| Subject: | Dynon D-10 Encoder Question |
--> RV-List message posted by: N223RV@aol.com
My Dynon D-10 is supposed to be shipped this week (FYI, I'm order #199). I
have a question about the included encoder. Is anyone flying using the Dynon
encoder? If so, how does it work (good, bad, needed adjustment, etc.).
I am contemplating whether to keep my stand alone encoder, or remove it and
just utilize the Dynon's built in encoder.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Dear Listers;
I've heard a nasty rumor of the loss of an 8 with one soul on board near Grants
Pass, OR. Can anyone confirm?
Thanks,
Bruce

Listers,
What is the conventional wisdom for the locations of EGT thermocouples
relative to the exhaust flanges?
The only post I found in the archives asks the question: "is 1-1/2" from
the flange the popular location?"
Regards,

Not in my opinion. Perhaps if you used a self-etching primer (rattle-can
marhyde comes to mind) that you could just mask and shoot. But in reality,
and as you'll no doubt hear from others (and can see plenty about in the
archives) priming the alclad parts is overkill for the most part. I'd say
either shoot the whole thing with primer or skip it altogether (exept for
the non-alclad parts of course).
('Course I etched, alodyned and primed all my parts with Courtauld's
"airliner" epoxy primer before assembly.... but then my plane spends a lot
of time parked next to the ocean....)

Do you already have the thermocouples and/or gauge? The reason I ask is
they usually come with information on where to locate them. Different
manufacturers specify different locations. The E.I. instructions for
example specify a certain distance from the exhaust flange, while (at least
some) Westach instructions specify a certain distance from the piston skirt
that ends up in a completely different location.
If you have thermocouples already, I would ask the manufacturer for their
location.

On the HRII with custom built exhaust and a VERY tight cowl, we are a little
more like 2 1/2 to 3" down stream and on a "flat" part of the tube. Ours are
drilled in the very "front" part of the tube. If we had to do it again we'd
drill the hole at about 45 degrees angle looking out to make service
removal/re-installation easier BUT we have 3 cylinders on each side so the
middle one(s) is/are the service problem(s). KABONG (GBA)

Sad to say my friend Farn Reed, did not survive a dead stick landing Friday
afternoon in his RV8.
He reported engine problems on down wind but didn't quite make the runway.
Damage to the craft tore half the left wing off and broke the right wing
away from the fuselage. The break away front attach wing bracket did it's
job and there was no fire.
The cockpit area remained virtually intact,
Sad days.
Take care you guys, keep those shoulder harnesses tight!

This is terrible news. Please people....fly your patterns as if you're a
lead GLIDER. Because, someday, YOU MIGHT BE!
I swear it's the modern day training....the "fly bomber sized patterns"
teachings of the every day low-time, 20 yr old CFI that is getting our
collective butts in a ringer.
Give me a direct overhead 360 fighter break anyday. But, I digress.
My condolences to his family. God speed, Mr. Reed.
