    Subject: Dent in HS skin
    From: matronix.rv10@4sythe.com
    I would apply some pressure from the inside using a rounded block of wood (that matches the contour of the skin, then use the rivet gun on about 20lbs of pressure with a mushroom set on the outside. I would go easy on the trigger. I've used this method to take the bend out of ribs that got caught by the scotchbrite wheel and have a flange bent out of shape. For those, it works like a champ and seems like it would be fine on a skin also as long as you apply plenty of pressure to the inside and don't over "pound" it.

    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Condrey, Bob (US SSA)" <bob.condrey@baesystems.com> Tim, The Airflow pump and filter can just be ordered from Van's, everything needed to mount them is in the fuselage kit. The Flo-Scan comes with whatever engine monitor you decide to go with. I was able to "pre-order" mine, similar to the AP servos. Also, turns out that there's actually several different models of the fuel flow sensor and they're somewhat interchangeable. I ordered mine from Advanced Flight Systems and they actually provide a unit made by JPI. I think cost was about $200 and it's deductible from the engine monitor price when that's ordered. Can't help much more, we're at almost exactly the same point but I skipped ahead and did the brake and fuel system plumbing a few days ago.

    Subject: Wires and Things for the Tail
    From: "Doerr, Ray R [NTK]" <Ray.R.Doerr@mail.sprint.com>
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Doerr, Ray R [NTK]" <Ray.R.Doerr@mail.sprint.com> I'm starting to think about what needs to be routed to the tail before I close up the right baggage side wall. I've already closed up the baggage floor pans which have 3/4" conduit running under them up each side. I figure this will be used for the #2 Starter Cable. I hope to leave the other one open for future and run the rest under the right baggage side panel. Here is a list of what I can think of right now. If I've missed anything, please let me know. 1. #2 Wire from Master Solenoid to Firewall Mounted Starter Solenoid. 2. #18 Master Solenoid wire to engage Solenoid. 3. Shielded Power wire for Strobe Power Supply mounted in Tail. 4. Shielded Strobe wire for Left Wing. 5. Shielded Strobe wire for Right Wing. 6. Marker Beacon Antenna wire. Mounted between battery mount ribs. 7. Tail Nav Light power wire. 8. Static Line Tubing. 9. RJ-11 wire for Remote Panel of the ELT. 10. 5 - #22 or #24 wires for Elevator Trim Servo. 11. Elevator Autopilot wires. Thank You Ray Doerr 40250

    From: "Condrey, Bob (US SSA)" <bob.condrey@baesystems.com>
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Condrey, Bob (US SSA)" <bob.condrey@baesystems.com> Tim, They all install with -6D flared fittings. I had ordered a few extra AN818-6D and AN819-6D when I swapped to an Andair valve so I'm not sure if the kit comes with exactly the right number or not. I would take the advice of a few others and install the fuel lines from the valve to the tanks with an AN815-6D union fitting below the seats. This is much easier than getting the long piece of 3/8" tubing bent just right and through the maze. Electrically the AFP pump is a two wire connection with one being ground. Pump only has a few inches of wire so you'll need to either install a connector or splices. The fuel flow sensor that I've got has a shielded three wire connection and came with insulated spade lugs installed on about a 12" pigtail.

    Subject: Rudder Pedal Bolt issue?
    --> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com> Randy, I heard there was an inspection issue with some bolts in relation to the rudder pedals and you corrected it. Can you elaborate? I'll be starting that area shortly and may as well do it right the first time. Also, if you have time to do a step-by-step write-up of the registration / inspection / certification process with any listed forms and links you think people should have, I'll be happy to post that on my page so as questions come up, we can point people there and save answering it 400 more times. :) Tim -- Tim Olson -- RV-10 #170 Current project: Fuselage

    --> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com> Ray, I can add a couple of possibilities to that list: 12. AHRS wires 13. Transponder Antenna Wire (possibly) 14. Baggage area lighting power 15. One I hope to some day add.....a vent and blower motor for on-the-ground cabin airflow. (need power wires) I'm also planning to run both a #2 power and #2 ground wire from the tail to the firewall. I want to have a single-point ground on the firewall for all items, and that run directly to the battery.

    Subject: Wires and Things for the Tail
    From: "Condrey, Bob (US SSA)" <bob.condrey@baesystems.com>
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Condrey, Bob (US SSA)" <bob.condrey@baesystems.com> Ray, A little more info and a couple comments: - The TruTrak pitch servo calls for (2) #20 and (7) #22 wires. - You may need an always hot battery bus wire (#20). - I don't believe that the power to the strobe power supply needs to be shielded. My Whelen unit just has unshielded wire for that connection. The actual high voltage strobe lines are however shielded. - I've got my MB antenna in a wingtip, but the transponder antenna is near the battery mount ribs. - Bob N on the AeroElectric list recommends running the battery ground forward to a single point grounding block on the firewall. It connects to a brass bolt that feeds through to the engine block ground strap. FWIW, I decided to stick a couple 3/4" conduit runs behind the right baggage wall as cheap and lightweight insurance.

I've already closed up the baggage floor pans which have 3/4" conduit running under them up each side. I figure this will be used for the #2 Starter Cable. I hope to leave the other one open for future and run the rest under the right baggage side panel. Here is a list of what I can think of right now. If I've missed anything, please let me know. 1. #2 Wire from Master Solenoid to Firewall Mounted Starter Solenoid. 2. #18 Master Solenoid wire to engage Solenoid. 3. Shielded Power wire for Strobe Power Supply mounted in Tail. 4. Shielded Strobe wire for Left Wing. 5. Shielded Strobe wire for Right Wing. 6. Marker Beacon Antenna wire. Mounted between battery mount ribs. 7. Tail Nav Light power wire. 8. Static Line Tubing. 9. RJ-11 wire for Remote Panel of the ELT. 10. 5 - #22 or #24 wires for Elevator Trim Servo. 11. Elevator Autopilot wires. Thank You Ray Doerr 40250

Are you drilling dedicated holes for the conduit or are you using existing holes and just securing the conduit in place? I'm not to this step yet but I know I'll have to do the same when I get there.

    Subject: Rudder Trailing Edge
    From: "Randy DeBauw" <Randy@abros.com>
    You can turn it over and put small shim under the ends so you are pushing the bow down to the rivet plate on the table. Then lightly work the rivets in that area. I had the same problem but it came out perfect the a little pro-active riveting. Don't be afraid to rivet a little on one side then flip it over on the other, each time only slightly driving the rivet. Randy ________________________________ From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Shawn Moon Subject: RV10-List: Rudder Trailing Edge For all those who used the proseal method for the trailing edge, what do you do if you start to develop a slight bow? I started developing a bow in the bottom 12 inches of the rudder, but I think the repeated warnings in the plans has me spooked a little so I don't think it is all that bad. Before I go on setting the rest of the rivets (I only have about half of them half way set) I would like to know what to do to correct it. Thanks for your thoughts. --Shawn 40366 ________________________________ Stay connected, organized, and protected. Take the tour <http://tour.mail.yahoo.com/mailtour.html>

    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Doerr, Ray R [NTK]" <Ray.R.Doerr@mail.sprint.com> Thanks for your replies. I have added the Hot Battery for stuff like clocks etc and the extra #2 for single point ground. As for Transponder antenna, I had mine in the tail of my RV-9A, but that length of cable is not recommended because of the high loss of the signal at 1090 Mhz. The Garmin install manual states "The maximum coaxial cable attenuation at 1090Mhz must not exceed 1.5 dB. It states the maximum length for RG400 is 8.8 feet. It is even less for RG58AU. So I would recommend against mounting the Transponder antenna in the tail. I was planning to mount mine in the tunnel just ahead of the fuel vale. I will decide for sure once I have the brake and fuel lines in place.

    That's one. You will have more. You can get something like a piece of wood shaped like the nose area. Use it as a backer and try to flatten it out. The problem is that the alum is stretched now and you will use some bondo or JB weld to flatten and fill it. This is normal to have happen. Don't worry about it and move on.

    Subject: Rudder Pedal Bolt issue?
    From: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com> I am sure Randy will jump in here (As the Builder/Owner/Pilot) but I will offer what I heard Mike say (as the fly on the wall) during the DAR inspection of N610RV. The rudder cable attachment hardware has the bolt running from the centerline outboard, on each of the inner rudder pedals. That places the castellated nuts and safety pins (outboard) towards either a pilot or co-pilots footwear. Mike was concerned the pin would snag the occupant's footwear, break and allow loss of pin and eventual loss of safety. Reversing the bolt direction was unacceptable as the clearance to the tunnel was too minimal. He wanted that event of snagging eliminated with final approval. Randy can illuminate how he solved the observation. There were several acceptable techniques discussed. I have not looked closely at N410RV or N220RV but will do so.

    Subject: Rudder Trailing Edge
    From: "Scott Schmidt" <sschmidt@ussynthetic.com>
    I followed the plans exactly like Van's says. I also had a little bit of bowing before all the rivets had been set. But as you start to finish the rivets it will start to straighten back out. Be careful not to over hit the rivets though. But if you do you can simply flip the rudder over and start to hit it on the other side using the mushroom set in the rivet gun and work it until it is perfectly straight. I was really amazed at how straight the edges came out.

I started developing a bow in the bottom 12 inches of the rudder, but I think the repeated warnings in the plans has me spooked a little so I don't think it is all that bad.

    Subject: Rudder Trailing Edge
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Jim Combs" <jimc@mail.infra-read.com> An alternate method for riveting the trailing edges. I purchased a flat set and ground them to the proper angle of the trailing edge. Then used the hand squeezer to set the rivets. Things to note: You can't set the hand squeezer to an exact depth but you can get a good idea of what the rivet is doing during the squeeze. Also, the sets can rotate, so you might want to mark both sides so you can make sure they are rotated in alignment before starting the squeeze. I chose to alternate the finish rivet head from one side to side. The results were straight edges and good looking rivets. The skins are so thin that I was just afraid to take a rivet gun to them. You need to get comfortable doing this because the ailerons and flaps have the same trailing edge method of assembly. Those are thin skins and the TE material is not very wide.

I was wondering if anyone that has flown one of the RV-10's has thought that it needed a means of rudder trim? After flying 4.2 hrs XC yesterday it occurred to me that stepping on the ball during climbout gets old after a while, and I like the Cessna 182 rudder rim wheel so you can center the ball once climb is established and you're not so busy. Not sure if anyone would notice this in a quick demo flight, but by now I'm sure Randy would know! John Kirkland #40333

    Subject: Construction Insurance for a Student Pilot/Builder
    I received my RV-10 QB wings and fuse a couple weeks ago. A lot of "what ifs" plagued my sleep since, so today I telephoned around to check the price and availability of builders' insurance. As a student pilot and a first-time RV builder, I am finding that there are some unique aspects to aviation insurance and builders' policies. I hope some of the folks who have been around a while can provide some pointers for a novice. I called three organizations -- AVEMCO, EAA and USAA Insurance (they cover my home) here is what I found: AVEMCO: I was surprised that AVEMCO is misinformed about the RV-10. Their representative insisted the -10 is a retractable gear aircraft, "because it says so in the notes". I've been told there are only 7 or 8 aviation insurance companies, and only a few write builder insurance. Since there are well over 400 RV-10 kits under construction, it is surprising that one of the companies writing builders' policies is misinformed about the -10. It didn't matter because AVEMCO is not interested in covering my RV-10 -- regardless of the type of gear. AVEMCO doesn't insure student pilot / builders since they feel it is unlikely they will have the requisite hours (300?) when the aircraft is completed to qualify to be insured by AVEMCO. Just guessing, but the build time for an RV-10 is likely to be the order of 2 or 3 years for a dedicated weekend builder, and perhaps longer for most. I'm flying an about of 3 hours a week, and if I stay at half that pace for 2+ years I'll have between 150 and 200 -- time enough to get my IFR ticket and transition into the -10, but still not enough for AVEMCO. EAA: I contacted EAA Insurance and a very friendly agent provided me with a quote for $40K of builders risk coverage. A friend suggested I inquire about something called a component endorsement. Evidently, you must have receipts for your QB kit, or only 40% of the value of the policy is applied towards the airframe. Even if the receipts burned wit the house, Vans could produce supporting documentation, so not an issue. $40K policy, $400 per year and 1% of the value for additional coverage. USAA: I contacted USAA, a company I have been doing business with for over 25 years, to see if they would cover my QB kit under my homeowners policy. The answer was no. But, to my surprise, USAA is also an aviation insurance broker was able provided a quote from USAIG for a builders' policy in about 30 minutes. $460 for $40K of builders insurance.

    Subject: Construction Insurance for a Student Pilot/Builder
    From: "Randy DeBauw" <Randy@abros.com>
    What is the price when you have an engine sitting there and with the QB you are into 80k of value? I had insurance that included 92k builders cov. and transportation to the airport coverage through AIG. It cost just under 1000.00 per year. Just for info purposes. Randy ________________________________ From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of quinn.talley@cox.net Subject: RV10-List: Construction Insurance for a Student Pilot/Builder I received my RV-10 QB wings and fuse a couple weeks ago. A lot of "what ifs" plagued my sleep since, so today I telephoned around to check the price and availability of builders' insurance. As a student pilot and a first-time RV builder, I am finding that there are some unique aspects to aviation insurance and builders' policies. I hope some of the folks who have been around a while can provide some pointers for a novice. I called three organizations -- AVEMCO, EAA and USAA Insurance (they cover my home) here is what I found: AVEMCO: I was surprised that AVEMCO is misinformed about the RV-10. Their representative insisted the -10 is a retractable gear aircraft, "because it says so in the notes". I've been told there are only 7 or 8 aviation insurance companies, and only a few write builder insurance. Since there are well over 400 RV-10 kits under construction, it is surprising that one of the companies writing builders' policies is misinformed about the -10. It didn't matter because AVEMCO is not interested in covering my RV-10 -- regardless of the type of gear. AVEMCO doesn't insure student pilot / builders since they feel it is unlikely they will have the requisite hours (300?) when the aircraft is completed to qualify to be insured by AVEMCO. Just guessing, but the build time for an RV-10 is likely to be the order of 2 or 3 years for a dedicated weekend builder, and perhaps longer for most. I'm flying an about of 3 hours a week, and if I stay at half that pace for 2+ years I'll have between 150 and 200 -- time enough to get my IFR ticket and transition into the -10, but still not enough for AVEMCO. EAA: I contacted EAA Insurance and a very friendly agent provided me with a quote for $40K of builders risk coverage. A friend suggested I inquire about something called a component endorsement. Evidently, you must have receipts for your QB kit, or only 40% of the value of the policy is applied towards the airframe. Even if the receipts burned wit the house, Vans could produce supporting documentation, so not an issue. $40K policy, $400 per year and 1% of the value for additional coverage. USAA: I contacted USAA, a company I have been doing business with for over 25 years, to see if they would cover my QB kit under my homeowners policy. The answer was no. But, to my surprise, USAA is also an aviation insurance broker was able provided a quote from USAIG for a builders' policy in about 30 minutes. $460 for $40K of builders insurance. Before I pull the trigger, and sign up with either EAA Insurance or USAIG, does anyone have personal experience with either company, or both to share?

When I spoke with them they told me two things: 1) there are only two companies underwriting RV-10s currently 2) wait until you purchase the wings to get builders insurance because of the cost to benefit ratio unless you really want to have insurance right now. As a student pilot you can get any of their ground coverages, but not inflight coverage. James quinn.talley@cox.net wrote: > I received my RV-10 QB wings and fuse a couple weeks ago.

    From: "Randy DeBauw" <Randy@abros.com>
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Randy DeBauw" <Randy@abros.com> Well as far as the factory is concerned it is normal procedure. I think that the reasoning is that the less time on the ground the less wear and tear on the you tires and equipment. I have not decided if flaps are the best or not. I have been using 10 deg. to this point most of the time. This plane really jumps off without flaps. As you can imagine with 10 deg you are airborne right away.

    Subject: Re: Rudder Trim
    --> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com> From what I understand, the worst antennas would be something that is round and in the airstream. If you have an antenna with an airfoil shaped or boat type cross section to the wind, it should have less drag. That being the case, the bent whips have an airfoil shaped base, and the wire's pretty darn thin. I'd be guessing that if you lost 2kts on a pair of bent whip coms, that would be more than I'd even expect....but I don't know any supporting facts to prove that. All I can say is that I'd much rather lose the 2kts than the com signal. If the penalty were that much, we should be worried about all sorts of other little things too such as the door handles, hinge bolts, and stuff like that.

    --> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com> I'm not sure what you mean...I think you meant to prevent it from NOT being archived, right....you wanted to CAUSE it to archive....? If so, you just want to make sure that "do not archive" doesn't appear anywhere in the message....including the prior post. I noticed that you said to reverse this "do not archive", but by saying that, it would also cause it to not archive. So, if you want things to be long-term retrievable, don't put that on the message, or, if you have to say it without spelling it, you could substitute zeros for "oh's" and 1's for I's....that should stop it. The only reason to "do not archive" is to prevent junk from filling the archives to keep them searchable. Thank goodness we have plenty of "do not archive" statements in this post, eh? :) Tim Mark wrote: > > Whoa. Reverse this "do not archive" this very minute. Which I just > > did.

    Thanks for all the info. I only have one problem. We kept going after the skin was damaged. (This is the first good build session I've had for over a month so I didn't want to quit). We riveted the front spar to the nose ribs so now access to the inside of the skin is gone. It's not very many rivets to remove so I can do that pretty easily, but, is it necessary or can the dent be fixed later. I'm not trying to get around fixing it now if that's what needs to be done, but if it can be done later in the finishing stages then I'll wait.

I will probably remove the skin and fix it - but it would have been simpler before I zipped up the whole skin.

    <009d01c56724$99418a20$0500000a@britton> Had a similar problem with the leading wing edge of HRII. I found a small brass headed hammer at the local Ace Hardware. It was in a bucket at checkout. Flat (slight convex) smooth face with kind of rounded/pointed on the other end. Tried "dry ice" method to draw it back, No Joy. The hammer has three screwdrivers in the handle that fit into each other. "tapped" out most of the dent with it. Took it very slow & very easy over two years. Tap, tap, tap. Not sure of -10's HS skin thickness. But on N561FS unless I point it out, you wouldn't find it.
