Anyone care to chime in on what’s in your travel tool kit?
I had one for my -7 but let it go when I sold it. Looking to build another for my -4. I’ve got the basics like screwdrivers, sockets, wrenches, Allen wrenches, tire gauge, pliers, spare spark plug, safety wire, spare inner tube, zip ties, 1 qt of oil. Anything else I’m missing? Thanks! Ricky

ELT mount technique
I installed my ELT (I can move it if necessary) 90 degrees from the instruction recommendation. Can anyone tell me why I wouldn’t want this spot? Seems to fit perfectly and is out of the way of any cables.

Benchmarking oil temperature on RV-14A with Lycoming 390 EXP

MS20074-05-06 torque question
Hello group, hoping experts can weigh in and clarify how to determine correct torque for alternator bracket to engine (RV14 390). These bolts are 5/16-18 course thread. AC 43.13 charts show specs for bolt and nut combo, but what about when the bolt goes into the engine?

Excitement on Climb Out (rough running engine)
Yesterday we had a bit of a break in the weather, so I decided to exercise the -7. All was normal with the run-up except the #2 cylinder was lagging behind the others in EGT/CHT. I've noticed this for a while but everything was running well so no action taken. The takeoff roll was normal as...

Are 'Always On' Avionics a bad idea (Smoke in the Cockpit)
I am planning my RV14 Electrical system for an electrically dependent engine - it will be IFR, so some items of avionics will be essential for all phases of flight. The question is: Is it a bad idea to have some avionics (such as the PFD) always powered on, even when the master is turned off...
