I am using the GP301-12 pre-oiler from Infinity Aerospace ($230.00 plus
shipping).
http://www.infinityaerospace.com/
I obtained the check valve from a local plumbing supply house (don't get the
flapper type) and the hoses were made locally. I mounted the pre-oiler on
the right side firewall down low and ran the inlet line from an extra sump
plug and the outlet line up to the ECI 90 degree adapter drain plug 1/4"
even with the reduced line flow the pre-oiler works great.

I searched up Vic's flight from OSH and found that he was filed
the same way. Someone somewhere must have HXB/G programmed that
way. I suppose it's possible that they got it in the database
that way at one of the organizations. FWIW, the equipment in the
panel between all 3 planes is the same.

I also trimed the baffles on one and two.It helped quite a bit they still run
a little hotter than I would like and I adjust climbout accordingly.I ordered
a Sam James plenum and will report the results.When OAT"s are in the 90"s #1
will hit 425 at a climbout of 120kts.Also Alex De dominicis developed louvres
which he reports lowers chts quite a bit.

With clear blue skies and a 5 knot breeze test pilot Pip Boorman
conducted the first flight of my RV10 at Bendigo Australia . Last
checks on the plane found a broken Alternator belt as the alternator
pulley had come adrift, and slight fouling of the governor cable on the
top cowl.After a high speed taxi run the plane departed in a very short
distance for a uneventful flight problems noted were that the trim could
be faster (matronics governor to have its speed increased) and a little
bit left wing heavy. Pips comments on the ground were that the design
was a credit and to plan at 185 knots.

Congratulations! 2 first flights in as many days, the numbers are going
exponential. I hope you get to fly yourself very soon and reward yourself
for all the hard work.
One note I meant to pass on about my machine, I don't have the governor on
the pitch trim and wouldn't want it to move any slower. It seems just about
right so I'm not going to bother with the governor others have discussed.

Here are some pictures from N585MR before and after the initial voyage
yesterday. No true RV-Grin shots, but I assure you it was there! I put
another 1.5 on it today and all is going great. I got the pictures as small
as possible, my apologizes if the e-mail is still a little large.
Regarding the high #1 CHT, I swapped the #1 and 3 CHT probes and it turns
out the sender must be a little off as it still showed #1 to be a little
hotter than the rest. I also trimmed the baffle slightly, climbed out
faster and all is good on the CHT gauge.
One lesson learned from yesterday was I have 3 EFIS displays, a great Garmin
stack and all I could find was the airspeed indication! New panel, new
instrument crosscheck. Today went much better although the Dynon hung up at
60 degrees of bank and never fully recovered. I have not installed the
updated software (firmware?) so hopefully that will help. I was able to
take the time to work the avionics much more effectively, even listened to
some tunes briefly.
Great machine, can't wait to fly it again.

This brought me a couple of questions...
1) Do you have a regular or Sam James cowl, that you're going
to fit the plenum into?
2) Can you describe the louvres at all, like where they're placed
and what they look like?

If you want to save yourself about $100 on these, look around online.
These are common Reverso pumps. JD doesn't even change the part numbers
other than dropping the "H" off the end for high volume. He just sells
them at list price. One example is here:
http://www.marine-electronics-unlimited.com/Reverso+Oil+Gear+Pumps.html
Interestingly enough, they only have a temperature rating of 140F.

Tim,
Alex has pictures of his 10 with the louvers installed. Not sure how he
installed them but believe he used RTV and pop rivets because of the
honeycomb cowling.

Great news. Congratulations!
On the CHT, I was going to suggest swapping the probes. It=92s always
best to
make sure you truly have a problem before solving it. Keep us posted on
this, as we have not seen this problem at all with the air ramps.
Hey, X35 is almost inside you test flying area, isn=92t it (wink wink,
nudge
nudge). Keep it going.

I guess with all the success stories showing up about trimming the
baffles ...... go ahead and trim. If you're still having high temps,
take a look down through the fins around the spark plug .....some
cylinders have flashing that closes off the air passage. A drop light
in the lower cowl will help a lot. Patience and a jewelers file will
open them up, although I've seen some flashing so thick that a drill bit
was used.

RV10 - Wings just arriving

Subject: RV10-List: First Flight
With clear blue skies and a 5 knot breeze test pilot Pip Boorman
conducted the first flight of my RV10 at Bendigo Australia . Last
checks on the plane found a broken Alternator belt as the alternator
pulley had come adrift, and slight fouling of the governor cable on the
top cowl.After a high speed taxi run the plane departed in a very short
distance for a uneventful flight problems noted were that the trim could
be faster (matronics governor to have its speed increased) and a little
bit left wing heavy. Pips comments on the ground were that the design
was a credit and to plan at 185 knots.
