Hey wait ! I resemble that remark! :-D
Funny thing, I've been on the phone and e-mail for the last couple of
days with people who are working on 2 mods that I think every RV-10
builder will want. (I know I want them) Both of the designer/builders
monitor this forum, but are a little shy about throwing their creations
open to the scrutiny of this expert group. (They figured I was an easy
and low risk mark :-P ). Actually I'm hoping that this e-mail might put
some additional pressure on them :-X . And sniff them out.
*_I PROMISE_* these will be the last two mods I make before the plane
flies !
(I've got one more that's in the works, but that one is Major and will
remain 'cloaked' until it's ready ) ---- don't you just LOVE the drama
!!!!!!
Gary, your bird looks terrific, I'm counting on you to shake out the OP

When it came to replace the tires on my 9 I changed to Michelin Airstop
tubes at the same time, the originals Vans supplied leaked live sieves. I'd
heard good things about Airstop tubes and I haven't been dissapointed -
after 4 months and many, many landings I recently checked the pressure and
they had barely lost 1 psi in 28.

I just recently replaced my main tires and tubes with Goodyear Flight Custom III
15/6.00-6 and Leak Guard Tubes 15/6.00-6. I'm not sure about the difference
in size but there is a difference in weight capacity between a 6.00 and a 6.00-6.
So far, so good on the tubes but I have only had them for one month. The
tires are defiantly more beefy.
I bought everything through Desser and received them very quickly.
Tires and tubes is one area where I really didn't mind spending extra money. My
old tires went almost 300 hours and they say the compound on the Goodyear tires
are 20% more wear resistant and the rubber thickness is quite a bit more.
Here is some data that Dresser posts on their site.

GAMA to begin, NBAA, AOPA, COPA and yes EFIS suppliers and others great
and small. GAMA - General Aviation Manufacturers (Certified). But as
I pointed out months ago, the cry was heard at OSH '05 that something
had to be done about Rick Schrameck and his Epic creation that was
threatening the perceived market share of a Florida manufacturer. The
victim became Dr. Cadwell who completed the build, as he had his
previous Lancair IVP, years before. He fully documented what he did.
However, at the time the aircraft kit was not on the Official list. By
the way, that list has been held hostage by this ARC and will also have
an NPRM.
There is validity in a question of Kitbuilt when it must be done only at
a named factory facility. However, under the archaic rules. Dr.
Cadwell did 51+% and invested more than 7 significant digits in funds.
The FAA, under political pressure refused issuance of the Phase One
authorization and the all important Airworthiness Document. One year,
countless more funds and attorneys efforts - he has been rewarded and
has months of joyful 1250 SHP turboprop flight. Rick now has a
successful business and pursues similar interests in Canada. Note: a
party to this committee finding. They just can't allow any back doors
to remain at manipulating their intent. Joe Bartels, also on the
committee saw the writing on the wall as so many former employees opened
Opportunity Shops. Joe created the Factory Assist Program (in Redmond,
OR) at $4,000 per week for up to 28 weeks. Just think, factory jigs,
factory tools, factory staff, factory experience and it morphed into the
Three Weeks to Final Build Program (Arlington, WA) which was seized by
Kitplanes Editor Marc Cook. Lets see 3 weeks, 7 days a week, 24 hours a
day = 504 work hours. No sleep. Oh, how this thing can grow horns.
The products have truly evolved. The builder benefits, the free market
system is great.
Thanks for reading at least to the Introduction Gerry.

Does Van's supply the battery master in the kit or do you have to buy it
separately. I am at work getting ready to place a parts order and thus
cannot remember/verify if I have one or not yet.
Here's to hoping that buying a standard kit and building the entire thing
with the help of my wife meets the 51% rule!! Do mods count as extra
percentage points? If so one can build 105+% of the plane then. I am
thinking this makes Deems the % champion :-)

| Subject: | Perihelion dimmers |
Jay -
I have two.
One driving an LED strip from Stein.
The other driving the LED map light, also from Stein.
They're slightly bigger than the typical DPDT switch - not wider, but taller
on one end.
They seem to work well.
Note that you only need a 1/4" hole.
I've been VERY happy with Eric's service.

Has anyone used these dimmers? http://www.periheliondesign.com/egpavr.htm
* Any quirks?
* It doesn't appear to be Pulse Width Modulated (a bonus)
(data Sheet here: http://www.national.com/mpf/LM/LM317.html)
* ON/OFF switch is nice
* How do they fit in the very limited space provided for by the RV10 switch
rail?
Thanks,
Jay

| Subject: | Re: Oil Canning and Santa's gift |
John,
I want to thank you for your candid comments on oil canning problems with the last
bottom outboard wing skins. I must have looked at your and Van's drawings
a hundred times before I began.
In short, my first skin was a success with an inconsequential "swelling" in one
of the last panels. Doing the second one, my wife suggested (she's the head riveter)
that we do the last part at a diagonal - starting from the rear spar outboard
to the forward outboard rivet. It came out fantastic and was much easier
to do, since you can bend the skin more without worrying about a crease.
As you said, trimming the leading edge of the skin to fit was important. I found
that a flat file took off the most metal with the smoothest edge - before a
little scotchbrite, of course.
For those of you getting ready to tackle those skins, I would suggest making absolutely
sure the leading edge of the skin has some gap prior to the final match
drill. Follow Van's suggestions but modified with John's pdf flow. Finally,
consider the "diagonal scheme" for the outboard three ribs - it really worked
and I'll be thanking my wife for weeks.
Finally! I'm on to the Fuselage!
John (lowly bucker)

I have not used the Perihelion dimmers but I have made a few voltage regulators
using the circuit in the data sheet. I use the LM 338 regulator which gives me
7 amps max output and 5 amps. constant current. For me, it is a pretty good
regulator and reliable circuit. You should be pleased with the dimmer.

TIMEOUT FOR HUMOR
Arabs WRECKED A340-600 at TULOUSE FRANCE 11-07
These are pictures of the wreck of a brand new A340-600, that had never
flown. (never saw (1) hour in the air)
Thank these French and their Arab friends for this bit of "comedy of
errors".
Nine employees of the Arab airline were in the aircraft, but "no employees"
from Airbus were present.
The Arab's taxied out to the run-up area.
Then they took all four engines to takeoff power with virtually an empty
aircraft. (They obvious didn't read the run-up manuals.)
No chocks were set, (not that it would have mattered at that power setting).
"Brakes will not hold it back at full power anyway".
As it turns out the takeoff warning horn was blaring away in the cockpit
because they had all FOUR engines at full power.
The aircraft computers thought they were trying to takeoff but it had not
been configured properly (flaps/slats, etc, etc).
Then one of these brain surgeons decided to pull the "Ground Sense"
circuit breaker to quiet the alarms.
This fools the aircraft into thinking it is in the air."A big, big mistake"!
As soon as they did that, the computers automaticlly "released" all the
brakes. ("this is a Safety feature so that pilots don't land with the brakes
on".)There was No time to stop and no one smart enough thought to reduce the
max power setting.....
So the rest is as you see it below.
No one is talking, so who knows if there were survivors.

Group:
Before attaching the wings, I'd like to fill up the tanks, more to test
the fuel quantity indicators than anything else. Is supporting a wing
with 3-4 sawhorses, maybe with plywood on top, sufficient for the 180
pounds or so of fuel that will be in there?
Thoughts? Suggestions? What have others done?
Thanks,
TDT
