    You know, if his email box is full, he won't get your message to the list either :) But, someone probably knows how to contact him and taunt him a bit :) -Jim 40384 Auxillary fuel tank brackets done Wayne Edgerton wrote: > Hey Deems, I tried to e-mail you something off line and it says you > e-mail box over flowth.

    Don't know what the problem is, I just checked my e-mail account to see if I had any alerts etc. and it say I'm only @ 17% of allocated capacity, I checked the Matronics BBS interface to see if I've been missing messages and it looks like I'm receiving everything there, I just sent an e-mail from one of my other e-mail accounts to this account and it arrived all right, also checked the spam file to see if something got intercepted there, So I stumped!

    Subject: Seat belts attach points - am I confused?
    Skimming posts regarding need for additional seat belt hard points leaves me... puckering. Are folks saying that the current -10 seat belt attach points are "inadequate"? For the most part, we the building community, place our lives in the hands of a few structural aero engineers. Unless you have that sort of background the rest is speculation - at best.

    Subject: backup fuel pump question
    While shooting the breeze recently with a 17000+ hour pilot I commented that my fuel pump had just arrived. He said, "Just one? Where's the backup pump going to go?". I then realized that I had never thought about it before, but there only a single pump in the tunnel. Is there another "backup" pump that maybe mounts directly on the engine (e.g. io540)? What have others done here? Thanks in advance, Jay - Rivet purgatory on fuse skins

    the primary pump is the engine driven fuel pump on the IO540 designed to go to TBO. If it fails, the tunnel electric is the backup; it is also used for priming to start. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jay Brinkmeyer" <jaybrinkmeyer@yahoo.com> Sent: Saturday, November 18, 2006 11:25 AM Subject: RV10-List: backup fuel pump question > > While shooting the breeze recently with a 17000+ hour pilot I commented > that my > fuel pump had just arrived.

    Subject: Seat belts attach points - am I confused?
    From: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    Let me go out on that limb and say Yes, David McNeill's mount appears to spread the concentration of attachment force over a wider area and provide greater retention of the passenger in a survivable crash (IMHO). Passengers tend not to always limit their body weigh to 177 pounds and carry only 35 pounds of baggage (which should be positively secured to the floor). VAN must say that their current design is adequate. This is a perception of degrees of improvement. I don't think VANS could/ would ever discourage pursuit of David's correction technique. I think multiple point straps will do even more retention. I attended an interesting PPT from the Oregon State Medical Examiner on post mortem evaluations. Limb fractures were most interesting. His Halon suppression system also an improvement. He also sought aeronautical engineering perspective in his decision. David gets my Safety Award for 2006. Boeing has many Apache Helicopter engineers at Mesa to drawn on. An unexpected autorotation when you suck a shoulder launched (RPG) mounted rocket can really make your day.

    Subject: Re: Seat belts attach points - am I confused?
    Inadequate? probably only in a crash. Before starting to reinforce the existing hardpoints, we asked two questions: What do we need to attach the inertial belts/airbags? Is the existing hardware and hard point adequate? Although my background/degree is mathematics and computers and I have an A&P, I did need feel that these were sufficient to answer the questions? Fortunately I have a neighbor couple who hold Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering PhDs who provide free advice. In addition my building partner has access to engineers who use composites and sheet metal to build military aviation hardware. Both sources indicated that a single 5/16" CS screw would pull right through the glass in any significant crash. It is standard procedure in composite construction to spread the load of the metal fastener over as large an area as possible. If you decide to go with the existing hard points, I suggest you make a large washer out of .020 stainless and dimple it for the 5/16" screw, this will spread the load from the screw (area = PI radius(.025) squared ) to the washer diameter ( PI radius (.5) squared). Check the calculations and find that the load is spread over about 6 times the area. We elected to spread the load by using multiple fasteners each with its own stainless CS washer and reinforce the whole area with additional E-glass . The aluminum plate inside is the strongest aluminum alloy 7075 or 2024. We use the aluminum to attach the belt roller brackets. My engineering friends said that the weak point would still be the composite. We then used a structural mat to tie all the hardpoints together. I am sure that Vans believes that the hardpoints are sufficiently strong but this is there first use of structural composites. Except for cowl I don't know of another structural component that they use on their aircraft. The change of the hardpoints were not done on a whim or without consultation from those who should know. Just my $.02.

    Subject: Trim cables question
    So, after cursing and struggling with the Trim control cables I finally got them all routed and hooked up. Now the manual tells me to disassemble the HS/Tailcone/VS. Do I have to pull out the cables I routed or did any of you disconnect them at the trim motor? Jeff Dalton

    Subject: Trim cables question
    After all of my struggling to connect them I left them connected for at least two days so I cold take pictures, but then yes, I disconnected them from the elevators. Left them attached to the trim motor/mount.
