Mani,
Absolute good point, I have a coil still in the supply bin and it's not too heavy,
not much more or less than the power supply. My main reason is I have a cheap
side that says the wire is cheaper than three power supplies....and since
I have wing tip antennas, Com 2, Nav and marker beacon I figure if it interferes
it would do it with the power supply at the tip as well. Good hanger conversation
though. If I get any problems I'll pull my coax and install conventional
Comants on the belly (already using one for Com 1) and whiskers in the tail
for Nav. Everyone I talked to that is using my proposed/their setup has not had
any problems. I am not concerned about the fuel tank/high voltage issue. It
would take a lot of things to go wrong for my stobe wiring to get to my tanks....but
yeah I know, Murphy rides on everyones shoulder.

| Subject: | Fuel Tank info needed |
0.15 HTML_TEXT_AFTER_BODY BODY": rv10-list@matronics.com
This is for anyone that has their wings on and sitting on the main gear. I am
going with the Aircraft Extras optical sensor for a backup to the fuel gauge/totalizer.
In order to put this in the tank I have to replicate, fairly closely,
the position the tanks will be sitting in straight and level flight. So
what I need is the relative angles in X and Y from the forward outboard edge of
the tanks when the aircraft is level. Readings from a swing protractor should
be close enough but an electronic level would be great.
These things are a bit of a catch 22 as you need to be able to put water into
the tanks in order to get the sensor to indicate at a known quantity but you
can't get to the business end of the tank once they are closed up. You could
wait to put the floats in but I also don't know what kind of error, if any, the
float may introduce. So I will be putting these in the rear baffle below the
fuel cap. I'll share the exact location with the group so anyone else using
these won't have to go through the trouble.
Thanks,
Michael Sausen

Connect to what? If you are talking at the servo pigtail to the cable, a subD works great. Bob has an article on how to do this on his site. http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/macservo/macservo.html

| Subject: | Tailcone Attachment |
In step four of page 32-3 (tailcone attach) the instructions say to "match drill
the four #30 holes in the aft end of the mid fuse longeron into the tailcone
longeron". Problem is my QB didn't have these drilled from the factory and I
cannot locate in the plans anywhere the dimensions of these. Can anyone point
me to the section/page of the dimensions?

hey all -
let me preface this question by admitting that i might be an idiot. ok then.
i'm getting to the end of riveting together the tailcone, and there are a couple
of bolts that need installation. my question - what does the "A" designation
mean? example: AN3-6A. 6A? what's the difference between AN3-6 and AN3-6A?
i searched the archives and couldn't figure it out. also looked through
the standard aircraft handbook etc... help anyone?

A indicates absent . that is the drilled shank is not there. Should be
secured by a fibrous or metal locknut.

The "A" indicates there is no hole drilled in the threaded part of the bolt.
If you have an Aircraft Spruce catalog I think it discusses this as well to
back me up.
AN3-6 - hole
AN3-6A - no hole
Happy Bolting,

Another suggestion. Get an aviation mechanics handbook. All the part number
digits are explained as well as all the drill sizes and other interesting
info like the size of a hole that you are going drill so that you can tap
with new threads.

Here's the text from Aircraft Spruce's website regarding the bolts as a
further reference:
Hex head aircraft bolts are made of high-strength type 4037 or 8740 alloy
steel (type 8740 is most commonly used). The bolts are centerless ground and
threaded after heat treatment. Minimum tensile strength 125,000 PSI. Cadmium
plated per specification QQ-P-416A, Type II, Class 3. Available with shank
drilled for cotter pin or undrilled for stop nut application, and with or
without drilled head for safety wire. Specify bolts to have undrilled shank
by adding letter "A" after the dash number. For bolts with drilled head add
letter "H" after the AN number. See illustrated examples. The length of AN
aircraft bolts is measured from under the head to the end of the shank. The
"grip" is the unthreaded portion of the shank. See table for conversion of
length and/or grip to proper AN callout.

Go on-line to www.aircraftspruce.com , go to page 76. There I believe you'll
find what the "A" means and everything else you want to know about bolts
etc. Order the catalog as it's the best in explaining "stuff" and finding
they for sale at the same time. We have one in the hanger, in the garage and
next to the computer. When we get a new one we "upgrade" the older ones by
giving it someone at the airport. Have been doing this for years and still
not everyone at APV has one.
The ending letter "A" in your example means that the AN3-6A is "undrilled",
no holes for safety wire in the head of the bolt nor is the shank drilled
for cotter key applications. AN3 is a 10-32 (size 10, 32 threads per
inch) -6A has a grip length of 3/8" and is 25/32" overall.

I'm a bit fuzzy on this already, but, I think those won't be
drilled at all, and you just need to lay out a good 4 hole
pattern. Just leave a good end edge distance on the rear one,
and a little working space behind the bulkhead on the front one,
and then space the other 2 holes evenly. I think you'll end up
with something in the 1" spacing arena or so. Other than
making sure you have strength there, nothing else makes it
critical one way or the other.

Interestingly, this is the second time in the last couple weeks this question has
come up.
The initial holes are match drilled using the F1046-B template on page 29-3. They
are then match drilled to the tailcone sections and enlarged on page 32-3
step 4.
Tim: this appears to be a potential gotcha for QB fuselage folks.

--> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com>
To any of you that are not too far from the Minneapolis/St. Paul area:
SteinAir is having an open house this Sunday. They just moved into
a new 3500 Sq.Ft. facility in Farmington, MN, and they want to see
how many people it can hold. (My personal bet is no more than 1650 ;) )
There will be a Chelton Factory Representative attending and giving
a detailed overview of the Chelton EFIS system, along with Q&A for
users or prospective users. (I believe there may also be some promos
ending after the open house...so you may want to jump on them)
TruTrak Flight systems General Manager Andrew Barker is also attending
to discuss TruTrak autopilots and new/upcoming items.
They'll also be having *FREE* food, which is always a plus.
For the full details, go to: http://www.steinair.com
The open house is located at their new facility, which is located at:
21170 Eaton Ave,
Suite C
Farmington, MN 55024
Located just off highway 50 and Pilot Knob Rd about 3 minutes from
Lakeville Airport (LVN).
The open house will run from 10:00am - 5:00pm
with the free brats/dogs around noon and other refreshments all day.
Those wishing to fly into LVN may do so, and free transportation will
be provided from the airport to their facility.

Subject: RV-10 QB F-1046 aft end bolt holes
From: Tim Lewis <Tim_Lewis@msm.umr.edu>
Vans,
Please see picture 1, attached. This is the aft end of F-1046L, the mid
fuselage longeron. Per plans page 32-3, upper balloon, there need to be
four holes in the aft portion of this longeron for four AN-5 bolts. Per
plans page 29-2, those four holes should be drilled with the aid of
F-1046B, longeron bending template. I didn't receive F-1046B (because I
have the QB fuselage, I presume).
I called a local builder and got approximate hole location measurements
from him. He'd already thrown away his template, but was able to give
me approximate dimensions by measuring the bolts in place.
I consulted my RV-6 plans for similar situations and ended up with the
hole pattern shown in photo 2, attached. The hole distance from the
inner edge of the longeron is from 5/16" to 3/8". Hole distance from
the aft end of the longeron is 3/8". Inter-hole spacing (on centers) is
11/16" to 3/4".
Is this solution acceptable?
Thanks,
Tim Lewis

Wow,I missed the previous mention, but this threw me for a loop,
being a QB fuse builder....
I see what you mean, there's a template (that us QB buyers don't
have, of course) that's used for the drilling. Not having
actually gone thru this, I am having a hard time visualizing
the drilling, and if this is for the horizontal or vertical
holes in the longeron....but I trust you that these are for the
4 holes in question.
So, as a QB builder, who wouldn't *have* that template, and not
having any holes drilled, I would think that this wouldn't be
too nasty to drill as I described earlier though, right? Or do
you see a problem, Bob? I guess I just took it in stride, but
you're right, I'll add it to the Gotchas page.

It's probably not too critical, but I'll scan a pic of the aft part of the template
and you can post it tomorrow.

I just sent a pic to Tim for posting. Exact hole locations are:
- holes are all 7/16" from edge
- aft hole is 3/8" from aft edge of longeron
- hole spacing is 3/4" center to center

It's probably not too critical, but I'll scan a pic of the aft part of the template
and you can post it tomorrow.

Wow,I missed the previous mention, but this threw me for a loop,
being a QB fuse builder....
I see what you mean, there's a template (that us QB buyers don't
have, of course) that's used for the drilling. Not having
actually gone thru this, I am having a hard time visualizing
the drilling, and if this is for the horizontal or vertical
holes in the longeron....but I trust you that these are for the
4 holes in question.
So, as a QB builder, who wouldn't *have* that template, and not
having any holes drilled, I would think that this wouldn't be
too nasty to drill as I described earlier though, right? Or do
you see a problem, Bob? I guess I just took it in stride, but
you're right, I'll add it to the Gotchas page.

Chris,
You refer to the standard aircraft handbook, I trust you are referring
to THE Standard Aircraft Handbook by Aero publishers ISBN O-8168-8502-8
Look at the bottom of the first page devoted to bolts.
Undrilled.........................Add A after dash number
Drilled Shank only...........No letter
Drilled head only.............Add H before the dash number and A after
Drilled head and shank....Add H before the dash number
They also give a great way to remember: A means the drilled hole is absent.

i'm getting to the end of riveting together the tailcone, and there are a couple
of bolts that need installation. my question - what does the "A" designation
mean? example: AN3-6A. 6A? what's the difference between AN3-6 and AN3-6A?
i searched the archives and couldn't figure it out. also looked through
the standard aircraft handbook etc... help anyone?

Besides being a compendium of 'gotta have' stuff, the Aircraft Spruce
Catalog is a wealth of information, From the catalog:
AN6-10A undrilled shank
AN6-10 drilled shank
AN6H-10A drilled head only
AN6H-10 both head and shank drilled
