Give it a few more hours and I'll let you know. Randy's flying
in to my town today (Eau Claire, WI) after flying well over
1000 NM...he'll definitely have a feel for it. I think
he just got some speed test numbers too. I spoke with Randy
yesterday....I don't think that any flyers have even the slightest
worries about shedding parts if you fly within the design specs.
PS: Is there a difference to you if the RV10 only goes 198mph
instead of 208mph....why the extreme concern? If you're that
worried, buy an IO-540 and have a couple of the mods done
to it an you can push the HP up to 270-290HP. You'll be
beyond the recommendations, but hey, if you're desperate for
a couple of MPH...

I'm absolutly not worry about the exact numbers,by I like to have if needed,and
like any logical person,Iwill finish to fly normaly at 160 -170 to save some
liquid gold,plus I thinks if my plane do in excess of 200 and normaly operate
at 170 I allways have the reserve,I do not like use my machines hanging from the
neck all time.

I'm getting close to riveting the top wing skins and I
am expecting that I will shoot the rivets. The
reference in the plans to back riveting the skins has
me wondering if it is worth the effort? Any one have
any comments pros/cons or suggestions for either
technique?
Thanks

Along these lines, if you paid the digital setup fee for the design, I
would be willing to chip in if you gave me access the file, as is the
guy here wants $150 setup fee, but if there is enough interest we could
use your contact and help off set your setup fee based on reusing it and
changing colors.
Thoughts?

If I had the proper set up to do back riveting for such a large piece, I'd do that
over shooting. I find back riveting is more controlled, easier. However, that's
just my experience with the rudder, which is small and very flat. Not sure what
challenges the wings would present.

I just got a note from Vic Syracuse and some pics of his RV-10.
He's now "Airworthy" officially, and hopes to fly this weekend.
I don't know what his chance of getting the time flown off for
the show will be, but we can hope I guess, huh?
Looks like we'll also see some actual numbers on an MT prop
soon too, so that's exciting!

Hey Rob,
I'm actually just off Exit 52 from I-94, which is
closer than Eau Claire. If you're ever interested in
coming by, it's no imposition at all. It's less
than an hour total from the river...takes me 1:15
to get to MSP Chamberlain.
I'll definitely be at OSH. Just found out there's the
off chance i'll be there Friday now too.

I had thought about that. It would, of course, assume that someone
chooses a similar paint scheme, if they want it to look just
like their plane, but I'm not at all opposed to sharing the
design now that I own it. I have to get a disk from the
lady yet so that I have it, but she gave me the last one
that I had Sundowner logos made of. What you are proposing
is exactly what would be cool from a cost perspective.
Also, FYI, they can change colors just by changing threads,
so as long as the pattern is similar, the colors can be whatever
you wish. I did have the N-number and wording put in as part
of the pattern, but most places should be able to just do
the plane, and do the lettering separately below.
Of course, if someone want's a design all their own, just
email me offline and I'll send you the email address of
the lady who does them. She sends the .jpg to some place
in the Minneapolis area though for conversion....it may
be that I can get her source direct for you.

Hi,
I tried backriveting both top wing skins but quickly
switched to standard both times. I had the heavy
weight rec for it and an extended backrivet set. I
found it was harder to get a good rivet bc my part
time rivet partners are inexperienced with bucking.
They would either press too hard or too little. For
the rib rivets you would also need an offset backrivet
set which was backordered at a number of suppliers
when I needed it. (I also think the offsets absorb
alot of the force and make -4's hard to set with my 2X
gun)
With standard riveting it is easier to recover (as
long as they stay on the rivet) and I was happy with
all of the rivets shot this way.
I also put a piece of rivet tape over the rivets and
this does a good job of protecting the skins from the
mushroom head.

I'll stick this on my OSH RV-10 page soon, but Gary called me today
and he's on-field at OSH right now. He's the place where we'll be
able to meet at every day for post-show activities.
He says he's by Lindbergh and 52nd, actually between 52nd and 53rd.
He's the 2nd motorhome from the end of the row, with a big
Dolphinfish on the side, and a Georgia flag outside.
So, when you're nearing the end of the day, head over that way for
some fun.
He's got a spot reserved right next to him for Jesse Saint's
family's motorhome, so hopefully they'll be right there too.
Can't wait to meet you all. If you're on the OSH list, look
for Gary Specketers phone number if you need to get a hold of
him.
We'll also meet daily at 10:30 at Van's. Unless things change,
my first show day will be Tuesday.
I'll also be spending a bit of time showing my panel at SteinAir's
booth. It's hanger B booth 2030. Too many minor things didn't
make it in time to do a complete job, but the fun stuff is at
least wired for power for some demos.
See you there!

I backrevietd all but a few of the rivets on the top skins with great results.
It took two of us about two hours to complete. I used the large 305 lb 1/2 of
a dumbell looking bucking bar with plastic tape on the face, I can't recall wif
I got it at Avery's or Cleveland but I did get the 12" long set from Clevealand.
It worked grwat, I never could get the back rivet set from Avery to work,
just bent ovet the rivets, they said if you had problems they would allow you
to revturn it but I never did. I even called Jay Pratt and sked if he had any
tips for that rivet set and he told me he could never get it to work either.
The 12" set from Clevealand is the way to go...I highly recommend you try it.
Feel free to contact me off list and I'll let you borrow mine for a small nominal
fee (postage). It will save you $50.

highly recommend you try it. Feel free to contact me off list and I'll let
you borrow mine for a small nominal fee (postage). It will save you $50.

I like the swivel head rivet set with two layers masking tape on the
face of the set. You do need to replace the tape every so often. Also
a black dot in the center of the set. You can see the center of the set
easily in the reflection off that nice shinny aluminum.

Nah, slow build, just took less time to finish up the wings than I thought, I have
the bottom skins to rivet, they are ready but I'm waiting to get a tech inspection
before. I have wing tips to do and some other unfun things with fiberglass,
lead time is 8 weeks, I have a lot of travel July through the end of August
so I really can't do much anyhow. It's so blasted hot in the Las Vegas garage
er um hanger that I'm not so sure I feel like playing out there much.

Larry, you escaped the top skin blues by going quick build, but at least you will
get the chance to get some smile lines in your forearms from the bottom skins.

Hugo, this might ease your mind a bit....
I just spoke with Randy. They had a late start due to weather I
think. They made it to Custer, SD so far, and are having
troubles obtaining fuel. He's travelling with a couple of
RV-4's.
Sounds like he's seeing numbers like 9.5gph in cruise on their
trip so far, and some earlier speed checking showed about 168-173Kts
ground speed over different directions. For the nautically
impared, this is in the low 190's to pretty much right at 200mph.
He indicated that he thinks from his experiences so far that his
plane will basically be able to meet Van's posted numbers for
N410RV, and his plane has a used prop and rebuilt engine.
It also sounds like Van's thinks their's might be good for a couple
more mph with the new blended airfoil prop too, so I believe
that you should be pretty happy with the performance.
Also, in travelling with the RV4's, he's burning within a
couple of GPH more than they are, but going within a couple
kts of the same speed....and, they're travelling heavy. For
a 4 place plane, loaded up, to get that kind of efficiency
is very pleasing. I'm burning 9-9.5gph right now in the
Beech going 112Kts, so this will be a world of difference.
Just thought I'd pass that on. Sounds like no hitches so far
except for the fact that Custer's fuel pump is broken, and
if they can't get someone to fix it, Randy might have to
donate some of his extra fuel to at least one of the -4's
that have smaller tanks, just to get to a field with
fuel available.
PS: Vic put in SafeAir tip tanks.....if you were going X/C, he'd be
a great buddy to have around when the fuel pump doesn't work
at the FBO. ;)
