Mine is mounted to the back side of the wall (hanger and shop are
partitioned) feeding a hose reel on the wall in the shop. Keeps the
compressor from getting in the way and eliminates the annoyance when the
compressor kicks in. The reel keeps hose out of the way when not using
air.

| Subject: | Dick Waters engine |
I agree, I bought mine from him and it was exactly as specified. I feel
like I practically stole it from him it was such a good deal. I
immediately
had the key components sent in and checked all were as specified. It
sat in
parts for about two years then was rebuilt and it runs smoother than any
engine I have experience with. Now its sitting in the corner begging me
to
work on the airframe :-) Two other local builders bought their engines
from
him and have had nothing bad to say.

Please relate your info in the forum. Having one of his engines in hand
along with a pleasant process definitely needs the other side of the
coin.
He said to call him prior to engine run for a phone walk-through. The
engine is also unconditionally guaranteed for one year from first run on
the
airplane.

| Subject: | Hartzell Composite Prop |
--> RV10-List message posted by: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
My apologizes for everyone who held interest. The prop is so superior
to the MT and AeroComp and is marketed specifically to the competition
aerobatic market. $50,000 for the three blades, hub and spinner. Their
area code has just changed from 513 to 937 so calling the old number did
not work.
Engineers are discussing a competitive offering to the wood core MT
variant for those looking for a more Barco Lounger ride.
This one is all Kevlar/Composite core so Sean, Mark and Patty can beat
the #$&% out of it. For best performance, its still a two blade
scimitar aluminum Hartzell in front of a DSS balanced internal
combustion AVGAS burning engine.

interestly Homedepot has the VT6315 as 5 HP as well, it's interesting
because the CH VT6315 in the Campbell Hausfeld website states "2HP" for the
compressor, they are the same compressor, I guess putting the "Husky" label
on the compressor gives it a 3HP boost!

Actually, I know EXACTLY why the same pump is listed at 2 different
HP's. When I got my VT6271 (I think that was the number), it wasn't
long after and I got notifications of a class-action lawsuit.
Eventually, if you had a compressor labeled with the higher HP
rating from certain years, you were entitled to file a claim and
get something like $50 of free product from CH. It seems someone
got tired of misrepresentation of HP ratings on compressors,
and the lawsuit got going. Mine was labeled properly, but I'm
sure this is why CH is listed lower. If Husky got sued, they'd
probably drop their rating too, as would many/most other compressor
manufacturers of these small home shop compressors.

Yup. I got a notice about that. Keep in mind that it's really the cubic
feet per minute or second that's the key. They might exaggerate that, too,
but it'd be not as likely. Remember the days when your cool stereo amp said
it could put out 500 watts of pure music power! Ahhhhhh, the numbers game.
Go for quiet. If you've got the room and the bucks, go 220 and big tank and
quiet. Runs less and would be available for anything you'd throw at it.

--> RV10-List message posted by: Les Kearney <kearney@shaw.ca>
Hi
Here I was already to get a Husk compressor when I can across an oil free
Porter Cable compressor with the following specs:
Noise 82dba
Tank 26 gal
Max Pressure 175 psi
Two stage, direct drive, twin cylinder
3 year warranty
1.6 running HP motor
Model CPFC2TV3525VP
This is also a bit cheaper than the Husky VT6315.
Does anyone have experience with Porter Cable products (and perhaps this
model in particular)?
Cheers

Porter cable generally makes good stuff, but I'd recommend
avoiding an oil free compressor. You'll likely be happier
with an oiled model, especially with cast iron cylinders,
as they're quieter, and will probably last much longer too.
You also don't need anything over 110-125 psi for the plane build.

Hi
Here I was already to get a Husk compressor when I can across an oil free
Porter Cable compressor with the following specs:
Noise 82dba
Tank 26 gal
Max Pressure 175 psi
Two stage, direct drive, twin cylinder
3 year warranty
1.6 running HP motor
Model CPFC2TV3525VP
This is also a bit cheaper than the Husky VT6315.
Does anyone have experience with Porter Cable products (and perhaps this
model in particular)?
Cheers
Les

If you absolutely need a vertical than you'll do fine with this but for the
same money, if space allows, I would encourage another Porter-cable- but in
the Craftsman quise the #00919541000,
SCFM Delivery At 40 psi 8.6 SCFM
SCFM Delivery At 90 psi 6.8 SCFM
compared to your choice
SCFM Delivery At 40 psi 5.6 SCFM
SCFM Delivery At 90 psi 5.1 SCFM
same price but the best CFM I have found. Just something to consider.

| Subject: | Flying -10s in Northwest |
G'day all,
I am in Seattle at the moment on business. I was wondering if there
were any completed 10's in the area. I know Vans is 'just down the
road', but I think they are closed on the weekends. (I think I flew over
their field on the way up from LAX - and the scenery here is just
awesome!). I'll have some time to kill over this coming weekend (7/8
Sep), so would love to touch base with any builders in the area.
cheers,
Ron from South Oz
finishing (when I'm home)

Gotta wonder huh David? I'm wiring so my compressor has been quite silent, but
does anyone know of a pneumatic RG-400 connector crimper? My Radio Shack one is
a bear to squeeze ;)

It's obvious that all the problems in the construction of the RV-10 have been solved.
Any of you newbies want to ask about shimming up the nose ribs on the VS
& HS or SOMETHING besides hot, compressed air.
Hey....What kinda primer youse guys and gals using?

I would be surprised if you get an oiless hat makes it through the
entire project. They have a bad tendency to burn up after a few hundred
hours. And 82db is quite loud, like ear plug loud if it's in the same
room being used regularly.

Hi
Here I was already to get a Husk compressor when I can across an oil
free Porter Cable compressor with the following specs:
Noise 82dba
Tank 26 gal
Max Pressure 175 psi
Two stage, direct drive, twin cylinder
3 year warranty
1.6 running HP motor
Model CPFC2TV3525VP
This is also a bit cheaper than the Husky VT6315.
Does anyone have experience with Porter Cable products (and perhaps this
model in particular)?

SERFI is coming up October 6-8, www.serfi.org <http://www.serfi.org/> .
I'll be able to make it in the afternoon on Saturday and what I can on
Friday. I may even be able to fly an Army training helicopter over there
for a while and be an impromptu static display.
I'd love to see some RV-10s there; it was great seeing Vic and Carol's last
year. So here's to plenty of planning time to see some of you completed
guys there.
