    Subject: C Type Pneumatic Rivet Squeezer
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "John Testement" <jwt@roadmapscoaching.com> I also highly recommend getting a foot pedal control for it. It is real handy to clamp the squeezer to a bench and use two hands to move a larger part of skin through it. Go mine from Cleveland and am very happy with it.

    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Doerr, Ray R [NTK]" <Ray.R.Doerr@sprint.com> Tim, that was a great letter. You could have told them about my quote from them. It was $9,500 for $150,000 haul while others were in the $4,500 to $5,500 value for the same thing. Also worth noting is that AIG was covering it right from the first flight while others wouldn't until it had 10 hours. Thank You Ray Doerr N519RV - 130 hrs. IFR Pitot Static check completed yesterday. Clouds, here I come! -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Tim Olson Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2006 1:41 PM Subject: RV10-List: Insurance Rates - A fun little rant of mine --> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com> I just got another mailing from Avemco soliciting me for insurance from them. I've been tossing them out, but I thought that maybe this time I'd stuff the envelope with something that hopefully will eventually make a difference. So here's what I put in it...I had fun writing it. --- 9/13/2006 Avemco Management, I am writing to you to inform you that it is a waste of time to solicit me regarding insurance for my plane, an experimental RV-10. After receiving a couple of verbal quotes before I completed my plane, and hearing about other RV-10 builders experiences with quotes on their RV-10's by Avemco, you guys have quickly become the laughing stock of the RV-10 insurance market....a market that is considerable. There are now well over 625 RV-10 kits sold, and over 50 flying. Mine is up to 138 hours of trouble-free operation, and there are other builders with over 300 hours. These aircraft have a typical hull value of between $120,000 and $200,000, and should have been a great potential market for any insurance company. They are built from kits from a highly reputable kit company, they are generally built with fairly high building standards, and they are a very well handling and performing plane. I myself am very active in the RV-10 builder community and I thought it worth while to pass this feedback to you, as perhaps once you come to the realization that you are completely out of your minds on insurance rates for these planes, things may eventually be changed. My initial quote from you was for $4,900, which is well over $1500 more than I ended up paying through alternate insurers. So you can kindly take me off of your mailing list until such a time that your rates reflect the current realities of today's market for these planes. It would be very nice if we could see competitive rates, such as $150,000 hull value for under $2,500/yr, but until then, you've really lost this entire market. Sincerely, Tim Olson -- Tim Olson - RV-10 N104CD - Flying do not archive

    Subject: Lurker Flies RV-10
    I have been lurking on the Yahoo and Matronix RV-10 lists for two years...couldn't bring myself to commit $100K+ without ever flying an RV. Yesterday I had the chance to fly N220RV with Mike Seager in the right seat. I can sum up the experience with what I said to Mike at the end of the flight...I gotta get me one of these! I thought perhaps the thousands of other lurkers out there might appreciate the observations of this ex-lurker. I am a 300 hour instrument pilot, current but pretty rusty from not flying much over the past few years. Even so, after an hour with Mike I felt pretty comfortable in the 10, and the five landings I made were not bad, certainly better than my average landing in a spam can. One was in a 12 knot crosswind..."right rudder, right rudder, MORE right rudder". Hey, I said I was rusty. Other observations: Lots of power, even with the 210 hp in 220RV. The 260 hp must be a rocket. Much faster than the Cessna's and Pipers I have been flying...170 mph at 10 gph at 2500 msl was one of the datapoints I remember. Stick vs. yoke a non-issue after five minutes. My only stick time was in a super cub. Stalls at all the flap and power settings were slight nose drops and slight buffet...non-events actually. No wing drop at all. 220RV has electric pitch and roll trim on the stick coolie hat. You are going to love electric trim. Even though I had a few hours in aircraft with steering by differential braking, this takes some practice to steer precisely. Landings procedures in the RV-10 are different than spam cans, and 20 knots faster than the Cessna's and Pipers I have been flying. Not harder, just different than you might be used to. I would not advise flying the RV-10 for the first time without some transition training, even if you have thousands of hours. This is my opinion with regard to safety, not insurance requirements, your mileage may vary. Mike Seager is an excellent source for transition training; his website is http://www.rvshirtsnmore.com There were several pilots taking transition training from Mike prior to first flights. Thank you for taking the time to answer my endless questions. Also, thanks to John McMahon for setting up the training in Portland, TN. This airplane is responsive yet stable, a fast load hauler yet easy to fly. Fairly roomy inside yet economical. It is hard to believe you can get all these features in one airplane. Lastly, demo flights in the RV-10 cost between $100K and $150K, depending on your engine and panel selections. Steve Roberts Alpharetta, GA

    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Steven Roberts" <swrpilot@bellsouth.net> Ed, That was 170 mph indicated. I think MP/RPM was around 23-24 squared, and we were 2500 msl. As I recall Mike said you could lean to 8-9 gph and still get 165-170 mph at higher altitudes with the four banger. They will run the Lycoming lean of peak but not the Continental. The 220RV airspeed indicator is in mph.

    Sorry for the cross postings, but I felt this issue was worthwhile. See below an email sent to several news agencies. In addition, a letter is in the draft stages to Sen. Jim Inhofe, who is a member of the Senate Arms Committee and a GA advocate. I encourage you to do the same. "Please review the attached stories regarding the Air Force's disposal of 110 T-3A Firefly airplanes that cost the American taxpayers $33,000,000. These airplanes were grounded after three fatal accidents. It was determined that the airplanes had fuel delivery problems. http://www.txaa.org/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=1554 http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?storyID=123026857 Generally when aircraft are destroyed, they are disassembled and the good components are then sold through auction or salvage. The Air Force, however, has completely destroyed all components, including new engines and propellers still in the crates from the factory. My company is an engine overhaul facility which supports the general aviation market. The engines associated with these aircraft are used in a multitude of certified and experimental aircraft with very reliable results and are highly sought after. In fact, we had already begun inquiries with the GSA on how to bid on these components when these stories came across our desk. What a waste of the taxpayer's money!! I feel confident that even those individuals who don't have a passion for flight would find this type of activity deplorable. I hope you will give this story your consideration."

    As one of the lucky few to go through the enhanced flight screening program at Hondo in 1997, this makes me absolutely sick. The T-3 was a great airplan e to fly. I would have purchased one in a second. At the very least that AEI O-540-D4A5 would have complimented my RV-10 nicely.

    IF I were to buy an RV-10 kit to build for someone else I would buy in their name not my own. Their check & signature. Shipping address..? ?

    There are many more than Van's to blame- does he have the right to not sell to anyone? probably not worth a lawsuit, he has enough of those already with the Harmon Rocket's, is it worth the loss of business? I think not, how about those inspectors? The DAR and/or FAA that allow these planes to get into the market, certainly they are aware who is a builder for education/hobby and one in it for resale. Not saying that N325HP @ $230K out there on Aerotrader for sale wasn't built for education (truthfully it may very well have been ) but when I see "Prof built, high-end. 320HP" with 20, yes, 20 hours total time I have to ask myself what the motivation was for many of these low time planes that are just finishing up the testing time, and for so high?? My point is, that certainly Van sold the kits but he is taking a stance to assure he works with the EAA and FAA to protect those of us who have a passion to build for our own education, entertainment and long term enjoyment. As a Lancair convert I'll say that Van's, the builders, and the flyers of RV aircraft have something special not seen elsewhere. By Van's being in the leadership for this committee, I see it as he is ready to take his time to assure we all (at least the one's doing it for the reason Experimental category was created) benefit in the future knowing he could lose a nice chunk of his business. It's a good thing!
