Tony Bingelis on Engines
by Tony Bingelis
Tony Bingelis' second book on the installation of engines and powerplant systems in experimental and light aircraft focusing on the installation of certified Lycoming and Continental engines in today's more advanced experimental and certificated aircraft.
An excellent update to Firewall Forward focusing mainly on issues encountered when installing Lycoming and other traditional engines in today's established kit built craft such as RVs, Lancairs and Glasair class projects. On-Engines details such concerns as oil cooler placement, control linkage, wiring decisions, baffling, magnetos, exhaust systems, electrical power systems, fuel and vent systems, etc... Written and illustrated mostly using Tony's RV-6 as an example.
On-Engines is also completely relevant and highly useful for A&P technicians complete understanding on the firewall forward systems and components of certified light piston aircraft.
