| Subject: | OSH Update 7/23/06 |
--> RV10-List message posted by: "bcondrey" <bob.condrey@baesystems.com>
Activity is picking up here. Michael Saussen stopped by to chat, a few folks with
another RV-10 interior option dropped off some brochures and a 3rd RV-10 is
here. This one is John Quint's, built by John Nyes.
Also a correction to yesterday's post - the RV-10 identified as TruTrak's is actually
Alex De Dominicis'.
One of the interesting things that's happened is Garmin's ad on the back of the
program. It announces a new product - the G600 which is touted as a retrofit
type of EFIS so I assume it's available to the homebuilt crowd. Photo makes
it look like a miniature G1000 and the ad refers you to their website for more
info... Looks like there was a minor coordination issue, website as of yesterday
had to mention of it. Photo of the ad is attached and we'll get more info
tomorrow. File size might be a bit large but I didn't want to sacrifice the
readability of the text.

Bob,
I'll be coming in before noon most likely. Will see you guys
shortly. Pass it on to Gary and John if you see them.
I'll probably not check my email between now and Wed. so
if anyone tries to get a hold of me, try the cell.
Will catch up with everyone a little mid-week, and then
fully after OSH. See everyone there! Glad to see they're
showing up.
Tim

--> RV10-List message posted by: "Jae Chang" <jc-matronics_rv10@jline.com>
Tim... No, I had not see that map before. Doesn't surprise me, though,
considering making this map was fairly simple. We have google and its
$120B market cap to thank for it!
Looking forward to all of the OSH hilight reports!

Hey Jae, you've been busy!!
Out of curiousity, did you ever see this list?
http://www.frappr.com/rv10snorthamerica
I don't know who started that one, but Mani passed it on to
us a while back.
It's amazing how many people there are, for one thing, and how you can
hardly go anywhere without hitting a 10 builder. What a great crowd.

| Subject: | Starter Problem - update |
I took a hard look at the starter again and there appears to be no damage
anywhere, other than what you get when spinning parts touch each other
without engaging. No cracks, etc. I've attached a couple pictures in case
that helps someone decipher what's going on.
It is a Sky-tec starter on an Aerosport IO-540A4D5. I was wondering if
there's any chance the starter comes with different size gears and perhaps I
got the smaller version? The odd thing is it worked great for awhile. I
cranked it for almost 10 seconds before I realized fuel wasn't getting to
the engine yet and it spun great. Then it worked a few more times before
the engine came to life. After that it was nothing but trouble.
Thanks,
Marcus

I finally got to start my engine today for the first time which was quite
motivational. However, after letting it run for a couple minutes and
checking it over for leaks I tried to start it again. This time I was
greeted by a horrendous squeal and the prop not spinning as fast as before
while starting. I shut it all down and it appears the starter is no longer
engaging properly. It wore a little of the outside aft edge of the flywheel
and looks like either the starter gear is too small, or somehow it suddenly
was able to drift a little further from the flywheel and no longer mates up
properly. The starter mount nuts look secure and the factory paint cues are
still in place so I am stumped. With the starter gear retracted it looks
like the gears will just barely overlap when it extends.
I am open to any and all thoughts, theories and suggestions.
Thanks,
Marcus
(was hoping to get inspected today, delayed until next weekend - possibly
more pending the engine issue)

Marcus,
It's hard to tell but the gear pitch does not look the same.
I went to the Skytech Web site and found a PDF showing the correct starter for
a given engine.

I do know that in general there are different numbers of teeth,
depending on your flywheel . . .

Thanks for the effort, very helpful. Mine is a model 149-12LSX which
(except for the X which I assume is for experimental) it should be good to
go.

I am giving strong consideration to switching from the Hartzell 2 bladed
blended foil prop to the 3 bladed MT Prop. If there is any RV10 people
at OSH checking their e-mails and you happen to go past the MT booth
could you please see if they are having any show specials? Also if there
is anyone that might be interested in buying a new Hartzell Blended Foil
prop let me know. I live near Dallas.
Thanks for any help on this.

Wayne,
I may be interested in your prop. Do you have it now? How much do you want?
