Is the oil access door hinge supposed to be visible when the door
is completed? Mine seems to sit very low if you rivet the hinge to
the inside of the cowl. Photos are at:
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/finishing/20050911/index.html
The cowl install is going very well so far. The plans have just
enough detail to make it pretty simple if you think through it.
Also, before I forget, Gus answered two of my questions. 1 question
was if the hardware for the VMP Kit was included. It was...he tipped
me off that it was all in a separate sub-kit bag. The 2nd point
actually makes me eat some words....those engine mount bolts. I had
thought that I was shorted the 4 AN7-26 bolts and associated washers
and nuts. They aren't listed in any of the hardware bags with all the
other similar hardware. Well, it turns out that they don't put these
parts in the hardware bags, but call them the DYNA BOLT KIT, so
you can't search paperwork other than noticing the name. My
mistake...I did have this bolt kit...it comes in a separate plastic
bag. So, that gets rid of one part issue I brought up. There are
still some other small quantities of things not right, but they're
not as major as engine mount bolts. They're doing real good
about taking care of things.
Still working on getting things painted in the next few weeks.
Found a guy who'll help do some prep and spraying, so that's
a great turn of events.

No, we didn't have the engine on. It would be pretty hard to work on that
with the engine on. The suggestion of climbing on the engine mount and
pushing against the ceiling would probably work as well, and it would
certainly be better for pictures for the builder's log. Either way, it
should work. It does take a lot of pressure to compress them, which is the
way you want it.
Have fun.

I used the combination angle iron, and ground rivet squeezer method (no Proseal)
on my rudder trailing edge, and it came out perfect. I like the idea of using
the same technique for the trim tabs, however I wonder if the additional weight
of the AEX and rivets out there could be a concern ? Is there a balance issue
with trim tabs as well? Before I call Vans and ask them, I would sure like
to hear anyone's opinion on this concern. Thanks

Folks,
Got back from a two week trip to my mother-in-laws (!) and I had over
700 emails in my RV-10 account.
Just got caught up on Sunday.
Here's a couple of answers to some questions:
Clecos: I got mine at ATS, they had the lowest prices for NEW ones.
This was around last Christmas...
Wire: Contact the following guy at wire masters: "Glenn Hill"
<ghill@wiremasters.net>
Note: when we buy wire we buy in 1000 foot or 500 foot increments.
The BIG (read expensive) stuff we usually get in 100 foot
increments. If wire masters can't do it for for contact S.E.A. wire
and cable.
Here are the links:
http://www.sea-wire.com/
http://www.wiremasters.net/
http://www.aircraft-tool.com/
Remember, when you buy in quantities, these folks will usually give
you a better price. It doesn't hurt to ASK! Some of you builders
that are NEAR each other should get together and make a bulk buy and
then distribute the materials yourselves. Remember, cheap prices are
nice!
Take care and keep pounding those rivets! :)

Subject: | Oil FIlter Adapter |
The way I learned to changed a crowded oil filter in A&P school was to punch a
small hole in the top of the filter and then use a blow nozzle (use the one with
a rubber tip) to pressure the filter with shop air. This blows from clean
side of the filter back into the oil galley and magically your filter will be
practically empty when you spin it off.

regards the oil filter; be careful how you make the hole in the filter. shavings/fragments

Anyone giving consideration of providing 110AC outlets in the 10. My plan involves a two plug 400W inverter mounted on the pilot side sub panel. It will be internally fused at 20A a plug and will be connected to the hot side of the starter relay and controlled by its own off/on switch and ultimately the master switch. That way I can run the laptop /cell phone/handheld radio or just charge their batteries. I have a similar system as an after thought in the Glastar and allows back up use for www.myairplane.com DVDs of enroute/IAPs and VFR sectionals without fear of battery failure. Of course the destination and alternates I print and carry in paper.

Bruce,
is there not a chance, that if you do that, that also all the filtered
out particles are blown back into the engine again?

The outside wall of the oil filter is adjacent to the filtered or clean oil, blowing
back from this location only pushes clean oil back into the engine. Use
a sharp awl to pierce the filter and you will end up with a clean hole with no
fragments. This technique works well on any tight engine compartment which
is usually the case for any 6 cylinder engine.

I briefly considered remote mount filters. I had one on my
Sundowner and it was great for doing changes. You can unscrew
it and put a rag under the mount and basically not get a drop
of oil anywhere. I still may end up getting one, after the
plane is built, but I wanted to see the horizontal mount first
and see how tight it is after all the hoses are installed.
The only limitation I see with the -10 is that the upper
fuselage tips forward, and that may be about the only
real open area to install it. So if you went that route,
you might have to build a small wedge if you wanted it to
mount completely vertically...and if you didnt', it would
probably spill much easier.
I intend to look closer at this after I've got the plane
flying, but not slow down the build for it now unless
someone else tries it first and has easy success.

The "down sides" seem to include:
- more stuff that can fail (hoses, fittings, connections)
- more weight
- more up front expense
- more recurring expense (hoses)
- one more thing consuming firewall "real estate"
That said, they certainly seem to help with convenience. And one could
argue that by adding "surface area" to the entire system it won't hurt in
the oil cooling department.
FWIW, I use the poke & drain/funnel method when changing my "standard"
horizontally mounted oil filter. It's cheap, mess free, and introduces the
least amount of complexity and points of failure into the system.

I have been told by Don Forrest, #40114, that Van's does not endorse
the AEX method. You would indeed have to take the additional weight
into account when balancing your elevators, and its effect on the
flutter margin is unknown. As always, you must do your own risk
analysis and your mileage may vary.

Several questions:
(1) I would need to get some great pictures for use on the Calendar. These would
need to be high resolution digital if at all possible. I would also need to
have the photographers permision to use them on the calendar and a small paragraph
about the picture.
(2) Anyone care to list any important dates they would like to see highlighted
on the Calendar (First Flight Anniversaries, Holidays, etc.)
(3) Distribution? - PDF (Personal use only), Printed - Not stapled for wall hanging,
Printed / Stapled.
Comments?

It would probably be cheaper and much more efficient to just get a universal adapter like the iGo to run your various items. Doesn't make much sense to go from DC to AC and back to DC. Those inverters weigh a fair amount and put out a ton of heat. The iGo I have will run my laptop and charge my cell at the same time. It works on AC or DC and even in most airliners. Check it out at: <http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku10346441&loc101&hdwt0&sp1>. Radio shack is also selling these now and they have tips to charge almost anything. For the lower voltage stuff a DC-DC converter is even easier and can also be picked up from Radio Shack with interchangeable tips.
If you really run into a need for something AC you can always grab an inverter
for that trip. I keep a small one in my truck for those weird circumstances
and just plug it into my cigarette lighter.

Dan is right that there are more potential places for leaks
and failures. I installed the ADC system. It never once
in about 500 or more hours had an issue, but I can see how
if it wasn't installed properly that it could. His cooling
point is one I forgot to mention. I looked at it as a positive
in that you get a few ounces more oil capacity (since you're
running the sump short by a couple quarts due to blow-off
anyway), and being remotely mounted it perhaps gives the
opportunity for a bit more cooling of the oil. The weight
of the system was pretty negligible....perhaps a pound for
the mount, and then a bit of hose.
Costs were around $425 or so if I remember right.
In exchange for giving up firewall real estate, you end
up getting some back in easier access to your accessory pad
and other areas on the back of the engine. It all depends
on your install. Overall, I was extremely happy with
the setup, but of course I would be, since before that
add-on, the engine didn't even use a spin-on...it only
had the screen.
I think the horizontal standard filter may not be too bad
in changing on the -10, as long as the builder either uses
Dan's drain method, or builds there own little drain pan.
A follow-up question: Is anyone putting quick drains on their
sump? I always found it humorous that in aircraft engines we
have to safety wire everything, except you can put a non-safetied
quick-drain on the engine oil....very strange to me.\

Dan has several great points. One thing about the reoccurring
expenses; one can purchase teflon LIFE-TIME hoses. Check with John
at Airwolf. They're not cheap, but a one time buy is good. Also,
you can take them off every five years or so (yes, five years) and
have them re-certified if you don't trust them.
Take care,

When I looked at them the B&C appeared to be the obvious choice because of no oil
hoses of potential areas for leaks.
Here are some pictures of this type. If you do get it you also need to get the
peice to extend it. They offer three sizes and I think it was the middle size
but I will check if you are interested.

Dan is right that there are more potential places for leaks
and failures. I installed the ADC system. It never once
in about 500 or more hours had an issue, but I can see how
if it wasn't installed properly that it could. His cooling
point is one I forgot to mention. I looked at it as a positive
in that you get a few ounces more oil capacity (since you're
running the sump short by a couple quarts due to blow-off
anyway), and being remotely mounted it perhaps gives the
opportunity for a bit more cooling of the oil. The weight
of the system was pretty negligible....perhaps a pound for
the mount, and then a bit of hose.
Costs were around $425 or so if I remember right.
In exchange for giving up firewall real estate, you end
up getting some back in easier access to your accessory pad
and other areas on the back of the engine. It all depends
on your install. Overall, I was extremely happy with
the setup, but of course I would be, since before that
add-on, the engine didn't even use a spin-on...it only
had the screen.
I think the horizontal standard filter may not be too bad
in changing on the -10, as long as the builder either uses
Dan's drain method, or builds there own little drain pan.
A follow-up question: Is anyone putting quick drains on their
sump? I always found it humorous that in aircraft engines we
have to safety wire everything, except you can put a non-safetied
quick-drain on the engine oil....very strange to me.\

I recently purchased the Oil filter adapter & spacer from

can not make user commenrts. At the time it was the best deal I could find and
much cheaper than all the others @ $258. Good luck.

I bought my remote filter mount from a car parts place (forgot which
one!) and that added one hose. I put it in series with my oil cooler on
the Pitts. Works like a champ. It was relatively cheap .... just a
cast aluminum piece .... but it's no ADC filter either. Depending on
what I get for an engine, the -10 may have the same thing.
As for the quick drain .... yep, my Grumman and Traumahawk have one, but
the Pitts just has an AN cap. The downside is that they may leak after
a while ..... but a new O-ring solves that problem. They're no
different than a fuel quick drain in that respect.

For those who have already fitted the cabin doors, is there a convenient (and
out of the way) place to put a micro switch (and wiring) on both doors that
could be tied into a "door ajar" light on the panel?
Haven't yet gotten my QB kit, but finishing up my panel specs with my
builder, so would be nice to know now.

You're kidding right? Even mid sized turbines don't have inverters anymore. All
those devices you mention ultimately use DC power. Why introduce the noise
of AC just to convert it back to DC? Wouldn't you be better off looking into
DC to DC converters of the appropriate voltages? Just trying to understand why.

Subject: | trimtab trailing edges |
That is what I did on mine, looks 10x better than the folded edge, in my
opinion of course.... Van's will tell you not to do it, like they do
with everything that is not exactly as on the plans..... They did not
test their airplane in this fashion so they will not give you any advice
except not to do it.
I did mine this way, I will be sure the control surfaces are balances
and I will check it for flutter during the first 40 hours. In the
slight chance it won't work, it is very easy to swap out the trim
tabs....
P.S. - a lot of the -9 guys did it too, and I have never heard of any
issues. Maybe you want to cross post on the -9 list and ask them
specifically.

I used the combination angle iron, and ground rivet squeezer method (no
Proseal) on my rudder trailing edge, and it came out perfect. I like the
idea of using the same technique for the trim tabs, however I wonder if
the additional weight of the AEX and rivets out there could be a concern
? Is there a balance issue with trim tabs as well? Before I call Vans
and ask them, I would sure like to hear anyone's opinion on this
concern. Thanks

On page 29-12 on the left inset it shows the F-1042-EL to be riveted to
the F-1040-L. The picture does not show this, but there are some rivets
for some nut plates and one of the rivets is shadowed by the F-1040-EL.
I was hoping to install the nut plates prior to the riveting the
F=1-42-EL to the F-1040-L, but I can not seem to find what size nut
plates and what they are used for? I assume there is a cover plate or
something that goes over this, but could not find anything in the plans.
I looked up on some builders web sites without much luck either.

I believe it would be easy to put the microswitch just on the front
side of the vertical doorpost on the front of the door, and have it
click up when the door latch pin is extended all the way in
to the locked position. Then you'd have a warning if the door wasn't
latched tight.
In fact, I was thinking that instead of adding a cabin lock
that would cause a chelton thief to wreck my entire plane
to try to get to it, I'd just install a big loud a$$ horn
that would go off if someone opened the door without
deactivating it. You could then either use a remote key
FOB or an externally mounted keyed security electrical switch.
If it was loud and obnoxious enough, it should work as
well as a lock in preventing the theft.

OK, the adapters that B&C offer are a .75", 1.4", and 2.5". You will need the
1.4" adapter for the IO-540 D4A5. The adapter is $395 (or .395 APU's (Air Plane
Units)) and the spacer is $50.
It seems like is should be cheaper but it is a very nicely machined peice and you
don't have to worry about leaky fittings.

I found this out the hard way. My QB fuse didn't come with the
nutplates installed, so I ended up having to grind away
some of the F-1042-EL to get to it to put in that shadowed
rivet you talk about. It's for the wiring cover plate on that
corner. You should be able to use K1000-8 nutplates. I think
they might have been shorted in the QB fuse kit if I remember
right. You may have them in the slow build kit though.
Anyway, they really should have been done on the QB during
the step you're at, because it's a pain later for that one
rivet. Mine will never look perfect...yours has a chance
to.
