    Hey Chris, Our QB fuse did not have that problem (40695), but after much grunting and swearing, I DID discover a temporary pop rivet in that area that would not allow the tail to mesh in the baggage door area. We felt stupid after we discovered it and it did finally fit ... still not my favorite thing to do!!

    Subject: Insurance Renewal Time once again.
    Thanks Bob, I will owe you a few beers at Oshkosh this year. M y Agent just got back to be about the 10% discount for Technologically Adva nced Aircraft (TAA). AIG said I do meet these requirements and in fact the discount worked out to more than 10%, it was 12.2% in my case, or a saving s of $368. So here is how it looks. Hull Value w 5% AOPA w 5% AOPA and TAA discount $150,000 $2714 $2384 $170,000 $3,018 $2,650 So I told him to go ahead with the $170K on the Hull. For those of you guys that are still planning your panels, this is great information if you were sitting on the fence about having an IFR Certified GPS, Moving Map etc. It may pay for itself some time down the ro ad with this yearly discount.

    Subject: Buying and Selling RV-10s
    From: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    Just received my SNF '08 Complimentary copy of TRADE-A-PLANE (Volume 71) and found four RV-10s for sale #40441, #40423, #40144 and don't forget Eric's #40014. *** Then this morning someone posted a Question on Best Buying Practices on finished RVs. "I think a set of Best Practices for used RV pre-buy/purchasing would be helpful. Has anything like this been compiled before? I'm thinking about: Indicators of good construction (with photos) Indicators of poor construction (with photos) What to look for in the logs (good and bad) What tests to do? (avionics, engine, etc) Should an Oil Analysis be done? What quirks to be aware of between models... I think something like this would be very helpful to any non-A&P shopping for a used RV. -Andrew" The RV-10 is just too shiny and new to use my standard inspection techniques, but it is worth consideration when looking at another's work. It is amazing to track all of the RV-10s that have already resold and those now "On the Block". I am still fascinated at the high percentage of RV-10s which go on the blocks after the build is complete. Wish you guys would hold the longer and let market forces sent the value through the roof. When considering purchase of an older RV aircraft, I do a comprehensive review of all three logbooks; Airframe, Engine and Prop. The last one was an RV-6A which had over Nine joyous years and 950+ hours on it. I actually take the entries and convert them to Excel so I can do multiple searches of the hard data. Holes in the data entry can tell as much as what is sometimes written into them. Step 1 - Regularity and time between oil changes (or big periods of neglect). Step 2 - Rate of accumulated hours on the airframe. Step 3 - Replacement of failed components. Step 4 - Compliance with A.D.s and the time to respond (a Hot Topic lately). Step 5 - Compliance with S.B.s. Step 6 - Consideration of where the aircraft was flown and time to MOH. Step 7 - The accuracy and completeness of required logbook entries (Including transponder, VOR and ELT. Step 8 - In depth review of all Operating Checklists. Step 9 - The Conditional Inspection list and A differential cylinder pressure test should be completed on the powerplant with leak down results (when the engine is properly warmed to operating temperature). You really should fly the bird you are considering purchasing. Using a Digital Level (+/- 0.1=B0), check the rigging and movement of all control surfaces for compliance to Spec. Use three calibrated scales and reweigh the aircraft as "Properly Configured". Check your calculations with those that the manufacturer entered during the DAR inspection process. You don't want to be using Lycoming data with a Subaru powerplant or an incorrect battery weight and location. A review of two continuous oil analysis reports helps to develop a trend and not just a one time "Snap Shot". If you don't have them, start now. Check ignition timing and do a complete visual inspection of ignition components. One Mag was significantly off the timing marks. All lower plugs were Lead fouled. Check for RPM rise upon Leaning at Shutdown for correct setting. With higher fuel costs, the use of Mogas is going to become an issue with future purchases. Take digital pictures of the (Behind the Scenes) Instrument Panel construction and wiring. Get your favorite Avionics shop to critique the condition of wiring routing, connections and mount techniques. This is always a heavy hit $$$ when they want to rework or correct an installation. When in doubt, get an A&P who is an active I/A or does lots of RVs Conditionals of the model you covet to do your Pre-Purchase inspection. The investment in money can save a lot when tackling the responsibility of ownership on an Amateur Built aircraft. Remember that you don't get to hold the Repairman Certificate, so future Conditionals are more challenging. That right stays with the Seller, So maybe he will sign each future Conditional Inspection and stay on the hook with you? It is amazing what can be hidden by shiny new paint and filler. Tim or someone needs to start a Gotcha List for prospective buyers on items to look for. Keeping a High Resale Value and Lower Insurance costs, coupled with a low accident record is in every builder's self interest. Let the Excitement of Sun N Fun '08 begin. John Cox

    anyone know where to get a flap switch--3 position like some use on the Infinity grip, but for panel mounting. I would like it to have a broader 'toggle' than standard toggle switch so I can tell by feel it is flaps. thanks -------- Larry N104LG Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=174398#174398

    Just an FYI for those doing their own panels. I have just finished wiring in a dual AHRS Advanced Flight System setup, which is the first AFS system I have installed except the AOA. It is a very easy system compared to some. It is very similar to a Dynon installation in many ways. Way easier than the GRT EIS. do not archive Jesse Saint Saint Aviation, Inc. jesse@saintaviation.com Cell: 352-427-0285 Fax: 815-377-3694

    Jesse, before answering Bob's question. Will your "just finished wiring" for the AFS 3500 AHRS setup allow for the AFS4500 about to be unveiled next week up the street from you? Wiring is a biggy. If yes, then go ahead and answer Bob's query. I will wait until after you have an answer. It is great to watch the products develop and seek their place on the food chain. These are exciting times.

    Apparently they're pretty hard to come by. You might try one of the A/ C salvage yards, such as Wentworth in the twin cities. Some folks here have "rolled their own" with appropriate machine tools. They slipped a "home-made" flap-shaped Al cover on a standard toggle, and held it in place with a set screw. That's beyond my level! We put our flap switch inside a cage-like guard and just used a standard toggle configuration. It's the only guarded switch on the panel - I think that will work well, and it's protected from accidental activation in turbulence, for example. Good luck!

    Subject: Re: AFS Systems
    I don't know the answer to that yet, but if AFS is half as smart as they appear to be, it will be the same or very similar wiring. Dynon's wiring for their D-180 is the same as for the D-100 and D-120 combined, and the D-100 and D-120 have the same wiring as the D-10/ D-10A's. You know what assuming does, but let's hope it will be the same or very similar wiring. The one thing I know about the 4500 is that they will fit into trays instead of having the connectors attach directly to the back of the EFIS or EMS. I just got the paperwork from Rob that they will be giving out at Sun-N-Fun and it looks fantastic. Market share is definitely going to be moving in their direction, IMHO. As far as Bob's question, I have only worked with the GRT EIS, not the EFIS, so I won't/can't speak to that. My main memory of the recent wiring of the EIS is all of the specific resistors that need to be wired in line with the different sensors and the number of wires that have to be run to multiple places for the excitation voltage for sensors. On GRT's behalf, I got the impression that they have a new EIS coming out that will eliminate some of this. Also, the GRT allows you to use a lot more different types of senders and to calibrate the system to read them, but for most of the people on this list, I don't think that is as big of a deal since most are building new planes and buying new sensors, not trying to retrofit. On the Sun-N-Fun note, I will plan to be there all week except Sunday, probaby. By that time I will be pretty tired, especially since I am just getting back home from Ecuador the day after tomorrow, and also because my wife is due with baby #5 in 3 weeks (please no comments on how close I am cutting that, as I already know it - but since she will be with me at Sun-N-Fun, we may end up having the midwife just come to the camper as long as the labor doesn't run into the curfew hours :-) ). I will try to send reports on any new offerings or surprises or great show specials. I don't know if we can expect an Auto Pilot offering from Dynon yet or if we have to wait until OSH.

Make your own 'flap handle' like a flap section, drill a hole in the hinge side and use some JBWELD to hold it on the switch handle. You can buy switches with threaded handles too. Google 'electronic parts' ...... jameco mouser allied digikey are all possibilities. You can get flat handles ..... maybe 1/4" wide but I think you'd rather have something 1" wide. Also, you want a round one (lollipop) for the gear switch. ;-) You can also go to http://www.fletchair.com/ and order a flap switch for a 2-place grumman.

Thanks Bob, I will owe you a few beers at Oshkosh this year. My Agent just got back to be about the 10% discount for Technologically Advanced Aircraft (TAA). AIG said I do meet these requirements and in fact the discount worked out to more than 10%, it was 12.2% in my case, or a savings of $368. So here is how it looks. Hull Value w 5% AOPA w 5% AOPA and TAA discount $150,000 $2714 $2384 $170,000 $3,018 $2,650 So I told him to go ahead with the $170K on the Hull. For those of you guys that are still planning your panels, this is great information if you were sitting on the fence about having an IFR Certified GPS, Moving Map etc. It may pay for itself some time down the road with this yearly discount.

Ray, good info - thanks! I have some additional data to contribute since I very recently received quotes. AIG had a premium of $3,261 for a 150k hull value as an instrument rated pilot with roughly 400 hours TT and 11 hours make/model. This includes a 5% discount for being a member of AOPA. I had one other quote from AIM for $3,050. Difference between the two was essentially in coverage of first flight and during the flyoff period. The AIG quote covers everything but with increased deductible and lower liability during the flyoff period. AIM didn't cover first flight but did include an Open Pilot Warranty with requirements of 500 hours TT and 10 hours make/model. AIG has a breakpoint at 100 hours make/model where a discount comes into play. AIG also has a discount (10% I think) for Technologically Advanced Aircraft. You have to meet the requirements when the quote is generated to get the discount (unfortunately I didn't know this and didn't have an IPC within the last year so didn't get the discount this time). Following are the requirements for that discount: Aircraft Requirements: 1. IFR certified GPS 2. Moving map display 3. 2 axis autopilot Plus 2 of the following systems installed on-board and operational: Terrain awareness such as TAWS, GPWS or EGPWS Traffic avoidance (TCAS) Weather monitoring equipment such as stormscope, datalink or radar Advanced fuel management such as a fuel totalizer RNP capability Pilot Requirements: 1. Private or more advanced pilot certificate with instrument rating 2. Completion of an IPC within the previous 12 months and annually thereafter in the make and model aircraft to be operated 3. Attend/complete 1 of 5 ASF courses in the preceding 12 months related to: a. Single pilot IFR b. Datalink c. Thunderstorms d. IFR GPS e.

It's that time again when my Insurance Renewal is up on my RV-10. I thought I would share with the group what I was just told about how much it was going to cost me this year for insurance. My RV-10 (N519RV) is currently insured with AIG. Last year my premium was $3,144, for a hull value of $150,000. At the time of that renewal, I was an Instrument rated pilot with roughly 300 hours total time and 150 hours in make and model. This year, (renewal on April 20, 2008) AIG's premium is $2,714 for the same $150,000 hull value, that's $430 cheaper than last year. That make me happy. And since I have been considering increasing the hull value, I had them quote it for $170,000 hull value. That quote came in at $3,018. Now to compare, the quote for $150,000 with Global Aerospace was $3,520 Now I just need to figure out if I wan't to increase the hull value or not with AIG.

THERE IS A SNAKE IN THE WOOD PILE SOMEWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!? ALSO, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE DISCOUNT PROGRAMS SOME OF THE GUYS MENTIONED. REGARDS, DOUG PRESTON N372RV -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Edgerton <wayne.e@grandecom.net> Sent: Tue, 1 Apr 2008 10:31 pm Subject: RV10-List: RE: Insurance Renewal Time once again I also just received a quote for my insurance renewal, which is coming up in June. Last year I had Jim Pappas as an agent and he put me with AIG. I had the hull value at $200,000, a little low, with $1,000,000 coverage. There is some small deductible amount. The premium was $3,379?As many of you may know Jim decided to no longer be an insurance agent so I went to EAA who got me a quote from Global & AIG for my renewal. ? I have about 2000 hours, about 100 in type,?and I'm twin engine instrument rated with a glider rating, I don't know if that helps or not. I've also completed the Wings program level 11. The only reason I'm saying all of this is for comparison on quotes. ? On the quotes that I just received it appears that Global is a better choice for me. They have no deductible and several other benefits that AIG doesn't and my new rate will be $2,950. ? Wayne Edgerton N602WT

    Specific shop mentioned was AOG http://www.aogpaint.com/ I also plan to have my plane painted there. As a side note, my wife discovered Scheme Designers at OSH a couple years ago and AOG is one of their recommended shops. They also were in Aviation Consumer a year or two ago as one of the top shops.

    Also.... Autopilot I just landed from testing our new autopilot GPS steering, it works really good. We have some minor adjustments to do and then it should be ready for our beta testers. You might even be able to fly home from Sun-n-Fun with it :) It currently follows the bugs or NAV CDI (GPS, VOR, or ILS) To fully use the interface you will need an Autopilot that supports GPS steering, lateral and vertical. I have a Digitrak IIVSGV in my RV-4 and RV-10. You will not be disappointed!!, it will be worth the wait. Weather We have XM weather!! It looks really good on the map screen.
