    Subject: Re: Survey of the day: windshield visors
    I've been in communications with the sales manager from Rosen and he says they are working on visors for the RV10. He told me they are struggling with how to attach them to the canopy. I've sent him off a couple of ideas but he says they have several other projects they are working on so the RV10 isn't getting top priority right now. I've had Rosen in my last two planes and I really liked them. Other than that I may have to fall back on the old stick on the window thingies. Wayne Edgerton # 40336 Engine work

    Subject: F-1073 hole too large
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "bob.kaufmann" <bob.kaufmann@cox.net> If it was me, I would take the static port to a machinist, and have him make a new one, to fit the new hole. It may cost you, but a good machinist like my neighbor can make it to fit any hole and still have the exact pressure, static source. Actually, it would not take that good a machinist, just someone with a lathe. Bob K Back from OSH and finally cooling down here in Nevada. At least here it's a dry heat.

Your scab patch on the inside my look sorta OK, but as I understand it the Cleavland ports need to be installed so the flat portion that extends out through the skin by a certain degree of thousands of an inch, I don't recall the exact measurment to insure the ports don't siphon air like a venturi, the small amount of protrusion makes the air "burble" around the port so you get a true static pressure. You would not get this by patching from behind then installing through the patch. So I would imagine you would have to mount that port in another hole then patch your skins, which if you scab on a patch behind the existing hole you could build up with epoxy filler and make a flush repair. Your call.....but deep down it's more of a cosmetic thing....and if you want to buy new skins. Rick S. 40185

    Subject: Survey of the day: windshield visors
    Maybe the gentleman who is machining the hardware parts for the 10's could build a visor system. I can't remember his name at the moment. The hard part would be the mount and rotating joint. Sliding aluminum track with a locking device should be easy. Visor material should be easy to come by. I had Rosen in my 172 and they sure make flying safer. I bet most people would buy them if they where available at a fair price.

Should be a simple clamp-on device with tabs on either side for mounting the visors to.

    Subject: Re: Survey of the day: windshield visors
    --> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com> Replying to both the below messages.... Deems, yes, that's one of the 2 options I was working with Rosen on. The tube is about .895 diameter, and they don't have any clamps of that size made yet. The bar is set a couple inches back from the windshield, so it would need to have a T shape behind the clamp, with the visors attached forward of the bar, and when they swing up they'd have to be of the right size to clear the door and side windows. That's the arrangement I have been working with them on, but everything halted with their busy contracts. The 2nd option I gave them was a screw in hinge that would mount to the canopy top just behind the windshield on that foam filled ridge. That would work too, but wouldn't be swing able. FWIW, I don't think it's necessary to have them swing to the side...if it were just available forward that would be good. Wayne, who's the guy you've been talking to? I've been talking to Mike Fiske, and he's in direct communication with the engineering team too. He also worked the booth at SNF and OSH, but that was after I had already tracked him down that I saw him there. I sure wish they had the time. They did say though that if we were to come up with everything, cutting the actual visors wouldn't be a big problem.

    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Vern W. Smith" <Vern@teclabsinc.com> Michael & Rene' Thanks for the advice on closing the wings. I'm going to jump in and close them up now. Should be a breezy compared to dealing with proseal and riveting on the fuel tanks! Thanks again, Vern (#40324 closing wings -----Original Message----- [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of RV Builder (Michael Sausen) Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 12:20 PM --> RV10-List message posted by: "RV Builder (Michael Sausen)" <rvbuilder@sausen.net> Tough one. Might be better to leave the skins open but you will hate going back to it later. Pretty mindless riveting in the wings. Michael --> RV10-List message posted by: "Rene Felker" <rene@felker.com> I waited on the bottom wing skins and don't think it helped much. I have conduit in the wings for wire. I found riveting the bottom skin a real pain........if I did it again, I would not put it off. Get the wings done and out of the way... Rene' Felker ----Original message----- On a lighter note my fuel tanks and control surfaces are done:) I'm trying to decide wither to finish the bottom wing skins or jump into the fuselage and leave the wings open until later for easy of wiring and autopilot installation. Any thoughts guys? Vern (#40324)

During the first two hours that you referenced, you could have also logged that as PIC. A high performance endorsement is required to act as PIC. Your examiner friend, with the endorsement, was the acting PIC. The endorsement is just that, an endorsement and not a rating. Even without it, you are still rated in the aircraft (ASEL). "(e) Logging pilot-in-command flight time. (1) A sport, recreational, private, or commercial pilot may log pilot-in-command time only for that flight time during which that person (i) Is the sole manipulator of the controls of an aircraft for which the pilot is rated or has privileges;" The regs state "rated OR has privileges". You do not have 'privileges' without the endorsement, but you are 'rated' (ASEL). The word 'or' indicates that only one of these conditions must be true for you to log the time.
