    Subject: Hartzell ASC II prop test, Windows, fuel servo line
    Rob, how much Hysol did you end up using? Did you use it on the windscreen also? Michael From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@m atronics.com] On Behalf Of RobHickman@aol.com Sent: Monday, June 23, 2008 1:34 PM Subject: RV10-List: Hartzell ASC II prop test, Windows, fuel servo line 1. Hartzell Prop The three blade composite prop for the IO-540 should be shipping from Hartz ell this week. The current plan is for me to fly to Oshkosh (yes, this year ) with the three blade prop on the RV-10. The test data that I have seen s hows that the plane should accelerate and climb better with the prop and sh ould only be a couple of kts slower in cruise. Dan Benua's local RV-10 has the same engine and ignition as mine so we should be able to compare the p erformance of the two props, although my RV-10 will be heavier. 2. Window Installation I installed the windows in this weekend using Hysol from Lancair http://www .aerocraftparts.com/ItemForm.aspx?item=9360-QT This stuff works awesome and in my opinion is the only way to install the w indows. It is thick so it does not run all over, has a pot life of 1 hou r, and when you get it on the windows it wipes off using Colman lantern fl uid. It also does not eat into the window causing the cracking where the clamps were. I drilled #40 holes around the edge of the window (not throug h the window) and then used wing nut cleco's to hold the window in while th e Hysol cured. 3. Fuel pump to servo hose. The standard fuel line routing from Van's shows the 90 deg fitting on the f uel pump and the straight on the servo, this causes the fuel line to get cl oser than I like to the exhaust. I found that if you reverse the line and put the 90 on the fuel servo you have tons of clearance with the exhaust. Rob Hickman N402RH RV-10 Almost Flying ________________________________

    Subject: Section 40 Flap System and Mid Cabin Deck
    We just finished section 40 last night, installing the Flap Systems, and I thought I would write up my experiences to hopefully save some of you the time and frustrations that my wife and I endured while I created all sorts of new cuss words installing the flap torque tubes. 1). It=92s probably obvious to everyone but me but make sure ALL your #12 and =BC holes are drilled in the flap torque tubes allow for easy bolt insertion / removal before you get half the darn thing installed in the airplane. The location of the AN4 bolts between the F-1016 side panel and the outboard fuse skin is a real challenge if things don=92t line up all that well. It seems the pieces shift ever so slightly after drilling for the horns on the bench then disassemble / reassemble in the plane. 2). If I were building a second plane I would seriously consider waiting to rivet the F-1015C-R&L=92s (Mid Cabin Decks) for as long as possible. They restrict your access down between the F-1016 side panels and the outboard fuse skin and you have so much stuff to complete in this 3 inch wide area. I would think that a ton of clecos would line the piece up enough that it shouldn=92t cause things to be off in the end. I remember thinking several times now during the build it would be nice if this mid cabin deck wasn=92t riveted. In the plans these are riveted in place in Sec 29. 3). Avoid creating a new 1/16=94 ' safety wire hole in your finger like I did when drilling one for the jam nut on the flap motor. It provides no useful benefit for your build. -Ben #40579 PDX

    I also used Hysol for all windows, including the windscreen. It took about 1/2 qt. for all. Used it for the naca air vents also, in place of proseal. Jim Berry 40482 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=189605#189605

    I used the Hysol as well. I did all of the windows, as well as the windscreen and used probably about 3/4 of the quart kit. I'll echo Rob's comments, it's nice and thick and the pot life was enough to do 2 windows at a time with no rush.

    Subject: Alternator belt
    Anyone know the actual length of the alternator belt to suit the standard alternator as supplied by Vans? I was supplied a standard belt at 37.6" (Korean made 37A19773-376) but I'm guessing the maximum I can use is around 32-33''? I know this was mentioned recently as a Gates number 7365 XL110925 but when I mention these numbers around here I get blank looks. Do these numbers somehow equate to the length of belt? Any clues appreciated John 40315

    Subject: Section 40 Flap System and Mid Cabin Deck
    Thanks for all the cheers of support. I've remained band aid free and have not donated any blood for 40 sections now. This one bit me 3 separate times. I am missing a patch of skin on my thumb from the drill motor after the bit stuck while drilling out the torque tubes. Of course the 1/16" hole for safety wire. I also burned my index finger pretty good picking up a spacer that shot across the room after thinning it down on the scotch brite wheel. I was starting to worry that I'd never become an official RV builder. I have knocked over a tray of rivets but it was nearly empty. maybe 20 or so.

    Subject: Alternator belt
    Thanks Fred, I'm gathering that the 2355 number represents 35.5" approx and therefore maybe the Gates number 7365 is 36.5". These would still be too big as my bolt is at its maximum and I reckon the distance around is closer to 32.5" The ring gear is a 10" standard as far as I can tell.

    Subject: No weld seat adjustment extension
    Since I am welding challenged I had to think of a different way to lengthen my seat adjustment T handles. I found that a 7/16" x .065 wall 6061-T6 rigid tube worked almost perfectly. Cut the tube to the length you want and drill out one end with a 5/16" drill to about 1/2" and tap the other end with 5/16-24 tap. Cut off the head of an approximately AN5-10 bolt. Push the unthreaded end of the bolt into the T handle and match drill the 1/8" hole on the drill press. Pound the roll pin into the T handle and that part is done. Thread the T handle on to the tube. On the other end of the tube measure 1/4" from the end and center punch the mark. Drill the 1/8" hole through one side and then line up the hole with the plunger assembly hole and drill through. Be careful to keep the T-handle lined up properly with the base. Put an 1/8" roll pin and its done. The thread depth on the inside of the tube is less than optimal but I was unable to pull the T handle out of the tube using all my strength. Maybe one of you Charlie Atlas types can. If it bugs you drill it for another roll pin.

    Can somebody get me the measurement from the wing tie-down points to the floor? I've had it on my "to do" list to get a set of wing jacks but am out of town at the moment and would like to get them ordered. Thanks. Bob N442PM (flying)
