Anyone seen the info on Direct to Avionics website about the "new" Chelton
SV-10? It appears to be a dual screen setup, with a wiring harness that
claims to be complete - ie strobes, autopilot servoes, trim, pitot heat etc.
This sounds like a better harness than Van's basic offering.

I'm not at all sure of this, but, I think the wiring harness, if it
truly includes pitot heat and all, is just based on Van's standard
wiring harness. I'd actually be a tiny bit discouraged if it included
all the other wiring in that there's WAY too much stuff that builders
will want to customize, and it's not nearly as clean to chop up
a harness in many cases as it is to just make one. For all the AHRS
and interconnect and Chelton related things though, the harness
would be a fantastic add-on.

That's a misprint. The real number is 541-504-8300.
I know they have an outside company print their flyers, so obviously it
required further proofreading. Hope that helps you get to them easier.

It is easier that you can imagine. We work on our catalog for months and
have dozens of people look it over and it is full of little errors every
year.
We printed 5000 invoices once with the wrong phone number on them.
We get phone calls everyday from a Harvard Business School ad that they ran
10 years ago with a misprinted phone number (since copied all over the
internet in .JPG)
It happens, I just hope they are expert avionics guys and not proofreaders.

Indran and other Ozzie 10 builders.
This product looks truly awesome (esp with the harness), but are we going to see
the full value? Does anyone have any insight into the quality of the terrain
database we would get? Can we get weather? By the time you complement this
with dual coms, navs, xpdr, a/p, audio etc, and at close to 70c to the USD, the
panel becomes a mighty expensive proposition. I would like to consider this
as an option b4 I commit to the GRT, which imho is a better bang for the buck
option, so all comments appreciated.
cheers,
Ron

I checked with Josh at D2AV today on a couple things:
* They updated the .pdf with the proper phone number
* They are very busy and will get out more info on the harness details
after Sun-N-Fun, as they're rushing to get things ready for the show
right now.
* The approximate cost of the harness purchased separately is $2,210.00
Beyond that, to answer Ron's questions, the Terrain database is the same
as all the other units...there is only one terrain database. The
weather is an add-on module that can be added on at any time. WSI is
merging with Sirius, so later there will be a new WSI receiver. On my
site this a.m. I posted some WSI news that since I had a non-activated
AV100 receiver, if I activate a plan or buy hardware in 2006, I will
get a free AV300 receiver in late 2006 when the merge is done, which
will let me work with Sirius/WSI for weather. Until then I'll have my
plain old WSI as usual. I believe that it's very likely you'll hear
that you can add XM weather to the Chelton this year as well, so yes,
you can get weather. The important thing to remember is that the panel
mounted screens themselves are identical to the units they've been
selling recently that are non-RV-10, except that they have a different
startup graphic.
You are correct that when you add all of it up it becomes quite
an expensive panel. If you fill your panel with all sorts of stuff,
it's going to cost a lot....especially if you put lots of Garmin stuff
in there. 480's/530's and GDL-69's, MX-20/GMX200's, and all of the
toys, the panel is going to be a considerable hunk of your plane's
cost. In my case, I'm figuring my panel is about 38-40% of the overall
cost of the plane.
The GRT is also a very good bang for the buck, and is a good system,
it's just different.
It's like shopping for a Geo (Dynon) Chevy (GRT) BMW (Chelton) or
Ferrari (Avidyne/Garmin G1000) They all get you there, but you get
increasing resolutions/reliability/features depending on how far you
push the purchases. Strive for the best you can within your budget,
and you can make a very good panel with just about any of the systems.

Any idea what the cost is?
I know I'll be broke after buying an engine, so I may have to wait a few
years for a real panel, but may as well get the sticker shock out of the
way now!

Ron,
Apparently terrain is based on international Jeppesen database - so will
include Aussie terrain & published obstructions.
Weather not likely to ever appear on Satellite radio. However, I plan to
mount a small car PC & touchscreen into the dash, with a CDMA "mobile
broadband" adapter. The reception is surprisingly good in the air - I get
coverage most of the way from Bunbury to Geraldton at 2-5000 ft. Would be
good to have access to the NAIPS system both in the air and on the ramp
prior to takeoff - imagine submitting a flight plan via internet while
flying! Also the Bureau of Meteorology website has links to weather radar
around the country, updated every 10mins.
No doubt that the GRT better value for money, but I am leaning more toward
Chelton for the terrain, traffic (with Mode S transponder) and safety in
numbers - more units out there (both certified & experimental). Also WAAS
upgradeable whenever we get it down under.
The word on the SV-10 with wiring harness is that it will cost approx $1000
more than standard. They will start shipping units in May, with 40 projected
to go out the door by November.

Hi Tim - great response as always.
I was under the impression that 'the rest of the world' including us deep southerners
received lower resolution terrain compared to North America. Also, my
understanding of the Weather capability is that the data are sourced from satellite.
I'm pretty sure we don't have access to that data down here. Garmin 396's
aren't that popular here for that reason. Would be delighted if I am wrong,
'cause I really like the Chelton system.
cheers,
Ron

Ron and Indran, also keep in mind the introduction of ADS-B (draft
AC-21-45(0) released yesterday).
There may well be another box to buy. It might influence your transponder
choice.
Also check out AIRNAV www.sentientsoftware.com.au
<http://www.sentientsoftware.com.au/> for their panel based PC running XP
with touch screen. VFR info but you can display moving map over genuine
charts.
Just a thought, combine 300XL with SL30 and you get two comms, a nav and a
gps all readable from the GRT's, a saving of $2K + over the 430 with an
extra comm for similar capability.

Hi Tim - great response as always.
I was under the impression that 'the rest of the world' including us deep
southerners received lower resolution terrain compared to North America.
Also, my understanding of the Weather capability is that the data are
sourced from satellite. I'm pretty sure we don't have access to that data
down here. Garmin 396's aren't that popular here for that reason. Would be
delighted if I am wrong, 'cause I really like the Chelton system.
cheers,
Ron

I checked with Josh at D2AV today on a couple things:
* They updated the .pdf with the proper phone number
* They are very busy and will get out more info on the harness details
after Sun-N-Fun, as they're rushing to get things ready for the show
right now.
* The approximate cost of the harness purchased separately is $2,210.00
Beyond that, to answer Ron's questions, the Terrain database is the same
as all the other units...there is only one terrain database. The
weather is an add-on module that can be added on at any time. WSI is
merging with Sirius, so later there will be a new WSI receiver. On my
site this a.m. I posted some WSI news that since I had a non-activated
AV100 receiver, if I activate a plan or buy hardware in 2006, I will
get a free AV300 receiver in late 2006 when the merge is done, which
will let me work with Sirius/WSI for weather. Until then I'll have my
plain old WSI as usual. I believe that it's very likely you'll hear
that you can add XM weather to the Chelton this year as well, so yes,
you can get weather. The important thing to remember is that the panel
mounted screens themselves are identical to the units they've been
selling recently that are non-RV-10, except that they have a different
startup graphic.
You are correct that when you add all of it up it becomes quite
an expensive panel. If you fill your panel with all sorts of stuff,
it's going to cost a lot....especially if you put lots of Garmin stuff
in there. 480's/530's and GDL-69's, MX-20/GMX200's, and all of the
toys, the panel is going to be a considerable hunk of your plane's
cost. In my case, I'm figuring my panel is about 38-40% of the overall
cost of the plane.
The GRT is also a very good bang for the buck, and is a good system,
it's just different.
It's like shopping for a Geo (Dynon) Chevy (GRT) BMW (Chelton) or
Ferrari (Avidyne/Garmin G1000) They all get you there, but you get
increasing resolutions/reliability/features depending on how far you
push the purchases. Strive for the best you can within your budget,
and you can make a very good panel with just about any of the systems.

--> RV10-List message posted by: "Marcus Cooper" <coop85@bellsouth.net>
I suspect this will fall under the incredibly stupid question category, but
here goes. I'm installing the cowling and all is going well but I am
completely stumped about access to the top hinge pins. I installed the
center bracket per the plans and have no idea how to remove the pins with it
in place. Since the plans call for galling the screws, removing the plate
certainly isn't the solution. Maybe I gave up thinking about it to early,
but any advice would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
Marcus

Hi John,
Any idea where to find this document online?
I tried Google and the FAA site, but no joy.

| Subject: | Builder Names - Off topic |
--> RV10-List message posted by: "John Jessen" <jjessen@rcn.com>
Folks:
Still tinkering with the web site. Wanted to put as many builder names and
contact information (at least the state location) as possible. I know we
have the Frapper, or whatever it's called, and I was thinking about using
that as the basis. However, when discussing this with the venerable Mr.
Cox, he pointed out that many might not want their names and so forth on a
public site. Hadn't thought of that, but agree.
So, here's my thought. I'd like to at least put names and location (state
only). I will get these off the Frapper, since if you've put your name
there it appears you've gone public anyway. I will not put anyone's web
site link or email address, unless they explicitly tell me to do so. I'd
like to have a link to a picture of your plane or of you, but again, I won't
do that unless you allow me to.
So, please respond off line if you'd
1. NOT WANT to be on the builder's list on my builder's web site page, or
2. WANT to have your name listed, and what type of link is acceptable (eg,
web site, email, picture, etc.), if any (also let me know your build number
and if you're flying)
If I don't hear from you and you are on the Frapper, chances are you'll be
placed on my list.

The bracket fits flush with the cowling skin. When you loosen the
screws, you push the bracket down, leaving a gap all around it so
that you can pull the pins. The galling is just so that you don't
lose the bracket by screwing the screws out to far I think. I
didn't gall mine.

Sorry Dj,
I meant to clarify,
"6. APPLICABILITY
6.1 This AC is applicable to all Australian registered aircraft and foreign
aircraft wishing
to transmit ADS-B information in Australia."
The Australian CASA will be consulting with the FAA in any case and it may
provide interesting reading for you, so if you still want a copy I'll
forward it to your personal email.

Ah! Well, that makes sense why I could not find it... *grin*
Actually, I'd love a copy if you don't mind. I'm very interested
in ADS-B.
