    Jay, This may not help with the wife convincing at all. Attached is my actual costs for (almost) everything. I gave up filling this out about 6 months before getting my RV-10 in the air. I'd guess another $1000 (or $2000 or $3000) more on misc. stuff. The list is chronological, so it's a mess, but everything is in there. Totals are on the last sheet. You'll find all the big stuff listed, but it's the nickel and dime (read $100 to $200) stuff and included shipping charges that really adds up. -Jim 40134 - Completing my first annual inspection In a message dated 8/6/2007 10:44:31 P.M.

    I've been following along on this thread and am a bit confused by the references being made to "with louvers or without louvers". Can some one please clarify this or direct me to some pictures. Are these the cut-out in the bottom of the cowl?? I will not be using the van's firewall forward kit as I am using an engine and many of the accesories from Cherokee 6-260 including the oil cooler. (its the pma'd one stewart warner one). I'm planning on just buying the ff accesories I need piece wise as needed, (such as the filtered air box). Thanks for the input.

    The louvers are part of the Finish kit and get installed into the lower cowling to help dissipate heat. Some builders have been choosing to not install them, and others have installed them. They are installed from inside the cowl, and can be added at a later date if necessary, but if you do it after paint extra care will have to be taken, but definitely doable.

    Subject: Andair Fuel Valve
    Looked at the archives for some advice on which valve is the latest and greatest. SO what is the consensus these days on the model valve to go with and where is the best place to get one. Tim Olson, I think you mentioned if you did it over again you would utilize the universal joint out there no?. Is the best mount setup to use extensions and mount the valve down in the tunnel or go for right up against the tunnel cover? Looks like PN fs20x3 is the choice and have 90 deg elbow supplied by andair put on, but should I go with universal at both ends with 6inch ext.? Thanks Chris Lucas #40072 fuselage and mods (mods take time)

    Subject: Re: Andair Fuel Valve
    Chris, I'm not 100% sure what valve would be best anymore because it's been a LOOOOONG time now since I installed mine. I do think perhaps the one that has the inlets at the 45 degree forward facing positions would perhaps give better clearance than the one I used. The only clearance issue is really the rudder cable area, and mine doesn't contact it at all, but just requires some care to install well. I can tell you this though. I'm 100% satisfied with going with that Andair valve or any Andair valve. They're nice valves and I'd do it again if I built another. I'm also 100% satisfied with using a single flex line from the valve to the tank. I think that's the cat's meow for routing. As far as mounting the valve goes, if you put a swivel in it, I think I'd only put one swivel in and mount the valve low in the tunnel and put the swivel right on the valve so it's all stem to the top. I have good reason for this. The way I have the valve mounted (I don't have a swivel though) I was able to wrap the stem in UHMW tape, and run the SCAT right through the area in the top of the tunnel next to the valve. And, even if the stem touched the SCAT, the tape prevents any wear. With a valve mounted up high there, you'll have to squash and mash the SCAT tube and force it to fit, or reduce it like some people have done. Those are kind of hacked fixes IMHO, when you have the option to mount the valve low and give plenty of room for the called-for SCAT. I haven't seen the universal joint for a long time to remember how tall it was, but my only concern with adding one would be that I would want to leave at least 2 or 3" of stem at the top under the valve to give clearance for that SCAT. Other than that, adding the U-joint wouldn't be bad at all. The positive side is that with that U-Joint you can be sloppier with the valve angle and mounting, whereas I was required to have them line up fairly straight and parallel to the tunnel cover surface, and cut the stem the exact length so I could slide the stem in place, put the valve handle over it, and tighten it down. I don't have a way to lock the handle to the stem, given the install, but I worked hard to make the fit as tight as possible so there's no way once the handle is screwed down that it's coming apart. Much harder to describe than to show in person. Either way, you will want to order a 12" extension, because then you can cut one and if you end up too short you have an entire spare half to re-cut one. I don't know if the supplied elbow would be best, or if what I did would be more compact, if you use the same valve as me. I cut off the tip of the NPT threads, and used a die to cut the threads a little further so that I'd shorten that stem just another 1/16-1/8" to give a little clearance. That worked well. But if the andair 90 is more compact, I'd go with that. I couldn't get one easily when I was ordering. If you have time to get the parts though, I'd look hard at the Left/Right valve with the ports to the front on the 45's. Good luck with it. It's working out great for me so far.

    Subject: Re: Long Bolts?
    Those sound like engine mount bolts if I remember right, aren't they? I can't remember which ones off hand, but I did order an extra set at one point and I think I got them either from ACS or Wicks.

    Subject: Andair Fuel Valve
    Paul - The FS20x3 valve has a 180-degree swing between left and right tanks, and is a VERY tight fit in the -10 tunnel. The FS20x7 series fits much easier and (I think) looks nicer. Reports from folks using the 6-inch extension have been positive, few have needed universal joints (one, that I know of). If you choose to use the extension, with a little care in fitting the lower mount plate, you can forego the universal joints (about $45 each). As for sourcing, I'd recommend you go direct to Andair and order from the website. It will be faster, less expensive, and you're more likely to get exactly what you asked for. Be prepared - the exchange rate is painful... You want the FS20x7T EXT... FS = Fuel Selector 20 = Line Diameter in 0.5 mm increments (3/8" or AN6) x = male output fitting (or F for Female) 7 = valve body style (7 indicates the two-port 90-deg swing body, Left at 335-, Right at 45- and off at 180-deg) T = 90-deg male AN6 inlet fittings - more compact, fewer joints and less expensive than screwing AN6 90-deg adapters into female fittings. EXT = 6-inch extension unles you specify something else (if memory serves) Now, pay attention - The standard extension kit includes a black anodized bezel with engraving that results in "silver" lettering. If you want a "silver" (clear anodized aluminum) bezel with black and red lettered engravings, you need to specify that in the comments (or special instructions) section. neal _____ From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Paul Grimstad Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2007 8:44 PM Subject: Re: RV10-List: Andair Fuel Valve Thanks for the meaningful questions about Andair. I am standing by to hear the feed back. The linkage sound like a good idea and I recall looking a one set-up with the fuel valve canted and moved forward just below the quadrant.

SO what is the consensus these days on the model valve to go with and where is the best place to get one. Tim Olson, I think you mentioned if you did it over again you would utilize the universal joint out there no?. Is the best mount setup to use extensions and mount the valve down in the tunnel or go for right up against the tunnel cover? Looks like PN fs20x3 is the choice and have 90 deg elbow supplied by andair put on, but should I go with universal at both ends with 6inch ext.?
