Yesterday I flew our RV-10, N921AC, on it's maiden flight. Everything went
well. It was really a thrill. RV grin firmly affixed.
The only problems were an inaccurate fuel measurement (one of three methods)
and the usual rudder trim. Both easy fixes.

Has anyone had installation issues with the elevator trim access
panels? I managed to thread the access panel with trim stop nut onto
the left elevator trim cable okay, but on the right elevator there is no
way there is enough clearance for the access panel and trip stop nut to
rotate around the trim cable housing to thread on.
I thought I could maybe drill out the rivets holding the trim stop nut
onto the access panel, thread the nut on separately, and then use some
small counter-sunk screws and nuts to attach the access panel after the
fact. Any other ideas?

Subject: RV10-List: test patch - plexiglas glued to cabin top
I sent an email request to the Van's builder support asking about the
use of epoxy resin to glue the windows to the cabin. Ken Scott replied
that they simply do not know if it will work or not , but that they do
know that Weld-On 10 does work. I built a test sample by mixing west
system epoxy and adding chopped fibers to get a texture that didn't sag
under its own weight. I alcohol cleaned a strip of cabin top (it was
trimmed away for the door) and a surplus strip of side window Plexiglas.
Both strips had been scuffed thoroughly with 120 grit aluminum oxide. I
used a liberal amount of epoxy to bond the 1 inch wide strips for a 6
inch overlap. Light pressure was applied with three clothespin type
clamps. The piece cured for 24 hours at 70 degrees F and today I
performed a test of the sheer strength of the joint. The junction of
the epoxy and the Plexiglas failed when I applied some sharp raps with a
light weight ball peen hammer. I don't have subjective quantitative
val!
ues for the amount of force needed to break the joint, but the pieces
came apart way too easily for me. The junction of the epoxy and cabin
top didn't fail under extreme chisel torture. I'll do a similar test
when i get my Plexiglas glue.

I bought the after market ones, I threaded them on and then attached
them with pop rivets, I figured it was easy enough to drill them out as
needed. I was going to install nut plates, but regardless of size I
could get an easy solution. I did think of making a mounting plate for
the anchor to attach to and then put nut plates on that to attach the
cover, then decided it was just easier to pop rivet.

Dan,
Do you know if the IO-540 numbers they're posting are without fairings
as well? They should really be 10-15 Ktas faster at 14K if they're
with fairings, and that would be a cruise performance number, not a
top speed.

I just completed my final assembly and had to drill out the rivets and screw
it on. Had to do it twice, since the first time I could not adjust for the
35 degrees. The second time I used clecos to hold the plate on while I did
the adjustment and then put the rivets back on when I was done.

In my opinion there are way to many combinations on how each of us fly
and operate the engines. The are so many variables on the Lycomings it
is difficult to build a chart with every variation out there. Heck I
would even argue that the same engine moved from one plane to the next
will perform differently, that we can not define a definitive answer.
What we can provide however is generalities to performance numbers, will
any one way we present the numbers meet everyone's perceived needs? No,
but what it will do is give something to compare to.
With that being said Tim did us a great service in creating his website
and it has a page specifically for performance numbers, and while
everyone talks about how important these comparisons are, only two
people out of over 100 have chosen to provide that information. The
information posted on the Eggenfellner site was taken from those two
reports, and is preliminary at best. We have made several changes to the
engine since that data was posted, so it is already out of date and will
need to be changed, but conversely there is a much larger pool of
Lycomings to pull the stat's from, but no one is taking the time to fill
out the data and have Tim post it.
I for one will be traveling up to Tim's so we can fly the planes in like
conditions and we will post the data, but that still will only be one
Lycoming compared to one Subaru, and that is not statistically
significant, but if we all work together as a team and collect the
required data we can only make it better for all of us that follow.
There are enough RV10's flying that we should have a good baseline for
comparison, and as soon as Jan ships this engine batch there will be at
least 10 more Subaru's quickly flying that we can start comparing to, I
also know of at least two rotary's and two V-8's in late construction so
we will have those numbers too.
But until WE all take the time to gather the data we are all just making
conjecture. Lets collect the data and make it visible to all so they can
use it for comparison.

If you want to save a couple bucks on the MB antenna, you can strip a 40" section
of RG58 or similar so that the center conductor is exposed. MB's are so
tightly focused lot's of old timers say you can pick it up with a coat hanger
sticking out the back of the receiver and in some cases with nothing. Somewhere
in my logs I wrote up some stuff on it but can't remember what section anymore.

My configuration is similar to yours except I went with the Bob Archer

Put my 1 GA-35 on the top right behind the baggage bulkhead. When I rolled

Dear 10-List,
It's time to select my antennas and place them on the plane. Here is
my minimum list of antenna:
Recap
~$ Location
CI-122 Comm $140.00 Belly
CI-122 Comm $140.00 Belly
CI-105 Transp. $100.00 Belly
CI-102 Marker $100.00 Belly
Archer #1 VOR
$85.00 Internal Win Tip
Archer #1 VOR $85.00
Internal Win Tip
GPS GA-35 GPS $350.00 Canopy
Top
GPS GA-35 GPS $350.00 Canopy
Top
XM Antenna Included Canopy
Top
Geeez, Can you hear me now?
The XM Antenna is included with the purchase of my Garmin GDL-69a
receiver.
I am thinking of replacing 1 GA-35 GPS antenna and the XM antenna
and buying a combo GPS/XM antenna from Comant (CI 401-460
http://www.comant.com/pdfs/CI_401-460.pdf ) They offer a couple of different
models so when Tech Support calls me back I can get their best
recommendation. This will eliminate one bump/penetration on my canopy.
Regarding location I reviewed the archives and Tim's Antenna page
including Comant's suggested antenna location:
http://www.myrv10.com/files/antennas/comant/Comant_Suggested_Antenna_Locatio
ns.pdf
My current plan is to place the antennas in these locations:
Shark Blade just aft of the exhaust outlet
Marker Beacon basically between the main gear or aft of the rear bulkhead
2 Comm side by side aft of the main gear but forward of the step
Archer VOR in each wing tip
2 GPS plus 1 XM in tandem on top of canopy around where the rear window ends
OR
1 GPS & 1 GPS/XM antenna in tandem on top of canopy around where the rear
window ends
I see Tim has one GPS antenna near the rear bulkhead and one just behind the
windscreen. Tim also has his marker antenna aft of the bulkhead and the Comm
antenna side by side in the location I am proposing.
Other than seeing if I can get Tim to finish my plane...Can I get any
comments on my antenna selection and placement?
Thanks in advance,
Robin

Thanks Michael,
Yes after I sent the request I decided on a single Archer 1 and
was debating on the RG58 vs. the CI-102 Marker Antenna. I don't mind
removing one more item form the slipstream.
Michael are you good with my proposed location for the Comm
antenna? My Comms should be plenty powerful with dual 16 Watt
transceivers.
If I really wanted to save money on antennas I would call Garmin
and complain that their $60,000+ G900X should come with GPS antennas.
Every other GPS they make (as far as I know) come with an antenna, why
not the G900X?
Thanks,
Robin

Weird that DUATS doesn't and DUAT does. I didn't have good luck
filing a couple times with Golden Eagle (DUATS), but today I filed
with Voyager (DUAT) and it took it right away and within an hour
I was in air picking up a clearance to Atlanta. I filed as RV10/G.
Pretty nice day. I flew LOP for a while at 9K, and then took a
brief stint at ROP. I gained an easy 10kts over my LOP flight
phase, but it sure changes the range....so a couple minutes I was
kicked back again in the low 160's with flows around 10gph.

| Subject: | Re: Dan's H6Turbo numbers) |
Hear Hear! You're right...we need more data! My own numbers are
just numbers I usually gather from trips, and I fly LOP almost
all the trips. I pay a price and today I saw that at that particular
temp/pressure/altitude I paid a price of about 10KTs for a huge
savings in fuel. My numbers will ALWAYS be slow in comparison to
most people's, because that's the way I cruise. I'd rather have
well over 1000nm range at 162-4 kts than 600-800 at 170-4 kts, so
I do what I do. I very rarely have the throttle all the way
forward, other than during climb. In fact, in cruise, one of
the first things do is pull back the throttle until I knock
about .2" of MAP off the WOT setting. I've heard in the past
especially with carb engines that the throttle plate can have
an effect on the mixture distribution, and it can be smoother
if you pull it back a little. I found this true on my old
plane, and it may be just psychological but it seems true
on this one. So I pull it back just a tad from WOT, and then
set the prop and mixture.
Anyway, as long as someone does 2 things, I'm happy to post numbers.
1 is you absolutely MUST have done a 4 way gps calibration so you
know how far off your TAS is from actual. 2 is that you try to
fill in most of the blanks. Given those 2 things, I think we
can have a really good performance representation for all.
Thanks for bringing it up Dan!

| Subject: | Trim access plate install |
Just as the other responses I've opted for pop rivets and have had to drill
them out to remove the elevator. Hopefully it's for the last time as the
bird is in the paint shop. One consideration, although I'm not convinced it
will work, is to tap the holes for screws if you have the aftermarket
versions. They are great and I wonder if there's enough material to make
that work since they are a little thicker.
Just a thought, I don't have access to the airplane right now to validate
it.

Subject: RV10-List: Trim access plate install
Has anyone had installation issues with the elevator trim access panels? I
managed to thread the access panel with trim stop nut onto the left elevator
trim cable okay, but on the right elevator there is no way there is enough
clearance for the access panel and trip stop nut to rotate around the trim
cable housing to thread on.
I thought I could maybe drill out the rivets holding the trim stop nut onto
the access panel, thread the nut on separately, and then use some small
counter-sunk screws and nuts to attach the access panel after the fact. Any
other ideas?

Rob,
Did the drawing get deleted? I am not seeing it or any link. Very interested
in seeing it as we talked a couple days ago about all of this.

Could anyone please tell me if they have installed (or intend
installing) the 'V' type VOR antenna for mounting on their vertical
stabiliser?
