John I just touched the wires to the battery pack terminals on my cordless
and swap the wires around to run the other way. Watch for the clearance as
the attaching bolt on the arm passes through the trim bracket. I decided to
enlarge the slot on mine as it was way too close.

John G, I think I used a 9V battery. Also, just as John D.
says below, definitely look for space as the bellcrank arm
swings the bolt through the slot. If your is like most
others, there won't be much clearance and you'll have the
potential for it getting hung up. A little work with the
file to open it up in one area should fix that.

I'm REALLY hoping not to launch another "built it myself" vs.
"paid to have it built" discussion, but I did just want to get
say one small thing....
This is one of my concerns regarding the purchase of "professionally
built" kitplanes. One has to wonder if people like Sen. Inhofe
who buys a kitplane can ever possibly maintain it to the degree
that the actual builder would. Is it possible that there was some
issue developing with his tailwheel that he might have noticed if
he was the actual builder? I mean, I built my RV-10, and that
doesn't make me an expert at all....but I do know every nut,
bolt, wire, and part that went into that airframe. I've already
run into that nosewheel spacer problem, but there's something to
be said with having such an intimate knowledge of an airplane.
I'm sure it's not that big of a deal, considering that still the
majority of people buy planes from factories, but I would think
that a builder has GOT to have more depth of understanding than
just about anyone including an A&P about his or her personal
airplane. And a diligent builder should have a pretty safe
plane after he works out all the initial squaks.
The other piece of the puzzle is participation in the community
like most everyone that reads this.....I just HAVE to believe
that in the end, this is a huge benefit to everyone's safety.
There's so much info here that would help a builder find and
fix problems before they occur. So personally I can't see
it getting much safer than this scenario:
A) Using a fantastic quality kit (like we are)
B) Building it to high standards
C) Built by the flying owner
D) Who participates regularly in a forum related to their aircraft
E) Who doesn't skimp on the ongoing maintenance cost
F) and uses good judgement in their flying
I would think this COULD be related to why we just saw that
article showing 21% reduction in homebuilt fatal accidents.

We have lots of great participation in all RV groups.

The black wire and white wires are power. Reverse them to change direction.
Use 12volt. The one from my cordless worked just fine.

It' is Saturday morning here on the left coast and I just couldn't pass
on such a great topic over coffee. The Lancair guys often have pursued
professional build assist. The builders make a lot of bucks. Many kit
purchasers had no knowledge on B) or what to look for; many passed on
C); many did not know what was required (actual not legal) to comply
with E); then most of the accident statistics were directly related to
F).
Now don't get me wrong, most of these guys share far more information
than even on this site. They get really deep into the Why. They always
challenge an answer. They learn from their mistakes and the craft does
improve. However, a high number of low time pilots with lots of cash
were lured with the songs of sexy design and speed. They may not have
adequately maintained their thoroughbred, and the certainly did not
maintain high performance flight skills. The statistical results are in
with scores of builders having invested much more money (than any RV-10)
and yes of blood, sweat, tears, then being left with a dilemma. What do
builders do when the first 30% of the completed kits start becoming
statistics and skew the insurance costs for those not yet finished? We
have about 50 of 650 flying. 30% won't hit till around 150 to 250
complete.
The RV-10 is a most successful story on empennage kits sold. That is
only important to VAN. And he thanks you. Insurance cares about
actuaries. Now we have had two deaths (non flying related), three
divorces, six change of heart and countless other reasons for changes of
pursuit. Tim has posted a list which should be on every single builders
wall. A) thru F). There are currently three types of kit builds out
there skewing our insurance results. Those built and maintained by the
owner - X; Those paid to others to build and then maintained by the
owner /(selected mechanic) - Y; and then those purchased from someone
else - Z. Maybe the taskforce needs to grapple with three distinct
types of homebuilt (X,Y,Z) and correct maintenance issues at the
certification point for all three. Tell me again how maintenance is
done on Z. Demand better DAR reviews of builder knowledge before
delivery of the airworthiness. Focus an effort on builder/owners who
maintain their kit-builds cuz many mechanics won't touch the liability
and many are clearly not qualified beyond certificated TC aircraft. I
play one in real life and know the guys I work with.
Sen. Inhofe is now a unique statistic at this point. Thank goodness he
is not on the 51% Taskforce setting our policy. Oh gawd, tell me he
isn't.
You guys should always share your concerns, question the instructions,
seek sound practices and techniques, then maintain the quality that Tim
proposes in B and F). All of our insurance rates will be the better for
it. Always get a second opinion and be cautious when you are told "Just
build it". That assumes you know what you are doing in the first place
and the playing field is not level on everyone's knowledge on specific
tasks. The intent should be the builders Education and Enjoyment.
Yours!
"The tree of life is self pruning. Don't go out on a limb". Thanks Tim
and Dan.

| Subject: | backup instrumentation |
When I first started flying the company's Baron (dual Cert Cheltons) I was
constantly flying by the backup ASI and ALT. I found the Chelton had just
'too much information' on it for me to handle (coupled with learning the
whole two motor thing). Somewhere in the next 15 hours it all changed, I
can't tell you exactly when but I attribute it to getting comfortable with
the airplane and learning what button does what on the Chelton. Everything
cleared right up and now I wouldn't have it any other way, EFIS even going
through teething is IMO the only way to go. Give yourself some backups to
keep you honest and life will be grand.
Even thought we have a long ways to go, the build partner and I have (for
now) decided on Dual OP's for the Primary Flight and MFD displays. Backups
are still on the negotiation table. Whether it is Dynon, GRT, OP, or
Chelton (buy what fits YOUR needs and budget) I just can't see anyone
regretting going the EFIS route.

Great article Tim,
Can you expand with your experience on the paragraph about Chelton's
"The Avidyne and the Garmin show you an artificial horizon and some
data that will let you use your 50 hours of instrument training to
figure out how to follow an FAA instrument approach procedure. As
long as there are big computer screens in front of the pilot, why not
just show the terrain and a "highway in the sky" series of successive
boxes through which you ought to fly to get to the runway? Microsoft
Flight Simulator can do this for less than $50, so why not have it in
your $250,000 airplane?
NASA had the same idea and their contractor, Chelton Flight Systems,
makes a primary flight display that does these things and is
certified for certified airplanes. People retrofit the Chelton to
Beechcraft Barons and similar high-end aircraft and it comes from the
factory on a lot of turbine-powered helicopters. An inexpensive
similar system for experimental airplanes is available from
www.bluemountainavionics.com.
The Garmin G1000 might some day be upgraded to work like the Chelton,
but don't hold your breath.
People who have flown the Chelton say that is probably the best
system out there, but unfortunately it is substantially more
expensive than the Garmin and Avidyne products, supposedly mostly due
to the fact that a more expensive technology is used to determine
aircraft attitude."

Hi
A couple of weeks ago I queried the list for compressor recommendations.
Always one to take good advice, I just purchased a Husky VT6315 from the
Home Depot Aviation Department based on the list recommendations.
After run in of the motor I decided to see how loud it really was. Using my
Radio Shack sound meter, it clocked in at 89-90db from about 3 feet away.
This seems to be consistent with what CH says about the unit and is lower
than the DB ratings on other units. Although it doesn't seem that loud, I
may build an insulated box for the unit anyway. If I do, I'll post the
before / after sound levels.
Cheers

Sorry, I really can't comment much on it. I didn't
write it. I also have no time behind the Avidyne or the G1000
so I Can't comment much on those either. I just have time behind
my chelton, so I can only expand on, the Chelton stuff from
what I have seen. I Can say that the HITS was Something that
I originally thought was kind of dumb and figured I'd turn it
off on mine. But, after flying with it, I find it truly amazing,
and incredibly Safety enhancing too. I've recently started flying
some fully AP coupled approaches and am now fully amazed.
I hope to have some photos and videos when I get time.
Personally I was Surprised at the amount of things the writer
found to criticize. I always thought the Avidyne was my choice
of those two.... but now I'd say between the two in the article
I may lean towards the G1000. But, I'm glad I didn't have
those options back then, because I like my choice now.

Aircrafters ask for Richard, Double Bridges Aviation ask for Quentin. Sorry
I don't have the numbers in front of me bu AOPA or A/FD should help there.
That said, I really don't know if either has the equipment you need but they

Rob, thanks, I'll give them a call. 1 hour flight should be just fine,
especially if I get the wheel pants on!

Is just east of Dothan, AL at Enterprise (EDN) too far away? Have an FAA
Certified Repair Station (Aircrafters of Enterprise) as well as Double
Bridges Aviation, the flight school whose A&P owner does all the
maintenance, and he works helicopter maintenance for the Army.
Aircrafters ask for Richard, Double Bridges Aviation ask for Quentin. Sorry
I don't have the numbers in front of me bu AOPA or A/FD should help there.
That said, I really don't know if either has the equipment you need but they
have people come from all around, and at least could tell you who to use.

I am in desperate need of getting my RV-10 IFR worthy. Does anyone know of
a good place to get the XPDR and static checks completed in South Georgia or
North Florida? I have a tentative appointment with Stark avionics where I
bought by radios, but it's not until 24 Oct and a little far away. The guys
at Macon, GA are out for 2 weeks.
Thanks,
Marcus

The only time the compressor noise will be an issue is when you are
using a die grinder. So, get your self some ear plugs. For all other
operations it will only kick on a few times a day.

Anyone interested in a fair deal in Life Insurance (term), which includes
the knowledge of 'flying' and Experimental RV-4, research Travers Insurance
Group. Francis Medler can help you out and my premium quote was actually reduced
after Colony Life was informed that I also flew around in a lowly Cessna
150 as well.
