMThSrGXqoinIsYgILbfAzL12_rH8EBEDI8yjZgJEviFErFDOs2WJf0kDXozV_4V2Ps/w640-h480/20210113_190543.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh08TMm7lRVhsgsDFf3YvKvDOALhzYSMhveYrhKp5jFqGUeHh9C9jtDaSnmGUMaT679o_lmkr5hW-DdSZibynM75HSWwpvdGQHQYwy7oLK40VWf7ogVz_QQeYPc9UCKX8mF03k9wrjcqFs/s2048/20210113_190647.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh08TMm7lRVhsgsDFf3YvKvDOALhzYSMhveYrhKp5jFqGUeHh9C9jtDaSnmGUMaT679o_lmkr5hW-DdSZibynM75HSWwpvdGQHQYwy7oLK40VWf7ogVz_QQeYPc9UCKX8mF03k9wrjcqFs/w640-h480/20210113_190647.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now the engine awaits the next flight with a new filter and Phillips 66 X/C 20W-50 oil in the sump.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Today I received an extension cord making it a lot easier to use the engine heater before flight. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> <p></p>ctrlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319060157121492797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479875719423449692.post-41503692265346415452020-12-31T16:23:00.006+01:002020-12-31T16:23:57.676+01:00Radio flight tested OK :D<p> Finally some good (well not good but in an IFR capable machine there was plenty of room for worse without affecting saftey).</p><p>Needed to set the intercom squelch level to the max 30 setting to keep the mics from staying open.
