Today was my lucky day. I have to pass on the news that RV-10
N104CD took to the air for it's first flight this afternoon.
The takeoff was amazing, and once off the ground that IO-540 kicked
me in the pants with it's acceleration. This was a definite difference
from what I saw with N220RV. Within what seemed like seconds I was at
3500' AGL, as I was climbing at 2200 fpm. It flew absolutely
hands-off, with no need for aileron or rudder trim, although aileron
trim is installed on the plane. I flew some lazy circles around the
airport and then decided that I needed to show my face to the crowd
that had come in support today.
I set up for my first landing, slowed it down and put her gently
back on the runway for a completely non-eventful landing, just
the way it should be. I had to take it back up one more time
just to waste the rest of the daylight, and I put over an hour on
it for the day. There's no wheel pants on it yet, so I don't
have any good speed numbers for you, but I know I was over 150 KTS
for the flight (no mph for this guy).
The Chelton system worked great, and when I turned on the Autopilot
it flew using both GPSS and GPSV and tracked a course to the airport
chosen on the EFIS.
I'll now have to spend the next few hours getting some of the
instrument calibrations perfected, and finishing up those wheel pants
for our upcoming trip to Sun-N-Fun in Florida.
Just wanted to pass on the news!

Congratulations Tim on your great accomplishment. I can only imagine the sense
of pride you and your family must feel. With all the time you have spent on building
and maintaining your web site I imagine your wife has a big RV grin on
her face just knowing that she may have you back available more often. She seems
like a very supportive wife, based on all of your pictures.
Thanks for sharing with all of us your journey, it really has help me, and I'm
sure many others, at times as I progress through my building.

Thanks Wayne (and thanks to the others who are sending both to the
list or personal messages (don't forget your do not archive (s) if you
send to the list. ;) )
It really has been a great feeling. Just to comfort the unflying, once
you get the panel and finishing kit complete, the final wrap-up time
goes by quick. Really from finish paint forward, it's much more fun.
The painting and canopy/door stage is kind of like the "weed out" test
for builders....if you make it though that, you're home free.
As for my wife, I think she's just as happy for me, and yes, she's
absolutely the best wife in the world for me. She was supportive,
understanding, and allowed me to be as dedicated as I could. I did
try to give a little balance by ensuring some time with the family
each week, but the last 2 weeks were harder for the kids, which is
why I picked up the pace and worked longer nights. It's much less
convenient to work when it's at the hanger than when it's at home,
so I tried to shorten that time.
We're all ready to start flying places and seeing things. Just
need to get those wheel pants done and the flyoff completed.
Everyone just keep pounding away. I may have been about #26 complete,
but since I'm kit #170, there must be a ton of you who are not
that far away...and I hear we're now either almost to, or just passing
the 600 mark, so we're going to be a heck of a crew soon!

Can someone tell me what the "+To" and "+From" wires from a nav radio
actually do? What data do they send?
I have them on my SL30 and it would seem like it sends data that states
you are TO or FROM a VOR, but I have the same outputs on my GX60 which
is a IFR certified GPS/Comm and I would not expect it on that unit if
they were relating to a VOR.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome!!! That's great news Tim. And WOW, you really did fly through the
last of the building/final assembly stage. Probably why we haven't heard
much from you in the last couple weeks. Anyway, we can all hope you
continue on with discussions on the lists. Your knowledge and instruction
has definitely been a huge help to me!!!

Thanks Ray! A lot of people are asking about the flyoff time.
Sorry I haven't had a chance to write it up on my website yet.
My DAR asked well before the inspection what Engine I had (Lyc)
and which Prop (Hartzell) and he was very quick to respond
when I gave him the replies that this was a good thing because
I'd only have a 25 hour flyoff. He didn't care that I had one
Lightspeed ignition and one Mag. Also, I never did finish
choosing an interior dome light, and of course my Aux.
Alternator will be added later. On those items I put a
piece of Brother P-Touch label over the panel label that said
"INOP" and he was glad to see that. One other thing...don't
forget that you need a compass correction card. The night before
I printed a simple one out and just taped it on the panel
under the compass. You don't have to fill it in, but it
needs to be there. He did not make me have a Pitot test
before flight, but warned me to get a Pitot Static for IFR
before I fly IFR. I plan to do that anyway. I also plan
to do a dynamic balance on the prop, just to waste some
more money...it helped on my old plane.
Make sure you get some red Silicone RTV and use it to secure
wires in your engine compartment. Some of my photos may show
this well. They really liked that.

Today was my lucky day. I have to pass on the news that RV-10
N104CD took to the air for it's first flight this afternoon.
The takeoff was amazing, and once off the ground that IO-540 kicked
me in the pants with it's acceleration. This was a definite difference
from what I saw with N220RV. Within what seemed like seconds I was at
3500' AGL, as I was climbing at 2200 fpm. It flew absolutely
hands-off, with no need for aileron or rudder trim, although aileron
trim is installed on the plane. I flew some lazy circles around the
airport and then decided that I needed to show my face to the crowd
that had come in support today.
I set up for my first landing, slowed it down and put her gently
back on the runway for a completely non-eventful landing, just
the way it should be. I had to take it back up one more time
just to waste the rest of the daylight, and I put over an hour on
it for the day. There's no wheel pants on it yet, so I don't
have any good speed numbers for you, but I know I was over 150 KTS
for the flight (no mph for this guy).
The Chelton system worked great, and when I turned on the Autopilot
it flew using both GPSS and GPSV and tracked a course to the airport
chosen on the EFIS.
I'll now have to spend the next few hours getting some of the
instrument calibrations perfected, and finishing up those wheel pants
for our upcoming trip to Sun-N-Fun in Florida.
Just wanted to pass on the news!

Congratulations Tim!!
I am at the point where I need to install overhead lighting. For those
of you who have completed this step, how did you attach the lights and
what "model" lights did you use? Where did you run the wires? I know
the LEDs are very popular. I am considering swivel reading lights over
the back seats. Also, did anyone install sound proofing in the roof?
As an aside, I am giving very serious thought to installing an armrest
('98 Cadillac DeVille armrest measures very nicely) between the rear
seats. It looks like it can easily be attached to the angle of the seat
backs and rotate up/down. The cup holder and space within would be very
useful. I think passengers can only sit for so long with their hands in
their lap. I'll keep you posted on the feasibility. Prices so far from
junk yards are $125 plus shipping. One may fit between the front seats
as well, don't know yet.

I wish I could help, but I gave up for the time being on the
overhead lights. I have a combo WSI/GPS antenna mounted
just aft of that support tube on the roof, so I have ground
and antenna wires to hide...so I really need a thin console
type light for that area to hide it. I think swivel lights
would be nice, the smaller the better. I don't think
you'll need much for soundproofing on the roof. You'll
appreciate it on the floors and firewall/sidewalls though.
I think your armrest in the rear seat should be a breeze
to do.
Good luck Rick, and if anyone knows of a good console that isn't
too thick, let me know. I may just have to resort to building
one myself. I do plan to build a quadrant cover too.

I ran my wires for the top canopy in the lip by the windshield.
I tack glued them in place and then used epoxy filler to fill over it to
create a better looking pillar from the inside. It turn out great. I
installed two red LED swivel lights from Stein Air in the roof.

They aren't the greatest but they are all I had with me at work. You
can see the three wires coming out of the bottom by the front pillar on the
passenger side. The wires run up on the inside to the center of the canopy and
then I drilled a tiny hole for then to run into the foam which is in the top
lid and then they come out the 1 =BD" holes I drilled on the inside top. I
removed about =BD" of the foam and then glassed in the bottom again. This will
allow the swivel eyeball to move freely.

I plan on creating a hard backing that my material will glue to
and the lights will mount to it. This is going to cover the top over
the pilot and copilot side to cover the bolts for the doors and run aft
to where the roof height increase 1".

How about running the wires through the windshield brace steel tube

Way to go! Geez, two years from crate to wheels off the ground is amazing.
I've been pounding away since November and am still on the HS. Anyway, I
hope to see N104CD at OSH this year and keep that website up and running.
It's a good resource for the rest of us.

Anyone on the list planning to paint their -10? I'm currently debating it
and am wondering what others thought. I'm not considering it as a way to
save money but rather as a "fun" challenge. Of course the wife thinks I'm
nuts and I probably am. Still, I'm wondering if there are some people on our
list that have painted a previous RV- project and would
like to pass on their opinions.
FWIW - a guy in our EAA chapter just finished his -7 which he painted
himself in a 4 color military scheme. He was really happy with the way it
turned out but said painting was a LONG and TEDIOUS process and he'd
probably elect to forgo it if he ever does another project.

You know, I painted my RV-8 and didn't think it was especially long and
tedious compared to other stages of the construction. Overall I'm glad I did
it and plan to repeat the process for the RV-3 I'm currently building. If
you're curious, my RV-8 paint experience is detailed here...

You built the rest of the plane - why not paint it?
I painted my RV-8A, I'll paint my RV-10. Paint set up was a make shift
paint booth in the hanger, wings and empennage painted off the fuselage
(highly recommended as you can rotate the wings while painting). I used PPG
Concept base coat, clear coat. Highly recommended for the amateur painter -
like me. I did a hard paint scheme that had a pearl yellow as the dominant
color. The RV-10 will NOT have this color!!
It does take time. I did one 400 grit wet sanding of the primer before top
coat. The nice to have fiberglass touches like filling in the rib ends of
the control surfaces and wing tips are the top time killers.

Thanks for the reply Rick. This is an area where I was also happy I had the Cogsdill
deburring tool.
My edge distances are not as good as yours. They vary between 1.0 to 1.5 hole
diameters. I sent Vans an email they requested pictures

Niko,
I have just about 1.50 hole distance, not quite 2 hole distance. Last check with
Vans was that is was OK...others may have different ideas but the rivet will
shear way before that piece of steel breaks out...this is one area the Cogsdill
deburring tool really shined.

That's how I got my antenna and light wires to the top. At the
bottom end of that tube, I think only one side is hollow, but it
was enough for at least 4 wires of 20-22 gauge, and 2 RG-400
coax lines. You have to be careful when drilling through your
glareshield, but otherwise it works well.

Cool side-effect of my first flight....
Van's posted my letter to them today, and it was the 26th RV-10 listed.
The side effect, today happened to be the day that the total number
of RV's hit 4500. I won't even try to claim that I was that number
changer, but it sure makes a cool round number to tell friends that
I could have been the 4500'th. The way these kits go together, the
percentage of RV-10's in that count is going to go up quick.

The tedious and long part doesn't bother me...it's having the right place to do
it. Tim had a paint booth available, even room for a properly filtered homemade
booth would be good. Make sure you use intrinsically safe electrical motors
on your ventilation fans. Careful of the good ol' EPA and airport restrictions
if your heading to the hangar to paint. Check with local autobody shops..they
may have the facility for you to use off hours..just get the prep done at home
and plan on a few good (read long) nights in the booth. It will make a difference
in the quality of your final product.
Aircraft/automotive paint can be downright lethal if the right breathing and eye
protection are not used....most people forget that the eyes will absorb dangerous
levels of toxins when you get to concentration levels that are reached
during spray painting. HVLP has lowered the levels in parts per million but you
will still need a full face fresh air supplied respirator.
Lastly...make sure your health is good enough to sustain extended time in a respirator.
The fed's require employers to have their employees tested to make sure
they can function safely in the masks. Sorry for the ramble, safety engineer
by profession seeping through.

Brian,
I painted my RV8 3 times. The first 2 times with Dupont Imron and the last with
PPG Concept. I like the PPG products better. They flow much better than
Imron. I used base coat/clear coat on all three. Definitely the way to go for
a beginner.
You should paint it if you can. It is a very messy, time consuming, and back
breaking work but it is also very rewarding. Do it if you can.
Zack

I will. I need to develop a lot of it during/after the flyoff.
You don't need to have one to be signed off...just the W&B.
I'll be putting together a whole POH for mine though, or at
least a bunch of information. It may be a little bit, but
it'll be open to all.
