Congratulations from a Texan and RV-10 builder. My online buddy, Mark
Ritter told you welcome to the 50 or so flying RV-10's but according to
Van's website there are 70 or more by now.
Be sure and send in a posting with a picture to Doug Reeves to get on
his first 100 flying RV-10 page.

In response to Bill's comment that:
I have almost decided to build an RV-10, but am planning on waiting for
Oshkosh to start ... it seems a little foolish to start such a project
without ever having sat in a 10.
Well just call me foolish!!!! I wrote out a check to Van's for the
RV-10 Emp. the middle of July, 2003 and gave it to my buddy Terry Cole
(deceased RV-6A Builder) to take with him to Osh2003 and personally
deliver to Van (I had an inside contact in Oregon who let me know the
price that was going to be posted for the Emp. kit at Osh2003). At that
time the only people who had sit in a -10 were the Van's folks who had
just finished testing flying the first prototype.
Having now over 100 hours on my RV-10 and having owned 3 C-182's, a
C-177, and a Bellanca Super Viking you cannot go wrong with an RV-10.

| Subject: | Slick magneto harness question |
Mike:
I can't answer the first part of your question, but I can the second.
The Unison harnesses have a left side and right side part number
independent of the whole part number. The two sided harness part number
is probably something like a M6014. Unfortunately, you won't have much
luck finding just a left or right side harness. No distributors that
I'm aware of carry them in stock, and Unison has something like a 60 day
lead time. If you need it right away, you'll have to order a whole
harness and then use only the left hand side.
Rhonda

Subject: RV10-List: Slick magneto harness question
I have an I0540-C4B5 engine going on my RV-10 with a Slick 6393 magneto
on the left side (lightspeed ignition on the right side). I need to get
a Slick harness for the magneto. The book says I need a M2877, M6029,
or a M6027 harness.
My first question is how can you tell how long each of the wires are in
the above mentioned harnesses? Is there a chart anywhere where you can
tell the length of each wire in the harness? I looked on the Unison
(useless) web site with no luck.
My second question is that I cannot seem to find any of those harnesses
anywhere for sale (at least online). Are these old numbers and there
are newer ones that replaced it?
My last question: Does anyone else have a similar set up, and if so,
what harness are you using on the left side? Do the wires route nicely,
or are there some that are a bit longer and need to be doubled over to
get the correct length?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

First of all, congratulations! This is exciting news. Second of all, what
type of Bonanza and how much. It'll be several more years before I get my
-10 done and I've been looking for a ride until then.

Made my First flight this weekend. 6 hours now and couldn't stop flying
long enough to send this message. I fly professionally and have flown lots
of neat aircraft over the last 40 years but this thing is just plain FUN!!!!
No surprises, CHT's are higher than I like however should come down. Put
wheel fairings on after the fourth hour and picked up 14 knots indicated at
same alt and power setting. Wheel fairings did lower CHT's about 8-10*
however now I need rudder trim.

| Subject: | Battery question |
I'm thinking of going with the odyssey 680 for my battery choice. I thought
about the 925 but I live in Florida and will generally not be where it gets
meat locker cold (thin skin). Any thoughts on if this should be adequate
for me? I will more than likely have a full electric IFR panel with dual
electronic ignition.
Tim, don't you have a backup system under your seats with several smaller
batteries in series?

I had a similar situation, except I used a Bendix mag. I ordered a 1/2
harness from Skytronics, El Segundo CA, 310-322-6284 or 1-800-421-6846.
I ordered through Aircraft Spruce. They had me contact Skytronics via
phone to make sure the details were right. Cost was $98 including shipping.
I'd recommend you call Skytronics with your situation and see what they
say. If nothing else, you can run string from your spark plugs to your
mag to estimate the required length of each lead.
Interesting note on customer service... somehow Skytronics sent me a
right half harness rather than a left half harness. ACS and Skytronics
corrected the problem with no hassles, even though it was a custom job
(they had made my harness to order).

Yeah, I have a bank of 4 small 6v batteries in a series-parallel
arrangement to give 12V in a thin but long pack. I can't answer
the question on the crank between the 680 and 925, but I'm pretty
happy with the CG range and the operation of the aux battieries.
