Prop Balancing the RV-9A with a DynaVibe GX3 - Long Version

    Somebody posted on vansairforce (I think) that they lost their plane when they couldn't find the boost pump in a hurry. The ideal spot is at the end of the row of switches, where you can find it by location, label, and in your case, color. After all, you're unlikely to need lights in an emergency. Sorry to be a downer, but...

  • @davidforgerson5647
    @davidforgerson5647 Před 20 dny

    The engine was vibrating. You added some weights near the prop, and the amount of vibration was reduced. You don't really know that the prop was out of balance. The prop could be perfectly balanced. Maybe the engine is "out of balance". Adding some weight in the right spot near the prop could just be countering some sort of engine imbalance/vibration. It seems like you should start by taking off the prop and running the test. Almost certainly the four cylinders are not perfectly balanced. One cylinder is almost certainly a little stronger than the rest, and one cylinder is almost certainly a little weaker than the rest. A little more or a little less fuel. Timing slightly off. Dirty spark plug. Try disconnecting one of the spark plugs (not both) to one of the cylinders and see what happens to the vibration. I would be very interested in hearing your comments on this.

    • @davidforgerson5647

      What other things do you do to make sure that everything is running as smoothly as possible? Do you make sure that your EGTs all peak at exactly the same time? Do you have a Thunderbolt engine? Thunderbolt engines are supposed to run more smoothly. Do they actually? What does Lycoming do to make a Thunderbolt engine run more smoothly? I think that this would make an interesting topic for a CZcams video -- how to optimize everything.

    • @BuildFlyGo
      @BuildFlyGo Před 5 měsíci

      Worth a try. The friction issue I've noticed is with the individual bolt not staying straight and "torquing" back when you put pressure on the pedals. The single bolt is an easy, reasonably inexpensive fix to this. That being said, I don't notice the issue on the -9, but already had the bolts so figured "why not".
