| Subject: | Vetterman's exhaust clearance. |
--> RV10-List message posted by: "Doerr, Ray R [NTK]" <Ray.R.Doerr@sprint.com>
I installed the vetterman exhaust on the weekend and noticed
that the right heat/muff only has 1/4" clearance to the bottom of the
cowl while the left side has almost 1". Also I was not happy with the
way in whioch the hangers support the heat/muff. They are supported off
to the side of the pipe with a vertical hangar and then an angled
support from there. This make the heat/muff supported fairly well from
going up/down or left/right, but if the heat/muff is twisted which is
easy to do, it changes the clearance all the way around. The only thing
to keep the heat/muff from twisting is the three spring load bolts. No
matter how tight you make these, it is still easy to twist the heat/muff
to the point where the heat/muff will contact the cowl or the bottom of
the fuse. Has anyone else encountered this?
Thank You

Marcus,
A friend of mine who is building an RV-8 had some difficulty with Stark.
There were a couple issues, but basically the turn around time was considerable
(months). I'll get you in touch with him directly if you are interested in
hearing the details.
I went with Eastern Avionics for my avionics. They typically deal with
certificated aircraft, but I called them up to see what they could do. They were
willing to match pricing and the harness they built was very complete and
first class. They had everything in stock and it took less than a week to wire
up
and ship my GMA340 intercomm and SL30 radio. They even built in pig tails
for my Blue Mountain EFISs and GNS430. I powered up my panel last week and
everything worked great. Additionally, Ron Sormrude (_ronald@avionix.com_
(mailto:ronald@avionix.com) ) is a great guy to work with.

I spoke to John at Stark Avionics and plan to order everything through him
ASAP. It sounds like the shop is very busy so turn around is about a month.
Does anyone have anything other than positive experiences I should be aware
of prior to sending a check?
BTW, one of the posts mentioned they don't take credit cards. Actually they
do, they just add 3% to the total since their markup is so low.

--> RV10-List message posted by: Eric Panning <ericmpmail-rv10@yahoo.com>
I checked with Starks Avionics and this is what I
found:
GNS-430 $5855 + $250 pre-wire. Add $20 shipping
GMA-340 $1140 + $200 pre-wire. Add $20 shipping
GTX-327 $1420 + $70 prte-wire. Add $17 shipping
GNS-530 $9,475 + $250 pre-wire. Add $30 shipping
GTX-330 $3170 + $120 pre-wire. Add $25 shipping
These prices are better than Van's prices (below):
GNS-430 $6750
GMA-340 $1485
GTX-327 $1655
GNS-530 $10695
GTX-330 $3395
~ a $2700 savings.
Thanks for sending the link. I'm not close to ordering
yet, but for those that are I wonder if a bulk
purchase could be negotiated? Can anyone find better
prices?

Congratulations!
I too ordered the tail kit last week! I knew it was the plane for me
when It first showed up at Oshkosh. It will be interesting to track
your progress.
This email list is great! I just discovered it a couple weeks ago and
have already learned a lot!

Jim,
Thanks for the update, I'll give the folks at Eastern a shout. I think
I got my audio panel from them so hopefully they'll give me the same match
pricing treatment.
