    I also ran Gami's injectors in my Baron and they worked great. It took my fuel flow down from around 32 gph to 26 gph, I had IO550's, but I did lose some speed in doing this. I've ordered the Advanced Flight System 3400 from Stein and on Advanced Flight Systems web site there is an interesting article on flowing the nozzles. If you're interested, go to this web address http://www.mstewart.net/super8 and click on the bottom left where it says Flowing the nozzles. I think you'll find the write up interesting, if you're considering running lean of peak. I'm sure you all know that when running LOP you have to be very careful and really monitor what's going on with the temperatures. Wayne Edgerton #40336 Finishing up the canopy

    Subject: dual zone front heat
    Evan I'm the Chris that started this thread, and I'm now thinking along the lines of plumbing rear seat heat, but with a valve to direct the rear air to the defog when needed, as our 10 will be used as a two person freight hauler about 95% of the time, and up in places like Alaska. The extra hot air coming out on top would also supplement the front seaters when needed. I like the idea about a valve that would modulate the lower front seat heat between the left and right side, and would like to hear more on your ideas, and I would be interested in a kit for such. Thanks Chris Hukill

I think you can download it from their web site. YOu start leaning slowly and check the temps on all six cylinders as you lean. You end up with a good idea on how each injector is doing. Not everyone need Gami's, but most do, inorder to get the temp spread close enough. I have run Gami's in my 210 for a long time. When you run lean of peak, you can up the power setting to compensate for the HP loss at lean of peak. You won't lose as much speed, and the engine likes it!!!! I plan to check mine as soon as I get it good and broken in and will put in Gami's if needed. With fuel costs, you can pay for a set of Gami's in no time. Blue Skies Jim 40383 Through building!!!

    Subject: Re: Today's X/C To Black Hills
    I am going to list some findings from personal research, but this is all IMHO and so on, so please take it as that and correct me where I might be wrong according to your research. LOP can be dangerous at high power settings, where you have to be careful of temperatures so you don=92t mess up your cylinders. The beauty of GAMI=92s in this situation is that it helps match the fuel flows to all 6 (in this case) cylinders so the temperatures run as close to each other as possible. This way you are not running one cylinder too lean and possibly damaging it while at the same time running another too rich and wasting a bunch of fuel to cool the cylinder more than it needs to be. When you are at a lower power setting, say 60%, however, the LOP operation is not as dangerous. In fact, you can run as lean as the engine will allow without running rough. Yes, you lose power, but you save a lot on fuel. To fully take advantage of this feature, especially in the RV-10, the key is to fly high. You can keep the throttle all the way in, and use altitude to lower your power setting. For example, at 18,000 feet the IO-540 is probably running around 40% power, give or take. At this altitude and this =93power setting=94, you can lean it right out and you get fuel burns as low as 6.5gph, while still getting good airspeeds, around 155-160 knots, because of the thin air. You also have relatively cold air to keep the cylinders cool. Sure, you may be able to get that type of fuel burn at 1,800 feet, but you would be very slow, which would defeat the purpose of the RV-10. In that case you would be better off with a J3 (it can only fit 2 people, but it may be hard to find 4 people who want to go anywhere that slow anyway :-) ). Again, GAMI=92s might make a difference in this scenario, and it may be worth a try, if we can ever get around to doing it. If somebody has them on their 540, please try some high-flying and let us know what you can get. Has anybody else flown this high in a -10? If so, what kind of numbers have you had? Do not archive.

    --> RV10-List message posted by: Deems Davis <deemsdavis@cox.net> Wayne, thanks for the link, It's great information. There is an excellent white paper available for free (40 pg. pdf) on Electronics International web site Titled; /Leaning and diagnosing Engine Problems/. http://www.buy-ei.com/The_Pilots_Manual_by_EI.htm It's the best paper I've seen so far, explaining in detail what occurs within an engine on each of the 4 strokes, and what the causes are of bad things which can happen to an engine. It deals specifically w/ detonation (a risk in LOP operations). I highly recommend it for reading, even if you're not planning on LOP operation. I learned a bunch the 1st time through, and have a printed copy that I keep, in my 'continuing education' reference stack.

    A few months back someone posted a photo or link that show a fabricated sub panel that was located between the instrument panel and the tunnel cover. I believe it provided a place to relocate a couple of radios. I can't seem to located the post. Does anyone remember the date or poster? Thanks, Bobby 40116

    Nope, just the throttle quadrant in TT's. As long as we are on the subject of TT what kind of timeframes are you guys seeing for stuff out of them? I ordered my pitch servo and bracket about 6 weeks ago. I know it took them a couple months to get the new brackets out for the roll servo. Seems like their delivery times are really starting to stretch out there.

The QB comes with a wooden spacer for the spar that already has bolt holes in it. I just cut a couple of 2 x 4 legs with 2 inch casters and use a padded saw horse at the tail. Works great for scooting it around the shop area.

    --> RV10-List message posted by: Dan Masys <dmasys@cox.net> If you happen to be using the Aeroelectric approach of using fuse blocks instead of (or along with) breakers, one way of mounting the fuse holders so they are out of the way but accessible when needed is to put them on a hinged panel between the panel and subpanel. Just got mine cut and installed. These pics show the essential buss block (20 fuse positions), main block (10 position) and battery block (6 position), separated by the diode mounted to a heat sink from B&C specialties: Seen from above: http://132.239.155.44/rv10/2006-06-05_fuseblockmount.jpg and below, where a Dzus cowl fastener keeps the plate in place http://132.239.155.44/rv10/2006-06-05_fuseblockmount_b.jpg One half twist of the cowl fastener the the plate drops down vertically for access to the fuses. -Dan Masys #40448

    Subject: Baggage door fit
    Ron, from what I recall the gist was it seems normal to have some sort of gap at the top that is essentially taken up with your weather strip installation and the top left corner would have to sit reasonably proud to enable the installation of your hinge pin, but apart from that I would suggest a lot depends on how you think it should sit aesthetically. I suspect the more experienced builders will "massage" various items that they don't feel come up to scratch as far as appearance is concerned. Now you've made me feel bad because I thought mine was okay!! John 40315 (re-thinking the finish quality on the baggage door.Damn!!)

I got around to do the final installation this weekend and quite honestly it looked very second rate. I don't remember too much previous discussion on the list other than the lower back corner was 'pushed in' somewhat and this can be fixed with a shim. I also had the same problem as Tom experienced, where the door was flush at each end, but bowed out by more than 1/8" in the top middle. I thought that the frame rib was shaped to the curve of the fuse skin, so did not flute to straighten. I spent about an hour last night using finger pressure to almost eliminate the bow by massaging the door skin flush with the fuse. The baggage door seems to be one area in particular where some shared experiences would be useful. How many have actually come out 'spot on' without some remedial action?? cheers, Ron -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Tom Gesele Sent: Friday, 2 June 2006 8:32 AM Subject: RV10-List: Baggage door fit --> RV10-List message posted by: Tom Gesele <tgesele@optonline.net> I seem to recall that others had a problem with the fit of their baggage door so figured I'd pass this along. On the initial fit to the fuselage, discovered that the door was bowed and the fit was unacceptable. It appears that dimpling the frame resulted in a bow, causing the problem. The solution on mine was progressively fluting the frame along the outer edge which straightened everything to the point where the fit is now acceptable. I'd suggest starting with small flutes, cleco everything back to together, check the fit, and repeat as necessary. On mine, it required rather aggressive flutes to get the fit where I wanted but yours may be different. Hope this saves someone some head-scratching.

It was under the pretext of waiting for proseal to dry. I think the real deal is that I was putting off testing the tanks because I was nervous... Anyway, I put the balloon on there, filled it with air, and guess what? The balloon is still inflated in the morning!! Yay. Now the question - How long do I wait til I call it good and test the other one? cj #40410 testing tanks/fuse www.perfectlygoodairplane.net

    Saw in my new Kitplanes that Andair will be offering a new remote fuel selector. The selector looks like all the others but the actual valve can be put anywhere since its fly by wire (solenoid of some sort I presume). So fuel lines in the cabin may be avoided. Cool. -CHris #40072 fuselage slobuild

    --> RV10-List message posted by: Rick <ricksked@earthlink.net> If you want real excitment use a manogram, it's so sensitive it will rise and fall with the daily temperture flucuations. In Las Vegas I had a rise and fall of 4" between the high and low of the day in the summer. Rick S. 40185 do not archive

    Subject: Mounting fuse blocks
    --> RV10-List message posted by: Dan Masys <dmasys@cox.net> It's the standard heatsink/diode combination that comes from B&C. On my RV-7 I just mounted the diode to some 0.063 plate and it got so hot it melted in the insulation on the downstream wire! (Also showed increasing internal resistance with heat, so the voltage would drop on the e-Bus). Live and learn. -Dan Masys ---- "McGANN wrote: > Dan > > Precisely what I was about to do (including fuse block selection) - thanks for the pics. But man, that is one BIG heatsink :-) > > Ron >

    Subject: New Andair Fuel valve
    I saw that ad also but I don't understand how fuel can get from the wing to the engine without going through the cabin. The fuel pump and filter as well as the floscan transducer are all in the tunnel. I imagined that the lines from the new Andair valve would come in from the wings to a T-fitting and then go to the fuel pump. There would still be fuel going through the cabin just no selector valve.. Albert Gardner 40-422 Yuma, AZ Do not archive -----Original Message----- Subject: RV10-List: New Andair Fuel valve Saw in my new Kitplanes that Andair will be offering a new remote fuel selector. The selector looks like all the others but the actual valve can be put anywhere since its fly by wire (solenoid of some sort I presume). So fuel lines in the cabin may be avoided. Cool. -CHris #40072 fuselage slobuild
