If you ever have to trouble shoot fuel leaks or clean your fuel
filter, it might be a mess to remove the heater hoses for access. I
tied mine to the fuel vent line. I wish that I have a better
solution for it.

If you had a good way to hold them in place, out of the way of the controls,
there shouldn't be any reason that wouldn't work. The main problem is that
you have the pushrods and the rudder cables in there. The rods move up and
down and the rudder cables may have some slack in them from time to time,
especially when the plane is not flying, and you don't want that to rub your
cables. We are trying to avoid the tunnel as much as possible.

I am cutting a hole in the subpanel and rimming it with angle like the plans
suggest. Then I am going to support the back of the radio stack from there
as well. I know some people like to put in stiffeners and then cut the
panel to allow it to be removed in pieces instead of the whole panel at
once. Angle or thick stock like the panel itself would probably do the
trick there. I think finding a way to help support the heavy instruments
behind the panel is probably the best way to relieve stress on the panel.
With all that leverage, it would probably be lighter to do it this way as
well.

The only required wires in the tunnel are floscan, boost pump and flaps; the rest
of the wiring should probably go down the sides where sufficient lightening
holes already exist. Also, fastening the wiring to the aft heater hose may not
be a good idea given that the hose will get hot and eventually make the wiring
insulation brittle. I would not want potential shorts in areas that have flammable
liquids in the lines.

I did both, but because of the placement of the ports feel that you can wait
on making the AOA decision until later, so you have time to do some research
on the AOA. Here is my 1 minute explanation of my understanding.
The AOA uses two ports, one to top of the wing and one on the bottom of the
wing to sense local pressure. From these measurements, the AOA calculates
the angle of attack of the wing and thus gives you an indication of how
close you are to stalling.

Basically it uses differential pressure to calculate AoA. You can get more info from here: http://advanced-control-systems.com/AOAfaqs/aoafaqs.htm.
Also, you can get the wing kit for $400 so you can install that now and decide
on which system later assuming you go with Rob Hickman's.

Jeff,
The stall warning that Vans supplies is very basic. I wanted something better.
The AOA system is much better. As you know, a wing only stalls when it exceeds
it's critical angle of attack. An aircraft can be stalled at any speed
and weight. The AOA will give you plenty of warning when approaching a stall
whereas the stall warning horn that is supplied in the kit gives you a warning
too close to a stall.
Remember, you will be hauling up to 4 people in your 10 so why not protect yourself
and your passengers a little better? As you know, your stall speed changes
with gross weight and CG loading. The AOA guage takes this into account
and might just save your pink a$$ someday.
AOA is not for everyone. If you never used it, you probably won't see the need
to fork out $1500 for one. However, If you have used one, and understand
how it works....then it's hard to be without one.
My 10 will have the AOA Pro installed. I just installed the ports in the leading
edge yesterday. Piece of cake. The tiny pin holes that you put in the wing
look a lot better than that piece of metal sticking out of the leading edge.

Probably a personal preference. Rob is supposed to have a profile for the RV-10
and will load it prior to shipping. You will still want to calibrate it
to your aircraft when you fly though.
Anyway my point is the only reason I can think of to have both is when you are
calibrating the AoA. Other than that the AoA should satisfy the regs as a stall
warning device. I decided to not put in the Van's tab and riveted the two
holes shut.

My reasoning for two systems was simple, the Vans stall warning is simple,
mostly mechanical and easily tested during preflight. Where the AOA is a
much better "energy reserve" indicator, but more complicated and thus I
would think it was more susceptible to failure. Thus the vans stall warning
is a low tech backup.

RE: RV10-List: Re: AOA Provisions for InstallationJust got another reason to be
glad I bought the IO540 from Vans. Service Bulletin 659 arrived to day referring
to the 50 pages of crankshafts that need to be replaced. New engines, overhauls,
etc from about 1997 to present. The key is that there are only about 20
engine serials for the D4A5 on the list and mine wasn't there.

Not sure what the advantage of getting the engine from Van's is with this. Care
to elaborate?

RE: RV10-List: Re: AOA Provisions for InstallationPrimarily the D4A5 variant; There
were 15 pages at 145 per page of IO540s but only 20 D4A5s. Also I would expect
that if the new IO540 had a bad crank it would still be in warranty and
could be shipped back to them for the mandatory Service Bulletin. Engines in the
field which have the data plate on them must still comply within the three
years; while truly experimentals (without a data plate) can do whatever they like.
It will be an unknown if/until something happens to the engine.
The second reason is that no engineering work/mods are needed to make the kit work.
On my Glastar they sold an engine that had not been installed in one of their
airplanes. I bought a new O360A4M and then had to do the fiberglass work
to reshape the cowl because the engine is 1/2" wide than the one they installed
at the factory. Or if you observe Glastar cowls at the flyins, you can tell
which have the particular engine installed. Either the cowl has been reshaped
or there is a wart on the left side of the upper cowl where the #2 cylinder rocker
cover rests and delivers its heat treatment
In short using the same engine variant as the prototype makes for an easier install;
installing a new engine eliminates a few more of the variables to consider
for first flight. Bells and whistles can be added later but with 260 HP lifting
a gross weight of 2700 its a question whether they will be needed or desired.
Just my $.02

That's what I was thinking, maybe a brace to the radio stack.
