    Subject: Re: paint shop re. Southeast
    Go to this web address, it might be of help in your paint shop search. http://www.vansairforce.net/paint.htm I'm personally aware of Glo Custom which is at Northwest Regional airport 52F just north of Fort Worth. They do great work and currently charge around $8,000, it may have changed some but I don't think so. The problem is Grady is so good he's booked out over a year I think, so a person needs to get in the queue early on. Wayne Edgerton #40336

    Subject: Re: Electrical System Critique
    John, I have not seen much response, so I will add my 2 cents. The list is long. Much of which are things to consider. The design you have is safe and will work just fine. Just some of my thoughts. I do not see anything in the equipment list to allow GPS navigation. Are you adding a Freeflight GPS to the Chelton? You have a 30 amp battery bus feed that is longer than 6" it should have a contactor. But the contactor would not make it a battery bus. The only load that needs to be on the battery bus would be the electric ignition and maybe the dome lights. Then you can have a 10 amp battery bus. Another feed with a contactor would feed the other loads. Why the double pole switch for the e-bus feed and the standby battery switch? replace the double pole avionics master with 2 switches to eliminate the single point failure to the avionics bus and endurance bus. Do you need the transponder on the e-bus? (it is on mine also) Consider moving the pitot and to the main bus. Why a 50 amp ANL from the alternator. Change to 60 and 6awg wire. You show 43 amps max. Is that with zero diversity? I thought at one point you had 58 amps max intermittent load. Why 16awg wire to the starter on light? with a 1amp fuse you only need 22awg. Consider a fusable link in lieu of the fuse. Whose starter? I have not seen this wiring detail. Starter contactor. BNC has the diode internal, Vans does not have a diode. I am using Perihelion designs snap jacks (bi-directional zener) in lieu of the diode. The wire from the alternator to the ALT out light then goes to a 1 amp fuse/breaker on a bus. Are you using the same fat wire from the starter contactor to the starter? Consider using shotkey diodes everywhere. Low voltage drop. You have the EIS (AFS 3400) fed through diodes from both the main bus and the endurance bus. This will give you an inaccurate voltage reading. The AFS3400 has dual power feeds pin 1 & 15. This would give you voltage on the main bus & e-bus which could be nice to have. Doesn't the AFS 3400 have internal diodes to prevent drain of its internal battery? Do you want to power the pinpoint MSU & GADAHRS from both the Avionics and e-bus for some redundancy. It also has dual power inputs. Are you adding a switch on the panel for the pinpoint GADAHRS compass swing & alignment procedure (pin 16)? Any switch to activate/deactivate the functions of the co pilot stick grip (assuming some sort of grip with switches) Trim on the ebus, I would assume that is pitch trim. How about roll trim? Rudder trim? Larry Rosen #356 John Testement wrote: > I am pretty close to finalizing my electrical system and would really > like to have some knowledgeable folks give it a rigorous critique.

    someone bid 100,000 on the RV-10 (item # 180081108309) on e-bay. Check out the winner's feedback and see if you can imagine a nightmare deal in the making. It just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser.

    I have 2 very minor notes to add. 1: I'm finding my running load with landing lights is somewhere around 36A. (Not with flaps and trim moving). Just a data point. 2: As far as that pinpoint pin 16 switch, I would hide that switch behind the panel. You'll never use it once you are done calibrating, and I'm not only confused as to why some dealers think it should be there, but I think it's a bad idea. If they insist on putting it on the panel, insist on them not labeling it, so you can move it somewhere else behind the panel....then stick a switch for something else in that hole. I've not touched mine since it was calibrated.

    Subject: Re: Introduction To List - Thanks & Spreadsheet
    Hello again all, Thanks for the responses. I have tried to combine new questions and responses to others questions here to save list traffic... Research is the best part of getting ready for this...I'll bet I already have 300-400 hours and only a DVD from Vans purchased so far... Jesse-Thanks, I appreciate the advice to save on the panel at first. I'll work on trimming that to a minimal IFR platform with glass that can be grown without buying anything in panel that later gets out-ed by something else. Kelly-Thanks, the 32k already included the TruTrak digiflight-II VSGV and a Garmin 496 in the airgizmo mount. Russ-Actually, I was looking at 3 screen Horizon 1 with 2x AHRS (I'm a timid IFR pilot who likes backup). Although this is what I have spending the most time looking at recently...no matter how much I read the cross connects and interconnects in the GRT documentation, I can't get a clear picture of how it would work with: (Horizon1 GRTSport Horizon1) as you have it. Doesn't that limit the HSI from being on the 2nd screen where you want it? I'll probably have lots more questions for you to help me in this area in the coming weeks. Please tell me what is overkill and what makes sense: 3 Horizon (each with a 5H WAAS GPS) & 2 separate AHRS? I see now that you can buy a second AHRS one in the same box for only 1500. Is this any less redundant? Your panel has been one of my "mentors" :). Why did you choose the sport & the middle location instead of position #3 for the sport? Thanks. If I get 2 of the Horizon1's each with internal WAAS 5Hz GPS, I assume I have to run 2 antennas. 3 internal gps's would probably be nuts right? Jeff- I'm located in northern VA. Crazy ebay ad: Noticed the RV7 N-Number of ad posters neighbor/friend is also visible in last picture in ad: N577AZ has address near individual you listed so I think your little investigative work is correct. Attached is a spreadsheet I have spent weeks compiling (will probably spend weeks more refining). I have one set of quantities shown but would be interested in hearing others suggestions to add or subtract specific items. This as it stands indicates price > 140k and that worries me because I'm sure there is at least 10k of hidden costs as indicated by Anh and Tim. I hope this spreadsheet might be useful to someone. If others have spreadsheets / lists such as this it would help me greatly to see them. Where can I save money in this list... :) Thanks, Jim Clark ---Wishing 3 cheltons cost the same as 3 dynons...
