Nope, speed cost money. To run any engine it will use about .1 gal per HP. I have
a 260 hp engine and it will use 26 gph at full power. At 75% power 195 hp
to be exact you will use 19.5 gph roughly. At 55% power you will use about 14.5
per hour. That is the facts.
Now you don't get economy from flying at 8000 ft. at 75% power. You need to get
high 13,500 14,500 or higher or pull back to 55% or even 45% power. Your economy
will be much better like 11.5 or 10.5 gph. I was at 13,500 going to Oshkosh
and was traveling just fine with 3 RV4's at 10.5 ghp. Calculate into the cost
of the plane an OXY system of some kind and get some altitude. For local trips
I like to pull back the power to 19 in. or so and cruse along at 12.5 gph
and look out the window. I am sill traveling at 145 knots or so.

I also found out something on Sat. I have one flap that will go up slightly more
than the other. One ends up flush with the bottom of the fuse and the other
will be up higher than that by 3/16". I called and they are not sure which one
is the correct one. Ken will get back to me and I will pass it on. I can't adjust
the ailerons until I know the flaps are correct. Randy

Randy,
Thanks for the update, I look forward to a 2900nm flight in my machine one
day. One question, was the fuel burn at 8,000' really 19.2?!!!!! The other numbers

Actually that would be 1450 miles in a day. Several RV6 guys from this area made
it in 9 hours from here to Osh. I would expect it will be 12 hours on the return
leg because of opposing winds. Randy

<2. Ken (Scott?) is not the greatest guy to take a ride with. He was quite

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.>
Sorry to hear of your experience. My wife and I would have said the opposite!
Between the 2 of us, we've had (don't tell anyone) 3 flights in 2 different aircraft.
Maybe he was more "fun" since we did it at the factory... AS for swaying,
with all that this kit has going for it, it would take either lack of research
on my part or something bigger than Ken Scott to push me towards a different
aircraft. Hopefully you'll get input from the builders who have finished
and are reaping their rewards of hard work.

You might be surprised at what you will gain when the flaps and ailerons are right.
I flew my RV-6A for about 300 hours with the ailerons about 3/16 out of
trim. At the fourth annual, I ran across my top wing templates and decided to
check everything out. Discovered error and reset the right aileron.
Picked up 4 knots.

All I can say is WOW! The first completed -10's were VERY NICE!. All of the -10's
I saw, the workmanship and attention to detail was fantastic. They really
set a high bar for the rest of us to follow.
Having not flown in one is killing me, but I will get there soon enough.
Especially want to thank Gary and Brenda for letting be invade their campsite for
the two nights I was there. If you all ever get through Lexington, you must
let me know! Meeting with several of the other builders was great too! ( Tim,
Jesse, Others who I just didn't spend enough time with).
I have posted my pictures to my web site (www.infra-read.com).
Several comments to make:
- I was surprised at the number of first time builders. I highly encourage you
to get in contact with a tech counselor WHILE you are building. They are a wealth
of knowledge and their visits are free.
It will make a difference in the quality of workmanship (and safety) of your finished
airplane.
- I loved the landing lights Randy had on his aircraft!
- Discussions were had on organizing rivets and bolts. I went to Walmart and back
in the crafts section you can get plastic organizers that are great for holding
those parts. I have one for rivets, one for pop rivets, one for AN3 bolts
and another for AN4 bolts and nuts. Inexpensive and they work well. I also
use a plastic peanut butter lid to hold rivets as I am doing a large rivet job
using same size rivets.
- I was NOT successful at finding a 540 kit engine. seems the Lycoming announcement
was not really for a "kit" engine. They still require a builder on their
list to do the final assembly. I talked to one of their "Final Assemblers"
who told me that Lycoming would have a 120 lead then he needed a week to build,
and ship. Looks like I am really going to have to do a serious search for an
engine.
- Tim's panel (and Engine) were on display at OshKosh. It's a really tough decision.
There are so many options for the homebuilt experimental these days.
I watched someone walk up to Tims panel and ask if that could be put into his
Bonanza. The reply that it could only used in an experimental aircraft did not
put a smile on his face. He commented that the certified aircraft industry
is being left out of the progress being made in aviation. So sad!
Anyway, Great trip!
Thanks to Gary, Brenda, Randy, Tim, Jesse, All the others!

3 flights?!?! I knew I should have tried that. Oh well.
As a point of clarification, I was sold on the 10 before the flight and the
demo didn't change that. I just bring it up for anyone who isn't as sure of
what kit they might want. If that's the situation, my advice is to get your
demo ride somewhere other than OSH. It's just too hectic and the Vans staff
too busy. Also, I don't mean to bad mouth ken <something>. He seemed like a
decent guy, just not overly friendly and perhaps not the best choice for

Don't worry Brian, you're not alone. That same staff member has
consistently been the one that leaves me frustrated as well.
Before I bought my kit, I went in at OSH, and remember talking
to him....it didn't leave me feeling good about a kit purchase.
After I got the kit, I stopped by OSH last year to ask a
couple of questions...same thing, nothing but bad attitude
and arrogance. Had a couple of support calls that lost the
lottery and went there as well....again, nothing but an angering
experience. The flip side is that pretty much everyone else in
the company has been fantastic, helpful, and sometimes even
enthusiastic...especially Tom, Gus, Bruce, and the female staff.
Too bad your first flight wasn't a perfect experience, but I wouldn't
sweat it too much. As time goes on, there will be more and more -10
drivers to give you a ride. I'm hoping to be finished for SNF or
at least OSH next year, and if I'm there, I'm up for a ride.

Just don't confuse Kens. I haven't dealt with Ken Scott, but Ken Krueger is a

Rode in the RV10 - awesome ride! Sat in the second demo plane -
interior is nicer but otherwise the same airframe.
Mistrial engines looked interesting but too low on power - same with the
Subaru's. Innodyne put on a good show but, well, we'll wait and see if
they show up to the party. Boy, that turbine sounded nice though!

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 Wannabe builder Do not archive

How far along is Innodyne's demo -10, did they say? They have the airframe
since April.

Just to update everyone, especially people who have just purchased a kit. I sent
an email off to Van's with some photo's of the problem. They checked parts in
stock and found that they have made a bad batch of R1004A/B's, so I'm being
sent a new one. I think it would be advisable if you've purchased a kit in the
last month or so to check that piece when you get to it and ring for a new one
if you have problems lining up the punched holes in the R1004A/B flange with
the rudder skin.
