Ok I guess I know why there are no UK builders here, it looks like they have their
own RV Forum.

| Subject: | Elevator Balance |
I sent a note to Van's awhile back on elevator balance. When building my
RV-8A the instructions told you to trim the counterbalance weights until the
elevators were balance, as in statically balances so that the elevators stay
horizontal with no force acting on them. The weights in the RV-8A are much
larger than the RV-10.
Building the RV-10 it is obvious that to achieve this same balance requires
much larger counterbalance weights than that supplied with the kit. Van's
reply to my question about this was "the elevators will hang trailing edge
down" and that there is not need to add the weight to make them statically
balanced as in the RV-8A.
Recommend just building as per plan.

Subject: RV10-List: Elevator Balance
I am confused about the balance of the elevator. The plans say a max of
37.5 in/lbs down. Without having the elevator connected to the controls and
trim tabs not connected I measured the balance. It is about 15 in/lbs
down. So my questions are:
What is the minimum?
When should it be measured? I am assuming after all rigging is complete.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There is someone flying with the dual NACA vents, he's based out of Watsonville
CA and Bill Derouchey know home, he put me incontact with him and he reported
plenty of air even diring taxi with the NACA vents, sorry I don't remember his
name and I'm away from home for a few days.

I also spoke with the Watsonville owner before making my decision to go with the
NACA vents. He informed me that there was plenty of air flow thru the overhead
even during taxi and that if he had it to do over again he would blank out
the rear PAX side vents because the air flow is so good with the NACA vents. I
chose to leave them in to provide an assortment of places to ventilate.
My question to him was; do I need 2 NACA vents? There was no definitive answer
to that question and so I took that as a sign to put two in because I know I didnt
want to retrofit the second one in at a later date.
Patrick, the one probably obvious benefit to the NACA vents even if they dont provide
as much airflow to the console (I suspect they provide a lot more) is their
simplicity of installation and no need to build in a water drain system as
the air flow and tubing all work their way up. The rear scoop will collect water
and must be accounted for.

I put in NACA scoops on each side for the overhead console. Works good on
taxi but not flying yet. Plenty air.
