First, I apologize for my computer clock going whacko ..... warranty
must have run out. I need to check before sending emails.
From the archives, I found that the Vans fiberglass parts use epoxy
resin. I'd like to confirm that or I'll call Vans tomorrow.

There are several RV-10 folks with the B&C angled oil filter adapter and SD-20
combo. Specific problem is that the oil filter adapter requires a spacer to provide
clearance from the engine mount. When that is done the filter adapter
interferes with the body of the SD-20 alternator. B&C has a package "kit" for
that situation. The kit includes replacement studs for the vacuum pad, a spacer
for the SD-20, 2 gaskets and a replacement shear coupling for the SD-20.
It's a bit of a pain when the engine is already installed but pretty easy if not
yet hung.
I'm very happy with my install of the above but frankly if I was doing it again,
I'd look hard at a remote oil filter instead. While the angled filter gives
you better access than the stock setup, the remote filter would be a HUGE leap
forward. You add complexity, fittings, hoses, weight, etc. with the remote
solution but in the end I suspect the price is about the same (angled oil filter
adapter + SD-20 spacer kit together about equal to a remote solution) and access
would be even better. There is a lot of space available on the lower right
portion of the firewall for a remote oil filter mount.

The white, gel coated parts (wing tips and tips for the empenage) are polyester
resin. The cabin top, doors, cowl, empenage fairing, wheel pants and gear leg
fairings are epoxy resin. You can use epoxy with either, polyester can be used
only with the polyester resin parts.

Bob, I know we had this conversation at the show. I will be installing
the SD-20 and understand that the stock oil filter mount probably
works. But most people seem intent on replacing the stock mount with a
90degree bracket or remote bracket.
Can any of you flyers with the stock mount comment on the servicability
of the stock location and the desirability of an alternative?
BTW, those of you preparing to discuss this with B&C - I talked to Bill
during the show about the problem with the SD-20 and the 90degree
mount. He professed total ignorance of the problem (?). My guess is
that I wasn't precise enough in describing the conflict... but you'd
think he'd know what I was trying to talk about since they are both his
products. Be prepared for initial denial.
Thanks for the insight here Bob.

Don't know what the magic words are (maybe IO-540 instead of RV-10) but a Colorado
Springs RV-10 builder friend of mine just got the SD-20 spacer stuff from
them about a month ago.

Linn,
The wing and emp tips are vinyl ester. You can tell if they have gel
coat--those are the VE parts. The rest--spinner, cowl, gear fairings, RV-10
top--are epoxy. You can use most epoxy resins over VE but not VE over
epoxy. If you're shopping for resin, Wes or Aeropoxy from Aircraft Spruce
will work fine.

Thanks Bob. I'm comfortable using both, and like to stick with same
stuff. Don't know why, I just do. I have an assortment of resins;
polyester, vinylester, epoxy ....... even stuff they use on pre-preg
..... but I don't really know what it is ..... cures with heat rather
than a catalyst.
As an aside, the polyester and vinylester fiberglass can be re-molded
with judicious application of heat. I don't think the epoxy will become
plastic without destroying it's properties.

Bill,
Having done hundreds of oil changes in the last 25 years, I can tell you
that if keeping the engine clean is important to you, you want the 90 degree
adapter. That's what I have. The remote firewall mounted unit would do an
even better job but I skipped it for cost and weight considerations. Also,
I don't have anything on the vac drive pad.

I know I have posted this in the past but note that Mattituck TMX engines come
standard with a 2.5" spacer with the included angle oil filter adapter. I've
seen installations of the SD-20 on these engines with no interference. Mattituck
offers this separately for $282. You may want to go with the Mattituck 90
degree adapter rather than the B&C adapter since it eliminates the interference
issues and is less expensive. The Mattituck version is PMA'd/STC for $282
where as the uncertified B&C version is $395 + $53 for the 2.5" spacer.

Scott's in California so I'll respond for him:
I just recently replaced my main tires and tubes with Goodyear Flight
Custom III 15/6.00-6 and Leak Guard Tubes 15/6.00-6. I'm not sure about
the difference in size but there is a difference in weight capacity
between a 6.00 and a 6.00-6. So far, so good on the tubes but I have
only had them for one month. The tires are defiantly more beefy.
I bought everything through Desser and received them very quickly.
Tires and tubes is one area where I really didn't mind spending extra
money. My old tires went almost 300 hours and they say the compound on
the Goodyear tires are 20% more wear resistant and the rubber thickness
is quite a bit more. Here is some data that Dresser posts on their
site.

You can get just as much wear, if not more on a standard Desser recap,
and get 2 or 3 tires from the price of one of the GY FCIII tires. The
savings will let you buy fuel for 2-3 hours of flying. ;-)

I spent the weekend studying this on my engine and have come to the
conclusion that I am going to go with the remote oil filter. There is
plenty of room on the lower right firewall, as Bob notes, and a
little extra weight up front might not be such a bad thing for me
since I have the air conditioner in the tailcone. I also know from
experience on the old Bonanza I used to own in a partnership, the
remote mount makes oil and filter changes a breeze.

I purposely did not mention the Monster Retread, as there are issues
when you put more tread on a tire than it started with.
I have been using Desser retreads for almost 15 years on both a Cessna
170 and on a Mooney M20E with no vibration or balance issues. That is
about 4 sets of them. Since both the above aircraft have gear that move
laterally depending on the weight on the gear, it is easy to get more
wear on one side, but never have had to rotate them. Y'all can buy
Goodyear$ or what ever you think is best for you.

I have no comparison to any other tire but it was very obvious that the Goodyears
are wearing much better.
I have to believe that the Goodyear tires have stiffer sidewalls and possibly better
puncher resistance but I have no data on that.
If Goodyear is good enough for Jeff Gordon and Dale Jr., they will be good for
me.

You can get just as much wear, if not more on a standard Desser recap,
and get 2 or 3 tires from the price of one of the GY FCIII tires. The
savings will let you buy fuel for 2-3 hours of flying. ;-)

You threw out the names, but-you must not have watched the NASCAR race at
Indy a couple of weeks ago.--NASCAR had to throw competition yellows e
very 10 to 15 laps or the tires would blow!-- Just a little ribbing.

Info on oil changes;- on our catamaran, we have twin volvo diesels, and w
hen I change either the oil or fuel filters, I slip a freezer bag all the w
ay over the filter.- Usually no mess at all.

I have no comparison to any other tire but it was very obvious that the Goo
dyears are wearing much better.-
I have to believe that the Goodyear tires have stiffer sidewalls and possib
ly better puncher resistance but I have no data on that.-
If Goodyear is good enough for Jeff Gordon and Dale Jr., they will be good
for me.-
