Oh well. I can't say for sure that you won't have any weakening there, and no I didn't ask. I have seen people drill 2 holes there, instead of 1. I haven't fallen from the sky yet, but I suppose it could happen any day. ;) As for space left over, everything I have front to rear is run through those conduits. The side that has the 2 #2 welding wire runs is pretty darn full. Not much space left. (I do have about 4 wires extra run through just for future use, and even a couple shielded ones on the other side.) The opposite side has space left for more antenna wire or other things, even though it has my huge (pinky sized) tygon static tube running through it. I've heard that a pair of .75" ID lines is just barely enough to manage in simpler installations, so I wanted to guarantee a troublefree install. I can't help make up your mind on what to do about the holes, but I'm glad I have the space I do. Esp. on the Left side, there's just not much room to run things.

I don't follow this logic. Actually, as far as I am concerned, you can have the 10 million dollars. "Give me neither poverty nor riches" is a motto I like to go by, unlike the majority of people. I assume you mean that if you got 10 million dollars it would be gone soon, which would mean you would be broke, which would mean you wouldn't be able to fuel that viper jet.

This dead horse has three broken legs. From: "Lloyd, Daniel R." This is a well thought out reply, and I have food for thought as I asked Jan the same thing about the gear loading, and damping the pulses from the engine. He explained that yes there are pulses, and there are several ways to deal with them, the approach he takes is three fold. First there is a custom designed light weight prop, this reduces the overall inertia associated with a large mass spinning, that causes loading on the gears. This is not to say there still is not loading, just not as much because of the light turning mass, this also reduces the typically gyroscopic effect from a standard prop, less weight less precision acting on the spline to the gear box. In addition, Jan also uses a three way spring system in the large torque dampener on the engine, these springs take the mass of the fly wheel and counteract them by opposite springs absorbing the pulses. The third approach, is to use worm gears, further spreading the load across the face of the teeth. The result is a very smooth running engine, that has the pulses reduced as much as possible. There have been strain gauge tests done to monitor the pulses, and the information is readily available from Jan. In addition, it is not a twin turbo setup, rather a single stage that is used to hold 32" up to 18K feet. There is some boost added down low, but not enough to over stress the engine as your friend try's to imply. Also Fuji industries, maker of the Subaru engines, got its start making aircraft engines, and after the war had to convert to peace time activities. What most people do not think about is that the Subaru Legacy engines are a horizontally opposed 6, just like a Lycoming, so they do share that design principle. One of the big disparities is displacement, Lycoming is 540 cubic inch engine, while the Subaru is 183 cubic inches. I do agree with your friend stating that he wants max power available, we all agree on that. But if we can get the same or slightly less HP in a smaller package, why not? Less weight equals more useful load for the same HP. I know the Subaru FWF package weighs 468 LBS total, includes engine mount, cooling, radiators, sensors, wiring, oil, and Sensi prop etc. I also know the Lycoming, configured in a like configuration, with Hartzell, accessories, oil cooler, plumbing, and baffling etc will come in higher than that, but no one has weighed a Lycoming FWF package. You can take the base numbers, add them together and it is higher to start with, let alone once it is all mounted. So, long story short we still have to wait until next summer to get performance numbers and see what it really is.

This dead horse has three broken legs. Dj, For those wanting more information, I feel I should share this with you. Again, Eric Wolf runs Wolf Aerospace and is supposed to be currently working on a water cooled/direct drive Lyco replacement. I need to touch basis with him and see whats up. I know, we have all heard the same story before. Read below about the problem with reduction drives on internal combustion engines. I imagine some of these gear wear spots could be minimized by using worm drive gearing as it spreads the force out over a greater surface area. Below explains the problem well. Even with this said Eggs are still not out of my thought process. Just more food for thought. >From: "Eric Wolf" >To: "'John Gonzalez'" >Subject: RE: This is umm?? >Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 11:30:51 -0800 > >Hi John.

Why would you run a #2 grounding wire forward? I understand it if the airframe is composite but an all metal aircraft provides a way to eliminate long grounds and save weight. You will be running a #20(?) aft to ground the master relay anyway.

Those engines would otherwise be in some smoking hole somewhere, if there had been an immediate failure, and power loss. THAT is what reliability is in an aircraft engine, and that is what a Lyc with at least one magneto provides.

There can be benefits of both. The main purpose of doing so is to avoid using the airframe as ground so you KNOW where the current is flowing, and all of it is flowing the same way. I assume some also have 2 wires running from the battery compartment because they have 2 batteries back there, but am not sure. I leave it to one and use grounding blocks to the airframe.

Why would you run a #2 grounding wire forward? I understand it if the airframe is composite but an all metal aircraft provides a way to eliminate long grounds and save weight. You will be running a #20(?) aft to ground the master relay anyway. Another consideration is running the DC wires down the left side of the fuselage and running the digital (shielded) pairs triplets and quads down the right side. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jesse Saint" Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2006 7:21 AM Subject: RE: RV10-List: Conduit > > I my experience (and with the wiring that I had) three total conduits of > 3/4" OD (ID just a hair bigger than the #2 Welding wire) was sufficient, > although I had 4 of them, two down each side.

I've asked several RV10 builders that are local to me their opinions about what yokes do I need to get for my squeezer. Both replies I got was to use a 4" and a longeron. One indicated that while he had a 3", he didn't use it. Today, I got the following response from Avery: "Hi Bob, You need the 7730 three inch yoke. It is the one you will use the most. Change the 7555 into the 7530. That gives you one pneumatic with the three inch yoke. Re-add the 7755 longeron yoke. That gives you three yokes, the 7730 (part of the 7530), the 7755 longeron and the 7760 four inch no-hole. You could try to do without the 3" yoke, but I don't recommend it. I would leave the longeron off, before the 3 inch." Since I have no experience to base a decision, I would like to solicit opinions from a larger group of builders. I am on a somewhat constrained budget, which means I'm already spending more than my spouse is aware of at the moment. However, if it will make a significant difference in the ease of construction, I'm not opposed to getting the right tools. So, what yokes do I need to purchase? And yes, they will be attached to a pnuematic squeezer. thanks, bob N410BL - RV10 N3493R - PA28-180 ________________________________ Message 30 ____________________________________ Time: 01:11:08 PM PST US Subject: RE: RV10-List: The difference in Teflon wire?

Don't forget the adjustable set, makes setting it up very fast unless your William "washer/shim man" Curtis who swears by his washer and shim method ;) I ground the nose of my 3" down slightly to allow it to operate close to rib flanges without scratching or scraping the rib in close quarters.

Here is mine: I have all three types, but if I had to forego one of them it would be the 3". I have actually loaned out my 3" yoke and have not really missed it that much. Most of the time I leave the longeron yoke in my squeezer and only occasionally do I reach for the no-hole yoke. Also, you should know that the 4" yoke will tend to deflect when squeezing larger rivets while the 3" didn't seem to give quite as much.

Subject: RE: RV10-List: The difference in Teflon wire? You don't want any "PTFE" wire...only "ETFE"...which is Tefzel (crosslinked). The "22759" number on it's own is almost worthlesss, because there is both teflon and tefzel in that mil spec. The important number is the "slant" or "/" numer, in this case /16...so you want to get M22759/16-xx-xx (x=the wire size, and y=color). There are a LOT of other slant number out there, but some are silver plating, different stranding, different conductors, etc.. Also, the 16878 number is also a good one depending on the slant number...you can just use that main first Mil Spec number as your guide. I'll say it again...save yourself some time and just buy it from someone who already has done the research ----hint, hint, hint! Also, just for an FYI or records, the mil spec for the shielded cable is M27500-TE(or TG)2T22-xxxxxxxx which is a bunch of other gobblteygook that tells you sizing, stranding, color, inner jacket size & type, etc... OK, enough stumping. Teflon has several less desirable properties over Tefzel. Michael Sausen eluded to the stripping, and that it's a lot more slippery. I also has poor cold flow characteristics, which means in large bundles it can and will slowly flow around things like zip ties, etc... Anyway, go with tefzel that is the correct mil spec and you'll be fine.

Wherever that point is, do you run the wires through the Rudder leading edge directly opposite, or is it better for the points to be staggered by several inches so to be easier on the wire? Regarding rudder trim, I modeled what I've seen so far but I think my approach was a bit different in that I mounted the servo on the starboard side of the skin, while the rod protruded from the port side. My thought was that steeper angle shortened the slot I had to cut in the skin for the rod, and possibly less exposed to the slip stream. Also, I have no other RV builders in Fergus Falls, MN (FFM) anyone should stop in anytime and tell me how I'm doing.

And some have not installed them until after flying. It appears that the alignment of these can be critical to the aircrafts top speed and overall handling. The plans call for raising the aircraft off the ground to facilitate the install. If this is the case, wouldn't it be better to install the pants & leg fairings BEFORE the engine gets hung? Would it help to ensure a better alignment? Does it make it easier / less time? From Tim' site it's obvious that they can be added later, for those of you who added them later, if you had it to do over again would you do them earlier? What about the other way around (those who did earlier)? My engine ships tomorrow, and I'm putting it on it's gear tomorrow , debating whether to hang the engine when it arrives next week, or let it sit, while I do the Pants and Fairings.

How do you fit the cowl without the engine in place. Main gear pants and fairings probably should be fitted without the wings for easy access. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick" Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2006 10:29 PM Subject: Re: RV10-List: Deperately seeking opinions - (well maybe urgently seeking ) > > Deems, > > After talking with Russ Daves he was adamant about putting them on before > you do the wings, why not prior to the engine?

Dan, You're The Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Put in three hours tonight and am back on track. Thanks a ton.. JOhn G Or by the way, the conduit that people are using, due to it being an experimental, is there any requirement. The corregated crap at PepBoys burns pretty well when the fire gets on it and stinks. The NyloFlo stuff melts but the the flame seems to self extinguish doesn't smell too bad., The Home Depot 3/4 black irragation line of which I have 500 feet of does just like the Pep Boys car stuff. Did anyone test their's with a flame The Nyla flow stuff from Do It center smells like snow skis being waxed. ________________________________ Message 59 ____________________________________ Time: 10:29:29 PM PST US From: linn Walters Subject: Re: RV10-List: wing tip lens repair Well, the best advice is to not get the sharpie on the lens where it can be seen!!! ;-) But, since you're past that, you might be able to polish it out with some toothpaste, or some paint compound from the auto parts store. It'll take some elbow grease, but refrain from using to large a grit ..... this is best done slowly.

Some thoughts: The main leg fairing orientation seems to be important for rudder trim. Everytime I cycle them off/on the rudder trim needs adjustment. I have seen this three times. Note that the attach holes in the mating intersection fairings were never modified after initial install. Another thought is during flight the main gear legs will have no weight and be positioned somewhat differently if the fairings are installed with all the weight on the legs. I have a hunch that getting the alignment perfect it is uncontrollable and only becomes important when you believe the necessary rudder trim has become excessive. The ball in my slip/skid is approx 1/4" in diameter and I needed to trim out half this diameter.
