    Subject: Re: Trim troubles
    It seems to me that the two problems with the stock RV10 trim that Tim outlines should be able to be solved with less expense than a whole new system (no offence Tim). The resister that William Curtis suggested solves one of them (speed), can anyone of you electronics guys design a time out circuit that we could build and add to our Ray Allen system? William, what value of resister are you starting with to test the system?

That is; if you will be installing a relay deck, replacing the provided DPDT rocker switch with a momentary SPDT switch, simplifies the wiring greatly. I built my own relay deck and incorporated a simple two-speed (Normal/Cruise) switch.

What function do you want to 'time out' (incremental trim???), how long is the time (,25 second??), and what presently controls that function (switch???)??? I have no clue (I'm not there yet) what the actual functionality of the servo is. Does it run too fast (the resistor mod) or coast past the wanted position???? What's the basic complaint???

    It's time to pray for a family of one of our own. Dan Lloyd crashed and was killed in his RV-10 this morning. HIS WIFE AND KIDS WERE NOT IN THE PLANE, so breathe your sigh of relief on that point right now. They were to go for a flight in the next hour. The plane is destroyed and Dan was killed, however. This is the only link I have at this time: http://www.sharon-herald.com/ Focus your prayers on the family, as they poured themselves into this project, and they will need all the support they can get. This is the first known fatal in an RV-10, and it's a very sad day for us all, especially as it involved an long-time building friend. -- Tim Olson - RV-10 N104CD - Flying

    Dan's loss affects me greatly, as we were both building -10's with the same engine.

    It is with a heavy heart that too received multiple phone calls and took word of our loss of Dan Lloyd and his wonderful RV-10 as I departed from work this morning. I too am so thankful his family was not aboard. I can only pray for the family in this unfortunate time and look back fondly at his smile and pride during Mike Sausen's picnic this summer back in Oshkosh, as we all toasted his accomplishments and plans for the future. Build safe, Fly wise, seek more training, live long and remember the best of Dan Lloyd and his gregarious and wonderful personality. Our family is much to small not to appreciate his contributions.

    This hit me like a ton of bricks. Dan - was my friend, (I suspect everyone who met him felt that way). He was full of enthusiasm and encouragement. I owed him a Sundae for not being ready for Copperstate. My last e-mail from him, forgave the debt and committed us to buy each other sundaes to honor the completions on his planned trip out West. I miss you Dan. Fly high. Deems

    Thanks to all on list and off list that have helped me with the Andair Fuel Valve acquisition. I have a valve which I will use. I would like to use a 6" extension if I can get one easily. If anyone has a Andair Fuel Selector Extension kit you'd like to sell, please contact me. Current status and findings: After much back and forth and some cancelled orders to Andair, I bought a unit from Vans: Part Number: FUEL VALVE FS 20X7T Quantity: 1 Unit Price: 205.00 Part Number: F SWIVEL TEE Quantity: 1 Unit Price: 19.50 The 20X7T seems to me to be the best configuration whether you use or extension or not. Vans said they still had a couple of dozen. The price is right given current exchange rates with a savings of +$100 over ordering direct from Andair. That difference is going to filter thru to Van's inventory at some point so I'd go buy one if in the market. The swivel T seems to be the optimal accessory for a fuel injected 540 installation. The feeds from the tank are on elbows but the total cross section is considerably less than using regular AN elbows threaded into the valve body. I feel I can use this valve pretty easily with or without an extension. I'll post a photo once installed. Thanks to all the others who posted photos - invaluable!

    From: "nick@nleonard.com" <nick@nleonard.com>
    The switches are readily available at McMaster-Carr (McMaster.com), which is a great store to work with and they have an incredible inventory. I just got the 6791T13 which has the plastic toggle switch. The 6791T11 and 6791T12 have the metal switches. I was hoping that the plastic switch would look more like the 'standard' electrical "bat" switch. It is similar but the handle is slightly narrower and longer. It will still look good in the panel but will need to be placed out of the way so it isn't accidentally switched on (open). These are a very cool solution for an alternate static switch and reasonably priced. -------- Nick Leonard RV-10 (40015) Finish Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=143404#143404

    A ton of bricks is right.

My last e-mail from him, forgave the debt and committed us to buy each other sundaes to honor the completions on his planned trip out West. I miss you Dan. Fly high. Deems

    I met Dan at Osh this year and it was like meeting an old friend. I talked to him on the phone many times since and he was always eager to share information and give me encouragement. I liked kidding him about his paint job. I will miss him. I will certainly be praying for his family.

    Never met Dan, never talked to him, but he was a part of an extended family that we've become. This just hits in the pit of your stomach. We have all been holding our collective breaths, I believe, that this email message would eventually be delivered, hoping it would be delayed for a long, long time, and perhaps never come. I am so sorry it was Dan; that it would be any one of us. Two things that come to mind. Tomorrow, I'm going to go fly. I'm going to get up into that wonderful sky and I'm going to say my prayer for Dan and his family there, where the words belong. Second, I ask someone here who knew Dan and his family, and who might gently enquire as to where I can send a donation, to let me know. You can do it offline or let the list know. We are having the NW RV-10 Fall dinner soon, and we will take a moment at that time to wish Dan God Speed, as well. John Jessen

    Dan was going to stop by sometime so that I could look at his plane. I have this terrible thought that "If I didn't ask him, maybe it wouldn't have happened..." Kinda silly, but can't shake the feeling. This is the second friend of mine who has died in a crash. The first one was on a first flight around 1995. It spooked me a bit...

    This is a truly sad day for our family. Part of me knew it was inevitable and part of me cannot believe that we have lost one of our fellow builders. I can't imagine what it could be like for Dan's family. The pursuit that brought him so much joy and then this. I can only hope that he had totally experienced the thrill of accomplishment and creating his dream before moving on. Our prayers go out to his family and all of those who feel the loss.

    Subject: Re: Pray for Dan's family
    I too am saddened by the loss of Dan. I don't think I ever met him, but like many others I felt I knew him. He was part of our extended family. So, to remember Dan, I went through my archives and read many of his posts. He sure did contribute and help many of us. So as a tribute, below are a collection of his emails. *To start off, here is is last post to the list, from yesterday:* On mine the cups went up about halfway, and the springs really had to be compressed to fit at all. I made the angle spacers, and tried to screw everything together repeatedly before I finally figured out how to get it all to work. The easy way to do it, is to put all three through the face plate and set it on the bench, put springs on the screws, backing plate on, and compress the springs until they just seat in the nut plates. Then this is the hard part, slide the whole assembly to the side of the bench and as one screw is exposed get a screwdriver on it and hold the pressure. Do this for each of the three and it works. The hard part is then getting the angle spacers to line up, but work with it. Dan N289DT RV10E Flying *Did anyone at OSH this year take Dan up on use of his wife's Expedition:* We will have our Expedition, and will be happy to coordinate picking your stuff up and moving it back and forth for you. Dan The RV10 is large, but it does not have a trailer hitch, and the pop-up is too big to fit into the baggage area, so because we will be there the whole week my wife offered to drive up and meet us there. I SHOULD be there with the RV10E and the Expedition. Dan Keep in mind I am a glutinous American, so why only take one, I will be taking both the RV10E and the Expedition, it is my right to burn as much fuel as possible on a trip! Dan Maintenance crew, now you are funny, it is to carry the cotton baby diapers to wipe off all the drool and fingerprints everyone will be putting on it! Dan *Dan sure did love his RV-10 Here's one from transition training, which was his first flight in the 10* Hey guys, I have spent the past day out in Oregon with Mike Seager and flying the factory 10. I now have 3 hours in type and 15 landings. I have two more days to fly with him and try and get my mind wrapped around this fast bird. I know many of you have 4/6/7/8 time, and the 10 is not the same, but all I can say is WOOHOO! Put the throttle in and it instantly leaps in the air, blink and we are passing through 2k ft. We flew North and trued out over 200MPH, did I say this plane is incredible?? 2.5 years and I am in the home stretch, and I can not wait to fly my own, and finally report my first flight. I know it sounds funny, but we chose to build the 10 without ever having been in one, and all of expectations have been met and exceeded. For those of you in the same boat as myself, 150 hrs in SPAM cans, I can not stress the value of transition training and spending the time necessary to get used to these planes. Things are happening so fast that it is difficult at first, but after several hours with Mike I am starting to feel that with a couple hundred more I might make an RV pilot. One thing that I find very funny is that I have heard about P-factor and the need for right rudder, and thought I knew about it, but the first time you put the throttle to 260 HP you quickly realize what you had no clue about!!! Get the transition training so you are ready. While I have been out here I have met a couple of the guys and toured Vans factory, too cool to say the least. But other than flying the 10, the most memorable part of the trip is the hospitality of Ed Hayden, he helped me around town, and took an afternoon to show me his project. What a plane, all the bell's and whistles and then some! I can not wait to reciprocate when he comes to town. It is the builder community that makes this so much fun and Ed is a pillar of the community making us feel welcome! THX Dan Lloyd N289DT RV10E Finally I can say finishing up!!! ...BUT with everything being said about costs, planning and such, lets keep in the perspective that there is not a better feeling than the first time you take off in a plane you built in your garage, it makes everything else a mute point. No matter what you have to do, collect aluminum cans if you have to! Build one and fly it, it is definitely worth the heartache and frustration along the way! Dan N289DT RV10E flying *Dan encoring us on:* Congrats Tom, and we look forward to hearing about your progress. If you want to have your wife talk to Trish feel free to call and they can brainstorm on how each team member can participate. Each of our kids got to sign the inside of every structure they worked on, with name, date and age. Even the younger kids can participate by handing tools, sorting pieces etc. Give us a call, and I would be happy to fly up and give you guys some motivational rides and get everyone excited about the adventure ahead! Dan N289DT RV10E Flying *Here's one for you Deems:* Hang in there Deems, you are getting close! After 10.6 hours and 68 landings logged, I can say this plane is worth it. It will be everything you wanted and more. Now I just need to get home and git'r'done too. I heard you were coming up to the dinner in a couple of weeks, make sure to get Randy and others to give you a ride for motivation. This is when you need it most to get you over the hump! Dan "starting the up hill push to finish" N289DT RV10E *and the last one, Dan asking us to be safe:* You need to be careful on this, allot of people follow this list and read your recommendations on both safety of flight issues, as well as equipage for IFR, but they do not know you do not have a pilots license and do not have any IMC time, to make this type of comment could lead allot of low time pilots to believe that they can get by without training. When I got the transition training from Mike and let him review your comment he stated that even he, as the pilot with the "most RV time around" would not get into a new plane and fly when/if there is transition training available, even he would take several hours and learn the intricacies of the new plane. I can not stress the value of transition training enough, regardless of how much time you have, this is why most insurance agencies will not insure without dual time. We do not want to end up like the Lancair guys and have our insurance so high it is unaffordable. We are building plans valued north of $100k and in the scheme of things transition training is a very low cost item to help ensure a successful first flight. Dan Lloyd N289DT RV10E *Godspeed Dan!* Larry Rosen RV-10 #356 N205EN (reserved)

    First of all I would like to say that I was fortunate to meet Dan in person last year at Oshkosh and we are all lesser for this loss.

    Subject: Dan Lloyd - Greenville, PA
    This is truly the most sad news I have heard since I started my project. It is a tragedy in every way. Dan contributed hugely to this list which has been instrumental to countless RV-10's. It is at least nice to know that a little bit of Dan will live on in many RV-10s where the builders have applied something from his experiences. Mine is certainly in that list. I am sure that when mine is flying, he will be in my thoughts often. I wish his family all the support they need to get through this extremely difficult time as best they may. They will all be in my prayers.

    I am shocked, saddened and join all of you in prayers for Dan and his family. We exchanged a few emails as late as last evening. Dan was an active member of the large Ohio Valley RVators group. They have been in contact with Trish and I am sure Rick Gray will keep us informed. Dan will be missed.

    Larry - what a wonderful tribute to Dan's perpetual spirit. I can still remember his big smile, the pride of completion and the times we shared discussing mods to make this kit even better for many. Here are two pictures which capture just a glimpse (for those who missed out). I even found postings that we shared below the radar screen on the use of Solidworks. He was always willing to discuss, to share and to dream together. He could often be found in a "Flying High Sky" blue or "Arrest Me for Dreaming" red t-shirt. <<Dan and his plane.pdf>> "Hiding with pride behind the VANS tent" "Lloyd, Daniel R." <lloyddr@wernerco.com> wrote: I have this scanned at work full size, I also have the engineers upstairs putting together a Solid Works model of it, so we can wrap custom skins on it, then you will be able to see what your paint job will look like. I traded flight hours for their lunch time to create it, I will post it when it is done for all to use. Also we have an artist that will render it for you in a custom setting. If anyone wants the full-size drawing in PDF, I would be happy to send it, you can then take it down to Kinko's and make posters to your hearts desire. Bio: 34, IT Manager for Werner Ladder, PP-SEL, Instrument Student, 150 Hours TT, Cherokee Driver, till 10 is done. Based in Hermitage, PA. It is on the Ohio Border, 1 hour North of PITT. Have 2 Kids, 11 and 6, not adding any more, (they do not make a larger kit plane!) Finishing Emp/Cone, have wings ready to start. I agree with Tim, seems like a lot of geeks are into plane building, maybe we like the many hours of alone time in the garage? What do you need on solid works? We use it here at Werner and have 20 seats. Let me know Dan I also agree with what is here. I am looking at an alternative engine, and am very interested in exploring this avenue. Things that would motivate me are test cell running to prove TBO, and number of Aircraft installed on, I realize to break into the market place you would need Beta testers, I am willing to do that beta testing, but would be have to be at manufactures expense. If I am willing to use my airframe, the least they could do is provide the engine for testing/ proof of concept. Dan 40269 <<Dan and the gang.pdf>> "Sharing in the group builder discussions at Camp Condrey - OSH '07" I will continue to cling to the memory of his infectious smile as we talked confidentially of renegade builders, unusual techniques and bold ideas for many product improvements. He was my idea of a REAL Experimental/Amateur Aircraft Builder with passion in his every breath and the desire to make another step to "Living the Dream". John Cox - KUAO (#40600) I am forever making November 1st - Dan Lloyd Day I too am saddened by the loss of Dan. I don't think I ever met him, but like many others I felt I knew him. He was part of our extended family. So, to remember Dan, I went through my archives and read many of his posts. He sure did contribute and help many of us. So as a tribute, below are a collection of his emails. *To start off, here is is last post to the list, from yesterday:* On mine the cups went up about halfway, and the springs really had to be compressed to fit at all. I made the angle spacers, and tried to screw everything together repeatedly before I finally figured out how to get it all to work. The easy way to do it, is to put all three through the face plate and set it on the bench, put springs on the screws, backing plate on, and compress the springs until they just seat in the nut plates. Then this is the hard part, slide the whole assembly to the side of the bench and as one screw is exposed get a screwdriver on it and hold the pressure. Do this for each of the three and it works. The hard part is then getting the angle spacers to line up, but work with it. Dan N289DT RV10E Flying *Did anyone at OSH this year take Dan up on use of his wife's Expedition:* We will have our Expedition, and will be happy to coordinate picking your stuff up and moving it back and forth for you. Dan The RV10 is large, but it does not have a trailer hitch, and the pop-up is too big to fit into the baggage area, so because we will be there the whole week my wife offered to drive up and meet us there. I SHOULD be there with the RV10E and the Expedition. Dan Keep in mind I am a glutinous American, so why only take one, I will be taking both the RV10E and the Expedition, it is my right to burn as much fuel as possible on a trip! Dan Maintenance crew, now you are funny, it is to carry the cotton baby diapers to wipe off all the drool and fingerprints everyone will be putting on it! Dan *Dan sure did love his RV-10 Here's one from transition training, which was his first flight in the 10* Hey guys, I have spent the past day out in Oregon with Mike Seager and flying the factory 10. I now have 3 hours in type and 15 landings. I have two more days to fly with him and try and get my mind wrapped around this fast bird. I know many of you have 4/6/7/8 time, and the 10 is not the same, but all I can say is WOOHOO! Put the throttle in and it instantly leaps in the air, blink and we are passing through 2k ft. We flew North and trued out over 200MPH, did I say this plane is incredible?? 2.5 years and I am in the home stretch, and I can not wait to fly my own, and finally report my first flight. I know it sounds funny, but we chose to build the 10 without ever having been in one, and all of expectations have been met and exceeded. For those of you in the same boat as myself, 150 hrs in SPAM cans, I can not stress the value of transition training and spending the time necessary to get used to these planes. Things are happening so fast that it is difficult at first, but after several hours with Mike I am starting to feel that with a couple hundred more I might make an RV pilot. One thing that I find very funny is that I have heard about P-factor and the need for right rudder, and thought I knew about it, but the first time you put the throttle to 260 HP you quickly realize what you had no clue about!!! Get the transition training so you are ready. While I have been out here I have met a couple of the guys and toured Vans factory, too cool to say the least. But other than flying the 10, the most memorable part of the trip is the hospitality of Ed Hayden, he helped me around town, and took an afternoon to show me his project. What a plane, all the bell's and whistles and then some! I can not wait to reciprocate when he comes to town. It is the builder community that makes this so much fun and Ed is a pillar of the community making us feel welcome! THX Dan Lloyd N289DT RV10E Finally I can say finishing up!!! ...BUT with everything being said about costs, planning and such, lets keep in the perspective that there is not a better feeling than the first time you take off in a plane you built in your garage, it makes everything else a mute point. No matter what you have to do, collect aluminum cans if you have to! Build one and fly it, it is definitely worth the heartache and frustration along the way! Dan N289DT RV10E flying *Dan encoring us on:* Congrats Tom, and we look forward to hearing about your progress. If you want to have your wife talk to Trish feel free to call and they can brainstorm on how each team member can participate. Each of our kids got to sign the inside of every structure they worked on, with name, date and age. Even the younger kids can participate by handing tools, sorting pieces etc. Give us a call, and I would be happy to fly up and give you guys some motivational rides and get everyone excited about the adventure ahead! Dan N289DT RV10E Flying *Here's one for you Deems:* Hang in there Deems, you are getting close! After 10.6 hours and 68 landings logged, I can say this plane is worth it. It will be everything you wanted and more. Now I just need to get home and git'r'done too. I heard you were coming up to the dinner in a couple of weeks, make sure to get Randy and others to give you a ride for motivation. This is when you need it most to get you over the hump! Dan "starting the up hill push to finish" N289DT RV10E *and the last one, Dan asking us to be safe:* You need to be careful on this, allot of people follow this list and read your recommendations on both safety of flight issues, as well as equipage for IFR, but they do not know you do not have a pilots license and do not have any IMC time, to make this type of comment could lead allot of low time pilots to believe that they can get by without training. When I got the transition training from Mike and let him review your comment he stated that even he, as the pilot with the "most RV time around" would not get into a new plane and fly when/if there is transition training available, even he would take several hours and learn the intricacies of the new plane. I can not stress the value of transition training enough, regardless of how much time you have, this is why most insurance agencies will not insure without dual time. We do not want to end up like the Lancair guys and have our insurance so high it is unaffordable. We are building plans valued north of $100k and in the scheme of things transition training is a very low cost item to help ensure a successful first flight. Dan Lloyd N289DT RV10E *Godspeed Dan!* Larry Rosen RV-10 #356 N205EN (reserved)

    Both my son and I took Dan up on his offer. He was gracious enough to offer us a ride to Michael Sausen's house at OSH. While I met Dan and his family the week before in Greenville as he was finishing his RV-10, we got to know the family better on the hour drive to Michael's. His last email to me on Wednesday was: "I would definitely knock out the fiberglass as you go, I waited to the end and was so fed up with it that I got bummed out and am still avoiding the tail. One thing to make sure of, that I saw during Rick's build and mine is that the Elevator horn fairings do not line up well and require work on the trailing edge, so fix these by cutting them flush on the trailing edge and feathering in and taping the line all the way around. I saw how Rick did it and will do the same on mine. I do not like that transition between the fairing and the elevator, so I am going to hide it " Our prayers are with Dan and his family. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Larry Rosen Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 6:02 PM Subject: Re: RV10-List: Pray for Dan's family *Did anyone at OSH this year take Dan up on use of his wife's Expedition:* We will have our Expedition, and will be happy to coordinate picking your stuff up and moving it back and forth for you.
