    Subject: Re: Engine Choices (Taxi Testing New Engine)
    In Missouri, we have a mandate that ALL gasoline sold must contain at least 10% ethanol beginning Jan. 1, 2009. However, at least it looks like someone had good sense to exempt aircraft from the bill, see: http://www.house.mo.gov/bills061/bilsum/commit/sHB1270C.htm Then again, if the fuel trucks are carrying blended fuel, won't that contaminate straight MOGAS destined for the local airports? Or are the fuel vendors going to have to use separate trucks to deliver MOGAS to airports same as they do now for Avgas? I don't think so. The supply of "clean" MOGAS at Missouri airports will dry up. My local airport has a pump and tank for 87 MOGAS. Kevin Hovis.

    The -10 does not have the gap. There is an angle that rivets onto the side of the fuse that the fairing screws onto, so it is a flush fit with no gap for a seal.

    Subject: Re: Static Line Routing
    Thanks for the insight. I've taken a similar yet slightly different route. I agree that the Van's pre-wiring kit is great. I took the approach of getting the plans for it without the kit so I could adapt it to a dual batt, dual alternator, split bus design. Then ordering the parts I needed separately. Some parts I didn't use - some I ordered multiples of. I used that basic left side run of wires from the batteries to the firewall and duplicated the clamps, brackets and routing on the left side tool. Having to make so many electrical decisions before closing the floor seems like a pain but I bit the bullet and tried to put a plan in place for all systems that require front to back wire runs. I've now filled both left and right cable paths with cable. I've added 2 conduits to enable future wire runs be for now they are empty. It now dawns on me that while it would be nice to wait a while before being forced to run cables, there is a benefit to getting the bulk of that done before added the fiberglass top and stuff. But nut plates would be great. AirMike wrote: > > Myself and several other West Coast builders are running it along the right (co-pilot) side. From what I have seen, most of us are running either 4 or 5 conduits from the rear to the front. Two or three along each side with the static line along the right side. The plans really force you to do this "pre-wiring" work before you are really ready. You will probably need to cut a few holes. I went and bought the Van's pre-wiring kit which is really a pretty good deal. The wiring is all pre-measured and is really a good value for the electronic micro-cephalic. > > I find that one of my three complaints about the great RV10 plans are : > > 1. the baggage and rear seat floors should be nut plated for work, electrical installation, and inspections > 2. the finish quality of the fiberglass cabin top/ doors - the quality of the product is poor > 3.

    I was thinking of using the rubber F-1094C gap seal used under the horizontal stab to provide a tighter fit and add some flexibility. Should also provide a nice clean look and a ~small gap fairing benefit. F-1094C is not on "the list" however so will have to call Van's for pricing on required length.

    Subject: Re: Engine Choices (Taxi Testing New Engine)
    You're right. I'm afraid delivering straight MOGAS (no ethanol) will end up in the same boat, only a few suppliers willing to dedicate a truck or two to deliver to the few airports who sell MOGAS (as compared to the ethanol-gas delivered to the thousands of filling stations). The price could end up the same as Avgas. But at least premium gasoline in Missouri won't be required to have ethanol. You'll probably have to ask to see if the premium in the tanks at the filling station does or doesn't have ethanol. Think the $5 an hour clerk will know??? Kevin H.

    That will be interesting. I wish Van would have made the flap 1 foot shorter and then made the wing extend all the way back to the step.

    Subject: unused F-1003A instrument panel blank
    From: "William Curtis" <wcurtis@nerv10.com>
    Anyone have an F-1003A instrument panel that they will not be using that they would like to sell? I'm looking to have the stock panel waterjet cut by the folks at experimental air (http://www.experimentalair.com/) and would like an extra panel to experiment on. Van's seems to have raised the price of the F-1003A panel to $55. I can get a 2' X 4' X 0.063 sheet of 6061-T6 from Spruce for about $36, but I know some builders are opting for fiberglass or the oversized panel from Stein in place of the stock panel. I can give a home to that leftover stock panel.

    You might consider using your original panel for the experiment and making the final panel out of .090. It provides a stiffer panel for big EFIS cutouts. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of William Curtis Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2007 11:43 AM Subject: RV10-List: unused F-1003A instrument panel blank Anyone have an F-1003A instrument panel that they will not be using that they would like to sell?

    Subject: Re: "Innies" and "outies", step fairing
    I do have the flaps all the way down when people get in and out. The problem is some people walk straight off the plane and if they put the front of their foot on the step, then their heals are either close of sometimes catch the flap. I have tried it with the flaps up and then people catch their foot on the way up and sometimes even getting off. The biggest problem is the average (non-aviation) person thinks that the plane is the same as car. You can slam doors, step anywhere and not be very cautious. I must say that 90% of the people I give rides too are very courteous and over cautious, it is that 10% you have to watch for. You know how it is, sometimes you give them the big speech but they still do it quickly. I don't worry about it too much but alot of these problems would be taken care of if the wing was solid all the way to the step. Flap inspection is something I look at extra close. You never know what happens if you have your plane parked at an airport and someone jumps up and steps on the flap.

    Subject: "Innies" and "outies", step fairing
    From: "Randy DeBauw" <Randy@abros.com>
    I hear you. Just a reminder to all of those who are not flying yet. There is a preferred way to get on and off of the wing. This was told to me by Bruce at Vans about 1 month before my first flight. Always have the person face forward "towards the prop" both getting on the wing and getting off of the wing. Getting on the wing is a no brainier but getting off is the real dangerous time for the flap. If they are facing aft and have a flat soled shoe and there foot slips off of the step their butt lands on the flap. If the flap is in the down position you might have a chance of it taking a glancing blow. Also the weight transfer is much higher if you face aft. You have a good step down and with their full weight.

    I suspect the gap seal used on the horizontal stab might force you to trim a fairly large gap in the fairing.

    Subject: Slick Start
    Ron- From only my own experience .... I simply listen to the engine for smoothness and a small rpm drop and ignore the fact that the rpm reads zero. My sub-conscious can spot a miss within 10 milliseconds of the event and awake me from the dead in another 10 milliseconds. But thats just me. If you feel more comfortable with the switch then do it. I was seeing a problem with the EIS reporting (with an alert) the engine running at 3000, 3200, 3550 rpm. Usually I saw this in a decent and believed I was decending too fast or something was wrong with my governor. Then I saw the alert flying the pattern when the engine could not have possibly been overrevving. Looked at the P-leads with an oscilloscope and the two P-leads had vastly different patterns. With the Slick Start it looked like ringing and the other mag looked more like I expected to see. Recently changed the sensor to the mag without the Slick Start and I have not seen the over rev since, but I would feel more comfortable with this fix if I had another 10 hours, or so, on the aircraft since it happened randomly. So, go ahead and add the switch but if you see an overrev and it is pointing to the Slick Start mag then change it to the other mag to verify the problem. It would be good to get more input on this problem and the switch could be a great debugging tool.

    Subject: Re: Slick Start
    I feel the same way as Bill. The mag and the Lightspeed have different pulse counts for RPM, so I set my EIS up for the lightspeed. It works great, but I don't get to see what my mag drop is when running on just the mag. Even with a switch, one would read different than actual, due to the pulse count difference. To me, I see it as no big deal. When you run on just the lightspeed, you only drop 10-20 RPM. When you run on just the mag, you can tell pretty easily if it's running smooth or dropping a big drop. The most important thing is that the rpm doesn't drop a ton and it runs smooth, and you can hear that by ear easily. Besides that, with a lightspeed I haven't had a single iota of problems with my top plugs, and with fine wire plugs, my bottoms are staying very clean too...so fouling hasn't been an issue.

    Subject: Re: What is connected to your always on battery bus?
    I just have my lightspeed as switchable from the aux battery's battery bus, to the main bus. That's the only item I put on that battery bus. You can land fine with no flaps, so if you're going to put anything else on it, the trim might be the one thing worth doing. If you put lights on it, you may find yourself with a dead battery from forgetting to turn off the lights. For me, I don't mind only having lights with the master on...especially since I have those electrical system independent click-lights for the rear seats and baggage area that I can always turn on. I know there are some people that love the idea of a battery bus, but I love the idea of only super mission critical stuff on it...and being able to turn it positively off. That's why for me, it's just the lightspeed and nothing else...and even one I start the engine, I switch that to the Main bus so that when I power the airplane off and turn off the key, there's now power to any ignition system.

    Thanks to all who responded and offered me their "left over" F-1003A instrument panel blank. Local builder Bob Newman (http://www.tcwtech.com/RV-10%20construction%20project.htm) has graciously offered me his since he will be going with a composite panel similar to his Glastar (http://www.tcwtech.com/New%20Panel%20N99RN.JPG). While I'm there to pick up the panel, I'll take the opportunity to closely examine his Safety-Trim (http://www.tcwtech.com/Aviation%20Products.htm). Seems quite a few folks have left over instrument panels. One year at OSH we should have all builders bring their left over parts (panels, crotch strap clip, primer pump mount, door handles, etc) put it in a pile and raffle it all off with the proceeds going to charity. I bet that would be one big pile of parts.

If you are planning on some form of electronic ignition, that might be a good choice for battery bus power. Ignition power then works just like a mag, as long as the switch is on and the breaker or fuse is good the ignition is powered regardless of any other failures.

    Has anyone heard any rumblings about any increase this year? Is it time to figure how much can order before New Years? Does Vans usually shut down for some part of the Holidays? How early does one have to order?

    Ethanol isn't like lead. If a tank truck took a load of gasahol, then a load of straight mogas, the contamination wouldn't be enough to worry about. Also, it doesn't matter where you are, your nearest bulk plant has mogas without any ethanol, because they can't put ethanol in the pipelines, it has to come by rail or tank truck. Whether they would sell you any, for your "yacht", I don't know. That was what used to do in Alaska...just use somebody's boat registration number, go to bulk plant with a 100 gal tank in back of pickup, and fill it with straight mogas.

    you might also consider a power outlet or cig lighter outlet of some sort for that cell charger or pda that's running low. might allow for flight planning or cell call on the ramp without having the master on. I've waited out weather in the cockpit listening to a handheld plugged into constant power. its definitely not required but sometimes handy. steve -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of MauleDriver Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2007 1:41 AM Subject: Re: RV10-List: What is connected to your always on battery bus?
