I would guess that would be checked by lifting the front of the plane,
and then when the nose gear is hanging free, lift the nose gear.
When you get slop there, then you'd want to add it. It would be
to take up extra slop so there's not so much of a gear drop
as you lift off the ground. Ideally you'd have a nut to adjust
so that you could take up all of the slop, and your gear would
never have any in it.
As for when, I guess that all depends. I haven't rechecked mine,
and might not until summer.

For the clear cover, I went the conservative way and bought
3/32" pop rivets and pulled them. I did mine after paint which
was the biggest reason, but after doing it, I'd recommend it...
your right...they'd be hard to rivet without breaking something.
As for the landing light ones, I didn't use those lights so
I can't comment on those....maybe the same thing?

Larry:
NO shims are provided for the cowl / fuse hinge. The two side shims for the inside
bottom of the cabin cover are provided either in the fuselage or finish kit
I can't remember which. Mine had parts numbers on them. The top back inside
shim for the cabin cover came with my Emp. Kit I think.
I had to make the shims for the cowl / fuse as shown by the plans.

| Subject: | COM Ant Location |
Has anybody considered putting the COM antennas on the bottom of the wings,
like just next to the first inspection plate? Any good reason not to? I'm
not too crazy about the idea of putting them under the pilot's and copilot's
seats with all of the fuel, brake and control systems and the tail isn't
wide enough to put two of them side-by-side while allowing for the proper
spacing. Either on the wing-root fairing or on the bottom of the wing seems
to be a good place, unless the wing root location would be too close to the
gear.
Also, does anybody have a scan of the Van's wiring diagram for the -10? I
have one, but it's not down here in Ecuador with me. Anybody who purchased
the wiring harness, would you possibly be able to scan it and post it
somewhere for me to download?
Thanks!

Subject: RV10-List: RV-10 propeller test?
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, or call me at (805) 795-5377.
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?
The Hartzell builders are the only ones with the RV-10 Hartzell propellers.
It looks like it is up to someone with a flying RV-10 using a Hartzell propeller
to step forward, if both propellers are to be tested on a common airframe.
Regards,
Jim Ayers

It seems that when you have a monopoly on the market, you can charge
whatever you want. Is it really a $3K-$4K price increase? What was the
reason cited...lack of competition!

The price increases on certified engines was effective at the beginning
of the year. You may have noticed a significant increase in prices from
Van's or the factory at that time.
The increase that we are talking about is on the Experimental engines.
The reason we have been given is the significant increase in raw
materials and labor to produce the parts. Yes, the increase is really
going to be in the 4k range and is due solely to the price increase from
the factory to the suppliers.

I checked Van's on new aircraft engines; their prices are changed yearly in
August for shipments that arrive after January, so unless things are
different this year the new OEM price will stray same at Van's until Aug 31.

Does anybody know of a free CAD program that can import the wiring
diagrams from AeroElectric.com and edit them? Still needing the Van's
wiring diagram as well, if anybody has it.

As I recall my engine was $38900 from Van's for December 2004 delivery,
price for delivery in 2005 was $42600 so would expect some kind of price
increase from Van's late August. I suspect Lycoming trying to squeeze the
experimental assemblers of IO540s from certified parts.

--> RV10-List message posted by: Deems Davis <deemsdavis@cox.net>
After getting a lot of input from the Matronics board, and talking off
line to several people. I made my engine choice and today I placed my
order with Allen Barrett of BPA Engines http://www.bpaengines.com/ . The
timing of my decision was based on the price increase for the overhaul
kits from Lycoming in 1 or 2 days. I already saw one price increase and
want to avoid another. BPA is a respected engine builder they use the
kit from Lycoming, similar to Aero Sport and Mattituck, only they do
some extras eg. porting and flow matching, custom paint, dynamically
balancing the rotating parts to a much stricter tolerance than others.
(Others will do this but for extra fees).Then they do something unique,
they run your engine on their dyno for 1 1/2 hours with a minute by
minute printout that you get. Their attitude is that they believe this
is the only way to build an engine and they won't build it otherwise.
they'd rather let business go to other shops than build to a lower
standard. I think that speaks tons to the mindset and attitude/culture
that governs the way they operate. They also do Kirby Chamblis, and
Patty Wagstaff's engines as well. Allen Barrett made a personal call to
me to answer all of my questions and was extremely professional. As one
person said "picking an engine is a painful experience" and each
individual decision is governed by what is most important to that
person. In this case BPA met my criteria and I'm happy with the
decision. Thanks again to all who contributed knowledge and information
to this process

| Subject: | Trim Speed & Tail Wire Run |
--> RV10-List message posted by: "Conti, Rick" <rick.conti@boeing.com>
Flying RV-10s,
I have read that the trim motors run too fast for easy trim in level
flight. I have a speed controller I plan on wiring via a relay. The
speed controller will only be in the circuit when the fuel pump is off.
I want "regular" trim speed during the critical phases of flight
(takeoff & landing). However, do you think the speed is too fast even
for takeoff and landing? I have a second speed controller I can use if
that is the case.
Also - what wire routing did you use for your tail nav and strobes (if
any)? My concern is where to enter the empennage.
Thank You

I know Aerosport is popular ,and plenty of people love their Aerosport engine,
but I can't see sending my money out of the country when I can send it 300 or

I think the speed is just right during takeoff and landing and
I wouldn't want to slow it down any during those phases. I was
considering a switch to select high or low speed. Your idea
of doing it with the boost pump sounds pretty good, actually.

--> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com>
It's not extreme if you just tap it. It actually isn't too bad. It's
just at high speed, it takes a bit of tapping back and forth sometimes
to get it just right. In addition, I had a spooky experience once where
a notebook on my lap laid on the trim switch for nose-up trim. It only
takes 1/2 second of the button being held down to give an EXTREME and
immediate pitch up, when you're at cruise speed. If you're flying
IFR and have charts, and stuff on your lap, you don't want anything
hitting that trim button. Slowing down the trim a bit ... only during
high speed operation, would not only make trimming it perfectly a
little more precise, but would add some safety as well. It does not
need to be slower at low speeds though...you'll want full speed trim
at lower airspeeds.
I don't think that this is necessarily a "gotta" do, but I think it's
probably a good idea. Test it for yourself. Fly along at 140 KTS
or so and hold the nose up trim for 1/2 second....then see what you
think. I also think that if someone has no worries at all about it
after doing the test, they should feel comfortable leaving it as-is.
It's another builder-preference item, as are most all of them.

RE: RV10-List: Engine choice - I made my mineI've been helped by a number of posts
on this list and have yet to contribute. Here's my 2 cents..........I ordered
my engine from BPA and, Rhonda tells me, it will be dyno'd this Fri or next
Mon. When making my decision I was particularly impressed with Allens' response
to my questions and, what I perceived as, his personal attention and interest.
He helped me make decisions re ignition, injection and desired hp. I'm
impressed with the way I was guided through the process and anxiously await

The reason sited "off record" was the astronomical multi-million dollar
(jury)settlement granted the plaintiff in the crankshaft litigation.
The cost is being equitably passed through to those who use the product.
We are getting all that the best legal system in the world can provide.
Product liability can only do so much, that is why we are building
Experimental and not buying Certified. Tort is such a great concept.

Does anyone know whether this price increase is just on engines being

to engine shops or does this price increase also involve the certified
versions from Lyco.
It seems that when you have a monopoly on the market, you can charge
whatever you want. Is it really a $3K-$4K price increase? What was the
reason cited...lack of competition!

After getting a lot of input from the Matronics board, and talking off
line to several people. I made my engine choice and today I placed my
order with Allen Barrett of BPA Engines http://www.bpaengines.com/ . The
timing of my decision was based on the price increase for the overhaul
kits from Lycoming in 1 or 2 days. I already saw one price increase and
want to avoid another. BPA is a respected engine builder they use the
kit from Lycoming, similar to Aero Sport and Mattituck, only they do
some extras eg. porting and flow matching, custom paint, dynamically
balancing the rotating parts to a much stricter tolerance than others.
(Others will do this but for extra fees).Then they do something unique,
they run your engine on their dyno for 1 1/2 hours with a minute by
minute printout that you get. Their attitude is that they believe this
is the only way to build an engine and they won't build it otherwise.
they'd rather let business go to other shops than build to a lower
standard. I think that speaks tons to the mindset and attitude/culture
that governs the way they operate. They also do Kirby Chamblis, and
Patty Wagstaff's engines as well. Allen Barrett made a personal call to
me to answer all of my questions and was extremely professional. As one
person said "picking an engine is a painful experience" and each
individual decision is governed by what is most important to that
person. In this case BPA met my criteria and I'm happy with the
decision. Thanks again to all who contributed knowledge and information
to this process

Dan you might have tried sending it direct to Jesse rather than world wide.
No yelling needed.

I know I am going to get yelled at for this, but seeing how you are way down
south here is the PDF of the wiring harness, it is 1.4mg, so should not be too
bad for the dialup guys.
Sorry before hand, but want to help a fellow RV'r out.

Does anybody know of a free CAD program that can import the wiring diagrams from
AeroElectric.com and edit them? Still needing the Van's wiring diagram as
well, if anybody has it.

I have no personal experience with this product but do find it interesting.
They suggest using a flap position sensor to determine high vs. low speed, but
it would seem easy to use your idea of the fuel pump switch too.

If dan had replied directly, I may not have known of, or benefited from his
efforts of scanning the electrical prints. I have found them tremendously
helpful in planning at my stage of construction. Thanks for risking life and
limb and posting.
