That would tend to make the instrument show pitch movement with oscillations. 2) Will this interfere with the seatbelt cables that are coming from the rear at about the same height? 3) Why did you choose to go back this far, instead of doing it right behind the baggage wall? There might be a benefit to moving it forward just because another front-rear brace could be riveted to that center baggage wall support so it would stiffen it more and make it pretty solid. The only thing with that location is that it would either have to be aft of those longeron bolts, or could maybe be incorporated into them with longer bolts.

Where did you get them and what are those going for nowadays? I'm interested in using inertial reels but I don't like the idea of using regular vehicle style as I don't know how well they engage at different attitudes.

He said that B&C field wound starters didn't really have any issue but the Skytech starters in particular were PM and really sucked a lot of juice during start. I don't have quantitative specifics on this - just passing along anecdotal info.

I put in an RG-35XC as an upgrade. Never had it fail to crank the engine, so I can't tell how overkill that was, but the RG-35 was standard. I guess that's why I'm additicted to the bigger battery. As for the PM starters....isn't that pretty much what everyone is using these days? Mines a skytec HT starter.

The numbers in the model number reflect info about a 5 second hot cranking amp capacity (680 A vs. 625 A). Here's a page with graphical info that somebody sent me: http://www.enersysreservepower.com/ody_b.asp?routine=ody_dchrg&brandID=5 One other factor - It was less impact to modify the battery tray for the PC-680s. An RG-25 (which the tray was made to accept) is just a hair under 5" wide. A Pair of PC-680s are about 6.25" wide as compared to about 7.8" for a pair of PC-625s Bob #40105 -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Tim Olson Subject: Re: RV10-List: Battery Purchase --> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson Cool David, thanks for providing those numbers. It's nice to see what the real specs show. For comparison to Odyssey batteries, here's the specs on those: CCA Nom.Capacity Reserve Capacity PC625 265 17Ah 27 min PC680 220 16Ah 24 min PC925 380 27Ah 52 min PC1200 550 40Ah 78 min Ahh these specs are from here: http://www.odysseyfactory.com/specs.htm Interesting....I would have thought the capacities go up with higher model number, but that PC625 of Carls actually has more oompf than the PC680...

TDT 40025 Do not archive ________________________________ Message 19 ____________________________________ Time: 03:25:01 PM PST US Subject: RE: RV10-List: engine mount & IO-540-C4B5 --> RV10-List message posted by: "BPA" Certainly. First and foremost, the angle head 540 as in an "E" model, weighs roughly 60 lbs. more than a parallel head 540 D4A5. Some of this is due to the additional weight of the cylinders. An angle head cylinder, by design, has more cooling fins than a parallel head, allowing better cooling capability, but is at a weight disadvantage because of the bigger head. The angle head cylinder weighs about 7.5 lbs more than the parallel head. This is only 45 lbs, but by the time you add the additional weight of longer intake tubes, different sump etc, it gets right on up there. It also is wider than the D4A5, but not more than about an inch. Another issue is height of the engine. The angle head engine is almost an inch taller. WIDE DECK/NARROW DECK I do not understand the narrow deck, wide deck issue. I will tell you that it is almost impossible to find a good run out narrow deck core to overhaul, and you certainly can't buy a new narrow deck engine, because they don't make them anymore. All engines from Lycoming are now wide deck engines. The weight issue doesn't come into play because the difference is negligible. It's probably not more than the difference in a Kelly Aerospace vs B&C or Skytech starter. There is a difference in the governor drives between a narrow deck and wide deck. POWER INCREASES: I could be WAY off base here, but it is probable the IO-540 D4A5 is the engine used in the prototype RV-10. All the performance numbers were gained using this engine and therefore any power increases would be (in Van's defense) uncharted waters. However, if I were building an aircraft that I wanted to market to the masses, I would have a very large margin of safety as far as horsepower is concerned, meaning there would be some room for improvements. How many people know that the very first Pitts had a 4 cylinder Continental engine? On a side note, we are currently in the process of developing a complete RV-10 package consisting of our forward facing Cold Air Induction, John Forsling exhaust and a custom cowl to increase performance and cooling issues. Stay tuned to this development because we're getting close. We also have been chosen to offer the NEW OEM Lycoming engines available to the experimental market. These engines are built with ALL NEW Lycoming parts. The kits are available from 150-300 HP and available with several accessory packages and performance modifications.

Thanks Tim) and no leaks so far!! As I clean up my proseal mess, I have a bunch of -4 rivets that I've cleaned and soaked in MEK that I didn't use. Are there any issues with throwing them back in with the others or does the oil I took off (or the MEK itself) pose some sort of long term storage or usage issue?

I have no connection with BPA yet). Doesn't the forward facing Cold Induction system save some of those additional 60 additional pounds and then require the Generation II modified cowl design with John Forsling's tuned exhaust routing and collector? And will your new Lycoming offering provide the Thielert style roller lifters? Thanks for the specifics.
