James,
Last time I talked to Vans they said they might have the capacitance gauges near
the end of the year. I have built my fuel tanks but did not completely close
them off. I did not rivet the rear spar in place yet. According to Vans if
the rear spar is not in place you should be able to install the capacitance senders.

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

Question: Why use capacitance over float? Other than some degree of
accuracy? Why not go with something more fool proof, such as a dip stick?
Then use fuel flow? In short, wouldn't floats be "accurate enough?" Read
that as accurate enough to indicate full, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 and empty?

--> RV10-List message posted by: "Jesse Saint" <jesse@itecusa.org>
The issue is that not all IO-540's have the same mounting brackets (ears,
bosses, legs, "whatever name you prefer for them"). Van's website says that
any parallel valve IO-540 will work, which is right, but some of them will
need new ears to fit their engine mount. They just realized that this was
an issue that some customers will have to work out. I guess they have never
done anything with an IO-540 until now, and since so few of their customers
for the -10 have engines mounted, they didn't find out about the ear issue
until recently.
Does that help? I found a set for $400 already tested and painted, but I
spent all morning calling around the country to find them. It seems that
the large-hole ears are more plentiful than the small-hole ones, which is
what we need. It would be nice if they would make another engine mount
option for these other mounts. It would not take much engineering to modify
the angle of the mount holes. The bigger ears would provide more "cushion"
for the engine, as seems to be the consensus of all the people I talked to.
I would much rather the need to pick which engine mount I need than to have
to modify my engine.
Well, that's my rant for today. Time to get the plane scuffed for the paint
shop this afternoon. It's coming together! Oshkosh here we come (knock on
wood).

My (limited) experience with float sensors has pretty much been in
Cessna's and my conclusion is that it's probably better not to have fuel
gauges at all. They stick, they read the wrong values, they move around
so much that the reading is pretty much useless. If the tank is too full
they read empty (this is a behaviour I've noticed in the post 2000
models they have at my local FBO). All kinds of stupid. I think they
took it to heart when the FAA said the only place it needs to be
accurate is at 0 (which is pretty dumb if you ask me)
When I get to the point of putting together my tanks, panel and engine
there will be fuel flow / totalizer all that good stuff + fuel gauges. I
also generally dip the tanks if there is any question about how much
fuel is in there on a visual inspection because I am really anal about
fuel... I also tend to be a bit obsessive-compulsive about measuring
devices... if it ain't accurate, whats the point?
But that's just me ;)
BTW, I emailed vans about the plates for the -10 and they said:
they are in the engineering 'hopper' at this time but we don't have a
definitive target date. I'd guess at least a couple months. van's

For various reasons, we're going to have a 24 V bus system in our -10, which can
be a pain sometimes, like with the 12 V flap motor.
For the short duration that the Flap motor runs, what about the crazy idea of just
going ahead and running that sucker on 24 volts? Might speed up the Flap
deployment, too. Or is that just a stupid way to burn out the motor?
While we're on the subject, is anyone doing a simple limit-switch "one-touch" flap
retraction arrangement? Where are you mounting the limit switch? On the
flaps themselves, or is there any way to do it on the flap motor or actuator assembly?

I decided to go with totalizers, and not put senders in the tanks. After a
short learning session, they will be more accurate than either type of fuel

Just finished the Vertical Stab! 29 hours, which included rattle can
priming. Is it just me or does it always take longer to rivet than you
think? I figured that would be one of the faster parts of the build, but
just the VS took me a full 10 hours to rivet. Maybe I just needed a steep
learning curve on technique.
Oh, I also contacted my local EAA Tech Counselor last Friday, and met him at
a local Fly-in on Saturday. I wanted to establish contact with a TC and get
my work on the VS looked at before I closed it up. He said good to go and
we filled out the form. As a side note, he told me that if you get at least
3 TC inspections done during the course of your build, EAA's insurance
program will cover you on first flight (I guess provided you get the
coverage; it's not automatic), and he recommended that RVs only need 5-6
inspections during build. I assume some of you know this and may be able to
expound some. I thought it a good idea to share with the rest of us in the
early stages to get plugged in. It also helps to have that second set of
experienced eyes looking over your work!

The mount type is determined by the engine you have. All current engines
should use the newer boss mount. The case mount is only for very old style
engines. The boss mount bolts onto a flat machined area on the case on the
lower right forward side of the case. There are two or three holes tapped
into this machined area that you bolt the bracket onto. The older 'case'
mount uses the case through bolts to attach the alternator bracket. Look in
Van's parts catalog and you will see a picture of their alternator kit. It
is for boss mount only. If unsure, talk to B&C. Herman

They are more accurate, no moving parts. I perfer a dip stick check anyhow,
several builders I have talked to are planning on using a fuel totalizer
system anyhow. That's my plan along with the good ol' floats as a back up.
I'll still pop the caps and look inside prior to flight.Old habit are hard

All,
A bit more info - I just checked my engine - mount ears are 70456, have
a hole ID of ~1.3 inches and are 30 degrees. According to an earlier
post from somebody that knows more than me, these are the correct ones
for the Van's engine mount. For those that aren't so lucky, I saw a set
of 4 ears on ebay (listing #4551583279). New price is almost $300
each!!!

Thanks for the note back Jesse! You gave me a great reason to call
Aerosport and check on the progress of my engine. Now I can make
sure they get it right the first time. I'm assuming that these ears
are standard that when you buy a rebuilt, they come with them....
hopefully.

The difference is in the engine cases. The case mount uses a bracket that uses
the case flange connecting bolts to secure it. The boss mount has a cast-in pad/boss
with studs to mount the bracket. The brackets are obviously different.
This may be another distinction between narrow and wide deck engines as my narrow
deck O-360 had a case mount. The 540's have narrow and wide deck versions
too. The boss type is the newer and preferred style.
Greg
________________________________
Browsing around, what's the difference between "case mount" and "boss mount" alternators?
And is there a difference between different IO-540 models, or are
they all one or the other?

The video turned out great. Its 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. Im 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.

If it is raining first thing in the morning as predicted then I may have
time. That would be cool. Randy

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!
