I had to fly up to TruTrak sometime back to have my autopilot worked on and saw that their RV10 has two outboard tanks. I talked to Jim Jounkin about it and I bet if you give him a call he'll gladly answer your questions.

Subject: Over voltage module mounting failure - Plane Powere Alternator
Date: Feb 25, 2011
I believe this issue may have been reported before. I have an early model PlanePower 60A internally regulated alternator on my RV-10. The last time the cowl was removed for an oil change I noticed that the externally mounted overvoltage module mounting had failed and the module was hanging loose by it's single wire. The single small screw attaching the module was attached very close to the edge of another opening in the rear sheet metal cover on the alternator. The module is an integral part of a tab extending from the bottom of the module. In my opinion this invoked a "tuning fork" effect amplifying vibration and cracking the sheet metal cover. (Later versions of this alternator have the overvoltage protection mounted internally) After consulting PlanePower, the module was remounted to an area with more edge distance and also bedded in RTV to prevent vibration.

I am not sure of the size, but you surely have a lot of scrap aluminum tubing (fuel, brake, pitot, etc.) that you will use for this application. Just cut a few pieces from the tubing with a band saw. Cut carefully, as they are easy to lose when they are so small. Measure with your harbor freight micrometer. -------- See you OSH '11 Q/B - flying 1 yr+ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=332203#332203 ________________________________________________________________________________

I went to the hardware store and bought some SS tubing with the correct ID and OD and cut it to fit. The plans say to drill out the aluminum tubing supplied but that was a bit cumbersome.

Wayne, I had a similar leaking rivet during my first annual on my quick build wings. I used green loctite 290 to seal it up. No problems now almost 4 years later. My rivet was on the bottom, so I drained the fuel. Someone told me to put a little vacuum on the tank to help the Loctite get into the rivet, that sounded like a lot of work to do. I thought it was easier to put a little pressure on the outside, so I put a piece of rubber hose into a balloon and held that over the rivet to force some of the Loctite under the rivet. So I laid on my back under the wing for an hour or so and held it there. I also used a heat gun to help the Loctite dry. Then I probably let it sit for a couple weeks before filling the tank back up. -Jim N312JE From: owner-rv10-list-server(at)matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server(at)matronics.com] On Behalf Of Wayne Williams Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2011 3:05 PM Subject: RV10-List: fuel leak So, doing my first condition inspection and found a small fuel leak (big blue stain) at the inboard leading edge of my fuel tank.

If the sealant is soft, it is bad. The bad sealant has to be removed, then replaced. Hard plastic or plexiglass scrapers to avoid damaging your aluminum. There is a solvent. It is slow acting. You probably are going to have to remove the tank to work on it and find the actual leak. I can get you the source of the solvent. For hand work the gel form is best.

If that is what the so-called experts told you, they simply don't know what they are talking about, or are giving you a pacifying excuse with no basis in fact. Pro-seal only gets gummy if it wasn't mixed and cured correctly to start with, or was exposed long term to auto-gas. There are many Mooneys no only with wet wing tanks, but with wet wing aux tanks that are left empty most of the time. Current versions of Pro-seal, or Flamemaster Chemseal do not need to be kept wet with fuel. If that were true, your tanks would leak like a sieve the first time you put fuel in them, since it likely will have been a year or two from the sealing to the filling for first flight.

Subject: HD Video Action Camera with Remote!
As a follow up to our discussion of video cameras I came across this unit that seems to have unique features including: Rotating Lens for level framing Remote Control to turn on/off from a distance (no idea what range) Screen to review footage Audio In jack (proprietary but then connects to standard plug [I think]) Note the reviews also say it=92s larger than you expect from the photos. http://driftinnovation.com/ They even have an Aviation page: http://driftinnovation.com/category/airshow/ Some good aviation reviews. The only down side I read is the built in audio is lacking. I suspect wiring the 3.5 mm Mic-In would be the best way to capture intercom audio. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I used the camera's mounting equipment and tie-wraps to attach my Drift HD 170 camera to the left wing strut of my Cessna 172 airplane. I have now taken several HD videos of flights in northern Michigan during very cold temps (15-20 degrees F). The videos are spectacular on my HD television. They look as good as the promotional videos on the manufacturer's website. The camera endures winds of more than 100 knots during the flights without any difficulty. Minor vibration on the first flight was cured with duct tap e on the base that made the mounting more secure and eliminated play. The camera's unique adjustment feature that allows me to mount the camera at an angle on the strut and twist the lens to level the picture is a key feature . It does not move from the position that I've set it in. The audio even work s well at altitude with the engine roaring. I am thinking of buying a second camera to mount at another position on the plane. I would recommend it highly to others. *Bottom Line:* Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Just shot a promo using this camera mounted in a helicopter and airplane. I t was subjected to high frequency vibrations in the helicopter and performed superbly when mounted properly. I was very pleased with the quality of the video and the 170 degrees perfectly covered the inside of the cockpit. The rotating lens is ingenious! The only drawback of this camera is the audio proprietary plug. You can only use their wired mic for this camera. I attempted to acquire the aircraft audio by placing the Drift mic inside aircraft headsets... which was iffy. If Drift had offered a mini jack adapter I would have given this product 5 stars. Oh, and their "manual" is a folded pamphlet that excludes important info like how to charge the battery (plug the Drift into your computer just like an iPod). Otherwise, enjoy, it's a fun camera! ________________________________________________________________________________
Subject: Need wheel pant part numbers!!! Need new nosewheel pant
From: "Eric_Kallio" <scout019(at)msn.com>
Date: Feb 27, 2011
I left my plans at the hanger and I need to order both halves of a front wheel fairing for my -10. Search of the webstore pointed me to the RV-12 gear. Here is why I need a new fairing. While on short final for the first of what was to be a couple of touch and goes during my fly-off I heard a bit of a buzzing out front. Nothing serious I thought since there was a bit of a cross wind I figured it was the nose wheel coming straight as I got below the trees and out of the crosswind. I touched down on the mains and started the flaps up, added power and picked right back up. At about 50 feet I heard a pop. That is when a friend in another aircraft waiting to take off called me on the radio asking if I planned to come back around and pick up the pieces of my nose wheel pant from the runway. According to him and another witness on the ground, when I first approached it looked like the left side of the wheel pant was fluttering as if it had pulled through the screws.When I hit the power for the go-around and picked up speed it "exploded"(their words) into about 8 major pieces. Post-mortem of the wheel pant supports the ground reports of potential pulled through mounting screws. The left screw holes are enlarged while the right ones held and I pulled some smaller pieces from under these screws. I will be redoing the wheel pant of course. Except this time I will be adding more glass to the sides and spreading the load with tinnerman washers at a minimum. Eric Kallio N518RV 16 hours of phase 1 remaining.

From: Mike Schulz <mike(at)profishenterprises.com>
Be very careful with any kind of vacuum because it takes very little to internally collapse any container not designed for vacuum. When deciding what to use for a vacuum source someshop vacs pull vacuum by pulling air through an electric motor with brushes. The air is filtered before it gets to the brushes in the motor but it is still gas fumes and they are very explosive and even if yours doesn't go through the motor the spark from the brushes will be very close to the fumes. Sometime back there was a posting about plugged vents on RV10 fuel tanks and the tanks where collapsing. Sorry if this got long but I work around gas and other explosive type fumes and would rather not see a posting in the future about explosions or collapsing fuel tanks. Loctite green will wick around the rivet without vacuum as long as there is no internal pressure. Empty the tank and leave the cap off. I don't know what the actual statistics are fumes exploding in shop vacs but I know it does occur. Do you feel lucky???? Google it. It does happen.

Many builders tested their tanks using a water manometer to raise the pressure about 4". You can use the same setup to instead draw a vacuum.

Well, if you go back to Van's website, the workers are supposedly skilled and experienced. I would put any blame squarely on Van's pinching pennies and letting his customers be his quality control dept. I quote from the website: "How would you like to hire a team of experienced experts, with over a thousand completed RV airframes on their resume, for twenty-five weeks, eight hours a day? They will build the first half of your kit, jigging and riveting about 75% of your metal airframe. They will do all the messy jobs, like sealing the fuel tanks and priming to protect against corrosion. They never leave a mess, make no noise, dont need insurance and never want to use your bathroom. When they leave, you will have only 800-1200 hours of work to finish the airplane. And they work for about eight dollars an hour! We dont know anybody like that either, but we can tell you how to get the result: Order a QuickBuild Kit." As to defects, I spent around 10 days doing inspection, step by step through the plans, annotating anything I wasn't satisfied with. I'm picky after 30+ years working on certified planes and inspecting them for their annuals. Anything I didn't like I drilled out the rivets, took out the part and fixed it right. That is what the plans tell you to do, Van's marketing hype aside. Comparing the mistakes the QB had vs what the average builder is going to do, is kind of a toss-up. So it comes down to whether you want to blame yourself or Van's subcontractor? If you think that because you built it yourself it is safer to take your family in than the Quick build kits, you are deluding yourself.

My aircraft contains QB wings (#24)and QB fuselage (#8) . Now have 400TT. IIRC there was very little that I could not inspect. My QB tanks do not leak. Your statements about foreign workers sounds right out of a union management's playbook. I lived and worked outside the USA before retirement and by far the most skilled craftsman in the Middle East and Far East are the Phillipinos. Their work was "bought" by skilled Americans. We trusted these foreign workers for a lot of complex and difficult tasks on projects a lot more costly and important than these aircraft. I trust these foreign workers enough to have purchased a new Honda Accord and a new Kia Forte. One only needs to look at the before and after pictures of 1940s/2010s Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and Detroit Hiroshima and Nagasaki are modern cities and Detroit is abandoned shacks and burnt out buildings. Google modern Detroit and modern Hiroshima. More depends on the quality of administration than the perceived inadequacies of the workforce. After seeing Kelly's post, the $8 an hour in the Philippines equates to $16000 per year. The projected cost of $8 per hour includes the construction, transportation, inspection and profit. The average wage in the Philippines is closer to $1 an hour. If the workers are getting even $2 per hour they are doing quite well. In 1980, Pilipino bus drivers in the Middle East were housed, fed and medicated at no charge and received $1000 salary per month. They were also performing domestic tasks for $5 per hour in their spare time. When a driver completed his 2 year contract, he went home with $30k-$50k and lived quite well. Some started other businesses. As Kelly suggests inspect and fix if desired. In my case there was very little to correct. The QB tanks don't leak but I did not remove them to install a stall warning and passengers do not stand on the tanks.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I never would have thought of Loctite green. The warning of using the shop vac with fuel vapor is a good one and easy to overlook. I appreciate the solvent source. Looks like I've got another project. At least now I know what to do! Wayne ________________________________________________________________________________

I was thinking of trying to talk the others in doing so, just for the full Sun n Fun experience.

On Mine: LH side: #2 ga power to front, 14ga power to strobe power supply, 2 ea 16-3/S strobe cables to wings, 18 ga tail pos light, pitot tubing to grt ahrs. RH side/Bundle #1(only one in conduit): Elt phone cable, dynon magnetometer 4-22/S, GRT ahrs/magnetometer harness, spare 18-3S, 10ga aux bat e-bus feed, 16 ga aux bat hot feed to front, crossfeed contactor and e-bus relay 22 ga grounds. RH side/Bundle #2: VOR RG-400, static tubing to front, 2 ea spare 18-3/S(for ads-b down the road or anything else in the tail), pitch ap servo harness, pitch trim 5-26/S cable. I only ran one conduit, the other two assemblies I did before covering the area. I only use conduit for wiring that I did not have or know about at the time. Everything that I could think of at the time got ran inside bushings, rubber grommets, ms clamps. I just like have my wires tight and not flopping around loose inside the conduit. Same for the wings. I run wires for hvac inside conduit on fixed equipment. Over time vibrations in the plane may or may not be good for the insulation. Conduit holds the heat in the bundle longer. I did not see the point in using high dollar tefzel wiring then enclose it in highly flammable plastic. I am sure there is a MS type conduit, but I doubt Van's supplies that. So if going with conduit and running a ground up front 3 should be fine unless your installing spares like I did then you may need 4. Been working on cabin cover then alternating with some wiring while epoxy cures. About ready to paint the interior, install some led lights/rg-400 to top com and install it in a few days. Doors after that...oh boy. -------- Wayne Gillispie, A&P 5/93, PPC 10/08 Bldr# 40983 SB Started 12/1/09.

Like others, I took the approach of running everything I could plan using clamps, grommets, etc. Then I have 2 runs of conduit, just under the rear floor section that Tim described, for the 'unplanned' stuff. The planned stuff is mainly big wire electrical system stuff. The unplanned is more avionics and small circuts. Stactic lines I ran on the rh side wall. I'd suggest getting the documentation for Van's electrical kit. It has details for running a lot of electrical system wires including clamp/grommet hardware for running stuff from back to front. (There's good stuff for FWF wiring too). I wouldn't suggest the kit itself, just the doc. Then just add some empty conduit for other stuff. Added a pic of battery compartment to show some of big wire electrical system stuff at the bottom, and a conduit run in the middle of the pic. You can also see my battery to frame ground setup.

This is what I did also,,,,,ground cable and terminal block at the firewall .. FWIW, I ran two 1" and one 3/4" conduit (the flexible kind from Home Dep ot) snaked through the baggage rib lightening holes, edges protected with e dge grommet, on each side (total of 6). They come up through the rear seat pans between the side covers and side fuselage skins. My SafeAir static/pit ot lines are on the co-pilot side and run through snap bushings installed i n the bulkheads. I am using heavy #1 marine cable, positive and negative, e ach in its own conduit. Two more of the conduits are used for two antenna c oax cables, and several bundles of other wires for elevator trim, rudder tr im, strobe cables and power supply, rudder position light, elevator AP serv o,,,,etc. Bottom line is I have two leftover 1"conduits for future wire run s I haven't thought of, or might need down the line. Run them now before yo u rivet the floor and seat pans down. You will not be sorry if you have one or two unused conduits but will be if you find out later you need one but did not put one in while you could.

You need Internet to file a flight plan & an external gps for position, but if you download the charts & plates via wifi, they are available in the air. I have the holux bt gps, but you have to be jailbroken to use it. It is cheap at only $35, and works extremely well. Much better than internal gps in iPhone, IMHO.

David Clifford RV-10 Builder Howell, MI I just dug mine out last week. They were in a brown paper bag with all the other bags of hardware that came in the finish kit. There were over 100 of them IIRC. I temporarily installed my seat rails and stripped two of the Phillips heads when I removed them. Had to drill them out of the nutplates. I will use Torx drive screws next time they get installed.

Subject: Another first flight
From: Rob Kochman <rv10rob(at)gmail.com>
Hi, all... after three years, six months, and one week, our RV-10 finally had its first flight on Saturday! Rob took off from runway 34L at Paine Field, climbed to 3000 feet, circled the airport for 15 minutes, then landed uneventfully. Despite some nerves, the flight was a success. Only 39.75 more hours to go until the test period is complete and Kelly can ride, too! Our RV-10 is powered by an Aero Sport Power IO-540-D4A5 (260 hp), Silver Hawk EX FI system, with a slick mag on bottom and Light Speed Plasma III on top. The instrument panel has a Dynon D100 EFIS, Dynon D120 EMS, Garmin GNS 430 GPS, and panel-mounted Garmin GPSMAP 696. Interior by Flightline Interiors. Our tail number is 819K: 8/19 is our wedding anniversary, and K is for "Kelly" (according to her).

One thing that was a mistake was lubing the rails with white lithium grease. Over time and with cold temps it made the situation worse. The teflon? is on the seat riders. Had to clean out all the grease, they seem to work best without lube or perhaps some very light type. Have not tried that yet. If the tracks are the least bit out of alignment the problem is obviously worse. Dick Sipp 350 Hours ________________________________________________________________________________

When I received my kit, I scanned in the entire inventory document using a text converter, and then cleaned it up using MS Word, where it is easily searchable. I then just put the bags in plastic drawers purchase from the aviation section of Lowes. The drawers are numbered with the bag number. When I need a specific part I just punch it in to the work area laptop, and it tells me which bag its in. Vans told me they were in the process of converting all of the antique inventory forms to Word. They sent me the QB Fuse list, which is all they had done at the time. It sure makes it easier to find stuff. I never did anthing more than a bag inventory. I did find that I was short 300 of the CS4-4s, which Vans sent me ASAP, no questions. bill -------- Bill Peyton Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=332990#332990 ________________________________________________________________________________

Congratulations to a local guy. We have never met but I hope to remedy that some time. I am just down the road in Puyallup and a couple of years behind you. We have two RV-10s in process here. I am the slow one. One of our chapter members, Charlie, was your DAR according to your pictures. Hopefully our weather will cooperate with your fly-off plans, but this time of year it is not too promising.

I just did a little work on my pedal blocks this weekend: http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/upgrades/20090503/index.html I decided since I had nothing better to do, I'd pull them and drill some holes in them, repaint them, put anti-skid on them, and just in general freshen them up.

With Platinum Survey you can make up to $4,000 a month by just filling out online surveys or participating in focus groups! Get paid to read, shop, test drive vehicles, eat, or play! Quit your day job and be your own boss! Unlimited income potential and rewards! Hi, my name is Mary Donnelly and I want to tell you about how Platinum Survey changed my life. Before I discovered Platinum Survey I was working part-time as a cashier at the local grocer while taking care of my three children; Alex, Patricia, and Jacob. I was having trouble balancing my home life and my work life and I was barely able to make ends meet with my minimum-wage job. I searched the internet trying to find a solution to my financial problems. When I discovered Platinum Survey, I was skeptical at first. What set me at ease was their 60-day money back guarantee. Not only that, but they said I could keep all of the money and gifts that I received from the companies I helped. So I decided to give them a shot and now 6 months have passed. I quit my job at the grocer and work 7 hours a week earning $800.00 a week. Thats 5 times what I was making slaving away at the local mart. Whats neat about Platinum Survey is that I can pick what surveys I want to do. I can also pick how many surveys I want to do per day or week and I dont have to worry about finishing them quickly because there are no time-limits to worry about. I have also participated in 2 online focus groups which were a lot of fun.

Subject: Re: Spot Messenger Share interest?
From: "AirMike" <Mikeabel(at)Pacbell.net>

I have a Spot Messenger that I have been using for one year. I like it, but it is not perfect. I would be disinclined to rent it out as I fly in the mountains and have it "velcro-ed" to the upper glare shield for fast easy access. When I need to fly (or can fly between winter storms) - I want my spot available. I have used it from the Sierra and the SF Bay Area to Israel and all in between including 2 trans Atlantic crossings. It is a cool thing as there is the immediacy of contact with people that you know and trust. The bad part is that the bread crumb deal is only every 15 minutes and that is too long when you are over mountains. I like to send an, "I'm ok" message every 5-10 minutes or so when flying over mountains. To do that you must turn the Spot OFF and then turn it on again - a cumbersome process when you are single pilot and flying over mountains and talking to ATC. Still, my non-flying wife likes to get the text messages and the computer messages with the google-earth link. They have priced it pretty cheap ($149 discounted) and now they have a $169 deal with few freebees and a 15% service discount. I am due to re-up my service next month and will do so. Flying in the big uninhabited areas of the West it is a good thing to have along. Over water I would consider it mandatory. If you have worry wart relatives, I'd also consider it a near necessity. No service issues with my 2nd generation model. Overall I'd rate it a B+. They advertise over 1000 saves (is that just saved lives? who knows) which is pretty impressive even if it is 1/10 that number. Unless you are just flying MSP to OSH I would consider it a good value for flying safety. -------- See you OSH '11 Q/B - flying 1 yr+ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=333290#333290 ________________________________________________________________________________

Dave, I don't see any need to mess with the injectors on my Mooney more than every 200 hours or so. If you still have the same mixture spread leaning from rich of peak to lean of peak that you had after last cleaning, they are fine. You can easily tell from EGT traces if an injector begins to behave a bit differently. The injector lines will only tolerate so much bending when injectors are removed and replaced, and frequent disassembly doesn't do the threads in the cylinder heads or spyder any good either. I'd go on condition based on EGT results. On Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 3:59 PM, DLM wrote: > > The ONE wants civility so maybe we can get back to technical questions for > the RV10.

Received the finish kit today and just finished the inventory. Can't completely understand where the 14G went, but they are all parts needed to fly. For those who are interested, the serial number on the front seats is 788, and serial number of the doors are 751 and 760. I am builder number 784, and have a bit over three years into the project, having completed one kit a year. So, with finish kit serial numbers this high, we are looking at a sizable fleet of RV-10s flying soon. -------- Andy Turner Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=333407#333407 ________________________________________________________________________________

Everything worked and it flew great. #1 cylinder was a bit hot on climb but settled down after leveling off. Man did it feel good to bring the whole project to the final step. Thanks to everyone on the list who provided me with information and help over the last 5 years. What a ride! See you at Oshkosh.

Mega kuddos. A real sense of accomplishment. Now the real fun begins. Fly it often and be careful. Pull that cowling and check carefully after each of your early flights. Hint on the temp. Cut down the wind dam on the 2 front cylinders - might help the temps.

Has anyone actually SWITCHED to the 2006X oil cooler from the standard Aero-Classic or the Niagara, and actually seen a definite improvement in oil cooling? >From the cooler body, everything from the machining, stamping, punch engraving, all parts, and everything else looks identical side-by-side, with the exception that the 2006X seems to have the thin WWWWWW fins slightly tighter packed giving about 10 more V's worth per row. All 3 brands of cooler are 13-row coolers, and while I haven't seen the Niagara and the others side by side, the Aero-Classic and 2006X even have some of the same stamping marks on the parts....looks like two letter persons initials. I don't want comments like "I have this one and it's great"....we're not blindly cheerleading. I want real hard examples like "I had brand/model X, and when I switched to Y, I saw a definite decrease (or increase) in oil temps. I bought the 2006X based on the claims of lowered temps, so I could put the oil cooler gate valve in and adjust the temps to keep it warm enough in the winter but cool in the summer....but if I'm not going to see definite changes (lowering) of temps, I'm not going to install either item.

Tim, you might be asking a question that is hard to answer in a scientific manner. Since there are so many variables that could affect the outcome.........engine break in, baffling improvements, etc. After a trip to Vegas I decided that I could not live with my oil temperature problem and replaced the oil cooler. I saw a general oil temperature decrease.....lets say 10 degrees....on the hot climb outs. One other point....with the new cooler, I could not get the oil temps up above 180 in the winter without using the airflow control valve I installed. This past winter, on Utah cold days.........lets say 20-30f at takeoff....I have been flying with all the air flow cut off to the oil cooler. Max oil temps have been a little over 200f.

The standard angled oil filter adapter from Mattituck does fit the engine mount. When installing the engine, you need to swing the back of the engine down and under the engine mount bar, but it does fit with plenty of clearance. It's much better to change the oil with the angled adapter than with the straight adapter, which puts the back of the oil filter just aft of flush with the firewall (sticking into the firewall box just slightly). I can't speak to the prop governor, as I have only used the MT from Van's, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. You may need to do some adjustments as have been necessary with some of the MT's, but that should be all. I'm no governor expert, however, so you might want to talk to one of those.

Subject: Re: 2006X oil cooler question
Hi Rene', I know I couldn't really ask for a real scientific answer on that one. Not many people would actually swap coolers in one day and go through all the work to verify an exact drop in temps. I just figured if there were a handful of people who actually tried both and saw a difference, I could get a feel for it. That way their break-in, baffling, and all that doesn't really matter much...what matters is if they saw lower temps after the new cooler. I also didn't just want people who have ONLY had that cooler to report, because when you've only used ONE cooler, you don't really have a way know that you really have any difference. Besides, everything I could read about it just said that it has "X % greater cooling than similar sized coolers". That's not very scientific...you'd really need to specify WHICH coolers. I'm sure there are some really crappy coolers of similar size out there. But when I saw mine was nearly identical in construction, I just got worried that I may have wasted some good dollars. From the few replies so far though, it sounds like it may actually be a good deal. I'm right there with you on the airflow control valve. That was also part of my hangup. I didn't want to install the new cooler and have my oil be even MORE too cool on the winter days. As it was, it can get in the high 160's on cold flights. So I figured if I actually got -10 degrees out of it, I would do it with the control valve. That way I can do as you do and keep it optimal. Which valve did you use? I am very slightly worried that installing any valve may add a little restriction even at full-open, but I may just be paranoid there. That's also why I didn't want to add the valve unless I had the best cooler I could get. I bought the nonstopaviation.com valve. So far I did figure out a way to mount it on the cooler housing itself that would work, but mounting it on the back of the baffle gives too much interference with my engine mount for my satisfaction from the looks of it. Don M, if you're reading this, do you know where I can get some 4" SCAT tubing in Blue? I thought at one time you had a source for that. I'm guessing I'd buy 18" and then could trim it a little.

As for blue aeroduct tubing this is where we purchased ours but it is in 12' lengths. I think a friend recently told me about a place he purchases it by the foot. I will email him now.

Tim I have the same valve you purchased and it does work great. I mounted mine on the oil cooler Mount and it works great. I installed Mine at around 30 hrs. I saw no change in temps at fully opened with or without. It does work really good On my engine and cowling set up which is almost identical to yours. I can adjust the valve to run my oil Temps where I want to. It takes around 5-6 minutes to have it change and start to settle after adjustment. In the winter below around 25f I usually have It closed almost all the way. Temps Get to max around 185 after 30 minutes at cruise.sometimes a little less on the temps. I do have the 2006x installed and No baffle splitter in the cooler mount.

Subject: 2006X oil cooler question
Date: Mar 13, 2011
Summer air temps are well into the 100's here in Yuma and I had high oil temps from the start. The usual inversion layer often gives us a 10 deg temp rise on climb out so it takes awhile to get to cooler air. I swapped out the original cooler for the 2006X but didn't get enough cooling. I then installed a second cooler (2006X) on the right side using the same parts as the left side. Had to turn the starter solenoid sideways but otherwise there was enough room. Running in series 2 coolers seem to have solved my problem. My engine is a 10:1 with 1 Lightspeed at 315hp. Still have to careful of temps on the ground though. Once I had to wait for 12 F-18s to leave before me and I was getting a little worried. In general though, the additional cooler has solved my high oil temp problem.

Don't bother priming those sides...they will get scratched up bad. Mine were a bear to get in and out. Be careful not to bend the flanges on the sides when pushing/pulling on them. I used an awl through some of the holes to help pull. When clecoing, riveting you may notice that they do not line up perfectly with stiffeners below. Probably the worst part so far for not aligning close to perfect.

Subject: Re: 2006X oil cooler question
I did get a very preliminary flight today after installing the 2006X oil cooler. I flew last Friday for an hour, and I was able to get 185-187F out of the original Aero-Classics oil cooler. The weather that day was high 20's-low 30's F. That would be perfect for me, if it stayed there year round. Yesterday I flew with the 2006X oil cooler, although only maybe .4 or so hours. It was maybe 20F out, but maybe a little less. I flew until I hit 174 or 175F and it didn't climb very fast in temp at all. I got the feeling that the 2006X cooler did indeed cool a little more than the other, but the day was colder too, so it was hard to tell. Today I installed the Nonstopaviation.com control valve, and went for a quick flight of only .3 or .4 hours. I kept the valve closed until the oil temp hit 190F after takeoff. Then I set the valve wide open and it went down under 180F for a bit, and then climbed back up to 183F or so after a couple minutes. The weather outside was a little warmer today...ground temps were in the 30's....and I believe slightly warmer than Friday. Now, none of this is scientific, but, it does appear that even with just looking at this tiny snapshot in time that isn't very well compared, that the 2006X cooler does drop the temps a little....maybe at least 4 degrees, but just guessing by the way it reacted to going full open, it could be more towards 7 or even 8 degrees F lower. I don't know that I'll believe it'll do 15F lower, but something in the neighborhood of 5-10F is probably likely. Now, again, this is only a very very small snapshot in time. I'll have to play with it on some longer flights, especially when I get on vacation in a couple weeks where it's warmer, and see how the temps look now. At present though, I'm thinking that Nonstopaviation.com valve is probably a pretty nice thing to have for us cold-weather fliers (or for LOP flying at higher altitudes on cold days) to keep the oil temp in the good range, and that the 2006X cooler is probably worth the added $$$ if you drop the Van's standard cooler from the parts list and order that one instead. I got it from Alex at rvtraining.com, and I see it's also available at other places. So, if I were starting from scratch, I'd buy that cooler initially first. My other cooler did work ok for me, and many other folks, but if there is something better, then I guess that's the way to go. This is just all preliminary, but anyway, it was interesting for me.

Subject: Balance weights on Hartzell CS prop hub
A close examination of my (unused, unmounted) Hartzell prop hub, I see 2 screws safety wired together on the hubs, near where the prop shafts are mounted. What's strange is that there are 8 threaded screw holes, 2 pair at each prop shaft. But only 2 of the 8 are in place and safety wired. In the Owner's manual, they are called 'balance weights'. In one drawing it looks like a plate of some sort might be mounted under the screws. One other diagram 'suggests' safety wire. Otherwise, I can find no reference to them.

The screws hold balance weights, which are plates that mount under pairs of screws. The two screws you see are part of the 'weight' ..... but no plates were needed. meaning that the initial assembly and static balance were almost spot on. I once balanced a prop on a homebuilt that the owner had taken apart after a gear-up landing ...... his third. He 'straightened' the bent blades with a 5 Lb maul (already spent too much on new blades!), reassembled, and when he did he put all the weights on one blade ...... on one side! The prop stayed together longer than the owner. I was amazed.

Subject: Re: Balance weights on Hartzell CS prop hub
What you are discussing is the difference between static balance, which is done by factory or any prop shop when they service a prop which is simply having prop balanced end to end about the center point; and dynamic balance that is done on the aircraft with the engine running, and will be different for every engine, for any difference in prop clocking if it is changeable. A prop must have proper static balance before you will be able to effectively do a dynamic balance.

True as far as it goes. Not every engine that this prop will fit is equipped with a flywheel in which to mount balance weights, and not everybody thinks the spinner back-plate is the best place to be poking holes for balance bolts.

Putting balance weights on the flywheel will refine the balance done with the prop weights, which is a static balance. I recommend everyone get their prop balanced to reduce vibration which lessens wear/tear on airframes and pilots alike. Put a clear glass of water on the glareshield and see how big the ripples get. Do it again after the balance job. See the results. Engine/prop vibrations are very subjective when taken through the seat of your pants.

My experience says it's harder to get a good balance with a wooden prop because it flexes more than a metal one. It can be done, just takes longer, and you really need to know what RPM you cruise at most often as RPM will make a difference. There are lots of other 'things' that make a dynamic balance job harder too.

Hi Bill, indeed they are balance weights and depending upon the static balance horizontally and/or vertically are applied to the various screw locations to affect horizontal or vertical balance in various numbers. If you don't have many, you most likely have a well balanced prop statically. Dynamically is a different thing and a good thing to do when early in your flying phase. Balance weights will then be added most likely to the spinner backplate in addition. Also make sure the lockwire running between the screws isn't capable of sawing a groove in the blade as it moves during constant speeding.

Anyone experience "binding" in the throttle quadrant? My throttle and mixture seem more ? difficult to move than normal. I have check firewall forward and find no reason for more force required to move. I have tried the friction lock control but it does not seem to accomplish much if any. ________________________________________________________________________________

My cables seized up and made the quadrant levers very hard to move. Try checking the archives--there should be part numbers and lenghts for throttle, prop, and mixture cables. A few extra inches makes routing a lot easier. If you don't find them I can dig them up.

Has anyone purchased just a carpet kit for the RV-10? I'm looking for a nice, drop in kit, something that will cover the tunnel (standard layout) and all floors including the baggage area. Not just floor mats. I know I can get carpet from Airtex and do it myself, but I was hoping to find something alittle more drop in. Any ideas?

Thanks. I already ordered extra length cables from Vans. I added 1.5 inches to each. Prop cable is fine. I did confirm the problem in the cable. After disconnecting the throttle lever it moved freely and smoothly. I then disconnected injection system mechanism from the throttle cable and it moved freely. The cables look fine but move with force and jerkily. I did notice that the bracket which Vans supplies could be angled differently and improve the connection. Vans indicated that their cables were Cablecraft but given their price, it is more likely they are ACS out of Lake Havasu AZ rather than the more expensive Tuthill Cablecraft cables for certified aircraft. The Cablecraft cables last to engine TBO and longer. Given the hassle to change the cables, it might be better to special order a set to proper length direct from Cablecraft.

I will try and verify on Monday the source of Vans quadrant control cables. They are the correct color for Cablecraft low friction but the ACS website does not show their cables. Anyway the throttle and mixture lengths for the Vans cable set need to be increased 1.5-2 inches for better routing options and fit. ----- Original Message ----- From: "DLM" <dlm34077(at)q.com> Sent: Saturday, March 19, 2011 9:06 AM Subject: Re: RV10-List: throttle quadrant > > Thanks.

If you do not want a fancy carpet job and do not feel compelled to spend for Airtex FAA approved stuff.... I have a solution. Look in the carpet remnant stores for Jute backed wool carpet. It is a bit hard to find, but I got a nice piece in San Rafael, CA for $60. I made templates out of kraft paper and cut the pieces. Then had the edges bound for $1.00/ft - I think that the binding ran about $100. Viola - carpets for about $165 total cost. The binding lady even put hot melt glue around the tie down/seatbelt holes in back. This gives you a fairly fire safe carpet except for the small amount of urethane glue on the jute backing - this can be treated with a can of spray fireblock if desired. -------- See you OSH '11 Q/B - flying 1 yr+ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=334489#334489 ________________________________________________________________________________

This is one of the dumb features on an otherwise great system. To get to time in service, press the red reversion button on the audio panel. Then on the PFD select the engine soft button and then in the lower left corner is the time in service. I think it calculates only flying time derived from ground speed trigger, but am not totally sure about that.

Gary & David, Another way to do that is during shutdown (on my system) the MFD is turned off but the PFD stays on. At that point it is just like revision mode. Follow the procedure listed below Engine > System to get your time. I have two other suggestions. Some time ago I mentioned to the RV List a free website called www.CirrusReports.com I record my flight data for every flight on the top MFD SD Card slot. About once every 4-6 flights I swap out the SD card for the backup SD card I carry in my flight bag camera case. Take the SD card to any computer, delete any small files that represent engine starts but not flights (they are obvious due to file size) and then upload the flight data to CR.com. The upload process is fast & easy. I uploaded 6 flights yesterday and it took probably 2 minutes. From there CR.com presents every single engine & flight parameter you can imagine including Geo-referenced map, and charts of every engine item with the option to display any 4 individual items at once so you can see for example Fuel Flow vs. CHT's. Speed vs. RPM. The combinations are enlightening. It also has a spread sheet function to give you Departure/Arrival times, Hobbs time, Flight time etc... In many ways it can substitute for your Log Book as far as accurate flight dates, hours, notes. You can choose to make your flight data public or keep it private. I have decided to make mine available to the public. http://www.cirrusreports.com/flights/N110EE/ Because it has this data it also has a simple export to Google Earth in both 3D view & Cockpit View. Here is a screen capture of the 3D view for a local flight I took back in August. Again this took less than 1 minute to produce: [image: Flight.JPG] Here is a close up (from the other side of the airport) of my departure & arrival on different runways plus the over flight of the airport. It even shows I taxied back to Self Serve Fuel. Very powerful! [image: flight2.JPG] Nice feature! Moving on I have one more suggestion. If you have not installed the latest version of the G900X OS. It has many small changes I have noticed. For example it has Ground Speed now displayed next to True Air Speed so I can eliminate the GS I normally had as an option on the MFD and can use that space for some other parameter like ETA. It has an updated Flight Planning system and displays including different flags that I still have no idea what they mean. It also has some really cool features like anytime you scroll over an airport or roll over one in the Flight Planner it gives you instant weather reporting vs. having to push a couple of additional page buttons and leave the map display to get updated field WX info. Very tidy info. I bring this up because I bet there is a better representation of times in the new OS. I just have not played with it enough to know the differences yet. Also if you want to make a stink about these times with Garmin one day they may just place the times in their own section on the appropriate status page some day as they should have from the start.
