    All of Bob K.'s 300 hours 375 landings are NOT in his mind. Only about 295/365. Unlike a lot of builders Bob K. has actual RV-10 stick time, including a cross country from Vegas to El Paso and flying a 3 ship formation with two other RV-10's. How soon one forgets!!!

Bob K Do not archive All of those hours and landings are in my mind of course. 91/09 and counting

    In 180 hours I have almost 0 tire wear. Build it per plans and you will be fine. Randy 40006 -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of David McNeill Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2007 11:11 AM Subject: RV10-List: Flying RV10 tire wear For flying 10s how is the tire wear? If you could supply indicated tire wear and total time/approx. number of landings between tire changes it would be helpful. When building my Glastar we followed the book procedure for toe in and it caused toe in of 3 degrees per wheel which caused significant uneven tire wear. We were able to fix this by rotating the gear legs slightly and up sizing the gear retainer bolt. I know that the toe in on the 10 is a given but it can be changed if the tires are wearing rapidly. That's the reason for the question. Anyone with significant wear can email me off line and supply a phone number to talk.

    Jim, I to sure hope someone takes you up on your offer soon. I am 12 months out from being able to offer my -10 for testing but I am "just up the street" from you at SBP. There is a builder getting close in SMX but I am not sure he is using the Hartzell BA prop. There is also a builder in SBP that is 4-5 months out. I wonder if he would be interested? Yoo hoo; Jearl? It's nice to have this wave of -10's about to hit the run up area.

    Subject: Re: MT 3 blade propeller available for flight testing
    I made two different offers. The first offer is to simply to be able to try the MT 3 blade propeller. The second separate offer is to get some flight test data. Very few pilots have any interest in doing this at all. Probably something about flying at a specific DENSITY altitude (which is usually a strange station pressure altitude; i.e. NOT at x thousand feet plus 500). Besides being very exacting, tedious and boring flying. Regards, Jim Ayers In a message dated 05/07/2007 5:31:49 A.M.

    Subject: Re: MT 3 blade propeller available for flight testing
    One interesting thing about buying an MT is clearing customs. I bought mine from Jim at Less Drag, great guy and delivered right on time as promised. It is a pretty thing of mechanical beauty. He started this thread about trying an MT prop. Mine came fully assembled from Germany to the Fedex international terrminal here in Las Vegas. Jim told me there would be a fee to bail the prop out of customs and he was pretty close 150 to 200 dollars. I assumed it was for import duty fee...HA!!!! When I went to customs I was greeted by the biggest A**hole I ever ran into in government service who told me he wasn't gpoing to deal with me directly I had to hire a broker...WTF is a broker? So he gives me a little "referal" sheet to pick one from (read kickback here). I find the closest one to the airport give tham a call and head over...sign a contract and limited power of attorney and give them my credit card. Two hours later my card is charged $230 for this company to take the same paperwork I gave them over to the same jerk in customs for him to stamp and inspect the item if he likes, which he didn't and release my prop from Fedex. FWIW for personal use items there is no duty to pay. The broker made $230 for an hours work because the three guys in the customs office are too lazy to go over to Fedex...1/2 mile away and inspect the property which they didn't even do!!! Your mighty tax dollars at work...or not at work...what's next user fees!!! Rick S. 40185

    Unless the screen is different from the D180 (which I doubt), the viewing angle should be just fine. The AOA bar would be very useable even from that side (requiring the AOA pitot, of course) with the new format they have in their new software coming out soon.

    I contacted them a while back to inquire about using it with the hartzell that Van's sells and they said it would not work. The hartzell uses a back plate aft of the propeller and their 14" spinner is designed to with a mounting plate in front of the propeller. -Ben -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of PJ Seipel Sent: Monday, May 07, 2007 2:43 PM Subject: Re: RV10-List:14" Spinner - was James Cowling Anyone looked at the UHS fiberglass spinners that Aircraft Spruce sells? http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/uhs.php Looks like they have a 14" spinner.

    Subject: Tru-Trak pitch servo
    Quick question for those with the pitch servos from Tru Trak for the -10. Is the hole in the elevator bellcrank sized for an AN-3 bolt? Plans on Tru Trak site give a hole size of .200 if I'm reading it correctly. Doesn't make much sense. Want to drill hole now while installing elevators but don't have the servo yet....john John Hasbrouck #40264

    Size should be 10 or 11 for the AN3. Also be advised that the hole should be .25" aft of specified location for use of the torque enhancer. Also the pitch reversal loop in the programmer connector should be in place. I would call TT. 479-751-0250. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of John Hasbrouck Sent: Monday, May 07, 2007 6:50 PM Subject: RV10-List: Tru-Trak pitch servo Quick question for those with the pitch servos from Tru Trak for the -10.

    My recommendation is to save your money ... on all of them. If, for some reason, you really need one ...... well, I'd use the money to help fix the problem, not cover it up. If you're still hell-bent on owning (and using) one, then direct the 'recovered' mess ino a can that you can empty. Do not return it to the engine for any reason.
