I used coolmat on the firewall side only due to thinking about tunnel heat
problems however the tunnel does not even get warm so maybe it was not
needed . It is winter out here though. I also got rid of those huge heat
muffs that are on the exhausts and just put standard rap around muf saving
at least a couple of Kilos up the front and some perfomance improvement
maybe. Again thinking of tunnel heat which may or may not be a problem to
sum.

Any chance anyone has heard if Rob is going to add a flight path marker to

this is a big item in an EFIS.
We are currently working on it and it will be in a future release. You
should consider adding the following to your list of EFIS manufacturer
glaring holes:
1. AOA that work properly with the flaps up and down and can be used to fly
an approach.
2. Battery backup so that when your master switch or battery contactor fails
you still have an EFIS.
3. Airspace data that is actually updated on the web site every 28 days, for
free.
4. An AHRS that works if and when you lose pitot or gps.
We got back yesterday from Oshkosh in our RV-10 and it now has 61 hours on
it, the more I fly it the more impressed I am with it. The weather,
traffic, built in oxygen, large moving map display, autopilot, and all that
room make it amazingly comfortable to fly on long trips.

We have installed Kool Mat from Aircraft Spruce. Not flying yet, so
can't report on it. It is pretty heavy stuff, but that is probably a
good thing in our case since we have the air conditioner behind the
baggage compartment.

Hi Everyone,
Every website I posted on and I sent the letters to Flight Design have people
speaking up in support. I have received dozens of emails in support and that is
just since last night.
One voice will dye, but thousands may be heard.
Everyone,
Don't sit ideally and complain. 1-2 minutes of your time is all anyone is asking.
It's your future and your time to offer your hand in a worthwhile effort to
help shape it. Do it for yourself if not for anyone else.

According to the Lycoming folks at OSH, they're pushing for an ATSM 93
octane mogas standard. We'll see what comes of it, but I'm lead to
believe the legislative exemption that allows the use of leaded fuel in
airplanes expires in 2010. Supposedly the EPA is interested getting the
ball rolling on an alternative fuel that doesn't compromise safety,
usability, etc etc. Again, we'll see....

Also from summit racing, I am following Chris Johnson in the use of
Lizardskin spray on insulation. I'll be putting it on both sides of the
firewall. Takes care of the corrosion issues so no need for priming. Pretty
inexpensive when compared to mats.

There is a major difference with how much dependency different AHRS designs
use and how they will perform under different conditions and with the loss of
aiding. The problem is that the MEMS sensors that are used in AHRS designs
drift with temperature, vibration and age. There is a major difference in
how well the different MEMS gyros behave under changing temperature, age and
vibration and is somewhat related to the cost of the sensors. To make an AHRS
that performs well one must understand how the sensors will perform under
these conditions for each AHRS being manufactured. The less accurate the
sensors are and the less predictable their behavior, more aiding is required.
Crossbow puts every one of their sensors through a 12-hour temperature
calibration cycle three different times to map how each sensor performs. Every
AHRS is
calibrated on a dual-axis ovenized rate table (cost $250,000 each) and the
Magnetometer is calibrated using an expensive Helmholtz cage. The same basic
Crossbow AHRS design that we use is also being used in many certified
aircraft and even regulated Air Taxi operations.
I think Rob was mentioning that list because those are things that the AFS
HAS and most/all of the others lack. Either that or he's not much of a

We have had all the items below for a long time.

Tim,
You've brought up something I've been meaning to ask. My brake lines touch the
notch (I'm not a very good tube bender). I've been planning on enlarging the notch
before I close it up. Anything else I should know or avoid?

I find this statement a little strange, although I'm not familiar with the AFS
AoA system. Angle of Attack is Angle of Attack; it doesn't matter if the flaps
are up or down. The stall indication should always be at actual stall. At least
that's true with analog systems. Does the AFS system do something to the raw

This is correct. The 30 year waiver expires in 2010. It's part of a world-wide
treaty banning TEL. To my knowledge, there is only one manufacturer of TEL left,
and it is located somewhere in the UK. The UK has already said they will enforce
the ban, which means that the source will be gone.
The outcome is obvious. They will start filling those AvGas trucks with ordinary
91-93 octane high test (although they might call it something special). Ethanol
is mixed in after manufacture, so there will be a chain-of-control while the
fuel is in transit to ensure it's Ethanol free (assuming the various governments
allow aviation an exemption). Expect to pay plenty for that chain-of control.
You will then be forced to de-rate your engine. I would expect the engine
manufacturers to come out with new horsepower and limitations for their existing
engines. The only real issue will be Takeoff power and Go around. Cruise
should be the same. I guess climb settings might be effected, as well. I guess
the Warbirds at Oshkosh will be a little less impressive to boot.
I've heard that there is a Purdue University group starting a thing called Swiftfuel,
or something like that. It's supposed to be a bio-fuel that can achieve
104 octane - we'll see.
My uneducated guess is that the final solution should be in place by October of
2009, to ensure an uninterrupted supply chain. Whatever the final solution is,
the manufacturers will need to make some kind of commitment before the end of
this year. Have you ever noticed that panic deadlines are the only way Americans

Well, If you need to enlarge it, then great, but you'll
still want to find some grommet material to put on the
edge anywhere near where hoses and wires could touch.
Additionally, with solid lines, you need to make sure
things are not overly rigid. In some applications, like
high pressure air lines, you actually put a service
loop as a strain relieve in the air hose, so that there
is plenty of flex available. That's my main concern
with some of the lines that we have to run with the
kit. If it can flex over a large area, great, but
you don't want any tubing wiggling all in one focused
area....solid tubing, I mean.

At least that's true with analog systems. Does the AFS system do something to
the raw data?
Best approach, L/D max, and the stalling aoa are a function of the airfoil,
if you drop the flaps you change the airfoil shape. Even the Vane based
Rite-Angle AOA systems have flap position inputs.
I have thee different AOA systems in my RV-4 from two different
manufacturers, there is a significant difference in how well they work.

SwiftFuel is a real thing and is currently being evaluated by the FAA for a drop
in replacement of 100LL. It's been developed specifically for 100LL replacement
rather than it being a side benefit. Interestingly the feedstock for it
is Ethanol but it's a synthetic hydrocarbon once the process is complete so
there is no Ethanol remaining. If all the benefits hold true and it can be mass
produced, we will be much better off and it will cost less. There have been
articles in Avweb and other places about it. More info here:

Well, the goal was to have N110DV at OSH this year but we missed it by a
couple of days.
40065 is a pretty much standard airplane with Chelton EFIS and
Flightline interior. The paint is BASF base/clearcoat. We are based at
3BS Midland, MI
I will post the before and after paint&interior weights and CGs in a few
days. Flying the airplane after the paint and interior were added makes
a noticable difference with the CG moving aft.
A couple of minor avionics and interior issues remain and then the
traveling will begin! While this is a totally different airplane than
the RV4 we built it is a ball to fly and as others have noted should be
a very practical cross country machine.

So I'm not trying to start any EFIS wars or anything but I notice that
Dynon has a AOA system:
http://www.dynonavionics.com/docs/D180_Feature_AOA.html
In reading the points below am I'm to believe that the dynon system
doesn't work well with flaps and cannot be used to fly an approach?
Again, I'm not trying to start anything but rather I'm trying to
understand the relative benefits of the AFS AOA vs the Dynon AOA.
Perhaps Rob, or someone else, can shed some light here.

We are currently working on it and it will be in a future release. You
should consider adding the following to your list of EFIS manufacturer
glaring holes:
1. AOA that work properly with the flaps up and down and can be used to
fly an approach.
2. Battery backup so that when your master switch or battery contactor
fails you still have an EFIS.
3. Airspace data that is actually updated on the web site every 28 days,
for free.
4. An AHRS that works if and when you lose pitot or gps.
We got back yesterday from Oshkosh in our RV-10 and it now has 61 hours
on it, the more I fly it the more impressed I am with it. The weather,
traffic, built in oxygen, large moving map display, autopilot, and all
that room make it amazingly comfortable to fly on long trips.

Hi,
I am to the point of setting the rivets from the root rib to the gusset and can't
seem to come up with a good way of doing it. The plans say to rivet the root
rib to the rear spar first. I did that but the thing is so tight that I can't
get a set straight on the manufactured head either with a squeezer or rivet
gun. I have the manufactured head on the outside.
If I take out the 3/32 rivets connecting the rear spar to the root rib it would
give me a little more room but not sure if it would be enough.
Maybe I'm not seeing something.
Thanks for any help in advance,
Bill

After looking at it again with better lighting I found that with trying all sorts
of angles of holding the squeezer I was able to get it. The set on the squeezer
did have to ride the edge of the spar but I got two nice shop heads. A
little primer touch up where the set rubbed and I'll call that step done.

Current avgas has exactly the same chain of control. There are other
solutions, just each have technical issues. MTBE for example is around 104
octane, but any leaks contaminate soil and water very easily. ETBE is even
higher octane, a bit more costly and presumably less of environmental
problem. (MTBE is derived from methanol, ETBE from ethanol). Current avgas,
minus the TEL can be blended to 96 octane, which is okay for all but
turbocharged engines. The IO-540 used in the RV-10 with 8.5 compression will
be fine with anything over 91 octane as it was originally certified on
91/96, just like the O-360 with same compression. So main issue is getting
suppliers and FBOs to agree with ASTM as to what the standard is going to
be. As has been mentioned before, Lycoming is close to having a FADEC system
that will incorporate knock sensing and timing adjustment.

Looks great Dick!
So are you happy with the paint shop? I talked with them when they were
here in Columbus last fall. They seemed like great people. They helped me
get a very nice insurance settlement on my Cherokee.
I was heading home on Saturday, when I realized I hadn't seen you or your
plane. I was really looking forwarded to seeing it. If you head down to
any of the Ohio RVators UFO, please let me know. I want to make sure to be
there to see your great looking RV-10.

Rob,
You are correct but flaps do more that change the shape of the wing. They change
the angle of incidence. The part of the wing out at the ailerons is actually
moved to a lower angle of attack due to that change. That's why the tail (behind
the flaps) will stall first with washout. The wing is still flying and the
ailerons are too. I think the key here is Absolute AoA versus Geometric AoA.
If systems are making corrections to AoA, then they must be using some kind of
a Geometric AoA. A stall vane that measures nothing but the Absolute AoA will
indicate the exact same angle at stall for flaps up or flaps down.
I am not an expert so I'm sure somebody out there will make a better case. My original
bewilderment was about the statement that the AFS system AoA is not fully
usable with the flaps in a certain position.

Hey Dick,
VERY nice!
Any thoughts about my earlier comment on clear coating more than one color? To
state it again, I understand that the clear is supposed to be applied from 40
min to 2hrs. after the color is applied in order to get a good bond between the
color and clear -- otherwise the clear can peel off in a couple of years.
I've base/cleared urethane several cars over the years with great results, but
never tri color, stripes etc. So I'm wondering if they waited for the color to
dry enough to tape, second color and more time/tape, stripes, etc. THEN cleared?
Or if they cleared each color as they went? That would be really time consuming
and tough to blend the clear without showing the seams.
Later, - Lew

I just use the LSE only for tach....I skipped hooking the mag
in at all. You can hear by ear if it drops a lot of RPM,
and you can see it on the multi-bar bar-graphs if the temps
start to drop or rise. So there's no real worry to just
have one as long as you listen carefully.

According to several engine manufacturs if you have standard pistons 8.5:1 you
can run 92 MOGAS all day long. I've been burning it for years.

Yes, but it's giving up a good diagnostic tool, and backup. I sure wish
there was a way to have two tach sources.

I used House of Colors paint on my RV8. I applied the base coat a few weeks before
the graphics artist could get to the plane. It took him 5 months of part
time evening painting to get the graphics on the airplane. After he finished,
I applied the clear coat. It took 3 days to put the clear coat on the airplane.
1 day to do the fuselage and 1 day to do the wings. One more day was used
to paint the small pieces. The norm for putting the clear coat on is usually
24 hours. The graphics artist told me a light scuffing will provide enough
grit for the clear coat to attach. After 7 years and 820 hours, the paint is
still a 10 with no hint of clear coat lifting. You can see the paint process
on my web site. I plan on painting my RV10 with the same process.

Sam,
I'm not sure if this is what you're after, but here is a schematic to get
two tach signals into a single input so you can do a mag check and see the
actual indicated RPM.
If you need to convert the LSE signal to something the EIS can handle, I'm
sure either vendor can help you out there.
