I would agree on the WOT and the plate blocking air flow, and this is not only true on carb engines but also injected engines. The Subaru is flown wide open throttle, IE we do not set power based on throttle, rather we change the pitch of the blade to set RPM which in turn controls the engine/throttle. During take off we watch boost pressure for the turbo, but once established in a climb we use the prop and leave the throttle wide open for no restrictions. It will be very interesting to see the data start to come in for all of the different 10's. I would think we need to develop a standard spread sheet that we can publish, and just have each flyer fill in the blanks for the data. This spreadsheet should be developed by the collective so we can get what the majority wants to see and we can start graphing differences between modifications and such. Myself, I have started to look at designing a molded fairing for the wing root, that will ease the transition there and attach to the root gap fairing. I have always been interested in why some airliners have them and some don't, and have been reading a bunch about them. But still have no clue on how to determine what is needed to make one flow correctly. I also have started fairings for flap hinges.

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!

Speaking of all 49 Mainland states, the SOCAL guys and gals are planning a trip for Alaska in early July next year. With that much lead time a bunch of us 10 drivers should join in and go north together for a great family trip. I talked with Trish and the kids and they are definitely up for Alaska during the summer, what does everyone think? It is always better/ more fun to fly in a gaggle and we have been checking out a bunch of different sites on flying Alaska and there is some incredible day trips to be had once you get there. Thoughts? We could even start an annual RV10 builder/family fun trip?

Land where the Wright Brothers first flew. You can walk from the airport to the Wright Bros Memorial and the Museum there at the National Park. Landing there should be on the "To Do" list of every history-minded pilot. If for any reason you are in the Raleigh area, let me know and I'll take you to dinner and pick your brain for avionics ideas for my -10.

It's also on my list and sounds like the type of trip to take with some experienced international pilots. If my -10 isn't ready by then I'll take the 6A, or the Turbo Lance II or the Bonanza, or the Cessna 150... Ok, maybe not the 150...

Usually rainier than average. August is duck hunting season, with low fog in river areas common. June and Sept are the drier months, Sept. has much less mosquitos competing for the airspace. July and Aug are peak tourist months, highest prices and competition for motel rooms. Keep an eye on forest fire predictions as well, as that can cause IFR conditions as much as clouds. However, whenever you go, keep in mind that typical visibility under whatever ceiling exists will be 40-80 miles, except under fire smoke conditions. So low level flying following roads or rivers is safer than elsewhere, as long as power lines and the rare radio towers are avoided. Figure last frost around Memorial Day...snow drifts in mountainous areas well into June. 1st frost and or snow can arrive mid-Sept. Weather along the Alaska Highway definitely turns nasty by early-mid Oct. On 10/12/07, Deems Davis wrote: > > > Alaska!

Reason is that carburetors have a power enrichment circuit to get a rich enough full power mixture. FI engines don't need that as they match mixture to airflow very well. Also fuel is inserted at intake port rather than before the throttle. So retarding throttle to get out of the enrichment circuit helps mixture distribution on carbed engines.
