In this episode of Flight Chops, we’re flying a marathon day to complete the 25 hour #TestFlight mandatory minimum to apply for the Airworthiness certificate from Transport Canada for the #VansAircraft RV-14. Dave and I logged 14.9 hours Flight Time and 13.5 hours Air Time in one 24 hour period flying an extended pattern within 25 miles of the Windsor, ON Canada Airport (CYQG) - all within weeks of our departure for #AirVenture in Oshkosh.
I literally got blood in the journey log - so to say it took blood sweat and tears is not even an exaggeration.
- IMPORTANT NOTICE AND DISCLAIMER -
This video is entertainment and not meant to be instructional.
Please review your own aircraft / engine manufacturer’s instructions for your break in procedures.
Both Glenn and I are running Lycoming IO390 Thunderbolt engines with angle valves. While we may want to run CHTs even hotter than we are, we don’t want to run as hot as a break in for an engine with traditional parallel valves.
The main mechanism for controlling temps is leaning. So, throughout these flights we are VERY cognizant of the mixture setting.

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
