I've built three RV's so far, and all have had a standard Piper Power Plug mounted
on the belly. Most all FBO's will have the ability to jump start me if I
forget to turn off the master..... And yes, I have needed it a few time in the
3000 Hrs+ that I have in RV's.
The plug also doubles as a power input if I want to sit in the hanger on a rainy
day and fiddle with the avionics.....

Fred - where did you mount the piper plug, and did you wire it with a contactor
or directly to the battery? I'm building a 9A.

I put a radio shack door chime under the panel so when the oil pressure is low
and the master is on, it rings.? I also put an override OFF switch for when I'm
working on things.
I use a Harbor freight $15 1.5W solar panel charger so that when I go to the hangar
(no electricity) the battery is topped off.? I don't know how well that charger
would work for a drained battery.

Jerry,
A thread on VAF just started this morning about this very topic. Check
it out here for an example of your Option 4.
http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=46962 This looks
as simple as can be. Just another idea for you.

It is 10 yrs old. I am not sure what it does. I do know I have lost the
recording tack.

| Subject: | Oil Cooler Size On RV-10...? |
Hey, what size oil cooler to the RV-10's use? Is it the same on on the -7's and
-8's? "Oil Cooler II". Or, do they use a larger one?
I've got a SW10610R for my IO-390 on the RV-8 which is a monster sized cooler.
The stock "FF-709" mounting bracket is way too small. Does Van's have a larger
one available? What's used on the RV-10?
I guess that I could make one, but I'd rather Van's CNC punch did, if you know
what I mean...?
Thanks!

The battery pack includes RAM also in the original VM1000. I had the pack
in my DPU replaced a few years back and I think that the $41 is reasonable.

The battery is for the fuel computer functions and tach. time. If you
send it back for a battery pack they will reset the tach time.
