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.

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!

I had the pack in my DPU replaced a few years back and I think that the $41 is reasonable. N1GV (RV-6A Flying 924TTAE Silicon Valley, CA) In a message dated 8/19/2009 2:26:28 P.M.
