Thanks for all the responses guys. I have no shortage of ground tabs insid
e the cabin, the 24 tab block is connected to a couple of 25 pin dsubs gang
ed together and connected ala Nuckolls. I'll go with the 10 tab block on t
he engine side.
Jim - what do you use for corrosion protection of the engine side block??
cheers,
Ron

Subject: Re: RV10-List: Ground Tabs
Just a point of clarification. (However, this does go back a few years to
what I think I remember.)
A single ground point refers to the same electrical ground potential, rathe
r than physically the same point.
Having a 24 tab block on the firewall back to back with a 10 tab block on t
he engine side of the firewall should be both.
Not having ground wires go through the firewall sounds like a good thing.
However, the tab connections are more subject to the elements (corrosion) o
n the front side of the firewall and should be protected accordingly.
Regards,
Jim Ayers

On the inside of the cabin, it will depend greatly on how much
you try to pull grounds back for all circuits to use the
single-point ground to prevent ground issues. I filled up
about 48 or more tabs on mine. I think the strip from B&C
was about 5" long or so. It won't hurt to buy oversized on the
ground tab block if you have room for it.

Just installed camlocks on both the firewall as well as the cowling
sides. Fairly easy installation and with good directions. But I
installed everything prior to priming/painting so how do I get the
grommets off the cowling skins when I am ready to paint? Those grommets
are held on with a small retention washer that is installed with a
special tool (supplied with the kit). Is there another tool to remove
the washer or do you sacrifice the washer each time you have to remove
the grommett? Thanks for the help. Jay Rowe

If you are talking about the push nut, it is sacrificial. Push on, pry off..

I did that in a T-6 some years ago and it was the best flying experience of
my life. When the instructor pilot briefed me and said, "If at some point I
cannot control the aircraft, I'll say in the intercom Bail out! Bail out!
Bail out! Then you unbuckle your lap belt, slide the canopy open, climb on
the back of the wing and dive down and away, then pull the chute." I
thought, Cool!

| Subject: | Autopilot functions |
I am trying to select an appropriate autopilot for what I want to do with it. I
will be using a G530W and an SL30 Nav/Com as some of my avionics, as well as
the new high res GRT EFIS. With these components driving the autopilot is it possible
to fly a coupled VOR/ILS/LOC approach using a Digiflight II VGSV or do
I need to get one of the higher level autopilots to fly coupled Navaid based
approaches? Not sure how to interpret what I see on tru-track's website and I
haven't been able to call due to a very busy work schedule so I will defer to
the experience and knowledge of the group.

Gary,
Check with Tony or Eric at Accuracy. I know they have done panels with the Quad
and can hook you up with the lenghts or tell you who to call. I think Scott Schmidt's
is a good starting place.

Subject: RV10-List: Throttle cable lengths with throttle quad option
I am planning on the throttle quadrant and the Accuracy Avionics center console.
Is anyone else going this combination and already hooked up their engine cables?
I am approaching time to order the FF kit and would like to custom order the cables
if I need to add a couple inches to each one to make them fit correctly.
There has been some discussion about lengths due to alternate routing but I don't
remember anything including the AA center console.

Eric,
I have the Digiflight II VGSV along with a Garmin 480, SL-30 along with
the GRT Dual EFIS. The system works great on all types of approaches -
VOR/ILS/GPS. My opinion is your setup will be the most bang for the buck.
I have the 480 driving the EFIS which then drives the autopilot. You can
also drive the autopilot directly from the 480 and it was recommended to me
to have a switch to select between the sources which I haven't tried yet.

Already talked to Tony about the lengths several times. He is unsure of the exact
lengths needed. Said that the stock lengths might work but he said to ask
around.
They have my console and overhead already boxed but missed UPS's Friday pickup
so I will have mine about this next Friday.

Jeff,
I am not sure if your email was "out of the blue" or in response
to the article on the cover of the LA times California section today.
That EXACT plane made an emergency landing near seal beach yesterday
(Friday) after the engine quit while doing aerobatics over the ocean.
Now I know why they leave the wheel pants off; sand landings.
There is a brief bit of video on the LA times site but I don't
know how long it will be posted.
http://www.latimes.com/news/local/?track=leftnav-local
80% of the way down on the right (look for video = 10/18 Plane Makes
Emergency Lading on Beach).
