| Subject: | Weather watch for first flight. |
A buddy of mine has been doing videos for years. A number of years ago
we had to shoot some video of the ground from the window of a 172. my
buddy sat in the back seat and we shot footage for 20 minutes or so of a
stream in central Wyoming. The video turned out great. It's just a
really cheap steady cam. Anyway, got my wings last week and and
immediately started dry fitting the fuel tanks. I keep hearing how they
are a real pain in the neck, so I decided to get them out of the way
first. I'm really happy for the success of your first and subsequent
lights. May everyone building have the same.

Never hear that one. I will first try the tripod method. After all this
is an RV10 the smoothest airplane in the air. Well sort of. Randy

Randy,
This might sound surprising, but you can put a beach ball in the
back seat and tie down the camera on top of it. If you tie it down
correctly, the beach ball is big enough, and it is pointed just right,
you should get some great shots that should be vibration free. It's
cheap and affective. Good luck.

Randy,
Any possibility of mounting a camera in the back seats looking over your
shoulder (middle of the cabin). 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? Would be good documentation and
give the rest of us following your lead somehting to really drool over!

| Subject: | Engine Mount Ears |
This has me wondering also since I also have a rebuilt engine. There
are two part numbers shown in my parts manual (narrow deck): 70456 &
12A19770. Looks like 70456 is used much more widely than the other. It
also appears that several engines including the IO-540-C4B5, O-540-B4B5
& E4B5 could be configured with either. Unfortunately the parts manual
doesn't show any detail in the description, just "BRACKET, Engine
mounting (Dynafocal)". FWIW, the IO-540-D4A5 (N410RV engine) is only
shown with 70456.
I'll have to check my engine tonight - I assume that there's a part
number stamped on the actual ears.

Unfortunately I have long since jettisoned the ears that came with the
engine and the Skybolt was sold about 6 years ago to make way for the
RV-6 (this building airplanes thing can become habit forming!). I don't
remember which model I needed, but I would just confirm with Van's what
then engine mount is designed for. I know the 2-seaters are set up for
a Dynafocal 1 mount but I don't know for sure if the 540s use the same
designations.
Good Luck,

I used a similar engine (from an Aztec) on my Skybolt and had the same

I'd try one of the salvage places before I'd buy a new set. Wentworth
supposedly has a ton of stuff, but I can't seem to get them to respond

We bought a TBO engine off an Aztec and had it rebuilt. We were working

I got an IO-540 C4B5 off an Aztec. Van's said that they have just found out
that there is an issue with this and don't have any immediate plans to make
an engine mount for the other version. That's a little disappointing.

Here's the answer from one who knows. Hr2pilot is John Harmon himself. Don't have

The Rocket uses the 17 degree ears because of the extended hub propeller, the 10
uses the compact hub so the 30 degree ears are what should be used.

John, it seems the RV-10 builders are having a problem with the "ear" engine mounts
on IO-540's. Can you be of assistance as I'm sure this problem has come up
before with HRII guys. HRII N561FS, "Jack"

Rob, you're head looks great!
Awesome seeing the air-to-air video. All of us on the ground (well, at least my
wife and I) had a little wish to be up there!
Randy, any chance you might be out at the hanger (Aurora or Lenhardt's) this evening?
I have a little disk to give you... If you won't, I'll leave it on the
counter at Lenhardt's with your name on it. Jack says that's a common way for
all of us out there to pass items of interest to each other when we're not
around to do it in person.
Well done!

Random thoughts to consider/ponder.
In John Harmon's response he tied the prop extension size to the type of
airframe.
I'm not an engineer but I would think LYC would have used only one type of
ear (cheaper to make & stock) and have the motor mount manufactured to fit.
UNLESS the thrust line (or something else) dictated the use of two totally
different mount angles. (ears)
Bottom line: Don't modify the engine mount to the "fit" ears. Replace the
ears with the proper ones.
HRII N561FS KABONG But that's just my opinion.
Note: I did not "d0 n0t arch1ve" but did trim prior posts.

The Rocket uses the 17 degree ears because of the extended hub propeller,
the 10 uses the compact hub so the 30 degree ears are what should be used.

LOL!!! We are at the exact same spot and I just came in to ask the exact same
question. I figure that a no-hole yoke might do it, but unfortunately I don't
have one yet. Any ideas that doesn't involve a no-hole?

Hi all,
I'm working on the rudder and trying to figure out how to get a solid rivet
in the last hole (towards the trailing edge) on the right side skin on the bottom
rib (the one with the rudder control horn attached). It says in the plans
to use a blind rivet on the left side only. Even my thinnest bucking bar won't
get in there without pushing the rivet out of the hole, and forget getting
a squeezer in there. Is there any reason to not just pop a blind rivet in there
on both sides and appease my OCD desire for symmetry?
Thanks,

We're in luck. After 30 hours or so of uploading, I got the video from
bruce and was able to convert it into both a VCD compatible MPEG
thats about 80Mb in size, and a .wmv Windows Media Player compatible
video that's pretty comparable quality that's only 18Mb in size.
They're both available on Randy's page at:
http://www.myrv10.com/N610RV/index.html
To download them, I suggest right-clicking the links and choosing
"save as" or "save link as" and saving them right to your PC
for playback.
I'm also processing a DVD quality MPEG2 for the hardcore people with
bandwidth to spare. Most people will be plenty happy of the .wmv
file though.
After a couple days I'll pull the plug on the DVD and VCD versions
since I don't own the bandwidth they're being sent from.

Hi All,
I know this has been discussed before but I couldn't find any definitive
solutions in the previous posts... I'd prefer capacitance fuel senders
to floats for my 10, and as I'm getting ready to order the wings I'm
trying to figure out what to do about it. Has anyone put any in their 10
yet? Any ideas? Should I just go with one of the probe type with the
concentric tubes as opposed to waiting for the plates for the 10? Anyone
heard from vans recently on this issue?
Thanks,
James

There are two size/shape/use items that bolt on the LYC 540 engines. These
items are the "ears" that the motor mounts attach the engine to the firewall
engine mount. They kinda look like the Omega signs with the bottom closed
in. They come for use in two totally different installation configurations
but both types just bolt on. John Harmon (HRI, II, III fame) advised that
the HRII uses the one with 17 degree "ears". There are more than 100 HRII's
flying so I think he knows what he's taking about. No, that's wrong, I'm
positive he knows what he's talking about.
John is famous for very short & very to the point answers. This is the
longest e-mail quote I've ever gotten from him.
Bottom line: Ya can't mount a 540 with the 17 degree ears on an RV-10 'cause
the firewall engine mount is designed for the 30 degree "ears". Refer to
today's other posts for further information and part numbers.
'The Rocket uses the 17 degree ears because of the extended hub
propeller, the 10 uses the compact hub so the 30 degree ears are what should
be used. John"
There are several posts on this subject in the past few days. Most were not
Do Not Archive nor trimmed.
