Does it allow Stronger the more you want to get there?
we had over so knots on the way out. Would be nice to get
That on the way home. Need to do the home leg in One day.
The -10's seats make that easy.

If you are interested in feeling even better about your decision to
build & fly an RV-10 just browse the November issue of AOPA Pilot
article titled "Bottom Line Four-Seaters." It details the bare minimum
products offered by Cirrus, Piper, Diamond & Cessna. In most cases they
are VFR only & fixed pitch. The biggest power plant is 200 Hp.
A brief recap:
Cirrus SR20 SRV-G2
VFR Only
$200,000
Sales 6-10 / year!
Want an Autopilot, GNS 430, Front wheel pant just add $60,000 to
$257,000
200 Hp = Highest true airspeed, 150 Kts.
Piper Archer
Built for fleet sales so if you want on you have to group your purchase
with another buyer.
$230,000 for round gauges
Want a glass cockpit just add $50K Final price $280,000
160 Hp = true airspeed, 128 Kts.
Diamond DA40-FP
G1000 panel
$246,000
Fabric interior, no wheel pants, downgraded exhaust
Again to get this price you have to "gang" your purchase with a bulk buy
180 Hp = true airspeed, 134 Kts
Cessna 172R
G1000 panel
$220,000
160 Hp = true airspeed, 122 Kts
440 lbs max payload with full fuel for a 4 seat plane. Grab your three
100 pound friends and go flying. You only weigh 140 lbs right?
I guess the only "advantage" over an RV-10 is they come fully
assembled.

Just thought I'd drop a note so some of you who've written
me in the past couple days would know why you're not getting
the quick reply.
Just got down to Vegas today with Scott in 104XP joining up after
our stop to see them in SLC. Had an awesome scenic trip down
to Vegas today and got to meet up with Wayne and Bob. It's
looking to be good time for Aviation Nation.
Had some awful headwinds on the way over, so I'm hoping
they stay good and strong for our return now going
the other direction Sunday. Should be passing the
300 hour mark early into the next leg.
Attached is a quick pic of 104XP today. Will have many more
in the up and coming trip write-up.

Personal notes: Before I signed onto the RV10, I looked into the Cirrus SR20. The
Cirrus staff showed me the SR22-G3 that they were pushing with it's mega price
tag, they all but refused to sell me an SR20. If you demand one they will
start telling you how you have to wait a year, and that it is too much of a beginner's
product. It is only for VFR and the autopilot sucks, etc, etc, etc.
I think that they keep it in the line as a transition trainer for the sales staff
and a few flight schools, but it is a phantom product. Not really available
to you or me. I doubt that even one was sold to an individual this year. They
are looking to sell the big profit planes - like the turbo.
The Archer is a good honest plane (I owned one) but 120-125 knots is its real capability.
The 172 is a slow beast but very safe.

cj, In parked at VGT but Wayne Edgerton and Scott Schmidt have their
even more beautiful -10's at Nellis on display. I'm head in' out
tomorrow a.m. so I couldn't participate. I will, however, be calling you
in a bit re: your personal email! It's been an awesome trip
so far and I can't wait to get it out on my site.
Tomorrow may be a challenge too, so that always adds to the
fun. Leave it to me to bring wind and rain to the desert. :)

| Subject: | grounding question |
What are people doing for ground wires for the nav, landing, and pitot heat?
Are you running separate wires for ground or grounding locally to the
airframe? This might be somewhat of a "primer war" question as I've heard
some say always run ground wires and others say ground locally.
Aeroelectric says local ground for "non-noisy" items is fine. Just
wondering what others have done.
If airframe what kind of hardware do you use to get a solid ground
connection? Do you use regular AN nuts bolts and washers or do you use
something like a lock washer that has more bite maybe? Do you cover the
nut/bolt with anything to slow any corrosion being that you need to clean
the primer off the metal at the point of contact?
Yes John I'll wipe the dust off the 43.13 :-)
