Bill Brady sent me about 100 photos of various Rebels recently, both
completed, and during construction. I have been scanning these and
uploading them to my FTP site. I should have the last of them done
tomorrow.

Thanks Bill for all the great photos. Once again, to see these and other
photos, go to ftp://ftp.dcsol.com/murphy-rebel, this ftp site is open to
upload photos if you are familiar with ftp, otherwise just e-mail them to
mike.davis@dcsol.com. Or, you can send me photos and I will scan them and
return them to you.

Mike

What is your e-mail, so that I can send some photos of the WD prop delamination?

My address is mike.davis@dcsol.com

but anybody can now upload pictures to the site without having to know how
to use FTP like the old site. Just click on File Libraries on the new site,
then click on Upload... fill in the descriptions, click the browse button to
find the file on your system (just like you were going to attach it to a
message), select which file area you want to put it in, and your done.

Hey Rick D.,

Both the oil cooler and duct, and the oil filter mounting look very
nice. Any chance you could post or send me a photo of the very lower
part of your firewall to include your gas-collator, assuming that it
is installed there someplace?

TIA.
Take care. Best to You in 2003.

Brian Lawson,
Windsor, Ontario.

Brian,
I can do that for you but it will take a few days because you cannot see
much in that area with the engine installed. The gascolator and the engine
control cables (throttle, mixture and carb heat) were more involved than I
had hoped and it takes quite a bit of bending to get the cables installed and
lined up with their respective levers. The cabin heat box supplied by MAM did
not fit well in my installation. A square box style was what I ended up with.
It is mounted just about in the middle of the firewall. It takes heat in on
the left side and dumps it out on the right via a scat hose. A cable operates
a stainless steel door providing heat into the cabin. Over the next few days
I hope to remove the engine and crank on all of the pipe fittings for the oil
lines and install the 1.4" B&C spacer that arrived today. I've perfected
installing the engine and I use some cheap bolts to do the dummy
installations. It takes me about 20 minutes to install the engine and the 4
bolts. I still need to make the engine baffles and I am beginning these now.
Also, now that I have installed my 60 amp B&C alternator and starter and know
that they clear the cowling I believe that I will be able to reduce my prop
spacer from 2" to 1.5" as my cowl is mounted with about 1 1/4" between the
cowl and spinner backplate. That's all for now.
Good luck, you'll need it,
Rick D.

Rick,

I was able to use a 1 1/2" prop spacer with the Rebel speed cowl and Sensenich prop so I don't believe you will have a problem there. I did it just to improve my empty C of G (Every little bit helps) which ended up at 9.75. This is for an 0320 E2D 150 HP Lycoming with the battery mounted in the tail cone just forward of the elevator pulleys. I have plenty of up elevator and flare and forward loaded C&G landings.

Hey again Rick,

Great! I look forward to seeing them. No rush. Give me a shout
when you do though, please.

We're having some conflicts about what and where for a number of
items. We're building our Rebel as an EAA Chapter 185 club project,
so lots of these little decisions turn out to be sort of major as its
a "committee" type thing. Right now the gas-collator is mounted at
the port side of the firewall proper, above the engine mount attach,
way too high up in my opinion, but the others said there was no way we
could put it low and centred due to the engine cables you mention and
that if we did it wouldn't be reachable for draining on pre-flight.

Your cabin heat comment scares me too, so I'll have a good look at the
placement we have now.

We've got what I understand is referred to as the "speed cowl". Just
an upper and lower fibre-glass arrangement, so I don't know about the
prop clearance. And I haven't looked at the prop spacer relationship
to the cowl yet. Maybe just cut down the spacer we have if it's too
deep.

We also have to get and do the oil filter and attach and plumbing, and
we have just decided on and purchased an oil cooler, so all the stuff
you've done is pertinent for me.

Brian.

Hi Bruce

Is your firewall cut back or not? I am also at the point of thinking where to put the battery.

Thanks

Chuck,

My firewall is not cut back.

John, I'm sure you know who you are... first, you get to the photo sections
by logging into the archive site... see the link at the bottom of every
message. At the top of the web page once you're logged in, you can click on
"Files" for the photo areas, or "Mail" for the list message archvies.

Second... this is for everyone again, please include your e-mail address if
you send me a question while logged into the archive site using the generic
"rebel/builder" login... I can not reply to you without a proper e-mail
address.

Mike
