I suppose that if the experimental aircraft wants to stay out of controlled airspace (Class A,B,C.D, airways, etc.) , then you can fly IFR/VFR in uncontrolled airspace (mostly below 800 AGL and outside ABCD, etc) without a static check and transponder check. It is true that the inspections and authorizations of Part 43 do not apply to experimental but you will comparable limitations defined in your operating limitations. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Link McGarity" <wv4i@bellsouth.net> Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 2:50 AM Subject: Re: RV10-List: GRT EFIS > --> RV10-List message posted by: Link McGarity <wv4i@bellsouth.net> > > Part 43 does not apply to experimental aircraft.

Before I mount the elevator trim servo bracket with the Ray Allen trim servo, I wanted to think about the wiring. The wires make a real sharp bend due to the closeness of the mounting bracket. See attached picture. Did anyone cut out a half circle in the bracket or just bend the wires and cover with protective material? Also, what wire did you guys use to hook up the servo? I was thinking of ordering the WC2 5 wire Teflon Installation Cable from Ray Allen at $1.10 per foot. Thanks for the input Marc Hudson #560

    --> RV10-List message posted by: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com> Although portions apply specifically to Certificated (TC) Aircraft, you are mistaken to believe that none of the FAR 43 applies to Owner Built and Maintained Aircraft. Knowledge to this error is most important in building and operating a safe aircraft. To operate otherwise gives a false perception to conscientious builders. You might do some additional research on the subject. The wildest part of the Wild West is the similar attitude with foreign built warbirds which are Certificated under Experimental Exhibition - Warbird. When completed, the RV-10 will be Certificated Experimental Amateur Built, with an appropriately applied Airworthiness Certificate which is valid only while and if you correctly maintain said aircraft.

    Look for another avionics shop technician that brings his portable test equipment to YOU! With portable test equipment, the technician only has to connect a line to your pitot tube, a suction cup over static port(s), and a small antenna near your transponder antenna to perform the certification test. Last test cost me approx. $175 and was accomplished at MY hangar.... Jack Lockamy RV-7A N174JL 240 hrs Camarillo, CA RV-10 lurker www.jacklockamy.com

    Deems & Jesse, Thanks for the idea of using the d-subs! Sure beats any can of worms I was coming up with. I asked our computer guy about the RJ45 connectors and yes they take a special crimping tool. As a side note, just had my wings inspected by our Tech counselor and he is very pleased with them.

Knife splice, butt splice, AMP PIDG or what? I ask primarily because the aileron trim servo is mounted on the left wing's inboard inspection cover. And it seems like it would be nice to be able to "unplug it" in the future without cutting the wires. Vern Smith (#40324 wings)

    --> RV10-List message posted by: "John Gonzalez" <indigoonlatigo@msn.com> Hi Richard, I just got off the phone with Van's and asked them to have the powers that be review the building manual and make a comment about being careful to respect the up/down dimension of where the drill will exit out of the second hole on the second horn. Not jus tbe concerned about the most aft horn being the designated guide. I wanted to ask you the minimum edge distance as you stated, is that in steel or in alluminum? I discussed the issue of welding on a plate and and he did not think that was necessary, there also could be a weakening of the original material at the intersection of the new plate and the horn. Just for discussion, (If I could not sleep because of this) he discussed an alternate remedy, riveting another plate of similair material(4130 steel) with say 6 rivets using the same hole, just to extend the gap between the hole edge and the bottom edge of the horn. As I have stated, I have 6/32 of material on the bottom edge from hole edge to horn bottom edge, and when this is all torqued down with washers pinching this together I wonder how exposed to stresses this 6/32" of material will be. still need to review the connection, but alteast there are a couple of alternative remedies other than rework JOhn G. 409 >From: "Richard Garforth" <richard@hawk.flyer.co.uk> >To: "\"John Gonzalez\"" <indigoonlatigo@msn.com> >Subject: Re: RV10-List: elevator control horn drilling >Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2006 12:40:50 +0100 > >John, > >I fell in the same hole !

    Subject: True Flight/ Truemap software
    Just a PIREP on their product and service. I purchased the software, the XM receiver and WAAS GPS in June 2006. At that I was told by their sales representative that the Data Base updates for a year were included in the price. I activated the XM weather in June so that I could test it on my trip to OSH. XM weather bills quarterly. The software and XM weather worked satisfactorily on the trip. Upon return home I decided to cancel XM weather and did so prior to the new billing period for me. One month later the next billing was on my credit card statement. Several phone calls required to get that removed. About a week ago I received an email that my data base update subscription was expiring and I needed to renew for $199. I emailed them that I had been assured that the first years subscription was included. Their representative replied that he had never seen a years subscription included and would only allow 7 months. I just looked at my credit card online and found a billing from them for $199. I just emailed them demanding that they remove the unauthorized charge and I also notified the credit card company. As you can see its hard to discard this TAR BABY. Buyer beware.

    We have had the opposite experience with True Flight. We initially bought the year of updates and we have been very happy. The XM weather is between you and XM, not True Flight. They just do you the favor of setting it up initially, although you can do that directly yourself also. The Flight Cheetah is, hands down, the best depiction of in-flight weather we have seen. The stability and navigation leaves a little to be desired, but it beats the 396 easily for display of weather information and situational awareness.

    David, I have been looking at their product as well. Here is what there web site says. Database Subscription The basic annual database subscription includes the following updates: $199.00 I used AnywhereMap for a couple of years and loved it. Anywheremap and True flight are suppose to interface with the Zaon Traffic box so I have been looking at both. I have not been flying since last December when I sold my Skyhawk so have not needed to renew or purchase a new system. True Flights flight level data derived from XM winds is a strong selling point for their product. Did you get a chance to test that feature?

    FWIW: RJ45 crimpers which do an acceptable job are not very expensive. (I've got a couple which are used for Cat 5 network wiring. BUT - In the high vibration, variable temperature environment of an airplane I wouldn't trust the RJ45s as far as I could through a Boeing 747! The d-subs, if properly secured are good, and there are several others which are better, but heavy and expensive.

So just a few more steps and on to the fuselageJ Vern (#30324 fuselage almost) Do not archive ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Jesse Saint Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 11:43 AM To: rv10-list@matronics.com Subject: RE: RV10-List: Ray Allen Trim Servo I used 9-pin d-subs with zip-ties through the holes in the two connectors to hold them together and heat shrink from the back of the connector onto the wires.

Smith Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 11:11 AM To: rv10-list@matronics.com Subject: RE: RV10-List: Ray Allen Trim Servo Hi all, Since we are talking about Allen trim servos, what kind of wire connectors are people using to hook it to the wiring? Knife splice, butt splice, AMP PIDG or what? I ask primarily because the aileron trim servo is mounted on the left wing's inboard inspection cover. And it seems like it would be nice to be able to "unplug it" in the future without cutting the wires. Vern Smith (#40324 wings)

    Subject: cowl louvers
    Flying RV10 people, I'm in the process of finishing up my cowling and baffling. In looking at the louvers that go on the bottom back of the cowl I have been debating whether the additional louvers that Alex offers would be worth installing. Have any of you flying had difficulty with engine heat problem and do you feel that Alex's additional louvers would be worth installing. In case you haven't seen the louvers I'm talking about here is the web address where you can see what they look like. http://www.rvtraining.com/html/rv10_pics.html Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
