Monster retreads are not available in the size we need for the -10,
so the ones I have are High Performance Retreads. Our size is
specific: 15-6.00-6
So far, the retreads are working out well, but personally I think
they're far from built as nicely as a new pair of goodyears. Mine
were built on goodyear bases, but the tread wasn't applied perfectly
straight and consistent. other than having a lot of weight to
balance one of the 2 tires out, and the crooked tread, I haven't
noticed a big problem in their use.....I just won't do it again
though as I'd rather pay more and have something closer to
perfection.

| Subject: | Re: Removal of u/c brackets from QB fuselage |
I'm doing the same thing. I removed one of them already and got one more to go.
After much cursing I managed to get the mount past the fuselage bulkhead that's
in the way and then it just came out.
What I'm worried about though is how do I torque those bolts. My monstrous torque
wrench will not fit in there. Is it OK to torque them with the torque wrench
on the bolt side instead of the nut side? It looked as if the phillippinos did
not bother torquing them. Some got lose very easily...
The bolts looked pretty whacked by the time they came out, so I replaced all of
them. All bolts and nuts cost about $20

Here's the info... I installed both Oil Filter Adapter and SD-20.
Jay
You will need the 1.4" spacer kit (FK502-1.4) $50.00 for the OFA and the
.75" spacer kit (FK710-.75) $90.00 for the SD-20.

I did miss the race at Indy but watched the highlights. Yae, Goodyear really blew
it there. (pun intended)
I do plan on using retreads in the future but did not want to put them on the stock
tires. My plan is to have a couple of Goodyear bases I can send out and have
done.
But the way these things are wearing I feel like I'm going to get 3 times the wear
that my stock tires had.
Dan Checkoway recommended a retread in the link below that he has been very happy
with.
http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t 784&highlight=tire
I have always been a firm believer that you get what you pay for and have wondered
if anyone out there has had any bad experiences with them?
It sure seems like 90% of the aviation community use them though. I just don't
want to be away from my airport and have a tire separate. The savings might
be $200 every 400 hours of flying by going with a retread and if there is a 5%
greater risk of having an issue it just isn't worth it to me.
I am still new to the RV compared to many and new to flying as much cross country
as I have been doing and I just don't know alot about retreads and their quality.
I do know that I sure am dodging them alot on my motorcycle. I unfairly
associate the two.
With the Goodyears if I do have a problem, those two guys in the blimp will see
the issue and send out a tire right away. Pretty cool customer service. (If
you haven't seen their commercial you won't get that one)
With Tim on one set and me on another it will be a good comparison.
Speaking of Dan Checkoway, today is a free day for me in California and I might
fly over to Chino and check out the museum.
I believe that Chino is his home airport. http://www.planesoffame.org/
BTW: On my most recent flight I did drop the air pressure in my left main by 1/4
psi to free it up in the corners J/K

You threw out the names, but you must not have watched the NASCAR race at Indy

laps or the tires would blow! Just a little ribbing.
Info on oil changes; on our catamaran, we have twin volvo diesels, and when I
change either the oil or fuel filters, I slip a
freezer bag all the way over the filter. Usually no mess at all.

I've never had ANY issues with the retreads ..... either on my car or my
airplane. The only discernible difference is the way the sidewalls
look. I've never been concerned with whether the grooves were true or
not .... so no data there. I wear them out and replace them.

Quantifying the risk is almost impossible (unless you're Rick Sked :-)
) but I've not heard of any problems at all with retreads.

Almost 99% of the tire debris on the highway is truck tires ..... and
they destroy themselves due to low tire pressure that's missed by the
trucker. There are, of course, blowouts on cars ..... but I doubt that
they take care of their tires like you do.

That was a good one!

Not really ..... tire wear is all about how you land, and what you land
on. And comparisons are only good over the long term ..... too many
variables.

How far away from other devices should it be mounted? Preferred location? Is 2.25"

One thing to consider when mounting a compass in the instrument panel is
how close it is to the steel joysticks. Be sure when you swing the
compass that you do so with the sticks in the level flight attitude,
because it will certainly be different with the sticks all the way back,
all the way forward, or at full aileron deflection. I found this out
when I built my Pietenpol Air Camper - with a wooden structure I was
amazed how much influence the stick position has on compass indications.
This is why old Waco biplanes had a wooden stick that looked like a
baseball bat.

I put mine right in the middle of the mix.......will only really need it if
the entire world (Alt, Stby Alt, battery and emergency battery) all go tango
uniform.....and thus it is affected when everything is powered up....not to
bad with the airplane is shut down.
If I had to do it again.....I would not include the compass. I have two
magnetometers, that is back up enough. Also the ADI has GPS track......

I don't get it--you move the oil filter back 1.4 inches and then move the alternator
back 0.75 of that 1.4 inches?
And after speding $700 on the SD-20 you also need to spend $90 on the 3/4" spacer
for it? Do you still need the 3/4" spacer for the SD-20 with a 2.5" oil filter
spacer?
Got any pictures of your install? I'm holding out hope that Plane Power will come
out with a vacuum pad alternator. I haven't decided if I will have a second
alternator initally.

You may have to get them custom made if you want the round doughnuts. I
think he labels are color specific for the grade of fuel. IMHO you'd be
better off with a small label that's got the basics ..... type of fuel
and capacity. You need a label that will stand up to UV .... my
homemade ones didn't, and I've been looking.

Jay,
Looking at your pictures below, it seems that the SD-20 would clear the oil filter
adapter without the 3/4" spacer. Did you try the fit of the SD-20 without
the 3/4" spacer?
http://www.brinkmeyers.net/Photos/Aircraft/Engine/images/hpim0066.jpg
http://www.brinkmeyers.net/Photos/Aircraft/Engine/images/hpim0078.jpg
Also in the picture below you have two solenoids on your firewall. One looks like
the starter and the other looks like a--master? Do you have the cable from
your battery in the rear "always hot" to the firewall mounted master or is this
for something else?

>>> The spacer is needed. Nope, it's not cheap (can you say airplane?).
Also in the picture below you have two solenoids on your firewall. One looks like
the starter and the other looks like a--master?
>>> The S701-2 XFeed contactor is just to the left of the S702-1 starter contactor
in the photo (see attached pdf schematic).
Do you have the cable from your battery in the rear "always hot" to the firewall
mounted master or is this for something else?
>>> Wires to the Xfeed contactor are only hot if the associated battery contactor
is engaged thus allowing connection to the battery.

a minimum. Even there it is hard to get these sensitive devices to a reasonable
calibration.

| Subject: | Rivethead-Aero door pins - installation time saver |
Just worked on my door-open warning system yesterday with my electronics guru and
RV10 builder "Nick" from Sacramento. Nick pointed out the it is very difficult
to get the magnets in the system to activate the little magnetic switches
in the door frame at a 90 degree angle as shown in the Vans door kit plans. The
smaller magnets in the Rivethead-Aero door pins may not activate the little
magnetic switches at that 90 degree angle. I had to put the magnetic switches
pointing directly at the Rivethead-Aero door pins to get them activated. The magnetic
switches need to be mounted on the skin pointing dead at the door pins
- then they work fine. Nick probably saved me 5 hours of craziness figuring this
out... :D :D :D :D :D :D

First, I would like to publically thank Bob, Gary, Michael, and Tim for
coordinating the RV-10 HQ Campsite at Airventure this year. Without the
efforts of these gentlemen (Brenda, Susan, and Andrea too) we wouldn't have
had the great experience we all had this year.
I know that I came away much more knowledgeable about the tasks in front of
me after talking with these gentlemen and the others that hung out at the
RV-10 HQ campsite. I find the camp site much more educational than most of
the forums.
Unfortunately, my wife and I were late on Friday and didn't get a chance to
meet all the new folks that only made it to Friday's dinner. Friday night
got a little crazy for us. While attempting to listen to Lt. Dan's Band, we
got calls from our son who was stranded by United at O'hare on his way home
from Ellsworth AFB and our daughter upset that her band camp got canceled
due to a rabid bat being found in one of their cabins. Things worked out
well, even though it was hectic for a little while.
Janice and I had to bug out early for a 7:30 breakfast on Saturday. I
ended up getting a 5th place Web Editor award for our chapter's web site
that I just put up a couple weeks before the show. For those that we didn't
get to say goodbye, both Janice and I enjoyed meeting everyone. Hopefully
we'll get to do it all over again next year!
I've put a zip file with pictures from Saturday's dinner on my web site.
The site isn't officially online, but if you use the exact url, you should
be able to retrieve the files.
www.buckeyeaero.com/RV10SaturdayDinne.zip It's a little over 6megs in
size.
Bob & Janice

Gary,
if you pick a font and give me the specific circle diameters you want in
the decal I can cut one for you. I make decals on my plotter for my other
job and can easily make you exactly what you want. pay for the stamp and you
can have it...
