    Doug, Congratulations on your first flight. It certainly is a wonderful feeling when you first take off after all those hours of building, and your up there in the air, and once you start breathing again, you think "Hey I built this damn thing, way to go mate" It's like when you first get your pilots license and they tell you this is your license to learn, I think now you have to learn to fly it correctly and debug all your systems. Have fun with your fly off and fly safe. Wayne Edgerton N602WT 110 hrs do not archive

    Geoff, Thanks for the quick reply but Byron Gillespie beat you to the punch. I will keep you number handy so that I do not burden any one of my new friends unduly. I appreciate the offer to help.

    Tom: If you have difficulty getting one of the axle extensions let me know . My friend who has a flying rv10 here in Paris broke his this last two months. He flies off of a grass strip. I had my Dad make up two sets and I have one extra if you need it. Could get it in the mail by tomorrow. We used the design off of Tim's site. http://myrv10.com/N104CD/upgrades/20070118/index.html Contact me via email.

    Doug, that's awesome....I know exactly how you feel! It only gets better from here on out too. You're not at all done having "firsts" with the plane, as there is just so much that the RV-10 opens you up to being able to do. Can you tell that spring is here? I think this year will FINALLY be the one that we start seeing some more rapid completions coming down the line.

    Jesse; I decided to build my own AP harness. I bought the parts from Stein but was wondering if you could tell me how long the harness is. I was thinking 20 feet or so but I don't want to waste or be short.. If you recall please let me know. In Christ! Pascal ----- Original Message ----- From: Jesse Saint To: rv10-list@matronics.com Sent: Monday, March 24, 2008 7:20 PM Subject: Re: RV10-List: Digiflight II autopilot wiring With the pitch reverse jumper connected it works in the right direction in all of the -10's I have worked on. I have never changed the direction of the aileron servo either, mostly using Stein's harness and a couple now from Approach Fast Stack. Either way, you can check it on the ground before you ever take it up. Just activate the autopilot and dial in a vertical speed and you will see the stick more one way or the other. The same can be done for the roll servo by dialing in a heading to the right or left of what it starts at.

In the wiring diagram, there is the option of installing a jumper to reverse one of the servos, and the option to swap two wires to change the direction of the other. For those who have already completed and tried this installation, is the jumper and/or wire swap required for the standard RV-10 installation to get the proper servo direction? I would rather do this now, rather than learn the hard way later.

    And congratulations to Tim James, even though I don't think he monitors the list. Tim J has made some interesting "grass runway" mods. He's flying off his hours now and should be flying it into the NW RV-10 Builders and Flyers dinner now scheduled for the 10th of May at Rob Hickman's place. So, besides Tim's, we should have Randy Debauw, Dan Benua, Bruce Radke and Norm Rainey's flying RV-10's in attendance. Dick and Jerry VanGrunsven might also fly in, so there could be as many as 6 flying on display at Rob's airpark house. Rob's plane (close to being finished) and his new panel toys, which many will see out at SnF, will be the static displays. For those RV-10 builders in the great Pacific NW who are not on the invite list, please contact me off line. This will be one of the best dinners yet. If you want to fly your RV-10 in and do not happen to be in the NW, well, I think we might be able to make room at the table. This event is mainly an excuse to get everyone together for dinner and to meet and greet a couple times a year, so it's more social than technical, but there's always something to ooooh and awwww over. Anyone got an updated count beyond the one at Van's? Both in terms of sales and completes?

Cox Sent: Monday, March 24, 2008 3:26 PM Subject: RE: RV10-List: N263DL First Flight Doug & Lynn - Indeed, Congratulations and here is to your smooth and uneventfully safe fly-off of your Phase One. I whole-heartedly endorse as well, your thanks to Tim Olson who shared with Everyone the process, the review, the decisions, the reasoning and the shear joy of flying the Best Model RV ever conceived. You are all an inspiration to those of us who follow and learn by your superior examples. And Yes, the second generation of RV-10 builders is emerging. I look forward to reports from Dan Benua, Ed Hayden, Rob Hickman, Deems Davis and scores of others on the flight characteristics beyond their Phase One approvals as well as those who are looking forward to the 2008 Safe Flying Season.

    Subject: Trimming cowl inlets
    Since the cowl is all fitted, the only thing left to do is trim the cowl inlets to the 2" depth Vans specifies in the plans...now for the question. Does the entire inlet get trimmed two inches from the front edge? The plans seem vague and lean towards only the outer edge...which doesn't make sense. And while I have everyone's undivided attention...I assume it is from the face of the inlet they are telling us to measure back two inches? Rick Sked 40185
