Don't know about that, but I think you could qualify as an Ag operator!

FWIW it never crossed my mind to need speed brakes in my RV-6. I had a
constant speed prop and going high RPM does a pretty effective job of
slowing you down and I would suspect the RV-10 would behave similar. If
not, you can always use the excuse of having to bleed off airspeed to
justify your high-G break turn on initial!

Has anyone thought about adding speed brakes like what are on the mooneys?

Just a quick plug for Avery, and by extension to all the other tool
suppliers who have a high standard of service.
I hadn't used my pneumatic squeezer for several years. When I picked it up
again for use on the RV-10, it just didn't have the right oomph. Finally it
began failing altogether. It was purchased in 2000. Called Avery and they
said it would cost whatever to fix it. Sent it. Bob Avery called to go
over the procedure. Then called to tell me what he found it needed, which
was essentially a once over and the replacement of several parts which were
either missing or worn. I said have at it. Called me again to say it was
done and being shipped. Got here all nice and almost new. Inside the box
was a note. Bob explained what he'd done, then explained that it was "no
charge."
I have no association with Avery or other tool suppliers, such as Cleveland.
I spread my purchases around based on price and recommendation from other
builders. But I do think it's important for us as a group to recognize job
well done, going the extra mile, and so on. Not just for Avery, but for all
those who try hard to deliver good products and services.
Thanks, Bob. Nice job.

Hello All,
Unfortunately the rug was yanked out from under me this morning for my trip
to Oshkosh. The person covering my call today had a family emergency and left
town. Oh well. Anyone attending Oshkosh: any new information from Deltahawk
engines about their 200 HP or 300 HP light engines? Any new news about Eggenfellnar's
RV-10 engine? Any updates about engines, avionics, or RV-10's from
Oshkosh would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Steven Morris

| Subject: | Just back from Osh. |
I just returned 2 hours ago from Oshkosh and all went well. My wife and I spent
the night in Helena Mt. and flew in the final leg this morning. What a traveling
machine. I think in the 2900 hundred mile trip I only had the stick in my
hand for 1 =BD hours. The rest of the time it was being flown by the Digiflight
II.
I have the numbers that will be announced on my speed and some speeds from N410RV.
The latest numbers for Vans plane is 208 mph One other builders numbers (can't
remember who) were also 208 mph. Mine was only 198. Ken Kruger talked to
me at Oshkosh and gave me the numbers. It was his thought that I may have a
rigging problem with the ailerons. He was spot on. When we were flying back
from Oshkosh I had plenty of time to inspect the alignment of the flaps and ailerons.
The ailerons are =BC" or more low when the flaps are fully in the up
position. I must not of had the flap all of the way up when I originally set
the aileron alignment. Well I have already talk with Ken since I have gotten
back and he said that it was a guess on his part but was glad to hear it was an
easy fix. I will fly with him again after the adjustments are made and post
the new speeds. By the way that was at 8000 ft adjusted altitude and 75 percent
power. The fuel burn at the setting is about 19.2 gph. When we flew to and
from Oshkosh I would say we averaged about 12.5 gph. And flew between 9500
and 13500 all the way. At 13500 we were burning about 10.5 gph. I wish I
was still there. We had to come home for our 30th. High School Reunion. Randy
Ps. Thanks Tim and Andrea for the nice time. Randy and Cheryl DeBauw

| Subject: | N410RV Demo Ride PIREP |
My wife and I took a demo ride in 410RV at OSH Wednesday morning. Here are a few
impressions and notes from the ride.
1. If you have another option, don't take your demo ride at OSH. It's 40 minutes
of taxi followed by a 10 minutes circle around lake Winnebago. Obviously Oregon
is the best place but Sun-n-Fun would have been a better option IMHO.
2. Ken (Scott?) is not the greatest guy to take a ride with. He was quite visibly
annoyed to have to give demo rides which doesn't do much for potential customers.
It probably doesn't matter as demand for the kit is already high. Still,
if I had been on the fence it would have swayed me the other way.
3. The engine sounded much like my friend's PA-28-235, very throaty. Of course
they're nearly the same engine so that's not surprising.
4. Takeoff roll is VERY short. With 3 of us and presumably full tanks we were off
in just a few hundred feet.
5. Climb rates of ~2000 fpm were pretty easy to achieve with just the 3 of us.
6. Controlling the plane via stick was very natural and the stick forces seemed
well balanced. My buddy's Glasair has a pretty firm stick and is, at least to
me, somewhat annoying. It takes some effort to move the stick and yet even the
slightest movement turns into a 15 degree bank. I'm sure you'd get used to that
but the RV10 just seemed a bit more pleasing.
7. Roll rate is pretty impressive for a 4 seat X-Country machine. Without much
warning from Ken, we went 60 degrees left and then 60 degress right in the span
of a second or two. Although this did little to impress the wife or myself,
I bet it'd take the Warrior about 5-6 seconds to accomplish the same task. I'm
sure the 7s and 8s are quicker but the 10 will do fine if you just want to scare
your non-flying buddies.
8. The plane shakes like a wet dog at the stall. There's just no way you could
mistake that for anything else. Also, despite what Sport Aviation says, the nose
was pretty high. At the break, the plane fell through straight and recovery
was a non-event.
9. I didn't get much out of the landing as he came in at 85-90MPH and held the
nose off the ground for what seemed like 1500 feet. I asked him about it and Ken
said he wouldn't normally land so hot but wanted to get back to the drop off
point quickly. About the only thing I could say is that my Warrior would have
started a slight porpoise landing that fast.
10. All in all a great plane for its mission and not much more than a Archer or
a Dakota.
Well, those are what I remember. Take them for what they are: non-scientific observations
from a doofus. As someone else on this list says "your milage may vary."

I went into Member Village as was able to attach to their wireless. Not at great
speeds (1 or 2 Mbs) but it beat dialing in late at night or waiting in line.
