W&B info is on Tim's website at www.myrv10.com/tips/index.html along
with a bunch of other useful info.
Also, it's it bit more than 5.5 lbs as a total if you figure in the
battery contactor. With that said though, it was Van's intent to have
the CG as far forward as possibly because it's easy to move it aft
(ballast, luggage, etc). It would be pretty difficult to move it the
other way though.

The dual Odyssey batteries seem like a pretty slick idea. Anyone have
any
practical CG numbers that could see if there's any potential situation
with
too aft a CG with the extra 5.5lbs at the battery location?
To further the question, I know there was a PDF file posted from the
finishing kit weight & balance info but I can't find it in the archives.
Could someone steer me in the right direction?

I modified the battery tray to accept a pair of PC-680s (17 AH each)
instead
of the stock single 25 AH battery. Adds a few pounds total weight but I
opted for extra redundancy that will partially offset the ballast that
the
factory carries.

I have searched the archives and not found an answer to the following
questions. To those of you who are going to use a dual electrical
system,
where have you placed the second battery? What is the effect does the
placement have on weight and balance.
Thanks for you help

Short answer - Yes.
Long answer - The Safeair1 ports have a series of dimples on their rear
surface (see the Safeair1 website for pics). This allows the easy
drilling of the port to suit 2, 3, 4 or 6 rivet spacing. I chose 3 as I
figured it was aesthetically best with good attachment of the port to
the skin. I then match-drilled the skin to the port (after Unibit-ing
Van's pre-punched static hole to 1/4"), dimpled the skin and countersunk
the holes on the ports until they sat flush to the skin. Rivets were
easily squeezed.
Have fun,

| Subject: | Toxic Solvents - Tank Sealant Quantity? |
Here is another reason to avoid excess chemicals. Early this year I was doing
some refinish work on my glider with the usual automotive paints. I was using
the same precautions I had always used when building the glider (painted with
Delstar automotive paints) and the RV-6A (primed with self etching primer inside
painted with Imron on the outside). These consisted spraying with a respirator
for most of the automotive paint and a positive pressure mask for the Imron.
Cleanup was usually done with acetone or the paint thinner. Some effort
was made to protect my hands from exposure to the solvents. When spraying small
quantities, I generally did not set up the positive pressure system, but had
fans to ventilate the area. I probably have used 100 gallons of acetone in
my workshop.
About February I started having strange feelings in my feet. Was originally diagnosed
as a ruptured disk and treated with rest and physical therapy. When this
did nothing, they did the MRI which found nothing in the back. Further work
came to the conclusion of nerve damage due to exposure to toxic solvents.
So now I can't wear tight shoes, and have this feeling like my feet are asleep.
According to the Dr's It may or may not go away, in another year or so. I
am fortunate that the arms and hands were not impacted, would prevent me from
doing a -10 when I retire. (I plan on minimal priming and using an Alodine pencil.)
This is suppose to happen only with "chronic" exposure to solvents, except when
it takes less. Just a warning.

I'm looking at the inside of the bearing mount hole on

need to LIGHTLY dress the inside of the hole surface

I made sure the edges of the parts were debured. (I am using rattle can self etching
primer, as part of the get it ready to prime, I use 3M Scotchbright on
a palm sander to scuff the part for a few seconds then prime). Following that
operation I pressed the three parts together (with bearing in place). Clecoed
and riveted accordingly. The result was a good fit with the three bracket parts
closed at the bearing edge.
You just don't want the outside bearing race to freely turn. It did take some
force to press the three parts together (I used a vise with appropriate sized
3/8" sockets to localize the clamping force on the area around the outside perimeter
of the bearing).

| Subject: | New medical condition to report |
--> RV10-List message posted by: "John Jessen" <jjessen@rcn.com>
Ok. There's a new medical condition that has come to my attention only
recently, directly ascribable to RV construction. It's called Buildis
Interruptus, and it rears its ugly head whenever the builder first realizes
that travel or deck building or some other obligation will put him/her in a
position away from the project by more than a 24 hour period. Symptoms
generally include: 1. reading saved RV-10 email more than twice; 2.
searching the web for more RV-10 sites; 3. while traveling, reading the new
tool and avionics catalogs cover to cover; 4. cursing that you didn't bring
the build manual with you on the trip; 5. not talking to your significant
other who demanded the (take your pick) deck, patio, addition, vacation,
house painting, tree removal...; 6. making sounds as if you are the
pneumatic squeezer and drill (but coming up with interesting staccato beats,
nonetheless); 7. sketching out the storage stand yet to be built for your
Empennage and Cone and Wings; 8. scheming how to put up your own builder's
web site (you mean there's computer languages beyond Fortran, Cobol and
Lisp?); 9. general malaise and inconsolable depression, and 10. obsessive
whining and pleading to your significant other (thereby losing all future
positions of negotiating strength) that you want to quit whatever it is
you've been forced to do and get back to Baby.
There is no known cure other than reconnection with the project. Once back
at the project, however, there is a problem often suffered by those who have
contracted Buildis Interruptus. It's called Cleco Oversqueezus. It occurs
when the recovering Buildis Interruptus patient, deprived of the habit
forming project drug, over indulges by staying at the build site for more
than 15 hours straight, cutting, clecoing and deburring everything in sight.
Happy 4th, all.

Funny post, but yet so true. I'm leaving for a two week
vacation in a week and going to stop by Oshkosh on my way back. Right
now I'm finding myself hoping the two weeks of vacation goes really fast
so I can get to Oshkosh and back to my project. I don't think I can

| Subject: | SB wing kit and impending builder interuptus |
--> RV10-List message posted by: Deems Davis <deemsdavis@cox.net>
I recently saw a post that mentioned someone had recently ordered their
wings and was given a ship date of early Aug (8?) which is much sooner
than the 14-15 weeks posted on their web site. I just got off the phone
with Van's and was told that 14-15 weeks IS the current lead time for
wing kits!. I'm making progress at a rate that's going to have me ready
for my next kit in 6-7 weeks. I spoke with builder support about
ordering the fuse kit which only has an 8 week lead time, but they
informed me that the centersection spar is required for the fuse kit!
and while you could make some progress without it, you'd obviously be
limited at some point. Apparently, it is the wing spars that are
causing the 14-15 week lead times.
So:
Anybody out there with a SB wing kit delivery position that wants to
delay delivery that would be willing to trade 'positions'? or alternately:
How much work (hours) can you complete on the SB Fuse without having the
spar available? I'm averaging 35-40 hours per week, wondering if there's
enough work to keep busy until the spars/wings are available?

or so ago), and got a letter saying my scheduled ship date is August 8th.
Put your deposit on the wing kit and see what date is on the letter.
I rushed to put a deposit on it since the lead time I was told was 15
weeks.
Let me know what your scheduled date is, and if I'm not yet ready
when the time comes maybe we can swap kits.

Attached is how my Safe Air Static port fits. The port does stick out
from the skin. Not much, but at least as much as paint. (still need to
dimple, counter sink and rivit, I wish I did it when I was putting
together the tail cone)

I ordered my QB wings and fuselage back in March and was promised a
August ship date. They were ready 2 weeks ago. So, don't be suprised if
the wings are ready early. If anyone is planning on ordering, I would
suggest you do it before Oshkosh. There will be a surge of orders
during the show.

Hi all: This was posted to the Cardinal Flyers Online (CFO)digest a couple
of days ago. I don't know if it's applicable to anyone but certainly looks
like it includes Lycoming 540's. Regards, Rick

| Subject: | Tip for storing bottom wing skins |
--> RV10-List message posted by: Eric Panning <ericmpmail-rv10@yahoo.com>
Hi,
If you are working on the SB wing kit and have
finished riveting the top skin, you can store the
bottom skins on the top skin side by clecoing them to
the gap seal holes. (This assumes you are storing the
wings vert.) The rivet holes are not all aligned but
at least 3 to 4 should be - plenty to hold the skin.

| Subject: | Weld-On 10 Gouge |
I had so much fun glueing the windows on that I thought I'd pass some gouge along.
Weld-On 10 gives you more time to work with than I thought. I spent about
4 minutes per window to smear it on and all were fine. The jar says pot life
is about 30 minutes. It is runny as others have said. However, a thin film
builds quickly and that stops the runniness soon after you apply it. I used
the popcycle sticks that they give you to apply. The rear windows being vertical
were harder to prevent the glue from running. Once I put it on the flange
of the cabin top I held the stick there at the bottom momentarily to stop the
flow then continue. You can go over the glue once after the initial application.
After that it bunches up and gets ugly. I used about 60% of a jar for
each window. Too bad they don't make smaller jars.

I should add some clarification and retract something to my post.
3-4 minutes to apply the glue was probably a bit too long. I didn't time myself
but it was probably half that. It is best to work as quickly as you can. The
important thing is that fresh glue is needed to chemically dissolve the plexi
to make a good bond. I don't want to give the impression that you have 30minutes
of pot life to work with.

| Subject: | New Toy - Chelton Screenshots |
--> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com>
Well, I finally found the perfect Levitra/viagara substitute for
pilots.....yesterday I went and picked up one of my 3 Chelton
screens!!
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/panel/20050702/index.html
I got it powered up by a 2.75A 12V Radio Shack supply, and today I
interfaced it with a keyboard. I was able to boot it up, and
even update the operating software to version 5.0C from 5.0B.
The Terrain now looks far better than before. For those who
remember the blacks and browns of the terrain, they're now much
more vivid and pretty. I took some awful crappy pictures while
I was playing with it tonight so you could see some of the screens.
It's even better than the training DVD and demo video shows.
Also, after playing with it, I can see that my primary Nav/Com
is going to be my SL-30, not the GNS-480.....let me tell you that
this thing is SLICK! That GNS-480's looking mighty weak compared
to this thing. Also (and please don't be offended or take it
personally if you bought GRT stuff), I was able to hold in my
hands, side by side, a Chelton and GRT screen. Let me say
that there is really no comparison. The manufacturing quality
is much better on the Chelton, and you can tell they take better
care during assembly. The screen is much nicer looking, especially
the lighted and labeled buttons. The Chelton weighs a little more,
but you can tell you're getting some substantial power there.
I think it uses a 650Mhz or so Celeron processor. When you power
them on, the graphics are also no comparison. That Chelton blows
the doors of the GRT. I'm extremely glad I went this way, and
if I should have my snip job fail, I'll name my next kid Stein,
in thanks for his taking the time to educate me as to the benefits
of this beautiful system. Some of the stuff from Stark is a little
delayed in coming in so far, but we're still planning to have my
panel on display at OSH at booth 2030 in Hanger B (SteinAir's Booth).
My engine will also be at Aerosport....look for the Gold and Chrome
IO-540.
I also took a minute to take some photos of something else I think
I forgot to post a long time ago. If you remember back in about
October there was a hand carved RV-10 model on Ebay that took
what seemed like forever to sell. Turns out my dad bought it
back then, and gave it to me for my birthday later last year.
It was a great surprise. I'm going to try to talk to the guy
who made it and see if he'll repaint it with my paint scheme, now
that I have it picked out.
Here are some photos of that:
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/misc/index.html
Also, I added some additional photos of my fuel lines, and
some of that junk in the fuselage section.
