FWIW,
Neal is great to deal with, I picked up my valve from him.

| Subject: | transponder antenna |
I mounted my transponder antenna in the tailcone, just abeam the
elevator bellcrank. This allows for a very short coax feed, as I will
use a remote transponder, as the panel space in a 10 is very limited for
an IFR machine. This location is very accessible, and far enough away
from the comm antennas, which are mounted in the area just forward of
the rear seats, under the flap tubes covers, which are also accessible.
As I work in the tunnel, I would like to comment that there is lot of
stuff in there already, and trying to jam in anything else, like an
antenna would be masochistic. Don't forget that you'll be standing on
your head working in that tunnel at every annual to clean and inspect
that fuel filter.

That's where the COM's are going, left and right side under the pilots. I
am putting my Xpndr as far forward as I can get to in the center tunnel. I
wonder, with the Vetterman exhaust, if it isn't better going all the way
forward, since the pipes stick out a couple of inches, then with the airflow
it might be less hot right up between them than 6-18 inches back. Just a
thought.

Subject: RV10-List: rear seat heat
After much thought, and taking into consideration what comments I've
received from fellow listers, I have decided on my cabin heat solution. I
have talked to Don ( RV8 builder) at Aviacomp (503) 543-3986, whom
manufactures all the heat/ vent ducting parts for Vans, as well as Cirrus,
etc, etc., and he is going to modify the T duct (Van's p/n VA-175 Heat Duct
Tee) which is just aft of the firewall, to include a selector valve that
will allow me to direct the forward heat to go left, right or mix both. This
will be a direct replacement for the non selector T valve, and will mate to
the existing Vans VENT DL-102.4 flanges. This will allow me to control the
left/right heat volume in the forward footwell area. In addition, Don will
provide me with another selector valve, which I will install in the rear
heat supply line, that will allow me to mix (divert) the aft heat to a duct
for defog function This is a solution that allows me the most flexibility,
with minimum weight and complexity (two additional control cables). Don will
provide similar components for anyone else interested in a similar system,
just give him a call.

Hi,
Thank you all for your input on the fuel tank tabs. There were some very
good points to think about and some great ideas.
Thanks again,

Subject: RV10-List: Fuel tank tabs
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?
Thanks,
Vern Smith

Has anyone considered augmenter tubes for exhaust? My experience with
the T-34 concludes that augmenter tubes, properly configured, solve a
lot of temp problems at exhaust outlet, can provide better cooling of
the engine, and may also increase thrust.

Hi,
Would this be a good way to get heat up to a defroster? I know there has
been some discussion on using computer fans to blow air on the
windscreen. I have to admit I haven't really looked that far ahead in
the plans to know what provisions are incorporated.

Good job, any heads up for me regarding the HS, because I just started it now
When you countersink the spars to allow for the skin dimples, error on
the side of too deep (ever so slightly, vs too shallow), so the skin seats
completely into the depression and is not held apart when rivetting.
On the nose ribs, bend the very front corner inward to avoid excess
pressure on the skin when you finally seat the inspars and ribs into the skin.
On the wood jigs to hold the assembly, cover all the surfaces that will
contact metal with duct tape as a cusion, and if you error on cutting the wood,
make them too big. They are not needed for detail fitting, the match drilling
does that, just to hold the thing up while you work.
Label all the parts for "top" or "Bottom" and left and right. after you
match drill, then disaasemble, there are a lot of parts. Number all the ribs in
an order that makes sense to make reassembly a no brainer. It seems obvious,
but often you will have the HS upside down and top is now down...... it only
matters for a few holes that you will skip rivetting and dimpling on the top
side, and for the attach brackets. BUY the CNC attach barckets (and the weldment
nuts for the elevator trim) from Silverbullet..... his brother is on this
network, ad the e-mail address may be in the archives, very nice parts and priced
fairly.
Get started, there are a lot of rivets....... fun to have a BIG part done.

Tim O, it looks like you're in the latest Flying Magazine, I think on

Which issue is it by month? I think I must be getting one soon, as
I read the last one about 3 weeks ago I think. I love Flying
mag...great read! It's actually my favorite of the aviation mags,
because I love the various writers.

Anyone had any problems with the fit of the bearings to the bellcranks
in the fuse...eg bellcrank needs to be re bent for bearing to fit.
