    From: "McGANN, Ron" <ron.mcgann@baesystems.com>
    Thanks Jim, forgot about Hysol. Contacted the Loctite distributor here in Oz who manages Hysol products. Believe it or not, EA 9360 is not available here and will need to be shipped over (Hazmat). There is a product available locally (E-20 HP) that has a bond strength of 4000psi between Aluminium and epoxy substrates, but only 290psi to Acrylics - it is also a typical Loctite product with expected bond line of 2-9mils thickness. No good for the gap between plexi and windshield. Just can't win! . . . . Cheers, Ron -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of jim berry Sent: Monday, 5 May 2008 1:02 PM Subject: RV10-List: Re: Window Adhesive (again) Ron, Let me put in another plug for Hysol EA 9360. I found it very easy to work with while doing my windows. Afterwards I did some simple trials with plexi-fiberglass, plexi-alum., alum.-fiberglass, alum-alum. After 1 week cure all samples were virtually impossible to separate without destroying the bonded material. Working time is approx. 1 hour @ 25C. Lancair uses this stuff for their pressurized windows(which are installed from the inside) and for bonding major wing and fuselage components. Tensile lap shear strength is 5000psi. It can by air shipped, but that probably will not be necessary as there are 2 dealers in the land of Oz. Located in Kilsyth and Welland. I think I paid about $90US for a quart, which will be enough to do all your windows and anything else you want to never come apart. Go to www.aerospace.henkel.com for specs. and msds sheets.

The big loop is there to take the stress off when the caliper moves ..... but I think the culprit just may be high frequency vibrations (chatter?) from using the brakes.

    Subject: Re: Recent Maintenance - Tires and Brake Lines
    I don't know if it's still completely necessary. If you can route the line down under the fairing with no interference and bend it back, you could be fine. But, this weekend I took my calipers off and that was made easy by the loop, since I had plenty of flex to pull them out and work with them. I guess I just did my routing the original plans way and didn't worry too much about it. Other than a couple of ounces of weight I don't really see a big downside either...it allowed me to make the lines nice and secure to the fairing back plate. I didn't use clamps down the gear legs but did those more like the plans method too, because I didn't want to have the leg fairings have to expand to fit over the clamps. With the friction tape under them and then tape securing them, and the anti-chafe clear plastic coating over the stainless braid, I don't think I'll ever see any wear anywhere. For the first 330 hours with the other setup I had zero issues, and this install is even nicer. From Bonaco there wasn't a part number, as they were custom....but included this line in my write-up: "The important thing when odering is to tell them EXACTLY what you want.... 46" -3 size hose with -4 size straight fittings, WITH the chafe guard protective rubber coating."

    Subject: Re: Recent Maintenance - Tires and Brake Lines
    Well, the Monster retreads aren't available in the RV-10 size, so that's why I had to go with their "High Performance Retreads". I don't know that I'd want to stuff Monster Retreads under our fairings anyway. But, from a tire rubber perspective, they sound like they'll wear well. Next time though, it's genuine Goodyear's for me. The most recent Aviation Consumer review kind of points to the value of spending more on the tires and having them last longer. BTW: With the wear pattern I had, I had one tire start showing cords, and you could put fingers on the inside and outside and feel the tire was very thin....so for all you folks running the tires like that, pay close attention. When you see cords, you're really past replacement time by a bit... there's not much tire there. Regarding the balancer.... Well, my local shop likes to charge $35, which is a total ripoff, but in the end, it's a tool, and most tools tend to be long-term investments and just plain nice to have. Things like jackstands, balancers, and stuff like that can make it much more convenient to just pop off a tire and check it's balance on a whim. I think tool ownership can help motivate perhaps more meticulous maintenance levels, because you're not hindered for time and convenience or cost. Not only that, but this same balancer could be used to balance my lawn mower blades and stuff too. :) Tim Olson - RV-10 N104CD - Flying do not archive William Curtis wrote: > <wcurtis@nerv10.com> > > Tim, > > I second the opinion on those Monster retreads.

    I've decided to install a pop-out ram air turbine alternator as my backup power supply. I'm looking for a good place to put it and the most likely place seems to be the starboard skin of the baggage compartment. The entire package can fit into a 7" by 7" by 8" cube to give you the approximate size. The pop-out door is smaller.

I haven't checked the price of the PlanePower vacuum pad alternator, but I'd lean toward that for a second alternator. Alternators are pretty bulletproof now, so my question is what caused the search for an alternative??? The biggest failure modes I hear about (I haven't suffered any) are loose (or missing!) case bolts and 'field' wires fracturing inside the insulation next to the alt lug ..... and these are in OLD airplanes!!! No flames .... just curious. Not knowing the thought process leaves a big hole in the available data. Linn do not archive

    Excellent question. I'm in the early stages of designing the electrical and panel. I've been reading Bob Nuckoll's book and other articles regarding dual alternators, dual batteries, etc., and I've found myself leaning towards the single battery/dual alternator path. I have a lot of experience with drop-out ram air turbines in airplanes - not that I ever needed to use it except in simulators. I'm comfortable with the concept. The B&C or PlanePower vacuum pad alternators are logical choices in my book. They are a little cheaper, as well. But I like the concept of a totally independent alternator outside the engine compartment. I also like the "pull the handle" logic. We all know that a pilot's IQ goes to about 40 when things suddenly stop, and that pulling tends to satisfy the inner beast. I think it qualifies as a KISS. No cowling to pull, one less thing to do in the engine compartment, etc. John -------- #40572 QB Fuselage, wings finished N711JG reserved Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=181228#181228

    The PlanePower vacuum pad unit is for Continentals, not Lycomings. When I asked them if they were planning to come out with an SD-20 alternative, they said they weren't planning to. I for one hope they change their minds. Until then I'll stick to the SD-20. I admire your interpretation of KISS -- for me throwing a SD-20 on the pad is way simpler than trying to design and install a ram turbine setup.

    The RATs on our air carrier fleet are one of the most maintenance intensive accessories. They often do not work and require tremendous ongoing maintenance to keep them doing what the college kids in Ontario computer screens designed in their heads. Look to someone who has a functioning RAT or be prepared to report to us "How is that working for you?" as Dr. Phil would phrase it. All this from a guy who will throw more features at an RV-10 than any one builder would reasonably try. For my acronym impaired buddies, that stands for Rotary (cause they have to turn not just get air rammed through them) Air Turbines and it is amazing how much air must pass through the blades to effect life sustaining electron flow. When the power goes out or the engine stops or the blade won't pull, The aircraft belongs to the insurance company. Land immediately and walk away to answer Dr. Phil. Do not follow in the footsteps of Mr. Knoeplein (OSH '05) and try a backup system to correct an in-flight failure.

    Hi Again Yesterday I spent some time considering what will go where behind my panel. As I plan to install dual AFS 4500 EFIS screens, I am *hoping* that the cut-outs will provide adequate access through the panel rather than having to work below the panel. There is a lot of useful space behind the sub panel but getting at it will be a monumental pain once the a/c is completed. It seems like the only access will be from below with a couple of rudder pedal tubs in the way to complicate matters. I was wondering what other ingenious ways others have making use of this space without having to expand their 4 letter work vocabulary. Inquiring minds need to know ... Les Kearney #40643

    cost is 1% per year. _____ From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Les Kearney Sent: Monday, May 05, 2008 10:06 AM Subject: RV10-List: Builders Insurance Hi I am looking getting builders insurance for my -10. I am starting to accumulate parts of significant value and they are not covered under my homeowner's policy (I am still in my garage). I was wondering what others are paying for insurance, if at all, and what the rate is per $1k of coverage. Inquiring minds need to know Les Kearney #40643

    Subject: Window Adhesive (again)
    Ron I would be inclined to see what other similar aircraft are using. A few weeks ago I saw a "2 weeks to taxi" Glasair in a paint shop that used SIlpruf to attach the windows. In fact I have bought the AirLink Tech Silpruf video to see what is involved. This *suggests* that the Silpruf method is an acceptable way to install a/c windows. Accepting you data as accurate, there is a big difference between Weldon10 and Silpruf. The key question to be answered is therefore is "what is an acceptable bond strength?" Intuitively, it would seem that 2700PSI is way over the top as far as requirements go. This implies the window would have to withstand a huge amount of force. I bet a nickel that the window or the other underlying material would be gone long before the actual bond broke. Please share whatever else your research reveals - I am very interested as are others I am sure.

Here are some numbers I found on bond strength to acrylic: WeldOn 10: 2700psi SilPruf: 246 psi Scotch Weld 2216 B/A: 1100 psi (shear) 500 psi tension (I think) FE6026: dunno Epoxy/flox: dunno Sikaflex: dunno, but requires a minimum 3/16" bed SilPruf is not recommended for structural applications and seems to be more a sealant. And it appears to have only 10% the bond strength of Weldon. Maybe I have dodgy data and am happy to be corrected by the fans. Given the bond strength of the Weld On, it seems to me that the windows become an integral part of the cabin and are therefore structural. I'm not sure I would feel comfortable behind Silpruf, especially for the windshield (but of course that is just my view based on the data I have so far). I just can't find any tech data on the FE6026 that Jesse recommends and have no clue what the bond strength of epoxy/flox would be. I'm really keen to get some hard quantitative data before I make a decision. Can anyone fill in the gaps (whoops bad unintended pun)??

    This reminds me, I have one of the AirLink window installation videos for s ale if anyone is interested. It's a VHS tape that is spotty on the quality of the video (you Sam James video watchers know what I mean) but very info rmative none the less. From Airlink I believe its $30 plus shipping.

He called to make sure that I knew the status of AA and provided me his contact information for assistance in working any bugs out of the panel that AA built for me. It's nice to kow that I still have the ability to ask questions to the guy that actually designed and worked on my panel. He asked if Tony Sustare, the owner of AA, had contacted me. I informed him that the only way I knew about the status of the company was through the RV-10 board, and that I have had no contact with Tony.

    Or you can place the world's largest defrost fans in those holes. Speaking of defrost fans we just installed two high volume computer fans in the dash. They are Vantec Tornado 80mm case fans that put out A LOT of CFM. I believe they pass 84 CFM vs. the typical computer case fans which are in the low to mid 30 CFM. Price under $11.00 each. These units are industrial grade cooling for computer gamers. They are run 55 dBA at full speed but I have a feeling the big fan on the front of the -10 is a little louder. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999612 Robin

They are run 55 dBA at full speed but I have a feeling the big fan on the front of the -10 is a little louder. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999612 Robin

    Subject: Overhead console head room
    Chris, I know we talked about AirCrafters' console on the phone, so please don't take this as a sales pitch;-) The stock ducts below the panel let in a lot of air. You can aim then where ever you need it most, from a whisper to gale force. I'm tall too, that's why I didn't want much hanging down from the ceiling. So far our console is working out nicely. I taxi with the door cracked open but with all the fuss lately I may stop that. I've never had a problem, even with it full open. Usually I just leave it cracked and hold the bottom edge with my left hand. I'd hate for it to depart though, so I'm thinking I'll just quit that. OIur RV is in the interior shop now. Should be done in a few days. I'll post some pictures then.

I am only considering the console for the front seat gaspers, as lights can be installed without one. I am 6' 4'', and am concerned about the loss of headroom from a console. I sat in a friends 10 that had a full width console, and had a headroom issue. If I only brought a duct forward to route air, could that 3inch wide, or so, duct up the middle of the cabin top cause a headroom issue as well? I don't like my headset bumping on anything! A real pet peeve. Has anyone ducted air up from the front, possibly from substituting the steel cabin support bar with a larger diameter, thinner wall tube, and running the air thru that? How about enclosing the existing support with a fiberglass duct? Maybe mount the mag compass in there and really look custom. The real question is, do you truly need the additional air? My RV8 has only the panel mounted air vent, and it is more than adequate, once airborne, and I fly out of Las Vegas. Of course on the 8, you slide the canopy back for taxi airflow, an option that isn't available in the 10. How about taxing with the doors slightly open? Are the doors too fragile for that option? My friend with the console says that the gaspers leak air , and that's a nuisance in the winter, but he feels the overhead gaspers will be a blessing in the summer, but as yet unknown. Would an inline fan, when turned off, restrict the ram pressure enough to prevent unwanted leakage? A shutoff valve would work, but that's complexity and weight that gains you little. Opinions or experiences anyone? Chris Hukill tailcone attached (hanger sure got smaller)

    Subject: Missing index holes in doors
    The first step in working with the doors is to locate and drill 6 index holes per door (45-02). The 2 fore index marks are missing and one of the window index holes has been ground away. I have the pink doors. Has anyone else run into this? How did you address it. I have a call into Vans and they are going to attempt to take measurements. This isn't going to be easy given the compound curves and lack of clean straight lines. I wonder how critical the precise location of these holes is?

    Subject: Missing index holes in doors
    LOL. The mating of the shells in part determines the location of the latch box which contains the door handle. Get it wrong and your Van supplied door pins will be too long/too short. The too short will have to be re-fabricated from additional material. They advised me that they only make standard length pins which is not reasonable since the location of the latch/handle can vary due to door construction and latch placement. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of MauleDriver Sent: Monday, May 05, 2008 3:51 PM Subject: RV10-List: Missing index holes in doors The first step in working with the doors is to locate and drill 6 index holes per door (45-02).

    Subject: Re: Missing index holes in doors
    From my experience with the green doors, the provided index holes weren't very accurate, and do affect the final fit of the door. For my second set of (pink) doors, I centered the C-1002-B inner door shells in the cabin top cutout. You'll find that they will slide about 20 mm fore and aft, and about 25 mm up and down in the cutout. I marked the extent of travel in all directions, then centered the door, and back drilled the door from the existing holes in the aluminium structure. The right door's index holes were correct, but the left door's index holes were off by about 2-3 mm. The outer door shell can then be centered on the inner door shell, using the window joggle as a reference, and the four corner holes drilled. FWIW, I continued to cleco the door shells all around their perimeter, rather than relying on clamps/weights to hold them together when gluing. Now trimmed, hinged and latched, the doors fit extremely well. Indran > > > The first step in working with the doors is to locate and drill 6 > index holes per door (45-02).

    Subject: Re: Ram Air Turbine
    Starting with Bob Nuckoll's book (good reference for any builder), I considered various designs with dual alternators and a single battery when building my 8A. Most however had at least one way where a single fault would end up with no electrical power. As I have dual electronic ignitions, this was not acceptable. Considering there is nothing as reliable as a maintained, modern battery, I designed a dual Odyssey PC625 battery, single alternator power distribution for the 8A. One battery has enough power to run the panel and ignition for at least two hours - that is if you dump the heavy, non-vital loads like landing lights and pitot heat. Both batteries in parallel (normal operation) provides superior cranking power. While a single battery starts my IO-360 just fine, I would not take off with a known battery problem. I'll have a similar install in the RV-10. I replace one battery every other annual, or if I do something stupid like leave one of the master solenoids on and run a battery down to the ground (I now have a light to remind me). This makes sure that neither battery is over four years old. The first battery I pulled out is still in service on a Pulsar. I did a 2 hour test discharge using one battery. It keep one ignition and panel up with continuous transponder and radio comms with air traffic control (the other battery and alternator where available if needed during this test).

    John, Again no expert here and not flying yet but I like the dual battery set up as Carl describes and have configured our -10 exactly that way. Battery 1 trickle charges Battery 2 and both batteries are available for extra cranking power on cold days etc... #2 battery energizes the Essential Buss only. Additionally our back up to the G900X is a Dynon 100 with its own internal battery. So that is three, count them three batteries. I think this is a belts, suspenders and another set of suspenders approach. Robin Do Not Archive

He replied to me today, unfortuenatly to confirm what has already been posted. So to imply he has cut and run is the internet at it's worst. I know people have been screwed when this has happened before (ie Direct-To) but there's no evidence of that yet. People may yet be out their money but maybe you should wait until the facts are in before you crucify Tony . Did you lose money? If so I could see where you might be upset, but if not can we stay civil? AA's closure is a blow for the whole community not just Tony, his employees and customers.

    Ahhh... Just the kind of response I was looking for - strong opinions. Keep firing, I want to hear all the negatives. One thing I need to point out is that the RAT is a ready to install device. All I have to to is mount a square bracket, cut a smaller hole in the skin, and bolt in the device. Wiring to the bus and the pull handle are additional, but minor. RATs are labor intensive to airliners because nobody ever uses them and maintenance has to "maintain them." In our environment, an easy matter. A simple airborne test and a write-up would solve all the part 135/121 problems, but would create a lot of MEL stickers. However, we can pull it anytime we want and get it fixed with no problems, just don't make it a part of your POH IFR requirements. In fairness to the airline maintenance folks, pushing it back in is no easy job on an Airbus. Keep the comments coming....

Speaking of defrost fans we just installed two high volume computer fans in the dash. They are Vantec Tornado 80mm case fans that put out A LOT of CFM. I believe they pass 84 CFM vs. the typical computer case fans which are in the low to mid 30 CFM. Price under $11.00 each. These units are industrial grade cooling for computer gamers. They are run 55 dBA at full speed but I have a feeling the big fan on the front of the -10 is a little louder. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999612 Robin

I was wondering what others are paying for insurance, if at all, and what the rate is per $1k of coverage.

    In John's defense, I really didn't take that as a serious crucifixion of Tony. If he did cut and run and left customers and vendors both without their instruments or money, then he may deserve to look like the guy in the picture. If he does what many would not and says, "I'll do everything I can to get everybody their money or instruments back", then great for him and the picture was purely in fun. Either way, I enjoyed trying to see if that really was Tony or just a friend of John's that he beat up to take a picture for the list. By the way, I have talked to a vendor who has already changed their credit and billing/shipping/payment policy because they expect to have a shipped order yet unpaid when the dust settles, so not only are their customers who have paid for instruments that they haven't received, but their are vendors who have shipped instruments that they were not paid for. I just hope John doesn't send Guido and Vinny down to see me, but on the other hand, I have Pedro, Miguel, Manuel and Marlo watching my back, so we might send them back looking like "Tony". All in fun and certainly no offense meant to anybody else with the above names, including Tony from the late company known as Accuracy Avionics. do not archive Jesse Saint Saint Aviation, Inc. jesse@saintaviation.com Cell: 352-427-0285 Fax: 815-377-3694 On May 5, 2008, at 8:35 PM, tsts4 wrote: > > John, > I think that is really in poor taste.

    John, You are too generous, a true craftsman, gets it right the1st time. There are many builders that truly are craftsmen, I'm just persistent and trying to get close to their results. I've got some time on my hands and I also take a lot of pictures (being careful to edit out the OOPS!).

    Subject: Re: Ram Air Turbine
    Just to repeat the key point, you want to preclude a single point failure taking out your power distribution system. Having a second (or more) alternator, regardless of type, but retaining typical production type buss wiring does little to prevent many common failure modes. There was a article a few years ago about a twin (two alternators) losing all electrical power by a common buss connection failure. It provides a good case study on this issue. I'll see if I can dig it up. Another consideration is the reliability of the backup power. A second battery that is routinely used and monitored during normal operations, or a stand by mechanical device that REALLY needs to work when you pull the cord?

Just the kind of response I was looking for - strong opinions. Keep firing, I want to hear all the negatives. One thing I need to point out is that the RAT is a ready to install device. All I have to to is mount a square bracket, cut a smaller hole in the skin, and bolt in the device. Wiring to the bus and the pull handle are additional, but minor. RATs are labor intensive to airliners because nobody ever uses them and maintenance has to "maintain them." In our environment, an easy matter. A simple airborne test and a write-up would solve all the part 135/121 problems, but would create a lot of MEL stickers. However, we can pull it anytime we want and get it fixed with no problems, just don't make it a part of your POH IFR requirements. In fairness to the airline maintenance folks, pushing it back in is no easy job on an Airbus. Keep the comments coming....

    I was told that the insurance does not cover you during the transport to the airport. The greatest risks on you and the insurance company. Also, I believe that most H/O policies will cover you as "contents" when it is on site in your home depending on "Contents" coverage. Before you get your "DAR sign-off" it is just parts, and even at the airport you should have coverage of 10% of your H/O policy. Please correct me if I am incorrect on any of these details -------- OSH '08 or Bust Q/B Kit - Ready to exit cabin top/door purgatory Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=181413#181413
