Hi Sean:
It's on page 21 of the final inspection and flight test section of the
builder's manual. As Tim posted +3.8 and -1.9 at a gross weight of 2700
lbs.
There are a couple of paragraphs on G loading and testing. This section has
lots of other good "stuff"; it may not come until you order the finish kit
if you are not that far along.
There is no discussion about "rolling Gs" so you have to assume these limits
are for none rolling conditions only. Pulling near limiting G loads at the
same time as a roll input can easily overstress the down aileron wing.
Any of the aerobatic RVs will fly rings around an AT6, sure miss the RV4.
Bananas are good for breakfast too..they taste the same coming up as going
down.
All the best.

Subject: | My Tunnel Heat Fix |
Jim,
Great fix and I'm glad it worked so well, may end up doing that myself.
The really impressive thing is the nerve to make the changes since they
would be tough to undo. That's the great thing about homebuilts, think of a
fix and act on it. Not everyone would have the conviction to do it though -
great job!
Marcus

Subject: RV10-List: My Tunnel Heat Fix
Second try to post this message:
On my first 3 flights the tunnel got very warm. You could still hold your
hand on it (just barely) but it was hot in there. Additionally, the belly of
the aircraft just aft of the cowling was HOT after the flight. Now that I've
made some easy changes the tunnel is cool to lukewarm and there is no
appreciable heat on the belly after flight. I've been flying in 80 to 90+
degree weather with the heater scat tubing connected.
I heard about the tunnel heat problem a little late and I built only a few
preemptive things into the plane. I put ceramic gaskets behind the heater
valves to keep heat from transfering to the firewall/tunnel. I installed a
blast tube on the firewall forward of the tunnel. And I installed a computer
fan in the tunnel cover just over the fuel pump (this actually made a big
difference in tunnel heat once I turned it on.)
These things didn't fix the problem, but here's what did. I was having CHT
and oil temp overheating problems and one of the things I did to fix this
problem was increase the cowl air exit area to improve air flow. As you can
see from the photo I enlarged one of the louvers and added an additional one
- this didn't make much difference alone. Then I trimmed the aft edge of the
"reverse scoop" forward about an inch (see photo). This increases the exit
area, but I think it also allows the hot air to move down and away from the
fuse and disipate faster.
I'm sure that I added extra drag to my plane, but the engine and tunnel are
now cool.

Dick is a fine gentleman and I too did some aerobatics with him and
Spanish Lady back in 1990 when I was producing airshows for the Blues.
He was based at Centennial (Colorado) and the memory of our low pass
over Chatsworth Reservoir at 50' AGL was unforgettable.
This is a well maintained T-6 if there are other Warbird fans within the
RV-10 community.

Hey Tim,
Thanks for the direction.
You are absolutely correct. Enjoying flight and all that goes with it
is a
major reason for the build. The people that surround it, the
unbelievable
scenery, the excitement of your youngest as she gets to take a ride in a
very cool 1929 Curtis Wright TravelAir Biplane.....and so much more.
All of us building are very blessed for the opportunity to do so. Can
you
think of many things better than pouring hours of your time into a
project
that allows for so much fun with your family and the satisfaction of
such an
accomplishment? You and the others that have completed the
project....now
fly! The rest of us can't wait to get there, but along the way there
are
small victories that are adding up to the big payoff.
For now....I'm a builder that is a student pilot. I have much to learn.
Soon I will be the certificated pilot of an airplane that I was
fortunate to
build.
I've attached a picture of the AT-6. The pilot/owner is Dick Jones.
The
plane is "The Spanish Lady" and it is beautiful on the ground and in the
air. Unfortunately, he must sell it due to high fuel costs. Anyone
want to
upgrade?
Thanks for your help, again.

Hi Sean,
Here's a link from Van's site regarding the engineering of the RV-10.
http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/rv-10int2.htm
I think it was designed for use within the standard category normal
limits of +3.8 and -1.52 G's.
That's great that you took a flight in an AT-6 Texan. I'm hoping to
do some advanced recovery training some day, perhaps in a plane
like that.
We too had a new experience this past weekend. We went to 3 local
fly-in's in the RV-10, one of which was at a small grass strip
with just about every type of small plane and ultralight you can
imagine. We paid and took the 4 of us up in a 1929 Curtis Wright
TravelAir Biplane. It sure was an experience! I've never
seen my youngest so happy in an airplane. (photo attached)
This reminds me....from time to time, the discussion turns to where
to put the OAT probe in the airplane. One builder recently told
me they didn't want to tear things up to move the wire out to
under the wing, somewhere mid-span, like I suggested...and that
they would mount it far back aft under the tailcone. From the
ride in the TravelAir, I can tell you for sure that you would
never want to do this. I could feel the heat off the cylinders
a few feet back within the boundry layer around the airplane.
There is almost no possible way that your OAT will read properly if
it's inline with the prop, either in the sun on top, or the exhaust
flow on the bottom. Move it out to a place under the wing, near an
inspection panel. If you don't, not only will your chance of icing
maybe go up, but your systems like in my case the Chelton's won't
be able to accurately calculate density altitude and True Airspeed.
Anyway, nice to see you're not so focused on the -10 that you
won't get out and have some fun!

Tim,
I have the 90 degree B&C oil filter adapter. I did the first oil change
after ten hours and following directions punched a hole in the top of the
filter before removing it. Waited 20 minutes and removed the filter. Not a
drop of oil. My assessment of going with the 90 degree adapter - easy on
easy off and no mess.

I just spoke with the people at Matco about returning my front wheel for

plus you pay the shipping charges. If it's been mounted, like mine was
but the plane had never been moved, they have to evaluate whether they

I told the lady, Carolyn, that others said there was no charge if they

That's real cool if you could pull it off within 20 minutes.
I wonder how much would be left after 10? I'm usually ready
to yank the filter within 10 minutes of popping the top cowl.
If you can pull it in 10, I may actually buy one some day.

I'm already deleting a whole bunch of stuff from the finish kit and I
think this will be another item. No sense in paying for it to be
shipped to me, returned, and have another handling fee and shipping fee
assessed. Sure would be nice if Van's would just start using the
correct part. I'm sure Matco has brought this up with them.

Tim,
Hey pop a top on a Bud Lite, put on a Willie Nelson CD and 20 minutes goes
by real quick. On a more serious note on my last flight the EGT on cyl#5
went to 1425 degrees and did not respond to a full rich mixture setting. I
pulled the injector and soaked it in MEK for 20 minutes (there's that time
again - maybe 10 minutes would work). Test flight this morning and now #5
is the coolest EGT. May clean the others.

Does anyone with the TruTrak Auto Pitch Trim have a picture of how the
"Link Trim Sensor" gets installed? The installation manual says "Note:
The link sensor replaces the existing push-rod between the pitch servo
and the control system. This sensor is required for the system to
function; it is part of the fail safe design of the system.", but I
can't figure out how the heck I'm supposed to do that. The link sensor
has a rod end bearing on one end...what do I do with the other end?
I've emailed trutrak, but guess I need to call them as I can't seem to
get a response. This is one case where a picture would be worth a

Tim,
I have the 90 degree B&C oil filter adapter. I did the first oil
change
after ten hours and following directions punched a hole in the top of
the
filter before removing it. Waited 20 minutes and removed the filter.
Not a
drop of oil. My assessment of going with the 90 degree adapter - easy
on
easy off and no mess.

Guys,
Here's what I am doing for the HTS (Hot Tunnel Syndrome). I made two brackets
that raise up off the bottom floor by 1 inch. They are simple U-brackets made
from .050 2024. The existing cradle brackets are then riveted on and three
holes on each flange are then riveted to the Tunnel side walls.
I have a"KoolMat" insulation layer laying on the floor followed by 1 inch of
closed cell foam I bought from Wicks. The fuel lines will be firesleeved when
I finish making them.
SO much easier working in the Tunnel without the side skins on!
Zack

Rodger,
Just looked through my albun and can't find one. I'm going to the hangar
tomorrow and will get one or two to send you.

Rodger,
I just checked Scott Schmidt's site and he has a great shot of the adapter
attached to the engine before he hung the engine. Look under "IO-540 for
RV10". Let me know if you would still like pictures of mine and I'll get
them to you.

Subject: | Re: A few new photos and items posted |
Thank you, Mark. I looked at Scott's pics. Looks like the filter is
turned 90 degrees by the adapter and is butt high. So by punching a hole
in the top (butt) of the filter, the oil drains back into the engine
with nothing left after about 20 minutes. This looks like a mess saving
way to change the oil filter. What specific adapter did you order from
B&C for your IO-540? I looked at their website and they have several.
Thanks again,
Roger
