Dear Lister,
Please read over the RV10-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete
RV10-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/RV10-List.FAQ.html
Thank you,

******************************************************************************
RV10-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the RV10-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the RV10-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
RV10-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the RV10-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.

The first thing you lneed is a lycoming OVH manual and a Parts book!
When in doubt read the book. But this is why you are called experimental.

Dean,
It all depends on exact model that you're converting from and to. A
copy of the parts catalog would absolutely verify for you, but I went
through this to convert an O-540-B4B5 to an IO-540-D4A5. Differences
included pistons, mags and carb to FI system. The other common thing
that might be different is the counterweights - you want the
counterweight configuration for the "Hartzell Compact Hub" which I
believe is indicated by the 2nd digit in the suffix being a "4".
There are actually multiple parts catalogs: wide and standard/narrow
deck and at least for the narrow deck there's a catalog each for
carbureted and fuel injected models Part numbers for the narrow deck are
PC-115-2 for the carb engines and PC-215-1 for the fuel injected. They
aren't expense and I've actually got a copy of both. I'd be happy to
look up a detail or two for you, but you really need a copy for your
engine if you're going to work on it.

Crow's foot adapter? I assume this is what I need to torque the AN
flare fittings for my fuel lines?
If so, can someone point me to a good source to purchase them? Also,
what needs to be added to the torque amount when using one of these?

I got my set from Sears. There is a chart with
my torque wrench that tells you the adjustment to make
when using a crow's foot or similar thing depending on
the length of the offset.

Harbor Freight sells cheap sets of crowfoot wrenches, flare nut and straight
variety. I only see metric on their web site but they do sell SAE.
Here's a cheap set:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4368152763&category=29527
And here's a calculator that lets you determine torque settings when using a
torque wrench extension:
http://www.rvproject.com/mechanic.html
AC43.13 has a table of torques for AN fluid fittings. Most people I know
use German Torque on AN fittings ("guddenteit").

Sears sells a good kit, and for torque just use the formula that is in
the book

Sean:
I just went through the same exercise. I found a good set at Sears but
purchased a cheap set (~$15 shipped) off eBay that will do the job.
There is a section on use and calculations in Chapter 7 of the "Aircraft
Inspections & Repair Book. I saw a link to a .pdf file the other day on
the list but don't remember who posted.

You can purchase crow's feet at a variety of places including Sears. If you mount
the crow's foot on your torque wrench at a right angle to the wrench body
you don't need to do any additional calculation to compensate for the length of
the crow's foot, just read the torque directly, otherwise you need to do some
compensation.

Above the elt on the rear of the fuse bulkhead. Take a look at the
photos on Tims site and you can see how mine was mounted. The
directions say the a 20 deg angle is best. Can anyone promise me that in
a crash that the antenna will end up at 20 deg? Just a thought. Randy

I'm going to give Jim a call tomorrow and talk to him about this. Last
I heard was Vic's engine wasn't making full power.
When Van's did their study the MT prop was about 1-2 mph slower but 8
knots is either the engine, or other airframe issues.

Yes and the report was disappointing. Vic Syracuse is flying
with a three blade MT prop and I believe he is seeing a TAS of 161 - 162
knots at 8,000'. Vic is working with the folks at MT but have not heard
anything lately. Jim Ayers (Less Drag guy) is suppose to have access to
an RV-10 and will be doing a comparison of performance between a two
blade Hartzell and the three blade MT. When I talked to Jim about Vic's
performance his reply was "its easy to blame the prop". He also told me
MT stands behind their product and that I had not purchased a lemon.
Here's hoping!
