    Subject: Engine prices
    From: "RV Builder (Michael Sausen)" <rvbuilder@sausen.net>
    I did some fast comparison shopping between several of the big builders back when I heard about the price increase. Basically I looked at Mattituck, Barrett, and Aerosport. When you actually compared what each one did, they were all very, very close in price once you leveled the playing field. I ended up choosing Barrett for a couple of reasons. First he is only 300ish miles from me where Mattituck is considerably farther and Aerosport is in Canada. I have directly heard of a couple builders having problems with Aerosport's rebuilt engines, one was rather serious and that builder ended up with a new kit built engine from them in exchange and for the price difference. It seems they are not real good about maintaining a model number with its model specific parts as this appears to be the problem Tim also had. I wasn't about to have a potential problem with an international company but I also have never heard of a situation where they didn't right a wrong. Allen has a very good reputation and I also trust he will make good on any promise. With price out of the picture the single biggest thing for me was comfort factor and BPA won out in that arena. Incidentally, my engine will be on display at Barrett's booth at Airventure this year if anyone wants to get an up close look at his work. Michael Sausen RV-10 #352 Working on Fuselage -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Tim Olson Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 11:19 PM Subject: Re: RV10-List: Engine prices --> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com> Yeah, but that's probably a function of a couple things...variability in the engine mount dimensions, and perhaps the fact that my sump may have been of some older generation of slightly different dimensions. I know they said that the new Lycomings don't have issues with the mount, but so far I haven't really heard any evidence that there is a highly significant difference between the "good" ones and the "bad" ones. I think many of them are too close, but many people are just continuing on. There is also a little variation depending on what order you torque the mounts in, it seems. My guess is that I probably would not have had a big problem at least right away if I had left it. It's all a guess, because there just isn't enough time experience in the fleet to know yet. Just remember that when it comes to the sump and mount, there are not many "knowns". There is the brand new lycoming way to go, and then "everything else", because with any of the rebuilds you aren't guaranteed that you're getting a sump of any particular year/model/size. It's not an "Aerosport" engine...it's a previously run Lycoming engine, rebuilt by Aerosport. As far as you being on the upside down part of the world, I agree with you in that I'd either stick with a really good reputation'd rebuilder on the right-side-up part of the globe, or get one closer to home. The kit is something you build, but since most people don't build their engine, it would be nice to have it easily supported from somewhere closer. The companies' quality though is still a big factor. I've never heard anything bad about Aerosport or Barrett, and that means something too. I was sold on Aerosport the first time I heard one (before I knew that's what I was hearing). I don't know what the deal is on warranties carried out by 3rd parties.....I guess I didn't check that out. I figure that once it runs, there's only so much I'd hold a company accountable for anyway. It is nice to know they stand behind their stuff though. At any rate, when it comes to the engine mount, I still say it's a crapshoot and that no matter what the engine, there's going to be a few builders affected. Time will tell on that one, but I sure think they should have changed the way they built them when they saw the few instances of issues. From the gaps they told me they had with their test jig, it isn't like the good clearance ones were a huge amount better. But, some get really close. I also get curious as to how much of this stuff could be effects of the mounting ears and other things like sump gasket materials, and many more...I don't know that anyone knows the answers.

    I purchased a New engine from Aerosport, which uses, per my understanding, new certified parts from Lycoming. I was also told that if I buy a certified engine from Van's that once I mount it on an experimental plane it will no longer be considered certified. Don't know for a fact that is true but that's what I was told. Wayne Edgerton #40336 do not archive

    When I bought my new engine from Aerosport there was quite a difference in price from Van's at the time. Van's had just raised their price to something like $42,000. I added Lazar electronic ignition to mine, which was around a $2000 option, and if I remember correctly I paid a total of $39,500. I ordered it in Nov 05 and received it March 06. The reason for the length of time between order and delivery was that if I gave them a down payment of $3000 they would lock in the price for me and then I could tell them when I wanted it manufactured and delivered. It appears that Aero Sport has decided to keep pace with Van's prices. Wayne Edgerton #40336 do not archive

    Let's not get that started again! A certified engine is a certified engine. The engine doesn't know what kind of plane it's in, and doesn't care. You could have a certified factory engine that was installed on a swamp boat and it's still a certified engine, as long as no one has changed its parts. Engines and props are certified on their own in their own right, and then also certified as a combination for a particular aircraft model. But the base certification of an engine is only dependent on the engine itself.

    Van's is only authorized to sell as many engines as he has sold kits. The engines are certified. However, in order to pull them from an experimental and put it into a certified plane, one of two things would have to be done. 1) The engine would have to be stock configuration, absolutely no modifications, experimental processes or components (such as experimental ignition systems, Precision Silverhawk of AFP fuel system) and would have to be maintained as a certified engine (i.e. maintenance by a licensed A&P, all SBs and ADs in compliance) or 2) Overhauled before installation by a certified repair station to type certificate limits.

The primary difference in Van's engines and the Lycoming kit engines being built by the 5 authorized shops, one of which is Aerosport is that Van's is built by the factory and the others are assembled at the authorized assemble shops. Only the 5 designated shops can do this, not a private party or another shop. I paid $31,500 base price for the 540 plus a few moods. The price on the kit engines did go up substantially several weeks ago.

    From: "Rhonda Bewley" <Rhonda@bpaengines.com>
    Ron: Let me clarify, the ceramic coated exhaust is not required with the BPE IO-540-X, it is merely an option. The ceramic coating is designed to keep radiant heat out of the cowl (there has been significant discussion of this issue on the lists.) We like the Forsling exhaust, because we have tested it on our dyno and found that it runs nice and gives a small hp boost on the engine we ran (a new IO-540-X with 9.5:1 compression and Barrett's Cold Air Induction.) You can use any exhaust you choose. You would only need the modified cowl if you decided to run our Cold Air Induction, which is a performance upgrade. It is my understanding that the modified cowl is scheduled to be priced very similarly to Van's standard cowl. The IO-540 without Cold Air does not require any modifications. Hope this helps clarify.

    Subject: Engine prices
    From: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    After the first Conditional (annual) Inspection, done by a non A &P that could be true. After any needed repairs (beyond Part 43) done by the owner/ non A & P that might be true. Certificated Engines remain so when the maintenance actions they receive are compliant with Part 43, the TCDS and the data plate attached. Being in a non certificated (VANS) aircraft does not invalidate the certification. Fly off hours are a whole different thing. Remember, the supply of D4A5s is dwindling at a rapid rate. You only get ONE new one through VANS discount. "Use the Force wisely Luke". That is the course that Randy Debauw went and still has both the factory new engine and prop options available. Visit Dan Checkoway's site and you will see he has flown half his engine life away after just a short period of time. In a best case scenario, the engine casing can go through three lives (reassemblies) before being discarded. That being conditional on no prop strikes, significant overheat, loss of moving parts or massive loss of oil pressure.

    Subject: ADS-B Pull
    From: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com> It was always the quiet little driver that ADS-B would extend coverage over areas "Not covered by conventional radar". Alaska was selected for Capstone for just this reason. The FAA has long wanted to move away from installation of new, and maintenance of existing radar based services. (It takes a horrendous amount of their systems budget.) This is kind of like a carrier catapult launch. Many in the FAA engineering branch are hopeful that Alaska will fair well and the system will be slowly disconnected in many mid and low congestion areas. I think it is a question of whether the airlines can win the political power struggle. GA is clearly the dog's tail in this fight. It may prove to be just a stub of a tail at that. The FAA motto was to "stop looking at past technology and embrace the future". Don't remain complacent with radar based data for traffic separation - just weather.

No real comment other than to say that the I do not believe they disabled the whole ADS-B system, they simply disabled it from being displayed on the radar controller's screen. I believe the system is still up and running as far as the information the pilot gets in the airplane, it is just that at the Anchorage site only the controllers cannot see the blips on their screens. >From the article, "Other ADS-B services remain available, he said.

    --> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com> I very much agree with your general comments. The thing that's crazy is, it ran for so long, yet suddenly it's time to shut it off while they review it. Why can't they just conduct their reviews and leave it run? It seems if controllers are abusing their operational methods, those should be able to be handled without taking a system down. I know at any regular company we'd have internal discussions, and then follow it up with new procedures, and then some consequences if the procedures weren't followed. Working at a hospital I'm used to a constant review and refinement process. It's just too bad that the FAA apparently can't manage itself. I do hope they work it out before rolling it out in the lower 48.

    From: "RV Builder (Michael Sausen)" <rvbuilder@sausen.net>
    My interpretation of this is that it is strictly a temporary procedural issue. Go figure, the FAA bogging down in procedural issues. If you read closely the program isn't shut down, nor is the service, it is strictly the screens in ATC. Airborne equipment is still operating and they are going forward with full roll out in Alaska. I agree that this is reading as a bigger issue than it is as long as the airborne equipment is still operating. It appears that ATC simply isn't seeing the data nor could you expect advisories from ATC. While I am not defending the FAA, remember that AVWEB is a media outlet and will go for "shock & aw" for reader impact.

If you choose to work on your certified engine yourself, like replacing a jug, or doing the annual, and never have it signed off, it is NO longer a certified engine. The value will go down. That is only an issue if you want to sell it to someone for a certified use. So get the appropriate sign offs in a log book, or dont waste the extra $$$ on a certifeid engine, unless it gives you peace of mind. Kind of like buying TSO's instruments for an experimental, they just cost more (maybe better or maybe just the right paper work). Also, if you got your Airworthiness Certificate with a certified engine, and then work on it yourself, verify with your FSDO that you dont need to fly off more time, etc.... The danger comes with insurance.... if you change something vs what you told them or the category of the engine (from certified to experimental), they will then attempt to deny payment of any claim, based on false info, even if it doesnt relate to the claim. All that said, i want an engine that is zero timed, and i plan to do the majority of the work myself, that is the whole idea of having an experimental. I already own a certified plane that limits severely any changes i want to make and costs more to operate. Steve Stephen G.

    Subject: Re: Infinity Aerospace Grip
    --> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com> Sean, I started skeptically looking at the infinity. All the plastic grips looked like toys to me, but now all that's changed. In addition, I used to think I'd want a neutral grip, not left or right. I also used to think I didn't need that many buttons. Boy have I learned. I am liking the right-hand/left-hand arrangement, as it's comfortable and I find that I don't swap hands that much because you are more or less required (not REQUIRED, but...) to use your right hand if you're in the right seat and left if you're in the left, since the throttle is in the middle. Being right handed, I think that if you were doing lots of radio work from the right seat, you may have other preferences, but I don't fly from the right in my own plane, so I can't comment much on that. I do use every switch, and wish I had one or two more. I am using them as follows: Hat switch - Aileron and Elevator trim One top button - swap chelton screen modes Other top switch (DPDT) - Com flip com1 (UP) / Com flip com2 (DN) Thumb button - CWS/AP Disconnect Trigger - PTT Pinky button - EFIS MUTE In addition, I wish I had another button to swap my 2nd chelton screen mode. I'm not a fan of putting flaps or engine start on the stick. There are various reasons why, inadvertent activation being the biggest, but if you talk to a bunch of people you'll at least get thinking points. I also have a locking-lever toggle on the panel that is used to switch OFF the ground returns on some of the functions on the co-pilot switch. This allows me to disable the copilot's TRIM, so they can't mess with my trim (important if you have kids over there). I like the setup very much. I think other grips would be nice too, but I do like what I have. The wires route down the stick tube, and aren't visible at all in the cabin. My biggest wish is that I would have either added one more button to the stick for that 2nd screen swap, or perhaps instead of had it be a button, I would have used a 2nd DPDT toggle so the up and down could do it to either screen. Whatever multi-function stick you get, I think you'll like having some of these things on the stick. EFIS mute I use all the time.

    Subject: Re: Infinity Aerospace Grip
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Bob Newman" <rnewman@lutron.com> Tim, What is EFIS mute?? Also, I second many of your opinions regarding the usefulness of the buttons. On our Glastar we have elev trim, PTT and autopilot disable, and com swap. Its very manageable and intuitive. Also, I fully agree that the need to switch hands is pretty much zero. I've tried to fly with my right hand and that's about as awkward as trying to write cursive with the wrong hand! -Bob Newman fuse slow build, going slowly :) >>> Tim@MyRV10.com 5/11/2006 1:50:31 PM >>> --> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com> Sean, I started skeptically looking at the infinity. All the plastic grips looked like toys to me, but now all that's changed. In addition, I used to think I'd want a neutral grip, not left or right. I also used to think I didn't need that many buttons. Boy have I learned. I am liking the right-hand/left-hand arrangement, as it's comfortable and I find that I don't swap hands that much because you are more or less required (not REQUIRED, but...) to use your right hand if you're in the right seat and left if you're in the left, since the throttle is in the middle. Being right handed, I think that if you were doing lots of radio work from the right seat, you may have other preferences, but I don't fly from the right in my own plane, so I can't comment much on that. I do use every switch, and wish I had one or two more. I am using them as follows: Hat switch - Aileron and Elevator trim One top button - swap chelton screen modes Other top switch (DPDT) - Com flip com1 (UP) / Com flip com2 (DN) Thumb button - CWS/AP Disconnect Trigger - PTT Pinky button - EFIS MUTE In addition, I wish I had another button to swap my 2nd chelton screen mode. I'm not a fan of putting flaps or engine start on the stick. There are various reasons why, inadvertent activation being the biggest, but if you talk to a bunch of people you'll at least get thinking points. I also have a locking-lever toggle on the panel that is used to switch OFF the ground returns on some of the functions on the co-pilot switch. This allows me to disable the copilot's TRIM, so they can't mess with my trim (important if you have kids over there). I like the setup very much. I think other grips would be nice too, but I do like what I have. The wires route down the stick tube, and aren't visible at all in the cabin. My biggest wish is that I would have either added one more button to the stick for that 2nd screen swap, or perhaps instead of had it be a button, I would have used a 2nd DPDT toggle so the up and down could do it to either screen. Whatever multi-function stick you get, I think you'll like having some of these things on the stick. EFIS mute I use all the time.

I can be viewing an airports runway info on the chelton, scroll up to the CTAF freq. and hit "TO COM1", then with my other hand that's on the stick, just flip it and it'll be active without me moving over to the radio and doing more work there.

    We've got some wood grips. I think they are in the Spruce catalog, but I found them in a closet at work (long story). We haven't flown yet, so I can't tell you how they are. Our right-side just has PTT. Pilot has Pushbutton on top - AP Toggle on top - Flap Coolie hat on top - Trim PTT near the index finger and a pinky button we haven't decided on what it will be used for yet.

    Subject: ADS-B Pull
    From: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com> A close friend works for the FAA in placement of largesse funds. Last year she was roundly verbally abused by an aide from Sen. Gordon Smith's office (R - OR) for her public comments on the ADS-B plan (and stating the facts). Many smaller communities wanted radar investments in their Podunk communities. We did a public presentation on ADS-B last May to the Oregon Pilots Association and we publicly announced the move to disconnect the radar surveillance portion (Long Term). Randy Kenagy from AOPA was present. It is my personal opinion that the excerpt from AVWEB is being misquoted. ADS-B is alive and well in Alaska, as well as the Eastern Seaboard from FL though MD. It provides a level of protection over DC which is not being reported for homeland security reasons. Oregon is finally getting on board to serve its Podunk communities (those without multiple legacy carriers). Investments in radar should be considered old technology and the link to radar with ADS-B was a short term trail relationship. Trail is over. The ADS-B system will cost GA owners billions with a B for the equipment and the disconnect of radar repeaters will save the FAA billions. It's all about privatization. Moving the cost burden to the end users. Oh Yeh, the air carriers will still get radar services. I think you will find ADS-B will remain alive and well in AK but without the ATC controllers watching on their screens. Remember ADF and VOR A approaches up north? John Cox - don't shoot the messengers. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Tim Olson Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2006 10:11 AM Subject: Re: RV10-List: ADS-B Pull --> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com> I very much agree with your general comments. The thing that's crazy is, it ran for so long, yet suddenly it's time to shut it off while they review it. Why can't they just conduct their reviews and leave it run? It seems if controllers are abusing their operational methods, those should be able to be handled without taking a system down. I know at any regular company we'd have internal discussions, and then follow it up with new procedures, and then some consequences if the procedures weren't followed. Working at a hospital I'm used to a constant review and refinement process. It's just too bad that the FAA apparently can't manage itself. I do hope they work it out before rolling it out in the lower 48. Tim Olson - RV-10 N104CD - Flying do not archive

Instead of using radar data to keep aircraft at safe distances from one another, in the future, signals from Global Positioning Satellites will provide air traffic controllers and pilots with much more accurate information that will help keep aircraft safely separated in the sky and on runways. Eventually, with ADS-B, some of the responsibility for keeping safe distances between aircraft will shift from air traffic controllers on the ground to pilots who will have displays in the cockpits pinpointing all the air traffic around them, along with local weather displays."

    Subject: Re: Infinity Aerospace Grip
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Marcus Cooper" <coop85@bellsouth.net> I opted for the wood grips that Van's sells. One version has both a PTT and a coolie hat switch. I used a similar stick in my RV-6 and really liked it. Since I'm not starting with roll trim, I used the side position of the coolie hat for the autopilot control wheel steering. One consideration I'd like to offer. I know a number of folks have put the flap control on grip but I chose not to in order to prevent an inadvertent flap extension at cruise speed. I think it would really get your attention to get the flaps rolling at 170 knots and could be pretty easy to do. Just my .02 worth, and it's not a problem as long as you never hit the wrong button.

    Subject: Re: Infinity Aerospace Grip
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Jesse Saint" <jesse@itecusa.org> Another thing with the left-right-handed grips is that you are not gripping the whole thing the whole time you are flying. You rest your hand on your lap and just hang on with two or three fingers to the bottom of the grip. Flying this way it works with both hands. When you are gripping the whole grip is when you need to focus and need to have your inside hand on the throttle, for the most part. Also, the autopilot ends up doing a lot of the flying anyway. Do not archive.

Also, I second many of your opinions regarding the usefulness of the buttons. On our Glastar we have elev trim, PTT and autopilot disable, and com swap. Its very manageable and intuitive. Also, I fully agree that the need to switch hands is pretty much zero. I've tried to fly with my right hand and that's about as awkward as trying to write cursive with the wrong hand! -Bob Newman fuse slow build, going slowly :) >>> Tim@MyRV10.com 5/11/2006 1:50:31 PM >>> --> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com> Sean, I started skeptically looking at the infinity. All the plastic grips looked like toys to me, but now all that's changed. In addition, I used to think I'd want a neutral grip, not left or right. I also used to think I didn't need that many buttons. Boy have I learned. I am liking the right-hand/left-hand arrangement, as it's comfortable and I find that I don't swap hands that much because you are more or less required (not REQUIRED, but...) to use your right hand if you're in the right seat and left if you're in the left, since the throttle is in the middle. Being right handed, I think that if you were doing lots of radio work from the right seat, you may have other preferences, but I don't fly from the right in my own plane, so I can't comment much on that. I do use every switch, and wish I had one or two more. I am using them as follows: Hat switch - Aileron and Elevator trim One top button - swap chelton screen modes Other top switch (DPDT) - Com flip com1 (UP) / Com flip com2 (DN) Thumb button - CWS/AP Disconnect Trigger - PTT Pinky button - EFIS MUTE In addition, I wish I had another button to swap my 2nd chelton screen mode. I'm not a fan of putting flaps or engine start on the stick. There are various reasons why, inadvertent activation being the biggest, but if you talk to a bunch of people you'll at least get thinking points. I also have a locking-lever toggle on the panel that is used to switch OFF the ground returns on some of the functions on the co-pilot switch. This allows me to disable the copilot's TRIM, so they can't mess with my trim (important if you have kids over there). I like the setup very much. I think other grips would be nice too, but I do like what I have. The wires route down the stick tube, and aren't visible at all in the cabin. My biggest wish is that I would have either added one more button to the stick for that 2nd screen swap, or perhaps instead of had it be a button, I would have used a 2nd DPDT toggle so the up and down could do it to either screen. Whatever multi-function stick you get, I think you'll like having some of these things on the stick. EFIS mute I use all the time.

Don't have electric aileron trim so left/right on Coolie hat doesn't do anything currently. Top right = flaps. Here the folks at Infinity recommended that down be momentary, and up be a locking position. I have that, but often find when I shut the plane down that the up flap motor is still running. On the -10 I am going to put an Infinity in, but the flap switch will be momentary on in both directions. Trigger = PTT, like everybody Thumb button = transponder ident Pinkie button = A/P disconnect. It's a very comfortable grip -- in the -7A I have the resting position rotated 45 degrees, so my elbow sits on the elbow rest with my forearm angled about 45 degrees.

    Subject: Re: Infinity Aerospace Grip
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Jesse Saint" <jesse@itecusa.org> Remember, that if you have the flap positioning system, when it get to the top the motor shuts off and doesn't draw almost any current, just enough to verify that it is in the up position, unless I am mistaken. Yes, it often happens that the flap switch is left up, but that only is a problem if there are two switches, and one is left up while the other is trying to put the flaps down. That can be solved by the "disable copilot switches" switch if there are two stick grips. Otherwise, leaving the flap switch in the up-locked position, it is a reminder that the flaps are up, especially if, as in N256H, you don't have a flap position indicator. Do not archive.

    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Mark Chamberlain" <10flyer@verizon.net> Jesse, can you tell me how you installed electric rudder trim. I'm assuming it's electric if there is a switch on the stick for it. I have been messing with a tab on my rudder and have finally got a fairly neutral force for cruise, but the ball is out one way on climb out and out the other in higher speed descents. Not a big deal, at some point you have to fly these things like real airplanes, but I was considering building a new rudder and adding a built in tab with a servo in the tail to drive it. Just curious what you came up with. Mark.(N104ML)

    I heard through unnamed sources that it was an RV-10 involved in an off field landing near Paso Robles, CA. No injuries (except to a squirrel hole), some damage to wheel fairings and possibly a gear leg. Name of pilot not known as they are not affiliated with any list or group. Apparently, those involved in the investigation ( possibly Vans) are aware that we all want info about the cause as soon as it is available. At this point it sounds like it is engine related, not aircraft or system specific. I'm sure those involved will share any information with us should it be determined that the cause relates to the design or construction of the 10 or is operating specific to the 10. Mark.
