I have installed the Pedriheliondesigns Fat Wire and although yet to start the
engine I am real happy with the purchase and install. I installed as per Van's
Wiring Harness design with a Concord Battery. The Fat Wire is really lite weight
and everybody who has seen mine likes it.
I also am using the Fat Wire connection lugs and like them as well.

Sounds real close to what I did (the Battery stuff). I didn't use
Fatwire just because of cost, but I would think it would be
an excellent option for those so inclined.
My Batteries are an Odyssey 925 in the back (I didn't put it on it's
side, but enlarged the tray...either way works fine) and I wanted
a bit more juice from the Aux, so I have 4 thin SLA's that
just make it tucked into some wasted space.
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/panel/20051228/index.html
At present, I have it all wired up and working, but I don't have
photos yet.
My diagram is available too.
Today's is
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/electrical/N104CD_Electrical_Schematic_Rev5.pdf
But I change it as I find small things as I'm currently wiring it.
It might be a bit different than what some people would do, but
I'm happy with it.

Does anyone know who was involved in the building of Alex DeDominicis's
RV-10? I thought I had heard he was, but I want to
make sure. On the VAF site, they show the Nhys, DeDominicis, and
TruTrak RV-10's all lined up in a row, so they must not be too
far from eachother.
I would be interested in traveling for a bit of transition training
soon, but as some of us discussed at OSH, I would have some concerns
if there were ties to one particular builder who's work we got to
inspect. There are certain planes I will not fly in, and certain
builders who I would not fly in their planes. From our
offline discussions at OSH, I'm sure many of you know what I mean.
I just want to make sure before I would try to get any transition
training from related parties.

Neat stuff and I am considering it. Much lighter and it is actually #2+ as it
is really a little better than #2. Send Eric an email with your address and he
will send you a short sample of the different wires. And you can always use
the sample as a short run. ;-)

Thanks Michael, that's great to know. See if you can find out.
If he built it himself, or with a reputable builder assist
shop, then I would be very interested in zipping down sometime
in the next month and a half maybe and getting a few hours
in. I just want to "know the product" a bit. I'm sure

While building my RV10 tail kit, I came across several new ideas that many builders
may be interested in. The first part that I wanted to "improve" was the
trim tab cable weldment. I know the weldment included in the kit is OK, but
I didn't like the "tack-weld" of the small nut. I had my nephew Dave (Rivethead-Aero.com)
make me up a new part that replaces that weldment. It is made from
6061 aluminum billet and is set at the exact same angle as the steel weldment.
It rivets on with 4 rivets as the other part. Dave said the aluminum part
is three times stronger then Van's part.
If you are interested in this part, let me know and I'll gask Dave to start pumping
them out on his CNC. I can also email you a picture of it if interested.
Also, if you are having problems cutting out the Horizontal Stab L brackets
from the stock provided in the tail kit, again, Dave made me up 2 on the CNC.
He cut the 9 holes on the one side and the 2 on the other. Needless to say,
they lined up perfectly when mounted to the HS Stab spar. I have pictures to
email interested.

I just used some female threaded tube cut to size and ran the screws
snug. Then used fiberglass (W/filler) to build up the area inside thus
securing the threaded tube. After letting it set up, just reverse out
the screws and mount the light. Worked well for me. I am sure that there
are other options as well.

Your batt install is the best use of airframe space I've seen. I also like
your strap hold-down idea. I'm using a nylon strap as well ... secured with
velcro on top of batt plus velcro between the strap on the return fold.
Question:
What program did you use to to draw your wiring diagram? Did you down load
the symbols from Aeroelectric? I just ordered TurboCAD from ebay V9.2 ...

Thanks Jerry. I used Autocad 2000, I think it is. I just loaded
up one of Bob's existing drawings and then moved things around.
I didn't use any symbol libraries until today when I finally
decided to replace the symbol for the ammeter shunt for something
more like a Hall Effect sensor.
I too was thinking of ordering TurbCAD from Ebay just because it's
so cheap and it might be a nice long-term program to use. The
Autocad I have is kind of a "loaner".

Guys, Guys. William finally go to the point. The difference between #2
and #4 and down into the 00s boils down to resistance. The resistance
change with the temps we live in don't amount to a hill of beans ....
old electrical term, believe me ..... but the battery does suffer due to
low temperatures. When you're trying to push 200 or 250 or whatever
cold cranking amps down that starter wire, that insignificant difference
in resistance results in a major voltage drop change by the time you get
to the starter.
Having said that, if someone wants to plumb their bird with #10 house
wire .... well, just have at it. Think of it as an experiment. Also,
get some training on how to properly prop an airplane. (OSHA warning
goes here :-D )
For myself, I like to use welding cable ..... far more flexible, less
prone to vibration failures, and it's able to handle the current just
fine. So what if I suffer a small weight penalty ..... I don't have to
worry about starving my starter when I need it.

Deems,
Pics on the way to you to post. Dave will post it to his site when he gets caught
up on the CNC stuff he has going.
Btw, he is also working on a hydro-formed one piece Trim Tab Access panel that
will replace the existing one. This Trim Tab Cover will have a "fairing" on
it that is integral (one piece) with the Trim Tab Cover. He will have one ready
in a couple of weeks. I'll post when it is finished.

| Subject: | Re: Negative Battery Cable Connection |
The real issue with increased wire size is decreased resistance. #4 copper
wire has a resistance of .000249 ohms per foot, #2 has .000156 ohms per
foot. These numbers are small, however with a high current draw (starter
for example) it makes a huge difference. There's also internal battery
resistance to take into account (.004 ohms is a typical value). Bottom line
is that you WILL have voltage drop across the wire, how much is dependent on
total resistance and current draw. When the temperature is really cold the
battery has less capacity AND the engine is harder to turn.
An excellent tutorial on the above is located at
http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/wiresize.pdf

Yep, no worries. Sent an email off to Martin to find out. I'm guessing Alex will
probably be flying of the 40 hours pretty quick as training is one of his
main gig's I believe. He's fairly well known in these parts and sells a lot of
TT and other avionics stuff too. I don't personally know him but will probably

Thanks Michael, that's great to know. See if you can find out.
If he built it himself, or with a reputable builder assist shop, then I would be
very interested in zipping down sometime in the next month and a half maybe
and getting a few hours in. I just want to "know the product" a bit. I'm sure
you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Oh ya, we can keep him busy. Tell him to expect many, many orders for the trim
cable bracket, assuming they are reasonably priced. ;-)

Deems,
Pics on the way to you to post. Dave will post it to his site when he gets caught
up on the CNC stuff he has going.
Btw, he is also working on a hydro-formed one piece Trim Tab Access panel that
will replace the existing one. This Trim Tab Cover will have a "fairing" on
it that is integral (one piece) with the Trim Tab Cover. He will have one ready
in a couple of weeks. I'll post when it is finished.
Zack

Guys,
Dave will sell the Trim Tab Cable Anchor Bracket (replacement for the WD-415
that is supplied with the kit) for $15 a piece. I have installed these brackets
on my Rv10 kit. Dave is an engineer and told me that these brackets are 3
times stronger than the steel weldment that Vans supplies in the kit. It also
has more threads to grab the trim tab cable. It has a wider "footprint" than
Vans weldment yet it still clears the Trim Tab cover plate doubler with no problem.
4 holes are pre drilled. Very easy to install. Made of 6061 aluminum.
If you want a set, please call Dave at 302-437-6087. He can answer all your
questions.

I won't be buying one until maybe in the fall after it's flying, but
it may very well be useful if you're flying up in the Michigan parts
like you may. Not at all in the summer, but only winter. We had
a plate on our last plane that got installed once the OAT was
consistently under 40 degrees. It had about a 1.5" hole in the
center, but otherwise the oil cooler air was blocked off. It greatly
helped keep the operating temperature proper in the winter. Without
it, the oil temp would never make it into the green, even after a
full power climb. You really want that oil temp to get up to
I think it's 185 degrees (don't quote me on that), or more, but that
doesn't happen in the winter around here on some engines without
the cooler flow restrictor.
