Bud Warren's LS1/Geared Drives
PSRU firewall forward package for the RV-10 is nearing
completion for presentation at Sun n Fun Airshow in
Lakeland, Florida April 8-13, 2008. (recent
photos attached) This package includes custom wiring
harness, custom programmed ECM, engine mount for RV-10,
fiberglass blister kit to modify the stock RV-10
cowlings, and much more.
Bud will be running this engine/PSRU
package complete with prop and governor at Sun n Fun on
a test stand which will be located at the engine demo
area. Attendees will be able to watch as the unit
operates while at low engine RPMs, increase RPMs on up
to idle, at cruise and takeoff RPMs, and watch as the
prop is cycled right before your eyes. Of course, the
PSRU has its own oil pump which constantly force
lubricates all the PSRU components, the propeller and
the prop governor with 60 PSI. The incredible
smoothness of operation and the sound is really
something to witness.
Did I mention that you can use ANY
prop you want with this PSRU?
Bud will be speaking at the auto
engine forums as well, and his booth can be found in the
outside North exhibits area, in booth #52, near where he
was located last year.
For more information on the Forum
schedule, log on to

It may take a bit longer for the Forum Schedules to post
on their website.
See you at
Lakeland!

Just another Saturday
at CXO.
Our members are busy Designing, Building, Restoring and in
some case Repairing..... Did some one say there was a Hawker
on the downwind or a Hawk.... (RV 1 vs. Hawk 0) First class
engineering and a rugged design proved too much for one hawk
who became air kill. But not before entering the leading
edge of the wing for onboard storage. Who would have thought to add bird
storage to an RV? Floats, Ski's, but down here in Texas we
take bringing home dinner to new heights. (pun intended)
If
you are interested in wood, metal or glass construction we have a member who
has been there and done that. Come join us at our next
meeting or just stop in and have a look around the open
hangers for folks who are just plane crazy!
