Hey there!
I'm building a -10 up north of Orlando, but get down to Ft. Lauderdale a few
times a year either on business or to visit my brother. Would love to stop
by if you're interested in meeting another -10 builder.
My next confirmed trip south is week of Dec 5, but will probably come down
at least once before then.
Look forward to hearing from you.

I have a question for the list. I cleco'ed on the upper deck and
switch/breaker panel to the fuse yesterday and tried to fit the NACA
vents and the expensive aluminum vents I bought from Van's. The Vent
cutouts in the skin are too high on the side skin and hit the underside
of the switch/breaker panel. Even if you trim the naca vent as much as
possible it is still not enough. Van's should have lowered the skin
cutout another 1/4" to 3"8", than it would have fit. Now I am not sure
what I am going to do. I was thinking of ordered the NACA vent pieces
from Van's for the RV-9 which come in two pieces and then you join them
together with 2" scat tube and clamps. This might make it longer and
require a different mounting scheme. This sucks that at builder 40250,
this kind of stuff isn't already corrected. Any thoughts?

No problem! Turns out that the image probably wasn't as helpful as the
measurements.

| Subject: | NACA Vent cutout on side skin is too high! |
This caught me by surprise too. This is what I did There is an angle
aluminum that is riveted to the side skin like an RV-9A with the vent bolted
to it, a flex duct that connects the two.

cutout another 1/4" to 3"8", than it would have fit. Now I am not sure
what I am going to do. I was thinking of ordered the NACA vent pieces
from Van's for the RV-9 which come in two pieces and then you join them
together with 2" scat tube and clamps. This might make it longer and
require a different mounting scheme. This sucks that at builder 40250,
this kind of stuff isn't already corrected. Any thoughts?

We have the normal Whelen strobe power supply in the tail and run the wire
that came with the kit from Van's. I think we get a tiny bit of noise when
the strobes are on, but it is hardly noticeable. We also have a Nav in one
wingtip and a Com in the other. It's certainly not bad enough to be a
problem.

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.

--> RV10-List message posted by: "Jesse Saint" <jesse@itecusa.org>
We used a 9-pin D-sub connector from Radio Shack. We ended up going with
relay decks, though, which makes wiring the servo, the indicator, the switch
in the panel and the switch on the control stick a little bit of a pain,
really almost defeating the purpose for making them a quick disconnect. For
the Aileron and Rudder trims we used the same relay deck (that Van's sells)
and just soldered/crimped the wires.

Ken,
If you are north of Orlando, then you are not far from us. You would we
welcome to stop by X35 and look at our -10. It gets back today from a trip
to Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and North Carolina. It will probably have
the better part of 75 hours on it by then. It's been running great. It
might inspire you to keep up the work.
GOD BLESS!

| Subject: | NACA Vent cutout on side skin is too high! |
--> RV10-List message posted by: "Randy DeBauw" <Randy@abros.com>
I believe the hole placement on the side skin was based on the smaller
1" vents. The feeling was, as I understand it, that the 1" vents did
not allow enough air flow. The 2" vents fit but you have to trim off one
ear. This makes it nice and close to the panel if you want to make a
cover that will hide everything except the vent itself. The cover will
end up right next to the lower edge of the panel. Randy

I have a question for the list. I cleco'ed on the upper deck and
switch/breaker panel to the fuse yesterday and tried to fit the NACA
vents and the expensive aluminum vents I bought from Van's. The Vent
cutouts in the skin are too high on the side skin and hit the underside
of the switch/breaker panel. Even if you trim the naca vent as much as
possible it is still not enough. Van's should have lowered the skin
cutout another 1/4" to 3"8", than it would have fit. Now I am not sure
what I am going to do. I was thinking of ordered the NACA vent pieces

Hey all -
First, thanks to everyone who responded to my bolt ident query
yesterday. This list rocks. Now the new question: when riveting the
top skin on the tailcone, is it ok to climb in there to buck? I know
I've seen pics of people inside the tailcone bucking and goofing around,
but I'm scared of bending j-stiffners, dinging the skins, or otherwise
screwing stuff up. Thoughts?
Thanks

Randy,
I don't think that the standard panel seems to be as good of a
clearance as yours. I did some playing this weekend and I
just don't think that even if I cut an ear off that it has
a chance of fitting. I chopped off the whole vent rearward
half, and it takes quite a bit more space for it to fit under
the panel. Probably at least as much as the top flange of
the vent takes up.
I think the only solutions that I can think of for people with
standard panels will be smaller vents or moving the outlet
somewhere else and connecting with duct.
That said, Van's REALLY needs to make sure they adjust their
CNC punch to either lower, or elminate that hole altogether.
Ray is builder 40250...which is quite a few kits that are
going to be affected. In my opinion, they should just
provide a template and let the builder cut the hole. Then
it'll go wherever it needs to for that builders panel and plan.
I myself had this same dilema and basically just pushed off
completing that section until I find the best solution.
Ray, I'll keep in touch and maybe we'll figure something good
out. The idea that Noel gave out sounds pretty good. I think
I'm going to explore what shape of bended aluminum would be
needed to add a small mounting panel that blends in well with
the rest of the plane. The only issue for me is that if it
rivets thru the skin, I'll have to act quick, because I plan
to paint soon.

What I did was to put a LOT of blankets,quilts,towels on the bottom skin
to protect against damaging things, I piled on a bunch, and then advised
my daughter (my rivet bucker) to try and avoid stepping/kneeling
directly where the stiffeners/bulkheads were, I sweated this also, but
it turned out to be a non event, the padding seemed to do the trick
with no damage.

I was worried about this too. I used 1/4" fibreboard (the really
stiff stuff used for peg boards without the holes) and cut out pieces
to lay across the J-channels. My wife then got inside to buck
rivets. No problems.

Hi Chris,
I sent my 130lb 15 year old son in there and it held up just fine...
though he did move around carefully.
You can do a lot of that riveting yourself if you plan your sequence,
but there are some that you will have to have someone in there for.
Having said that, my work was much faster and the results are
significantly better having had his help.

Try some padding under a board or something like that to distribute your

Hi All,
Just a short update regarding the report of Canadian inspectors failing
RV-10 wings on preclose inspection. Unfortunately I've still not got
names or kits numbers so I've not verified anything with the builders
but here's the info I've received:
- At least two kits were affected.
- All reported defects were under driven shop heads on the 5/16 rivets
on the main spars
- The problems were only found on fast build wings.
I'm got the calipers out to check my slow build spars and found all the
rivets were well within spec. as I suspected.
With the tanks off this should be no big deal to fix but I'd not be a
happy guy to get this flagged as a defect during final inspection.

Randy,
I don't think that the standard panel seems to be as good of a
clearance as yours. I did some playing this weekend and I
just don't think that even if I cut an ear off that it has
a chance of fitting. I chopped off the whole vent rearward
half, and it takes quite a bit more space for it to fit under
the panel. Probably at least as much as the top flange of
the vent takes up.
I think the only solutions that I can think of for people with
standard panels will be smaller vents or moving the outlet
somewhere else and connecting with duct.
That said, Van's REALLY needs to make sure they adjust their
CNC punch to either lower, or elminate that hole altogether.
Ray is builder 40250...which is quite a few kits that are
going to be affected. In my opinion, they should just
provide a template and let the builder cut the hole. Then
it'll go wherever it needs to for that builders panel and plan.
I myself had this same dilema and basically just pushed off
completing that section until I find the best solution.
Ray, I'll keep in touch and maybe we'll figure something good
out. The idea that Noel gave out sounds pretty good. I think
I'm going to explore what shape of bended aluminum would be
needed to add a small mounting panel that blends in well with
the rest of the plane. The only issue for me is that if it
rivets thru the skin, I'll have to act quick, because I plan
to paint soon.

I am pretty sure those rivets are drive at the same place that does them
for the slow build. Randy

Hi All,
Just a short update regarding the report of Canadian inspectors failing
RV-10 wings on preclose inspection. Unfortunately I've still not got
names or kits numbers so I've not verified anything with the builders
but here's the info I've received:
- At least two kits were affected.
- All reported defects were under driven shop heads on the 5/16 rivets
on the main spars
- The problems were only found on fast build wings.
I'm got the calipers out to check my slow build spars and found all the
rivets were well within spec. as I suspected.
With the tanks off this should be no big deal to fix but I'd not be a
happy guy to get this flagged as a defect during final inspection.

Not many responses but I think I have enough pictures to build something that would
keep us builders going a little longer in the tough times.
My big incentive was to see four of the five -10's that were customer built up
at Oshkosh. So very nice! There has got to be a bunch more there next year.
I thought I might be able to make next year, but the more I work, the more there
appears that I need to do. No light at the end of the tunnel just yet! The
quickbuild kits start to look nice. But I am enjoying the building. It's just
taking me longer than I would like.
But along the way, it's sooooo nice to see major subassemblies go from drawings
and a pile of parts to a finished part. Me being a first time builder I am always
a little anxious to have my technical couselor come over. But I have learned
so much and he is just a wealth of knowledge. Now I don't hesitate to have
him look things over.
Now where did I put that engine? I really must clean out the workshop!
Keep pounding the rivets!

Eliminate that hole all together and while they are at it they can
delete the CNC coordinates to that drag inducing passenger duct thingy
as well.

On a related subject, for those that have finished wiring or nearly finished
wiring, how much wire and what gauges did you end up using. I know every
installation will be different but it would be nice to have a ballpark list
of wire lengths and gauges to compare to my estimates. Thanks.

We used a 9-pin D-sub connector from Radio Shack. We ended up going with
relay decks, though, which makes wiring the servo, the indicator, the switch
in the panel and the switch on the control stick a little bit of a pain,
really almost defeating the purpose for making them a quick disconnect. For
the Aileron and Rudder trims we used the same relay deck (that Van's sells)
and just soldered/crimped the wires.

Hi all,
What connector is everyone using to connect to the trim servo?
