A beautiful airplane. A 33A I could walk away from. An A-36 for the price of an RV-10, now that would be a conversation :-). But even then, the balance tips in favor of the homebuilt in my mind due to that FAA repairman's card you're going to have in your pocket after you get this puppy airborne. It'll always be a project, and you can put as much or as little time and money into it as you like, without worrying every year about a multi-kilobucks surprise at an annual inspection.

Cox" --> RV10-List message posted by: Dan Masys Sorry, the numbers in my message are for my 200hp RV-7A, and the 11 gph goes with the 75% power setting and 175kts, not with the 25K ceiling. Because I don't have a pressure mask on my O2 system, I have only flown it to 17.5K but it was still climbing at about 500 fpm at that altitude. Full throttle, best power mixture up there gives an indicated airspeed of about 125kts in my plane, roughly corresponding to 45-40% power, and 7-8 gph. Fuel flows and power levels would be correspondingly lower in the 20's. -Dan Masys ---- "John W. Cox" wrote: > --> RV10-List message posted by: "John W.

It is great. Usually ATC lets us know what is coming, but we can see it onscreen before we hear it from them. We can see the build-ups before they are thunderstorms with the echo tops feature. We can see the movement and growth of the storms with Nexrad and Strikes. We can tell what is happening at nearby airports with Metars and TAFs. We wouldn't be without it. We had one flight where the -10 was in the soup from 10 minutes after take-off until final, and the flight was over 4 hours. Without the weather onboard, that would have been a no-go or detour trip. Even in the soup, you know what is liveable soup and what it "bounce you around and fold your wings" soup because of the weather. We are using a flight cheetah by true flight (www.trueflight.org). If I understand correctly, the Chelton's can also show all of this information. Don't leave home without it. Do not archive.

Alfonsina's is just south of San Felipe on the Baja Peninsula, about a 2,500' dirt strip paralleling the beach, great relaxing spot. On our way home, we stopped in Calexico to clear customs and get our weather briefing. It showed some light scattered storms in the Bay Area, and we'd probably have to file on the way home depending on how it looked. About 75-80 miles out, we could see buildup over the hills, called up flight service and got a weather briefing, didn't look all too bad, but we couldn't make it in VFR so we filed IFR, received our pop-up, and were headed in at 8,000'. We were soon in IMC, no big deal, pretty easy sailing, when all of a sudden we hit a thunderstorm and encountered severe turblance and very near loss of control of the airplane. We would be up 100', down 200', 45 degrees to the right, then quickly snapped to 45 degrees to the left, our maximum bank angle was probably 60 degrees at one point. Our attitude and altitude were all over the place. This lasted for a full two minutes. ATC gave us clearance to descend to 4000' and maneuver to the north. My friend, CFI/CFII, did a ! great job and instinctively reduced power, gave full carb heat (it was only +2C outside and raining but no sign of icing), and did a great job getting us out of there. It was a really tough spot, one that I hope to never be in again. After we got out, ATC announced that the weather capabilities of his radar were down. In light of all this, I'm starting to give lots of thought to the capabilities of the various weather alternatives for the RV10 panel. In other words, if ATC can't tell us when we're headed for trouble, what is available to us so that we can see it ourself? Is XM weather dependant on air traffic control's weather radar? Would we still get weather in the cockpit if their's is out? Since there was no lightning that I could see or hear, would a strike finder have detected that? Short of an on-board radar, what are our options? Also, we were planning on going with the Chelton's and I can definately see how that would be nice to know, even if its synthetic vision, what the ground looks like. Can XM weather be displayed on the Chelton? Jon Reining 40514 (along with my dad) working on elevators, QB wings and fuse just showed up (and thinking of weather capabilities) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=36025#36025 -- -- ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 10:26:17 AM PST US From: "Jesse Saint" Subject: RE: RV10-List: Retractable --> RV10-List message posted by: "Jesse Saint" Realistic service ceiling is about 18,000. I have it on "good authority" that it will make it to 21,000 at near gross weight, but it sure doesn't like flying up there. At 18,000, 185mph TAS, 6.5gph LOP. No, I don't have info on MP or RPM, but the throttle is always all the way in when flying high. Do not archive.

No, Bonanza's are wonderful, as are the Cirrus and Columbia airplanes. But, for a few years dedicated labor, one can have a craft that more than meets my criteria, a large part of which is self maintenance. Wing loading on the Bonanza makes them a much more enjoyable ride in the bump and grind. Other than that, one can have as much speed, more room, and lower costs.

Other than that, one can have as much speed, more room, and lower costs. Don't forget the ability to put exactly what electronics you wish in your -10 to take advantage of the latest in technology which I am convinced will make us safer pilots with respect to weather, traffic, detailed GPS navigation, terrain etc. Don't take this the wrong way, I love my Bonanza but the thought of a certified panel upgrade to state of the art displays sends chills down my bankers spine. Also note a late model Bonanza is still 20 years old. Now back to the original reason for this post; I have personally taken a solemn pledge to never again purchase a retract (unless one winks at me extra sexy like). The cost of gear maintenance can come close to matching the entire balance of aircraft maintenance before considering the weight consequence or insurance. With today's modern fairings the drag penalty is relatively small even for guys like me with the extra weenie wheel. In my limited piloting experience (6 planes) I believe performance, safety, comfort and VALUE are all on the side of experimental builders (assuming one follows the plans).

That was one of my larger concerns as any added temperature to those lines will only add to the vapor lock possibilities. At any rate, the valve you have is nicer than mine....that one wasn't available in the past, those 90 degree built in fittings haven't been around that long.

Frankly, I don't expect to be running heat to the rear seats that often, but your point is well taken, I might just encase the fuel lines (all of them in the tunnel) in some firesleeve or some other split/insulating material to guard against the vapor lock concern.

Did you just refer to a 33A as a "Bonanza" ?. Last time I did that was about 20 years ago I was flamed in person on all sides by V-35 Bonanza Pilots. Just because it was made by Beechcraft doesn't make it a Bonanza or any less a spam can. A '59 Chevy 4Dr. Station wagon is not an "Impala" regardless of that the bean counters at Chevrolet thinks. A "Impala" was built in 1958 and came ONLY in two models ...2 door hardtop & a 2 door coverable My, my how times have changed. But words do mean things to some of us. Don't mean to leave Ford out, look what they produced and called a "Cobra", YUK. Do Not Archive KABONG.
