    Subject: Ready to Prime
    Well, the week of the first few customer built RV-10's taking to the air, I'm ready to prime the VS. Only problem is, I am so #$% & confused about what primer to use I'm almost ready to go down to Ace and buy some Rustoleum. Anyway, there appears to be 3 paths, give or take. The first is to use a self etching primer and perhaps do the minimum, the minimum being rivet lines, and leaving the alcad to do its thing. This saves time all around, as well as weight. The second is to use a more traditional priming approach, perhaps variprime, and shoot everything. The third seems to be the most ambitious, and that is to use an epoxy of some type, including a complete pretreatment of either the nasty stuff or the more environmentally friendly stuff, then encase the aluminum forever more using something like AKZO. I guess that I'm going to punt and go with the AKZO, spending the extra time and effort to make sure the moisture and salt air doesn't penetrate, giving up the extra weight and hoping it gives it a better resale value down the road. My question has to do with preparation. I'd rather use something that is as environmentally friendly as possible, but as long as I'm going to all the trouble, I don't want to use something unproven. I realize there are no correct answers, but would very much appreciate any input in terms of either effectiveness given your experience or knowledge of such things, or the ease of preparation and clean up. Thanks in advance, John Jessen -> Empcone (2%) _____ From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Randy DeBauw Subject: RV10-List: Check list updated Well I now have a plane not a project. Airworthiness Certificate and Op Limitations in hand. Friday is still looking OK for first flight. Here is what my FAA inspector does with the injected Lycoming he flies a lot. Boost pump just before take-off. He turns it off during climb out. I have changed my checklist so show the same. I will fly the first few hours without leaning. Help in cooling during break-in.

Randy ________________________________ From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com on behalf of DejaVu Subject: RV10-List: FWF Kit - Wrong Exhaust System? I inventoried my FWF kit today and my Vetterman Exhaust System (IO540) does not look like what the intructions or Randy's pictures show. I have 2 separate heat shrouds each with a tail pipe at one end and a 3-to-1 at the other. Of course there are 2 flanges on the side of each shroud for in/out scat tubes. These shrouds appear to have been made to run longitudinally alongside the induction system. The intructions show one big shroud positioned laterally aft of the induction system with only one tail pipe. I haven't trial fitted them on the engine yet because without an achilles tendon on one leg does not allow me to do much. I also have taken a lot of pain killer which makes me woozie but I'm sure I don't have the right exhaust system. Anh #141 (Finish kit on standby)

    --> RV10-List message posted by: "DejaVu" <wvu@mail.ameritel.net> Randy implied that 410RV made a change so I hope that it was for the better. Only thing I can imagine that would improve is better access to the back of the engine. I would like to have a set of install instructions for the Vetterman vice the other one though.

    Tim, Just a lurker but having flown a Sierra, some model years require the pump to be on for takeoff and others don't mention it in the checklist. This precipitated a lengthy discussion on the Musketeer group and after checking it depended on the model year! tom (soon to be an Rver On May 19, 2005, at 1:57 AM, RV10-List Digest Server wrote: > The Beech Sierra is the same way...no fuel pump on except for > starting and emergencies...you'll flood the engine kill > it if you turn it on in the air. > > > Tim Olson -- RV-10 #170 > Current project: Fuselage

    John, Take a look at my photos on Tim's site. WWW.MYRV10.Com. You will see what PPG 1791 looks like. It is very light, dries quick, 20 min. 1 1/2 gal will do the whole plane. Before you prime just wipe clean with Acetone and shoot. Randy -----Original Message-----

    --> RV10-List message posted by: James Ochs <jochs@froody.org> Hi John, Another option is what I am using, the sanchem products. Here's my take on it: http://www.froody.org/html/index.php?module=ContentExpress&file=index&func=display&ceid=1&meid=3 The stuff is very easy to use, easy to clean up and environmentally friendly. There's a few photos of putting it on under the construction photos link on my page. The most time consuming / difficult part about this set of products is the scotchbrite/cleaning step, but that is probably true of all of them. Their site is http://www.sanchem.com, and they have some data on testing they have done vs. alodine and other products.

    Subject: Re: Ready to Prime
    --> RV10-List message posted by: Darton Steve <sfdarton@yahoo.com> If your primer doesn't seal, all you have accomplished is to destroy the ALCLAD surface and cover it with a porous primer coating (like rattle can primer) that will allow moisture nearly direct contact with your now ALCLAD removed part. That seems to me to be an uninformed waste of time and money. An example of a non-sealing primer providing protection for your part would be an aviation zinc primer. The zinc is a sacrificial coating on the outside of your part. Those primers are toxic AND carcinogenic. There is no easy or simple solution. Don't just prime with anything believing you have improved corrosion resistance.

    I would highly highly recommend the Sherwin Williams 988 "rattle can". It works great. Tons of RV builders have used and it sure makes building faster when you don't have to mix. Scott Schmidt (#40111 - Firewall Forward) sschmidt@ussynthetic.com ________________________________

    [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of John Jessen Subject: RV10-List: Ready to Prime Well, the week of the first few customer built RV-10's taking to the air, I'm ready to prime the VS. Only problem is, I am so #$% & confused about what primer to use I'm almost ready to go down to Ace and buy some Rustoleum. Anyway, there appears to be 3 paths, give or take. The first is to use a self etching primer and perhaps do the minimum, the minimum being rivet lines, and leaving the alcad to do its thing. This saves time all around, as well as weight. The second is to use a more traditional priming approach, perhaps variprime, and shoot everything. The third seems to be the most ambitious, and that is to use an epoxy of some type, including a complete pretreatment of either the nasty stuff or the more environmentally friendly stuff, then encase the aluminum forever more using something like AKZO. I guess that I'm going to punt and go with the AKZO, spending the extra time and effort to make sure the moisture and salt air doesn't penetrate, giving up the extra weight and hoping it gives it a better resale value down the road. My question has to do with preparation. I'd rather use something that is as environmentally friendly as possible, but as long as I'm going to all the trouble, I don't want to use something unproven. I realize there are no correct answers, but would very much appreciate any input in terms of either effectiveness given your experience or knowledge of such things, or the ease of preparation and clean up.

    Subject: Weather watch for first flight.
    From: "Randy DeBauw" <Randy@abros.com>
    I know a lot of people are watching the list to see if Friday is the day. Weather is not good today. Tomorrow is suppose to be a little better. I am taking the day off and will be waiting to see what happens. If winds are above 5 kts I will wait till later in the day or fly on Sat. The weekend weather is suppose to be much better with good weather all next week. You can take a look at the airport weather on the internet early in the morning and see what the conditions are. I won't be in a hurry. Bruce is the video camera you have digital of tape? I would like to find someone with a digital for easy transfer to the net. Randy

    Subject: Parking brake / brake bleeding
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Scott Schmidt" <sschmidt@ussynthetic.com> I did. It was really quite simple to install. I still need to order the cable for it. It seems to work great. I have set it overnight and it is still holding in the morning. One thing I would like some help on though is bleeding the brakes. Does anyone know a good procedure out there? I have attached the device on the brake end that attaches the air compressor and causes a vacuum so you don't get any air bubbles and then I have cycled the brakes while someone keeps the reservoir full. I have done this three times now and have gone through about half a gallon of synthetic brake fluid and I keep getting bubbles in the lines you can see between the pilot and copilot. I just think they aren't being worked out. The next thing I am going to try if no one else has any ideas was to create pressure on the reservoir and force the brake fluid through the system to see if I can get the bubbles out. The brakes feel solid though even though even with the bubbles but I am still going to work on getting them out. Any help would be great.

    Subject: FWF Kit - Wrong Exhaust System?
    From: "Scott Schmidt" <sschmidt@ussynthetic.com>
    I talked to both Van's and the guy at Vetterman about this issue. Vetterman says his makes more power and the heat works better as well, and Van's says they both make about the same power but the Aerospace put out way more heat. Going forward I have heard that only the Vetterman will be available. I personally like the look of the Vetterman better. There probably isn't much difference between the two systems considering these engines are turning 2700 RPM's. When I ordered my firewall forward kit I had the option. I don't know if you still do today though. Good luck Randy. Have a blast. Here a couple of pictures comparing the two. http://freedomflyers.com/forums/showthread.php?p172#post172 Scott Schmidt #40111 (FWF) Cell: 801-319-3094 sschmidt@ussynthetic.com ________________________________ From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Tim Dawson-Townsend Subject: RE: RV10-List: FWF Kit - Wrong Exhaust System?

I have the Aerospace something. Vetterman is what Doug Pederson has. I think 410RV has the Vetterman on it now. Randy ________________________________ From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com on behalf of DejaVu Subject: RV10-List: FWF Kit - Wrong Exhaust System? I inventoried my FWF kit today and my Vetterman Exhaust System (IO540) does not look like what the intructions or Randy's pictures show. I have 2 separate heat shrouds each with a tail pipe at one end and a 3-to-1 at the other. Of course there are 2 flanges on the side of each shroud for in/out scat tubes. These shrouds appear to have been made to run longitudinally alongside the induction system. The intructions show one big shroud positioned laterally aft of the induction system with only one tail pipe. I haven't trial fitted them on the engine yet because without an achilles tendon on one leg does not allow me to do much. I also have taken a lot of pain killer which makes me woozie but I'm sure I don't have the right exhaust system. Anh #141 (Finish kit on standby)

    Subject: Re: Parking brake / brake bleeding
    --> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com> My A&P showed me how to bleed brakes on my Beech, and this procedure worked really well for me: 1) Get a good pump type oil can. (A few bucks at an auto parts store) 2) Get some plastic tubing that fits tightly over the bleeder valve 3) Take the lid off your reservoir (Might want to have someone up there watch for it to fill so you don't overflow it) 4) Connect the plastic tubing to the hose end of the oil can, and pump some brake fluid up the tube to the end of the hose. 5) Connect the plastic tubing to the Bleeder valve. 6) Crack the bleeder valve a couple turns and start pumping the fluid up to the reservoir. When you're going to stop pumping to refill the can, shut the bleeder valve tightly first...and don't disconnect the plastic tubing and let any air in. Just add more fluid to the oil can as necessary, and crack the valve and start pumping until you work all the air up to the top. Bubbles like to go UP not down, so that's why this procedure may help you out. After you get the bubbles out, you should have very nice stiff brakes.

If your last sentence is true, then why go through the hassle of priming at all? I was planning on coating the interior with Sherwin Williams 988 self ething primer in the belief that it would indeed improve corrosion resistance, but from what I infer from your post it would be better for me to do nothing, although that intuitively seems wrong to me (just my gut feeling, no data to back it up). Is priming with SW 988 going to make things worse? -Dj

(A few bucks at an auto parts store) 2) Get some plastic tubing that fits tightly over the bleeder valve 3) Take the lid off your reservoir (Might want to have someone up there watch for it to fill so you don't overflow it) 4) Connect the plastic tubing to the hose end of the oil can, and pump some brake fluid up the tube to the end of the hose. 5) Connect the plastic tubing to the Bleeder valve. 6) Crack the bleeder valve a couple turns and start pumping the fluid up to the reservoir. When you're going to stop pumping to refill the can, shut the bleeder valve tightly first...and don't disconnect the plastic tubing and let any air in. Just add more fluid to the oil can as necessary, and crack the valve and start pumping until you work all the air up to the top. Bubbles like to go UP not down, so that's why this procedure may help you out. After you get the bubbles out, you should have very nice stiff brakes.

    Subject: Re: Ready to Prime
    --> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com> Funny how fast primer talk goes 'round in the same circles... ;) Part of that is because the priming issue has so many variables. Some parts are alclad, some aren't, for one. If it isn't alclad, you might want to prime it....and *might* is the key word. Nobody HAS to prime anything at all. The skins, being alclad, are kind of corrosion resistant as is, BUT, if I lived by the salt water, I'd probably still want more. Variprime, and the rattle can primers are nice, etching primers. Etching primers grab nice and well. The only issue is that both of those are not "Sealing" primers. People have great luck with them anyway, however, from what it sounds like. If it isn't a sealing primer though, moisture vapors will make it through. Primers like AKZO, what I'm using, are sealing primers, but not "etching" primers. So the primer doesn't stick (or so they say) to smooth metals like the alclad skins. So, to use Akzo, I scuff my skins with scotchbrite first....that gives the primer something to grab. Unfortunately, it also wears on the alclad surface. Oh well....you just can't win. So to take it to another step, if you really want to go all out, you scuff, etch, and alodine. Then you prime over that with a sealing epoxy primer. I think that ideally, this would be the "Best" corrosion protection you do, but it involves mess, chemicals, time, effor, and more. James Ochs also has that alodine alternative that sounds pretty good and might even make it a nicer experience. I've spoken very reasonably with other builders about their primer choice, and gotten the same advice as everyone will always give when someone inquires about primer. Problem is, there is absolutely no conclusive right or wrong way to do it....again, unless you live in some extremely harsh environment. Anything you do, that isn't all-out alodine thru expoxy, is probably just an attempt at protection that just ends up taking some time. You're probably only marginally different if you use Variprime, rattle cans, Akzo without alodine, Sherwin Williams, or whatever....I really doubt it makes much of a difference. Zinc Chromate is supposed to be a fantastic protection....too bad it's also pretty toxic. There just isn't any real, complete, "win" situation that doesn't involve the tradeoff of extra work.....so, everyone just does what ends up sounding most reasonable to them. One builder I visited tried to protect his skins from scratches, and then he only primed the rivet lines under the ribs, where you deburr and dimple. Sounds real reasonable to me, and costs less and takes less work than priming the whole thing. Me, I started with Alodine and Akzo on most of the parts....skipped the alodine on most of the skins, just scuffed and Akzo'd. For the Fuselage, I'll only aldoine the things that I really feel like doing....not many. If I didn't have a QB fuse, I'd probably do quite a bit more parts with alodine...since they're small. To each, his own. Just weigh your environment, cost, and work concerns, and take a guess.....or, probably better yet, just put post-it's on the wall with the various primer theories and throw a dart....either way, you'll be flying an RV-10 for many, many years.

    Subject: Ready to Prime
    --> RV10-List message posted by: Darton Steve <sfdarton@yahoo.com> Most primers are porous so that the finish coat can mechanically bond to the primer. The finish layer/s of paint seal the finished product. I'm saying either use an aviation type zinc chromate or a primer that doesn't require a top coat or prime AND paint or leave the ALCLAD alone. Otherwise my opinion is that you are doing worse than just wasting your time.

    Subject: Re: Parking brake / brake bleeding
    Bleed the brake system from the bottom up. You can get a nice adapter from Aircraft Spruce that fits on the brake nipple and makes it painless and almost leakproof. I used a 1 gal sprayer from Home Depot to pressurize the system. Remember that any loops in the flex hoses will trap air in the top of the loop, so you may have to bend them horizontal to get all the air out. The other thing you can do is press on the brakes while it's pumping fluid. This makes the bubbles smaller and they will travel with the fluid when you release the brakes and come out in the reservoir. If able, put a fitting into the reservoir with some clear hose on it and route that hose above the cowl where you can see it and then into a clean container and recycle the overflow back into the sprayer.

Tape the 'First Flight' from inside the cockpit? I would suggest some sort of mount that can be seat belted in. Connect the audio up to the intercom?

There are some new self-etching non-corrosive, corrosion resistant rattle can primers out recently. Take a look at this spec sheet from Dupont.

That seems to me to be an uninformed waste of time and money. An example of a non-sealing primer providing protection for your part would be an aviation zinc primer. The zinc is a sacrificial coating on the outside of your part. Those primers are toxic AND carcinogenic. There is no easy or simple solution. Don't just prime with anything believing you have improved corrosion resistance.

    Subject: rattle can primer
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Robert G. Wright" <armywrights@adelphia.net> DJ, My local Sherwin Williams store didn't have it either, as they only carry home paint. However, my local paint supply store had it in the "back," in part of their industrial/commercial stock that they don't put on the retail shelves. Call around to your local commercial paint stores and ask for SW 988. I'm sure you'll find it locally. My first can cost me about $9, but a month later when I went back and got a case (12), I think it was $5-6 per can after bulk discount.

I went to a local Sherwin Williams outlet store in Chapel Hill after work tonight, and was told they do not carry it at that location. I went to Autozone, and found the empty shelf with the label for the Dupli-Color 1690. I went to Walmart and found nothing... *grin* So, I ordered 4 cans of SW 988 from their web store. Should hopefully be here soon. Now I guess I have to learn the best technique for using a spray can - haven't used one in years. Pointy end of the can goes away from you - okay, got it! :-) Thanks again, -Dj

    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Robert G. Wright" <armywrights@adelphia.net> So after getting thoroughly confused after reading all these new primer posts, Should DJ scotchbrite, clean, and then apply SW988, or just clean and apply? I've been scotchbriting so far and putting a decent coat on, but if the consensus of repeat offenders or others well-versed in priming say otherwise, I'll happily save the time spent on it!

Wright" <armywrights@adelphia.net> DJ, My local Sherwin Williams store didn't have it either, as they only carry home paint. However, my local paint supply store had it in the "back," in part of their industrial/commercial stock that they don't put on the retail shelves. Call around to your local commercial paint stores and ask for SW 988. I'm sure you'll find it locally. My first can cost me about $9, but a month later when I went back and got a case (12), I think it was $5-6 per can after bulk discount.

I went to a local Sherwin Williams outlet store in Chapel Hill after work tonight, and was told they do not carry it at that location. I went to Autozone, and found the empty shelf with the label for the Dupli-Color 1690. I went to Walmart and found nothing... *grin* So, I ordered 4 cans of SW 988 from their web store. Should hopefully be here soon. Now I guess I have to learn the best technique for using a spray can - haven't used one in years. Pointy end of the can goes away from you - okay, got it! :-) Thanks again, -Dj

Uh, scotchbrite? I was just going to clean the parts and spray them. Of course, my next question - what is the best thing to clean the parts with? Acetone? Yeah, I'm a newbie, but I'm having fun! I've decided, for better or for worse, that I am going to spray everything with the SW 988 primer. Completely psychological, but I'll just "feel" better seeing a coat of primer on everything. -Dj

Actually, I noticed when I placed the order on the web that they give you a choice of where to ship it from, and there is a branch in Raleigh, NC that carries the SW 988. In a pinch I suppose I could drive down and get some, but probably just as easy to have them ship it to me. I found a couple of cans of the Martin Senour 7220 at a local NAPA, which is the same thing as SW 988, and that should last me until my order of SW 988 arrives in a few days. When I get down to a can or two, I'll just order a bunch more. At least, that sounds rational on the surface... *grin* -Dj

    From: "Greg Young" <gyoung@cs-sol.com>
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Greg Young" <gyoung@cs-sol.com> DJ Many repeat offenders elect to not prime at all. But clean and spray is fine with self-etching primers. I've switched to denatured alcohol for almost all cleaning. It works as well as acetone but won't hurt you unless you drink it. I still keep acetone and MEK around for special cases but feel much better using alcohol considering how many gallons flash off during cleaning.
