Just to give everyone a better idea exactly where Tim is based,
Menomonie WI is about 60 miles east of Minneapolis/St Paul right off of
I94. Or about 175 miles WNW of OSH. Nice little airport that would
be perfect for a mass gathering of -10's to OSH.

I have finally made contact with the person who takes care of the
homebuilt camping area, to try to coordinate a common area for the
RV-10's to park during OSH. They are willing to give us a special
parking area, with extra taxi and parking space for our somewhat larger
aircraft, all in an area together. They requested some very accurate
numbers of who will actually show up, so they don't over-reserve spaces.
Apparently it's common for them to see only
1/4 to 1/3 their initial request, so they want us to be as exact
as possible. If the plane will be flying regularly during the
convention, it may be that they need to be camped separately to
facilitate the logistics of regular movement.
I need to give them an ETA and advise them if it will be a mass arrival,
or one at a time. All places should have 2 signs, the first saying
"HBC" to get you to the Home-Built Camping, and then the 2nd one saying
"RV-10 Group".
If you know you will be at OSH with a flying RV-10, and know which days
you may be there, please let me know and I'll keep a list and submit it
to the EAA person, as well as give the list to the people on the list so
you all know who will attend.
Thanks, and I hope to see many others there. I'll definitely be there
with N104CD. Very shortly I'll have to decide which days, and if I'll
fly home a couple times in between.
**** One other thing... My home field, KLUM, is one of the lower-priced
fuel stops in the state. For those arriving from the West, early in the
show, I'm 1 hour approx. from OSH, and we could try to coordinate
a small flight of -10's to go over together. If this interests
you, just let me know.

Hi,
Has anyone installed fuel tank tabs to allow for accurate partial
filling of the fuel tanks? I believe Piper uses these on the Cherokee.
If you have, how long are they, what material did you use and where did
you anchor them?
I guess I should also introduce myself. My name is Vern Smith and am
building a standard kit # 40324. My son and I are just finishing the
flaps and are going back to the fuel tanks that we skipped over. Power
will be an overhauled Lycoming IO-540 C4B5. Currently I rent a C-182.
Thanks,
Vern Smith

I don't think this is a bad idea, but I'm not sure how workable
it would be. I find that the very small filler neck opening
would make it harder to see very well, and the fact that the
-10's tanks are fairly long would mean that it wouldn't be too
long before tabs out on the outboard end would be pretty
low, but still have a fair amount of fuel left. I'm not saying
it's not worth doing, but, IMHO, if you have the combination
of fuel gauges and use an EIS with a totalizer, it should be
something that wouldn't be too relevant anymore.

I agree with Tim. Warriors need tabs in the tanks because you can't
regularly fill them all the way up without having gross weight issues if
you want to haul more than 2 people . . .

I put these on my Super 8 with 60 gallon tanks.
One thing I did was make the tab removable. In the place of one rivet
holding the tank flange in, I put a #8 screw and have the tab holding
the platenut. So I could replace the tab if I did not like the height.
Tab is about 3" down and gives me 20 gal/side.
Frankly I never use the darn thing. But the thought is good.

What about the good old dip stick? When flying Katana's, we used a measured
stick to verify the gauges. One could fill an empty RV-10 tank with known
quantities (parked on level ground, of course) and mark the stick (or the
acrylic rods that are available) accordingly. Or, as for the C-182Q I used
to fly, use the bottom of the filler tube as your tab mark. The Arrow I
used to fly had very nice tabs that came in handy on those hot summer days,
so it would be nice to have such. Boy, there are a lot of "used to fly's"
in the message. Got to get my bird built.

I had the same problem on the right side, not the left.... I'd shave
down the bolt. FWIW, on my RV-4 you had to shave down the entire side
of a couple of the landing gear bolts to get them to fit. No worries,
keep building!

Subject: RV10-List: Brake Mount Assembly - help requested!
Has anyone else run into problems with their Brake Mount Assembly? This
has been stumping me ( and others) for almost a week
I am referring to page 46-4, steps 5,6 and 7.
I fabricated the spacers to 21/32" width, as in the plans (see pic).
However, when the brake mount assembly is mounted onto the gear leg, the
head of the uppermost forward AN4 bolt (the one which is installed in a
different direction to the others) impinges onto the gear leg, and
prevents the U-1003 from lining up with the 3/8" hole in the gear leg
(see pics). The hole seems to be off by approx 1/8". Both sides have the
same problem
So I removed the offending bolt, and installed the wheel/tyre/brake disc
assembly. There is approx 1/4" clearance between the brake disc and the
U-1010-L/R bracket. This is barely enough, when the bracket is flexed
from side to side.
I see the following options:
1) shorten spacers by 1/8" - but then risk the U-1010 bracket
intermittently rubbing on the brake disc
2) Shave off some of the bolt head
3) Use a countersunk AN4 screw instead of a bolt.
4) dispense with wheel fairings altogether (and lose 5kts in cruise!)
I'd be grateful for the group's opinions and suggestions

This has happened with a few gear legs because the bend can vary a little to
cause the interference. The fix is to replace the bolt with a csk screw. We
will send you the parts and modified instructions.
The clearance from the brake disc/bracket is OK. The parts won't move much
when the wheelpants are installed.

Hindsight being what it is...
I don't think I've done enough masking on my first fuel tank, and now
have bits of pro seal along the non-mating edges. To what extent
have those of you past this point cleaned it up... and what are the
concerns about it breaking off and plugging up the fuel system?
Thank you,

Tim, I've never flown into Cody before but have gone to West Yellowstone
and Jackson Hole airports several times. Both are proximate to major
park entrances. Flying along side the Grand Tetons is an experience that
every aviator should relish once in their life time. Yellowstone park is
one of my favorite places on earth, my wife and I honeymooned there a
'few' years ago. There are several motel/hotels in either West
Yellowstone or Jackson, but you should call before leaving as they are
pretty busy in the summer. Not likely that you will find anytning inside
the Park available at this late date. There are rental cars at both of
the above airports. It may only be 5 +/- hours in the -10 but be aware
that ANY flight after about 10-11 am local can expect STRONG convective
activity. Additionally, the eastern portion of Wyoming from the Neb.
border westward is normally pretty windy so plan on headwinds going out,
but coming home you can point her downhill and go like @#$! (I remember
seeing 230 kts gs in the Baron)

The Plans call for a maximum of 1/8" clearance between the full empty
position and the bottom skin, and maximum of 1/8" clearance between the full
full position and the top skin. Since the plans call this a maximum
clearance, is there a reason why not to have the sender rest on the bottom
skin if the tank actually gets that low on fuel? I'm thinking that minimum
could be 0" and max of 1/8".
The only "reason" I could think of would be dissimilar metals touching (fuel
sender wire and bottom skin), but even this would be mitigated through the
coating of fuel on the two metals.
What have others done? I currently get full empty and full full Ohm readings
just as the sender contacts the bottom/top, so I'm not concerned with
accuracy.

Just got settled for the Night at our hotel in spearfish S.D.
Did about 550 plus miles today.
Tried my first shot at L.O.P.operation. How does 155-160kts cruise
at 10.7 gph sound? Found that the engine ran cooler and was
also smooth.
Have more good news for when I have a PC with A keyboard. this is my
tablet.
Should be either at Yellowstone tomorrow, or touring around the black
hills. -will be looking for crazy horse and Rushmore from
the air.
See ya.

Dude...that looks really good...your work as far as I can see is first rate.
This stuff gets stiffened up like hard rubber so no real danger of it
falling off. Call me if you want any pointers...happy to help if I can.
Cheers...

I don't know what it "standard", but we went over each seam and coated the
entire flange of the rib and onto the skin on every part. We used a lot
more than that.
That being said, on N256H early on we found a tiny little piece of
something, possibly pro seal, in one of the injectors which was causing that
cylinder to run cold and lose power, of course, because the fuel couldn't
get there. We really don't know what it was, but haven't had problems
since.

Jeff,
Your tanks look at least as good as my QB ones, and I've seen some stray
dripping inside my tanks.
