    Those numbers should be on a sheet that came with the sensor. I'd give you mine, but one of my two sensors (The High pressure one) was not the original cheap one that GRT sells, but their more premium "Stainless Steel High Pressure Sensor", which uses a different SF and OFF. I am not sure if that was oil pressure or fuel pressure for that sensor though. But either way, they have sheets for both sensor types that show the info. For the cheap VDO 80 and 150, this is what it says: Set AuxSF to 182 for 150 psi sender, 91 for 80 psi sender Set AuxOff to 29 for 150 psi sender, 15 for 80 psi sender Set Aux Sensing to normal (+) on Options page If the auxiliary input includes a decimal point, the pressure displayed will be 1/10 of actual. For example, 35 psi will be displayed as 3.5 psi. If you don't have these sheets, I'd get them to send them to you.

    For the stainless steel high pressure fuel sender (what GRT recommends for FI engines), the SF is 63 and OFF is 51. Be aware however that there's a minor calibration procedure to set the zero level. As I recall this involves having zero PSI (open the mixture to guarantee this) and then setting the OFF as appropriate. They want this done with the ambient air temp around 72 degrees F.

    Subject: Re: EIS 6000 question
    That's the one I have....the SF is 63, but it doesn't just list the OFF as 51 on my sheet, it says: Calibrate as follows. Set AuxOff to 0. Be sure no pressure is applied to the sensor. Note the auxiliary display. The sensor is operating properly if the aux display is between 20-30 or 2.0-3.0 for aux displays with a decimal point. If the aux display includes a decimal point, multiply the reading by 20 and subtract 1. Pressure will be displayed as 1/10 of actual. If the aux display does not have a decimal point, multiply the reading by 2 and subtract 1. Pressure will be displayed as actual, in units of PSI. (There is a little more text there that I left out, but it doesn't seem it gives the exact number) I believe my offset was set at 47. So while you may be able to get the SF set, I think you have to calculate the Offset on your individual sensor. The rest is my other post....just without the "do not arkive" thing on the end. ------ Those numbers should be on a sheet that came with the sensor.

    From: "John Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    Barry your point is dead on. Many do not understand the urgency to inspect (within 5) and to continue to inspect (every 25) until compliance (at the very next Conditional). A misread could have major impact. Share the word! Few are getting to the root of the cause. Hopefully it was due to a unique one of a kind, build situation. What is most important is not allowing this alarming crack to become anything more than a simple patch. Stay safe. Tim could best track those who have completed it and confirm if more than a single aircraft was affected. Sharing of what is being found at Conditionals is of value to every single 10 builder. This group is great at the sharing.

    Subject: Re: SB 08-6-1 Inspection
    I may be missing the point of everyone sending in hours and no structural crack reports and although this may be a great idea let's remember the Van's plane saw this at 500 hours with much of those hours for transition training. I sure would not expect many of us to see anything for a few more hundred hours, and if it's mostly straight and level with little stall and landing (hard at that) practice maybe not until 600-750 or more hours. I mentioned this before, Van's rarely sends parts out to us to strengthen what they consider a weakness in the design, so this must be a serious concern for the engineers at Van's. Is it going to take a plane to have a structural issue for us to heed their SB sooner than later? -------------------------------------------------- From: "Bruce Lane" <bruce_a_lane@hotmail.com> Sent: Sunday, June 15, 2008 10:35 AM Subject: RE: RV10-List: SB 08-6-1 Inspection > > N662G > 97 hours TTSN > First Flight = November 2007 > No cracks or other signs of fatigue found > > Bruce lane > Virginia Beach, VA > > > ---- Barry Marz <blalmarz@embarqmail.com> wrote: >> >> There are quite a few threads on this SB.

    From: "John Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    N220RV is a structural issue, hence their providing a SB. It had far fewer hours on the airframe, than on N410RV. They are not about to admit the material thickness might be spec'ed too thin or the "heat treatment" post fabrication was incorrect. For those who have not yet installed F1010, there are several things that could be done to reduce the likelihood of a similar crack developing. For those who have finished, 5/25/next Conditional should be the mantra. Some may remember the post months ago about cracks in an initial fabricated piece and the words from the factory to just file it, build it and "forgetaboutit". Don't hear that on this crack...do we? If they want reinspections every 25 hours and the crack propagated this far (since the last Conditional), you know it showed some time ago and got missed. So do the inspection but don't "forgetaboutit". And remember "Didn't find the crack Yet, will keep looking!"

    I don't have the sheet in front of my but Tim's info sounds right. I was simply providing my settings. They may or may not work for you; My initial fuel sender used these numbers and after a couple of hours failed. GRT was great and shipped me another one immediately and coincidently it used the same OFF calibration.

    Subject: pre stall buffet
    As I have worked the approach speeds lower, I believe I am getting pre stall buffeting. During the test period my approaches were at 80 kts and half flaps and 75 kts over the numbers in the flare. I did not notice a vibration in the tail and/or flaps on the left side. Recently I have gone to half flaps and 70 kts on short final and into the flare. I feel a slight vibration in the controls prior to touchdown. Since I have been flying it was imprudent to turn my head to look at the left rear of the aircraft. Anyone else have a similar experience? I plan to get my flying partner to land tthe airplane while I observe the rear of the aircraft.

    Subject: IO540 need an engine?
    I wish this had been around when I was looking for an engine! I used to leave in the town over from Ly-Con and they are a great outfit. It would certainly be worth asking about when it was overhauled and who's providing the warranty, but I would jump at this in a heartbeat (and no they don't know me and there's no kickback, unfortunately). I worked with a couple guys from Ly-Con on my Skybolt's IO-540 when I did a top overhaul and learned a lot of good things about them. One final caveat, my experience was in 1998 so things may have changed.

    What stall speed did you derive in your flight testing with full flaps, at gross? I see Van's claims 57mph. How about straight ahead stall speed coordinated with half flaps?

    You may want to do some more stall testing at altitude to see what it's really doing. Being in ground effect should really change any buffet sensations in my opinion. FWIW I don't get any buffet at any flap configuration prior to the stall horn which comes on just prior to the stall.

He had looked forward to meeting many of us again at OSH, which is where I first met him about 3 or 4 seasons ago. He was a very friendly person, and I believe he did some good humanitarian work in other countries for many people. He talked of all of his American RV friends with great fondness. He was also a mentor to some of the other builders in West Australia. His passing was not aviation related. While I have no details, the way it was put to me was "unfortunately Indran was suffering with depression unbeknown to all his friends in our local town". I'm sure he probably did not realize what a loss his fellow builders would feel. -- Tim Olson

    Tim - I did not know. I really don't know what to say. I'm sure most, (if not all) of the -10 community in Australia has had some interaction with Indran. Always positive, always constructive and always willing to help - he will be missed. The Oz -10 community is small and close-nit indeed. A very sad day for us here.

    Sad news. Very sad news. Any way we can jointly send a message to his family? Might help a little. John -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Tim Olson Indran Chelvanayagam, has unfortunately passed.

    Subject: pre stall buffet
    Last week we recalibrated our AOA which required stalls clean and dirty. At 2400 lbs, 3000' DA , clean was at 62 KIAS, Dirty was 54KIAS. Approaching at 70 with the flaps down shouldn't be anywhere close to a stall, but Marcus is right, you should do some more testing at altitude. Dave Saylor AirCrafters LLC 140 Aviation Way Watsonville, CA 831-722-9141 831-750-0284 CL www.AirCraftersLLC.com _____ From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of David McNeill Sent: Sunday, June 15, 2008 3:39 PM Subject: RV10-List: pre stall buffet As I have worked the approach speeds lower, I believe I am getting pre stall buffeting. During the test period my approaches were at 80 kts and half flaps and 75 kts over the numbers in the flare. I did not notice a vibration in the tail and/or flaps on the left side. Recently I have gone to half flaps and 70 kts on short final and into the flare. I feel a slight vibration in the controls prior to touchdown. Since I have been flying it was imprudent to turn my head to look at the left rear of the aircraft. Anyone else have a similar experience? I plan to get my flying partner to land tthe airplane while I observe the rear of the aircraft.

    I am not so sure about the placement of those vents. I think that they might fall more easily under the panel lower flange -------- OSH '08 or Bust (busted) be there in &quot;09 Q/B Kit - exited cabin top/door purgatory Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=188063#188063
