Is anyone currently flying their RV-10 with the Alternator
provided in Van's Firewall Forward kit? I am trying to decide if I
should delete it from the kit and buy one else where or just use the one
from this kit. Van's has the 60 Amp internal regulated one with the
kit, but I don't know what model or quality of it. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thank You

I'd love to hear the answer as well. I know Ray last asked regarding
the Aerosport provided alternator. I'm currently in the same
predicament. I've decided not to use the Van's alternator, but
either a B&C or the Aerosport 80A that I'd get with my engine.
I either need to decide before OSH if I want the aerosport,
since my engine will be delivered there, or I can delay it and
talk to B&C at OSH, as that will be one of my final purchases.
This question was raised on the Aeroelectric list as well, but
not a whole lot of constructive comments on these alternators
showed up.
Ray, which way are you leaning if you don't hear anything?
I'm totally torn between the aerosport and the B&C. I'm
tending to lean towards the Aerosport though, since I think
I'll add a 20A B&C backup alternator as well. With my
lightspeed ignition, I want to have constant power to that.
Also would like to keep a few good things alive during an
alternator failure.

Hey Tim,
Which parts did you all get besides the 60A and 20A alternators?
Did you buy the OV module and anything else? How much did the
whole schebang set you back? I'm considering ordering the identical
setup.

--> RV10-List message posted by: "John Jessen" <jjessen@rcn.com>
Just a note to encourage everyone, even repeat offenders, to get an EAA
Technical Advisor visit early and often. I just had one and was very
impressed with the information I picked up. It wasn't even like going to
the dentist, which is what I had anticipated.
It turned out to be a show and tell, of course, but also more of a
discussion of techniques and approaches to certain tasks and problems. The
fresh eyes on the project also spotted a few details that I'd not noticed.
I'm a pretty capable builder, but now am much more so.
I've also heard that it helps to have on file the documentation that comes
with such a visit.
Anyway... thanks, Dan!

Hi all!
I've just put a deposit on the wing kit since the lead time was
showing on Van's website to be 15 weeks (Although I got a letter saying
it will be shipped August 8th.. They must have caught up) and I have the
following questions:
What advantages/disadvantages are there between Van's wingtip lights
and the Duckworks kit? I'm thinking of going HIDs, but I have not made
up my mind yet. If you order without landing lights from Van's, do you
get the same wingtip that comes with the lights? Is there a spot for
nav/strobes?
Things are progressing very fast; I'm at about 80 hours into it, and
am ready to do final assembly on the horizontal stabilizer (even though
I Alumiprep, Alodine, Prime w/epoxy primer and work alone).

| Subject: | Alternator provided in Van's Firewall Forward Kit. |
After talking to many people at SNF, I decided to switch to the B&C.
According to B&C, the Van's alternator is a rebuilt automotive
alternator that costs around $150. The B&C is $600. Now that doesn't
always mean quality but it usually does. Also, B&C said that their
voltage / amp controller will not work with the Van's alternator. They
have had problems in the past. Since I am going to have a two battery,
single alternator system, I felt it was worth the extra money for the
B&C. Id does look a nicer

| Subject: | QB Documentation question |
Roger,
I'm still waiting on the wings, Vans had a fuselage there were ready to
ship so I accepted that first. As for where to start, I'm still working on
that. I defer to Tim Olson and his website (myrv10.com) for
recommendations. What I have learned so far was to remove all the temp
rivets (be careful, not all the pop rivets are temporary, I think I removed
a few I didn't need to) and then start at the front of the manual and
identify what's already been done. So far pretty straight forward, although
I haven't done much yet. You might want to search the archives for QB
fuselage also, I had the same question on where to start and received a few
answers.

Thank you, Marcus. You were right, manuals were under the aft end of the
fuselage. We finished the inventory in about 2 hours! Very pleased with the
quality and amount of the QB. Did you start the wings next? What page did
you start on?

Subject: RE: RV10-List: QB Documentation question
My QB fuselage arrived only 2 weeks ago and I already am forgetting the
answer, but I think the manual was in the box that is hidden under the aft
part of the fuselage. One thing looking in that box that didn't settle in
right away is that there weren't too many parts that needed to be dealt
with. After a slow build RV-6 (non-prepunched) and most of a slow build
RV-7 I couldn't stop smiling at all that's been done.

I just received my QB fuselage and wings. They came in three boxes. It's

Hi Jim,
You get the same wingtips regardless of your choice in landing
lights.....the lights of all types are just an option that
is ordered separately. Same goes for Nav lights.
The advantages of the standard lights are:
Cheap & Readily available
No holes to cut in aluminum
The advantages of HID's are:
Much brighter (by about 3x)
Cooler operation
Much longer life (no filament)
Much less current draw (35W each as opposed to 75)
The Duckworks kit is also available as a non-HID....
you mount the same kit, but use either a rectangular
auto-style bulb, which can then be halogen or standard,
or you can use a round aviation bulb in various
power levels. This gives you the opportunity to
install standard lights up front, but just swap the
bulb and add the ballast at a later date for the HID's.
The hole cutting in the wing is not very complicated,
actually. I have a full write-up of my HID install
at:
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/wing/duckworksHIDS/index.html
You will find opinions off all types on the lighting.
Your best bet is to do as you're doing and educate
yourself as to the various options, and the technical
details of them....then make your choice based on where
your preferences and priorities lie. For some, it's
cost, and ease of finding a new bulb. For others,
it's brightness. For me, it was overall brightness,
and lower power draw. I hate the thought of how my
old 250W light used to draw 20A on it's own...I want
a much more efficient system for my -10.

Just building the flap control tubes. The section where you put
the ends on the tubes, and use your wing jig to set the clocking....
The plans say to slide the ends into the tubes, but they don't
say how far. Do you slide them only to the powdercoat line
so the bare metal is inside the tube, or all the way on. From the
plans it *looks* like you don't go all the way, but it doesn't
specify in text.
I'm sure it's important they go on the right distance, so I'll hold
up and see what you experts say.

Other advantages of Vans kit
Low cost
can add wig-wag
Less weight than the HIDs
Mike Howe has a great write-up on the installation here
<http://www.etigerrr.com/Wings/april_12_2005.htm>
Other advantages HIDs
nav/strobe does not block the light beam
Shear tip can now be used to mount a viriaty of different LED nav lights

Great additions, Larry! I forgot the wig-wag part. I guess
the weight too, but when it comes to the little things,
I'm not too worried about anything that adds 1-2 lbs....
some people are though. You're also right about the beam
blocking thing. I think going with only Nav's and Strobes in
the sheared tips give you more flexibility in mounting those
things if you don't have to worry about lights too.
