Aircraft/Engine Systems (video) by George Orndorff 2 tapes / 3 hours VHS  - $46.50   Although based around a Lycoming 0-360 equipped RV-6A, this video is extremely relevant to the finishing or restoration of almost any high performance homebuilt aircraft, certainly including RVs, Lancairs, Glasairs, GlaStars, etc... This is an area to which most kit plane manufacturers offer little assistance in their plans and manuals citing "every installation is different and the builder needs to make their own choices". While that may be true, the fundamental decisions and techniques involved are the same for us all. In this video, George Orndorff, a highly experienced builder of several aircraft, takes you step by step through each of the system installations which are a part of every aircraft. Here is some of what is covered:

1] Engine cooling systems. (assembling baffles and fitting them to the cowl)
2] Oil cooler placement and installation, including oil lines
3] Accessory cooling tube placement and installation
4] Throttle, mixture and prop control cables
5] Engine instrument sender installations
6] Vacuum pump installation
7] Fuel system. (gascolator, primer, fuel lines, firesleeve, etc...)
8] Cabin heat baffles and control
9] Constructing hoses
