A TNIO540 (performance limited to the magic 260.0 bhp) would be the perfect
platform for those days flying around Cumulo-Granite Clouds and tight
canyons here in the Western US and Canada.
Vic and Noel are still in that elite group and soon to join is Ed Hayden.

Might also look at the IO-540-R1A5, which was installed on late PA24-260s
with dual RayJay turbos, I believe manually controlled.......but power is
limited to Van's magic 260hp.

--> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com>
Marcus,
I'd start looking at the hardware being a possible cause. You may
want to send the EIS to GRT and have them look at it. On mine,
the tach out from the Lightspeed goes directly into the Tach in
on the GRT. Then the only thing to screw up is the pulses per rev,
and even if you mess up you should get some reading. There are no
resistors or things needed to do this.
Be aware though that you won't be able to easily feed the tach
info from the mag AND the lightspeed into the EIS, since they
both have different settings I think.
One other thing to check before sending the unit back....are you
SURE that you're actually firing and running on the Lightspeed?
When I do a mag check with the Lightspeed off, it'll of course
read "0" since it's not getting any input from the LSI. Could
it be possible that your engine is only running on the mag?

I see you've already got pics via the list of the GM console.
Here are some old ones on the ventilation console. I have more
that I'll be posting hopefully soon. I'm still catching up.

I am using a ControlVision GPS (HP ipaq 4700) connected to my Trio EZ Pilot
Autopilot and it is not working properly. Is anyone else using this same
setup? I'm trying to resolve the problem and I'm wondering if it's working
for someone else.

Hi all,
Sorry I've been running behind since before OSH, but I had to take the
time to post this trip story and photos from this weekend's trip.
It was my first actual IMC/IFR time in the RV-10, and the first real
test of how everything would function in such conditions. It really
gave a good perspective on the utility of the RV-10.
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/flights/20060807/index.html
Also, in the past week I've passed the milestone and now accumulated
106.4 nearly trouble-free hours in the RV-10. I know it's just
a 3-digit number, but passing 100 really makes you feel like you
did an acceptable job when you haven't had any major issues.
I now have switched at 100 hours to using Exxon Elite 20-50 oil too,
and can't wait to see how it performs. I'm going to sign up for
oil analysis on the Shellcare program: $70/10 test kits.

I'm thinking maybe we should look at an RV-10 Fly-in once we get
75 or 100 of these things in the air...planned for next year. I just
read last night that the cirrus owners group had a trip to the
factory for a fly-in and they managed 175 Cirrus's. I'd think that

I should have done more searching around, and now see the same promises
have been made for the past several years.
Oh well, I guess I will revert back to the original plan and install the
Walter or PT-6! ;)
Time to set those dreams aside for now and get back to some serious
deburring... :(

I like the idea of a flyin. What about Cedar Point for a central
location? It is a world class amusement park, 16 roller coasters, and a
full waterpark, fun for the family, has camping and hotels, and more
importantly has an airport across the street with shuttle service. We
could negotiate group rates and get it started. We can start organizing
it now, and see what the interest is, by June or July next year there
should be a fair number flying, and Cedar point is central enough allot
of people could also drive in.
I would be up for helping plan it, and organizing the required ground
support.

Hi Everyone
I seem to still be having problems with the list and am uncertain as to what
the problem may be.
I created a new email address RV10@SHAW.CA to subscribe to three of the RV
lists. A day or so after subscribing, I received a number of posts (all
dated Sunday August 6th). The very last post received was from
Majordomo@matronics.com indicating that I have been subscribed. Since then I
have not received any of the new posts even though I can see new posts on
the web browser version of the lists.
I have made sure that I don't have any spam filtering in effect.
The list subscription inquiry indicates that I am subscribed.
Does anyone have any idea as to why I am not receiving any of the new posts?

That probably would have been pertinent information. It is in Sandusky,
Ohio, at the Western side of the state. KSKY is the identifier and if
you go to google and look at the satellite images you can see the huge
roller coasters, three of them over 200 feet in the air. Website is

Hi all,
Sorry I've been running behind since before OSH, but I had to take the
time to post this trip story and photos from this weekend's trip.
It was my first actual IMC/IFR time in the RV-10, and the first real
test of how everything would function in such conditions. It really
gave a good perspective on the utility of the RV-10.
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/flights/20060807/index.html
Also, in the past week I've passed the milestone and now accumulated
106.4 nearly trouble-free hours in the RV-10. I know it's just
a 3-digit number, but passing 100 really makes you feel like you
did an acceptable job when you haven't had any major issues.
I now have switched at 100 hours to using Exxon Elite 20-50 oil too,
and can't wait to see how it performs. I'm going to sign up for
oil analysis on the Shellcare program: $70/10 test kits.
Tested by http://www.analystsinc.com/
Other news: This week the production pinpoints are starting to
flow to the owners, and by late this week I'll have a production
version in for this weekend's flights. I have also sent my
Digiflight II VSGV back to TruTrak for reprogramming as I have
s/w version 2.11 which has some bugs, especially when being
used with my GNS480. That should be back this week as well,
and then I'll finish tuning the AP so it tracks altitude with
GPSV a little smoother. I can't wait to see how things work
with the refinements, as they're going very well as-is. I had
a couple of bad hot starts finally, but they were my fault.
I had been having perfect hot starts with the LSI, but recently
had 2 of them where I didn't give it enough throttle and/or mixutre
after it popped to keep it running. At that point, I screwed it all
up, not knowing if I needed to go back to idle cutoff, or richen
it and prime. In general, it looks like if I get it to fire and
then lose it, I should be going WOT, and idle cutoff, but be ready
to cut the throttle back immediately while also going richer on the
mixture once it fires. In short, it's better to get it right
the first time. ;)
RV-10 Fly-In
I'm thinking maybe we should look at an RV-10 Fly-in once we get
75 or 100 of these things in the air...planned for next year. I just
read last night that the cirrus owners group had a trip to the
factory for a fly-in and they managed 175 Cirrus's. I'd think that
once we pass 100 RV-10's, we should have some sufficient numbers
to make a US Centralized Fly-in a really fun thing. Maybe by
Ray down in Kansas or something...but would be nice to have it
by some great family attraction place. Just thinking ahead
to next spring...maybe the May/June timeframe to fill that
gap between SNF and OSH.
Having a blast!

some time, just because it seems like a prudent thing to do
given the heat of the engine compartment.
I found one at:
http://showplanes.com/index_800.htm
Does anyone know of any alternate suppliers?
I just added about 4" extensions to my exhaust last night.
Haven't flown with them yet. As many of you found at OSH,
the older exhaust systems are shorter than the new. I figured
I'd see if it made any noise difference, or if I can notice
any heat difference. I don't have enough heat that
it will be easy to tell, but if suddenly things are cooler
then it'll be a plus. If it's quieter, that would be nice
too, although it isn't super loud. Just more little
things to tweak the bird closer to perfection.

Cedar Point!!!! I am in! I grew up 20 miles away from there. Beautiful area. I
haven't been back in years, but the amusement park and water park offer plenty
of entertainment for family of all ages. While I never went to the airport, there
are many restaurants and hotels that span the ranges of qualities and prices.
Plenty of areas for camping and other activities. There are also great day
trips just down the road about 20 minutes out of Port Clinton that go to the
Islands in Lake Erie. Plenty to do and a great area. I am a little biased though.

Not that I'd say No to this myself, because the place looks nice, but
for a larger fly-in I was thinking something more centralized than
Ohio....so that we'd get more of the gang from California, Vegas,
Oregon, Utah, and such places. Ohio is just a little too shifted
East for what I was thinking...but for me personally it works great.
Anyone have any other ideas? Eventually we'll settle on something,
but the most important part in my mind is getting as big a turnout
as possible for a weekend event.....something that wouldn't require
a long weekend to do.

Tim,
On my engine (0-540-E4B5) which I harvested from a Cherokee 6-260
the fuel pump came with a simple cooling shroud fed by a 1" scat tube.
The shroud is super simple and may be easier to fabricate than source.
If I can remember, I'll send you a picture.

Cedar Point is central to what? Looks like its a long ways from Texas.
But it does sound like a fun place.

Beautiful area. I haven't been back in years, but the amusement park and
water park offer plenty of entertainment for family of all ages. While I
never went to the airport, there are many restaurants and hotels that
span the ranges of qualities and prices. Plenty of areas for camping and
other activities. There are also great day trips just down the road
about 20 minutes out of Port Clinton that go to the Islands in

Actually the Kansas City area is pretty central and Worlds of Fun is
located there. There are several area airports to choose from.

Not that I'd say No to this myself, because the place looks nice, but
for a larger fly-in I was thinking something more centralized than
Ohio....so that we'd get more of the gang from California, Vegas,
Oregon, Utah, and such places. Ohio is just a little too shifted
East for what I was thinking...but for me personally it works great.
Anyone have any other ideas? Eventually we'll settle on something,
but the most important part in my mind is getting as big a turnout
as possible for a weekend event.....something that wouldn't require
a long weekend to do.

Marcus , To get my light speed to read rpm on my GRT EIS I needed to put
a resistor to the voltage supply in the DIN plug of the lightspeed to

Marcus,
I'd start looking at the hardware being a possible cause. You may want
to send the EIS to GRT and have them look at it. On mine, the tach out
from the Lightspeed goes directly into the Tach in on the GRT. Then the
only thing to screw up is the pulses per rev, and even if you mess up
you should get some reading. There are no resistors or things needed to
do this.
Be aware though that you won't be able to easily feed the tach info from
the mag AND the lightspeed into the EIS, since they both have different
settings I think.
One other thing to check before sending the unit back....are you SURE
that you're actually firing and running on the Lightspeed? When I do a
mag check with the Lightspeed off, it'll of course
read "0" since it's not getting any input from the LSI. Could
it be possible that your engine is only running on the mag?

The EL strip works really good, but I'm going to add a couple of those
LED lights that Stein sells that aim at my lower left and lower right
panel area, because the EL light doesn't illuminate the switch and
breaker area of my panel quite enough, and if it could, it would
be obnoxiously bright I think. So filling in from a couple of
locations would be nice.

Wherever Cedar Point is, it is incumbent that the individual(s) doing
the work must have it convenient. Tim, have you heard of such a place.
I would be willing to coordinated Aurora, OR home of VANS but believe it
would drop many from the East Coast. I have heard Wright Patterson
Museum is a great location other than Eau Clare.

I like the idea of a flyin. What about Cedar Point for a central
location? It is a world class amusement park, 16 roller coasters, and a
full waterpark, fun for the family, has camping and hotels, and more
importantly has an airport across the street with shuttle service. We
could negotiate group rates and get it started. We can start organizing
it now, and see what the interest is, by June or July next year there
should be a fair number flying, and Cedar point is central enough allot
of people could also drive in.
I would be up for helping plan it, and organizing the required ground
support.

Hi all,
Sorry I've been running behind since before OSH, but I had to take the
time to post this trip story and photos from this weekend's trip.
It was my first actual IMC/IFR time in the RV-10, and the first real
test of how everything would function in such conditions. It really
gave a good perspective on the utility of the RV-10.
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/flights/20060807/index.html
Also, in the past week I've passed the milestone and now accumulated
106.4 nearly trouble-free hours in the RV-10. I know it's just
a 3-digit number, but passing 100 really makes you feel like you
did an acceptable job when you haven't had any major issues.
I now have switched at 100 hours to using Exxon Elite 20-50 oil too,
and can't wait to see how it performs. I'm going to sign up for
oil analysis on the Shellcare program: $70/10 test kits.
Tested by http://www.analystsinc.com/
Other news: This week the production pinpoints are starting to
flow to the owners, and by late this week I'll have a production
version in for this weekend's flights. I have also sent my
Digiflight II VSGV back to TruTrak for reprogramming as I have
s/w version 2.11 which has some bugs, especially when being
used with my GNS480. That should be back this week as well,
and then I'll finish tuning the AP so it tracks altitude with
GPSV a little smoother. I can't wait to see how things work
with the refinements, as they're going very well as-is. I had
a couple of bad hot starts finally, but they were my fault.
I had been having perfect hot starts with the LSI, but recently
had 2 of them where I didn't give it enough throttle and/or mixutre
after it popped to keep it running. At that point, I screwed it all
up, not knowing if I needed to go back to idle cutoff, or richen
it and prime. In general, it looks like if I get it to fire and
then lose it, I should be going WOT, and idle cutoff, but be ready
to cut the throttle back immediately while also going richer on the
mixture once it fires. In short, it's better to get it right
the first time. ;)
RV-10 Fly-In
I'm thinking maybe we should look at an RV-10 Fly-in once we get
75 or 100 of these things in the air...planned for next year. I just
read last night that the cirrus owners group had a trip to the
factory for a fly-in and they managed 175 Cirrus's. I'd think that
once we pass 100 RV-10's, we should have some sufficient numbers
to make a US Centralized Fly-in a really fun thing. Maybe by
Ray down in Kansas or something...but would be nice to have it
by some great family attraction place. Just thinking ahead
to next spring...maybe the May/June timeframe to fill that
gap between SNF and OSH.
Having a blast!

I'm always perplexed when people talk about wasting bandwidth on
this-or-that-subject, or say "you should check the archives, don't waste
our time" as if we're some sort of elite web board.
If this isn't a board for talking about everything RV-10 related, then
what is? I don't want to search the archive for something, I want to
hear how people think about things NOW, not a year or two ago.
I for one, will always want to hear anything that starts to smell like
Innodyn (or another company) is finally making progress on a new engine.
Hey, if a new primer comes out, or a twist on an old one, we sure
aren't going to learn about it in the archives, and I'll happily start
the primer war all over again just to learn more.
If you don't like the subject, or don't care to respond, you can always
practice free will and do what I do when I see the three-hundredth
message on "overhead console" or the 30th "congratulations" message for
a first flight . . . . I delete it.
Besides, this is spare time. If it weren't, we'd be out banging rivets.

In case anyone missed this posting from the VAF site, here is the link
above announcing a first flight for an RV-8T.
http://www.innodyn.com/aviation/products.html
They even list a 255HP turbine for $34,500. That is less than any
prices
i've seen for even the 540's. They claim to be working on or already
have
available FWF kits for the -10 model as well.
Wow, i would love to see an RV-10T some day! Maybe I should think
about
installing the aux tanks! I wish. ;)

Cedar Point and SKY are great locations. It is on the western side of OH.
SKY has plenty of grass to tie down a few dozen planes.
Someone said "close enough to make it just a weekend." I don't think anyone
from east of west coast could make it to anywhere central, and have any time
at all to hang out, in just two days.
That said, Cedar Point is a good three hour flight from New York. Closer
for East Coasters but still a good site. We might consider two flyins -
RV10 East and RV10 West - unless we're willing to fly all day to get there
for one day.

Not that I'd say No to this myself, because the place looks nice, but
for a larger fly-in I was thinking something more centralized than
Ohio....so that we'd get more of the gang from California, Vegas,
Oregon, Utah, and such places. Ohio is just a little too shifted
East for what I was thinking...but for me personally it works great.
Anyone have any other ideas? Eventually we'll settle on something,
but the most important part in my mind is getting as big a turnout
as possible for a weekend event.....something that wouldn't require
a long weekend to do.

Any chance you could add do not archive to these for those of us that
actually do try and search the archives for reference. Always nice when
someone searches for IFR flight to not find a bunch of unrelated
garbage. Not being elitist, just trying to be neighborly.

Rob, I've already done that...and it's Brisbane Australia. Beautiful
beaches, great food, good people, heaps of attractions for the kids and an
international airport for you guys to land at ;-)

Is there someone out there with enough time and know-how on their hands to
plot all of us on a map and find the mean location between all of us? Maybe
the Frappr could help with that.

Actually the Kansas City area is pretty central and Worlds of Fun is
located there. There are several area airports to choose from.

Not that I'd say No to this myself, because the place looks nice, but
for a larger fly-in I was thinking something more centralized than
Ohio....so that we'd get more of the gang from California, Vegas,
Oregon, Utah, and such places. Ohio is just a little too shifted
East for what I was thinking...but for me personally it works great.
Anyone have any other ideas? Eventually we'll settle on something,
but the most important part in my mind is getting as big a turnout
as possible for a weekend event.....something that wouldn't require
a long weekend to do.

The geographical center of the lower 48 states is Lebanon, KS, and the
weighted population center of the U.S. is near Edgar Springs, MO. Kansas City
is
about half way between these two towns, so I'll second that. (how's that for
logic?)

I'd vote for Wichita. Quite central and lots of airplane factories.
