Thanks Jesse! Did a search for Aerotrim kit, no info. Where did you get
yours? Do aileron and Rudder work together or separate? I am planning on
having my elevator and aileron trim on the hat switch on the stick.

We have the AeroTrim kit installed for Aileron and Rudder. They are
awesome! The rudder pedals are used strictly for ground control, nothing
used in the air at all. Also, with that much fuel in the wings, you don=92t
want to be fighting the ailerons all the time, and it is nice to take a
little bit of torque off the auto pilot. We wouldn=92t have it any other way.

Subject: | Soundproofing Material |
Larry,
This is very similar to what I've been looking at using. http://www.quietcoat.com/index.html They are both viscoelastic materials similar to what our front seats are made of. Only difference is quiet coat is spray on and b-quiet is a mat with a butyl rubber adhesive and aluminum layer. The butyl adhesive will add a layer of high density to further assist in stopping the wave propagation from the skins but most of the work is done by the "smart" foam. The main job of the adhesive is to get the waves into the foam where they can be converted to heat. With the quiet coat being a spray on, it should have superior adhesion. The aluminum layer is primarily a heat shield and won't really add much other than weight. Not trying to change your mind, just trying to do a quick comparison. Either way both of these products should give equal or better performance to the heavier asphalt mats.
Let us know how it works.

I've got the Van's kit. It is a spring bias system driven by a servo,
installation is in the wing at the inboard access panel. I considered
the Aerotrim after seeing it at OSH but this seemed to be a cleaner
installation. I'm not flying yet so can't provide feedback on
functionality.

Subject: | RV-10 propeller tests |
Hi All,
Is anyone willing to test both the RV-10 MT Propeller and the RV-10 Hartzell
propeller on their flying RV-10?
Please contact me directly at _jim@lessdrag.com_ (mailto:jim@lessdrag.com)
Van's Aircraft hasn't had time available with their RV-10 to test the RV-10
MT Propeller.
The Hartzell propeller Van's Aircraft sells to RV-10 builders, model number
C2YR-1BFP/F8068D, is unique to the RV-10.
In talking with Hartzell, apparently the C2YR-1BFP/F8068D propeller can only
be purchased from Van's Aircraft.
And Van's Aircraft can only sell one Hartzell propeller to each builder.
Do you see were this is going?
Van;s Aircraft and the RV-10 builders are the only ones with the RV-10
Hartzell propeller.
It looks like it is up to someone with a flying RV-10 with the RV-10
Hartzell propeller to step forward, if both propellers are to be tested on a common
airframe.
It might even be interesting to see how a standard Hartzell propeller
compares to the RV-10 Hartzell propeller.

Jim Ayers

Although it's almost a necessity in parts of the fuselage, you can
easily get by with just the snap bushings in the wings. Only thing I
did was use the next larger size (625-7 called out, I used 625-8). For
those new to the list, also consider that you may have wingtip nav
antenna coax (one or both wings), marker beacon antenna coax, and/or the
AOA pressure tap lines.
My specific configuration included all of the above (navs in both
wingtips), Whelen strobe/nav lights, Van's landing lights, heated pitot,
standard stall warning and the TruTrak roll servo.

I've been trying to decide on what type and size of conduit to use, and
would like suggestions from the group. I would rather not use Van's
conduit because I am not fond of corrugated conduit and If it it like
the stuff I used before on other applications, after 20 years or so it
will disintegrate.
So, I'm thinking of PVC electrical conduit. So far so good, except what
size? This stuff all has 1/8" walls, so add 1/4" to the I.D. to get the
O.D.
But, how far can I enlarge the rib holes before I get into trouble?
would 3/4" (1.05" O.D) be too large?
(I did look at Teflon conduit/tubing, from McMaster-Carr, which has a
1/16" wall, but it's $5 per foot! Ouch!)
I plan on having the following installed in the wings (left wing for
example)
1. Whelean Strobes
2. Duckworks HID lights
3. Van's Landing Light (yep, both; Van's tip light to be used as a
taxi light)
4. Nav lights
5. Heated Pitot

Make the Van's landing lights alternate on/off during approach and you have
a list that is almost exactly mine. I'm going with an AOA and probably no
extra tanks, but everything else looks great. Am therefore very interested

used that fell apart in the 20 years? I have plenty of time to make a

Secondly, for these conduit runs, does one just make a new hole in the
rib / bulkhead for it to pass through? any worries about structural
integrity? I think the stuff I have is around 1 - 1-1/4 inches on the OD.

I have similar stuff, without the van's tip lights and the fuel pump.
I ran my TruTrak servo wires in the same place the pitot line is
run in the opposite wing. May as well run it there, since it's
not being used for anything else, and is closer to the servo.
I ran my strobe wires in snap bushings towards the rear of the wing.
No big reason...just because. Considering this, there is a fair
amount of space left over in my standard Van's conduit. So if
you did something similar, you wouldn't need to worry
about going anywhere near 1". I think 1" might be pushing it
anyway.

I did use innerduct, but that was in the fuselage to go to the
tail. My runs to the wingtips seem to be great on space, given
the way I laid it out (you'll see in my other reply). I
think that people with an EFIS should for sure consider
some alternative for the front to tail run. There I think you'll
run out of space really quick. That 1" innerduct I think will
be perfect for that location....one per side.
Glad to hear you were able to "Procure" (same as "swipe" ;) )
some for yourself. I think it should last a good long time.
It lasts for years and years in commercial buildings.
As for that hole size....given the location for front to tail,
it didn't seem to structurally be very bad. I don't think
I'd like to run it to the wingtips though. I think I've even
heard something somewhere about a max size hole in the wing
ribs, and I don't think it was that big. But, I don't know
where I heard that.

Sounds about right. I used thin wall ABS irrigation pipe somewhere around 7/8".
Should be pulling all my wires in about 3-4 weeks and I'll know if it's enough
then. For me it's:
LEFT WING
-Nav Ant
-Position lights
-strobe
-Duck HID
-pitot heat
-TT AP Servo (run separate)
-AOA tap (run separate)
-Pitot tube (run with AOA tap)
RIGHT WING
-Nav Ant
-MB antenna
-Position lights
-strobe
-Duck HID (maybe)
-Trim servo (Run separately)
Couple things to note, I ran some of those separate mainly because the existing
tooling holes in the ribs made it more convenient and I wouldn't have to tap
off the conduit. No stall warning wiring because the AOA is much more accurate
as a stall warning device so I didn't install the stall vane.

am not fond of corrugated conduit and If it it like the stuff I used before on
other applications, after 20 years or so it will disintegrate.
So, I'm thinking of PVC electrical conduit. So far so good, except what size? This
stuff all has 1/8" walls, so add 1/4" to the I.D. to get the O.D.
But, how far can I enlarge the rib holes before I get into trouble? would 3/4"
(1.05" O.D) be too large?
(I did look at Teflon conduit/tubing, from McMaster-Carr, which has a 1/16" wall,
but it's $5 per foot! Ouch!)
I plan on having the following installed in the wings (left wing for example)
1. Whelean Strobes
2. Duckworks HID lights
3. Van's Landing Light (yep, both; Van's tip light to be used as a taxi light)
4. Nav lights
5. Heated Pitot
6. The Kit's stall warning system
7. Facet Fuel pump for tip tank transfer (3amp)
8. TruTrak roll servo
If you've already done something similar, what is the wire bundle size?
Decisions, Decisions... What have I gotten myself into?

One thing to consider; check what happens if you have an electrical fire or smoldering
due to a short. Will the conduit give off poisonous fumes and will they
get to the cabin?

Sounds about right. I used thin wall ABS irrigation pipe somewhere around 7/8".
Should be pulling all my wires in about 3-4 weeks and I'll know if it's enough
then. For me it's:
LEFT WING
-Nav Ant
-Position lights
-strobe
-Duck HID
-pitot heat
-TT AP Servo (run separate)
-AOA tap (run separate)
-Pitot tube (run with AOA tap)
RIGHT WING
-Nav Ant
-MB antenna
-Position lights
-strobe
-Duck HID (maybe)
-Trim servo (Run separately)
Couple things to note, I ran some of those separate mainly because the existing
tooling holes in the ribs made it more convenient and I wouldn't have to tap
off the conduit. No stall warning wiring because the AOA is much more accurate
as a stall warning device so I didn't install the stall vane.

Although it's almost a necessity in parts of the fuselage, you can easily get
by with just the snap bushings in the wings. Only thing I did was use the next
larger size (625-7 called out, I used 625-8). For those new to the list, also
consider that you may have wingtip nav antenna coax (one or both wings), marker
beacon antenna coax, and/or the AOA pressure tap lines.
My specific configuration included all of the above (navs in both wingtips),
Whelen strobe/nav lights, Van's landing lights, heated pitot, standard stall warning
and the TruTrak roll servo.

Won't you have the same problem with the insulation on the wire itself?
Short of explosion proof conduit and fittings and connections I don't
see how to avoid that particular scenario...

Are you able to fit all the wires through the 625-8 snap bushings?
What size wire did you use for the services?
Someone asked what size holes can be drilled in the ribs. Vans does have a positon on this. You can see it here <http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/confaq.htm> and select Routing of wires and tubes in the Wing. The main wire routing hole can be able to be drilled out to 3/4" and use a SB750-10 bushing wiht a 5/8" ID.

Both the male & female "pipe" threads are tapered. IF it had tighten up to

All are through the bushings except for the TT roll servo which goes through the
same holes that the pitot lines uses on the other wing. I can get details of
the wire sizes tomorrow PM but they were sized to keep the voltage drop to less
than .5 volts with a min size of #22. Antennas are all RG-400. AOA lines
run through bushings with the wires.

You can see it here <http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/confaq.htm> and select Routing of wires and tubes in the Wing. The main wire routing hole can be able to be drilled out to 3/4" and use a SB750-10 bushing wiht a 5/8" ID.

Sean,
They are NPT or National Pipe Thread. This type of thread is tapered and the more
you tighten it the further and tighter it gets until you give up or it strips
out. Put some fuel lube on the male part of the threads, a little goes a long
way. Snug up the inner fitting first then while holding the inner fitting tighten
the outer. During your leak checks you can snug these fittings until any
leaks stop if you find any. I suggest for now you apply a little lube and just
hand tighten until final assembly. Then tighten all the fittings. My plan is
to put some fuel in the tanks and flush them a bit prior to connecting them
to the fuselage feeds. Then pull the drains and get rid of the excess fuel and
reinstall them. At this stage just put,em back into the holes for storage and
contamination prevention.

Thanks all for the replies.
I did it right then. I put a bit of ez-turn on them and snugged them up
good.
Thanks again for the confirmation.

seems the link had changed, here directly to the item you're looking at:
http://www.milspecproducts.com/245213info.htm
and the pricing:
http://www.milspecproducts.com/c-lockprice.htm
they seem to be a tad cheaper then skybolt (but look the same)
