Feel free to post them. Need MORE Rv-10 Pics too!

You guys give me so much credit, but hey, if it weren't for other's, I'd never have all the info that I have. I for one have used other websites sometimes, like the great Checkoway site, and F1 rocketboy, and many many others. Just by having a photo to see, it gives great ideas. James was great for photos. He had probably over 4 million by the time he quit. ;) Many sites though don't spend too much time giving actual part numbers and things like that, which is where I hope to add some good info. For some issues, it's so stinkin' hard to figure out what to use. So really, thank you all for all of your help. When I finish my -10, I will really owe it to a lot of others, and I feel compelled to pass it on by continuing on the list and continuing to add info to the site and improve on what's there today. I do have one current project in the waiting....after getting to the point where the rear seat heat has to get through by the fuel valve, I decided to completely rework my fuel lines and valve handle. I won't pass on much info right now to the list, but within a month I should have it all complete I hope. The hinge point is going to be how fast my andair order goes out. If you're on the fuselage, you may want to wait to do your fuel lines until after the other things are done and you're going to route your heater line. It gets very tight. What I'm going to do, should make fuel line installation go much smoother, and give plenty of clearance for the heater line....at the same time, it'll keep the fuel lines from being quite as warmed by the heat. More to come....with part numbers. ;) Thanks again guys!

Rick S. 40185 Fuselage ________________________________ Message 13 ____________________________________ Time: 09:30:16 AM PST US Subject: RE: RV10-List: Engine Istall If you buy an assembled engine and plan on having it sit for a long period of time, there are some things you should consider. Most pickling oil is good for six months. Afterwards, the engine needs to be rotated and cylinders refogged to help combat corrosion. If this is not done, the cylinders can corrode, and although the engine will still have good compressions, it will use more oil. It is better to not accept delivery of your engine if you are not within a 6-8 month window for installation.

I expect this list will be as useful when building the -10 as the Pietenpol list was when building that airplane. I'll probably do the same thing for an engine I did on that plane - buy a run-out "core" and rebuild it myself. I built the engine on the Piet and it is absolutely the smoothest running A65 Continental I've ever flown behind. Flying it to OSH (37 hours of flying, round trip) it only burned 1-1/2 quarts of oil. Should be able to do the same with an O-540 - just takes more money. Maybe I can build the engine this winter. I promised my fiancee I wouldn't build another airplane for at least a year, but made no mention of building an engine.

Perhaps the list has some input though. --------------- I just am finishing up hooking up the Throttle/Prop/Mixture cables today. All went well except the throttle. The Throttle cable doesn't have enough throw to it. If I set the full-throttle position to move the fuel injection throttle arm to the full position, I can't pull the lever back to minimum idle...the quadrant still has a ways it can pull back. If I disconnect the quadrant end of the cable, I can still move the quadrant lever back, so the quadrant's throw is fine, but I can't pull the cable back because there's not enough throw built into the cable itself. Have you had this issue before? What's the fix, a different cable?

Many of us will be traveling to be with our families and friends and share in generous feasts of plenty. Many have expressed over the last couple of weeks how thankful they are for the Aviation Lists here on the Matronics servers and for all of the assistance and comradery they have experienced being a part of the Lists. I think one of my favorite comments is when someone says something like, "Its the first thing I do in the morning while I'm having my morning coffee!". That's a wonderful tribute to the purpose and function of these Lists. Its always great to hear I'm not the only one that jumps out of bed each morning to check my List email!! I'm not sure why, but the number of Contributions have been a little low this year compared to years past. Hopefully people are just waiting until the last minute to make their List Support Contribution this year. Won't you take a minute today and show your appreciation for these Lists and for their continued operation and upgrade? Don't make me beg... :-) lol The List Contribution Site is: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Thanks to everyone that already made their Contribution!

When I did that, the holes on the 1046 do not have the proper edge spacing (2d). I am going out to look again, but I don't think I made a mistake earlier in assembling the 1005c and 1005e. Is that the way it is supposed to be? T.

The throttle lever will then still not go fully forward and backward in the quadrant like it is supposed to. Sure, it's kind of cosmetic, but it means something to me. Late today I got the following reply...remember that my throw was 1.93" ----- I measured several cables at random and they all have more than 2" travel. Somewhere in the area of 2 3/16" give or take a little. I don't know why yours is short. ----- That was it....so, now I can tell that most cables should be perfect for me. I figure I'm about 1/4" short on travel. Now I just have to see if they're going to get an A, B, C, D, or F on customer service on this one. They got a A for the engine mount rework, and for getting me the quadrant plans. Hopefully they'll come through this time. I did write back and ask if I could send mine in and get one with the proper travel. Thanks guys, for the ideas though. If all else fails, I've decided not to drill my arm, but to contact the manufacturer and see if they'll deal with it if Van's doesn't.
