A few questions about the Maule and RV-6A

Featured Replies

Just some stuff i have been thinking about. The Maule seems to be very affected by propeller rotation. In level flight, to maintain a somewhat steady heading I have been using the fuel transfer system to balance the plane. Is this what you would do in real life with such an aircraft? or have i missed something important here?The RV-6A has a digital gauge that has three digits in it. Theres a switch on it but you cant click it. From what i can tell it is a temperature indicator but for what? There already is a temperature indicator for the engine oil.. Hmm cant think of anything else at the moment.

The digital gauge in the RV-6 is the EGT, I believe the switches are for if multiple sensors are installed (eg on several engine cylinders), they are labelled Scan / Step / Peak and will show the hottest sensor or cycle between them or whatever.See my panel reference http://forum.avsim.net/topic/365484-rv-6-panel-reference/page__fromsearch__1AFAIK its either disfuntunctional or at least not useful in Flight.CheersKeith

There is a "hidden" rudder trim under the right yoke on the Maule :-) You can use the mouse and it's wheel to adjust for cruise...Here you can find a nice solution to assign keys or controls to rudder and aileron trim :-)

Yeah i know of that rudder trim, and have tried it. But i felt that the plane was turning way too much even with just 1%.. Maybe ill have to try that a bit more.
