    I could be wrong, but it seems to me that the exhaust pipe is oxidized and exhaust coated stainless steel(not near the top of the list of conductors), connected through joints in the same condition to the engine exhaust ports with a gasket to the cylinders, to the crankcase, and then to your main ground point. My point being that sparks tend to take the shortest path. I prefer to ground to my wing tiedown point, which is attached to the spar that is part of my fuel tank. Maybe it makes no difference, maybe it does. I've seen a lot of starting problems that involved poor ground connections to the engine. Your mileage may vary.

    Hey Guys, I've been wondering about this for awhile and Doug's "I have the Airflow system & my CG is 108.4" on the AC thread prompted me to just ask: Where is this 108.4" measured from? Probably obvious, but I haven't found it yet, and other general literature on COG talks about a reference point somewhere in front of the plane. It seems to be a very critical measurement. So far, I'm still head-down-building, but getting closer to needing to know stuff like this.

    Sean, Don't know if you got any responses or not but we can discuss Thursday night. Bob -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of dogsbark@comcast.net Sent: Saturday, August 16, 2008 10:22 PM Subject: RV10-List: engine cowling I've just started the initial steps of fitting the engine cowling. The directions seem somewhat vague to me. Trimming the opening for the prop was no problem for each separately. When I fit the upper and lower cowl flanges together around the spinner area, I cannot get a good fit while keeping the sides of the cowling aligned with each other. Is this normal? Should I err toward aligning the sides of the cowl halves to each other and filling the inconsistencies in the nose section later? It seems the steps for this initial "nose fitting" is critical to the rest of the process. Thanks for any help. Sean Blair #40225

    Subject: N416EC RV-10 for Sale
    From: "John Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    Sales of RV-10s are an important and an often overlooked part of the total build/ownership consideration. It was interesting that a friend considered making improvements to a Cessna 172 and Vref from AOPA showed the impact of electronics and such things as interior and other cosmetics. His decision was easy - new and modern interior. Unfortunately AOPA does not currently track Amateur Built or Commercially built kit aircraft values... and they should with 30,000. Early in the product life cycle, almost 25% of all completed RV-10s were up for sale. Many languished for months (one N325HP more than a year), others sold in days... It creates a curiosity and a need to share data for the many still in the build. Over 150 are flying, 5% have sustained damage, 2% incurred destruction. The percentage sold has come way down and the values are going UP. The reason for selling plays into price. Whether SBs are complied with impacts final value. Whether the aircraft meets AIGS new Technologically Advanced Aircraft Credits has an impact. Whether the aircraft has sustained repairs. What the paint scheme looks like and also the quality of workmanship. Some aircraft get a push in value if they have received an award from Sun 'N Fun or OSH such as this year's - Robert Gray N410RG. We have a local builder in search of addition partners in a flying RV-10 which has the same identical paint as Wayne Edgerton's striking N602WT. It behooves partners to retain an ability to extricate themselves so as not to burden the value of an aircraft partnership. There is nothing wrong with selling as long as you are not prohibited and the other partner is stuck too. It is much like purchasing a hangar on leased land about to expire. Every now and then one comes along that has a panel so unorthodox or a paint scheme so unique you know that only its mother and loving builder could set an accurate value. The market forces can be far less forgiving. We should all share the dynamics of the market and strive to keep their value kicking the #$&* out of the Piper Comanche's that their engines derived their bloodline from. Stein said it best "If you want to kick #$% - then it's the panel, the paint and the interior that pushes the value over the top". We are getting a lot of great choices out there. Also remember that aircraft brokers make a fair living representing their commission charged, not the sale incurred. Use the web. Communicate openly.

    From: "John Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    Another way is that your CG (empty) is 8.96" aft of the leading edge of your wings (in theory). The usable CG is a dynamic which moves forward and aft from that imaginary point based on your current Load considerations. Tim did a great job talking about aft of Empty CG and Forward of Empty CG changes to the flight characteristics in your hand. Flying forward of 15% or Aft of 30% of the MAC is "Not a good thing". Sean Tucker safely crashed aircraft #3 when he lost the prop and hub which radically changed the Aft CG more than 8" beyond the maximum. Oh by the way, he was on the ground 53 seconds later and he had onboard video of it. Do not try this at home. Many builders relocate or locate components with little regard for their impact on the empty CG. A few builders have announced that they have a left of center/right of center change as well. One builder took exception to why anyone would want to relocate avionics off the panel and remotely mount them. It is all about manipulation of the final empty CG. VAN has designed us a conservative and flexible platform. Those flying can comment more meaningfully on this important issue to insurance rates and flying pleasure.

    >From time to time, I get slapped "offline" for giving too much or too little information to our group. Some just don't want to embrace the acronyms that are a woven part of our professional aviation heritage. AIG is a major insurance underwriter. Those are the guys that inflict the pain or save us money based on our actions. Training, Transition Training and Proficiency Training are topics they love. Now it's the new age glass cockpit. "Technologically Advanced". With it, proper training and proper care and feeding of your RV-10, the day will come where real money is saved. Attached is a primer for those looking to buy an existing aircraft or outfit their pride and joy. This is a personal decision made in consort with your better half, your banker, your life insurance agent and most importantly your valued Avionics Fabricator. Everyone approaches the subject from their own value system. Just food for thought. Deems, it's time we primed the pump for Proficiency Training at OSH '09. I'm still in on the panel idea. <<AIG Technologically Advanced Aircraft Credit Requirements.pdf>> John Cox #600

    John Since you brought up MAC you might need to explain it in better detail and in a e-mail that might be tuff. OK pulling out the old Flight engineer hat for this one. MAC stands for Mean Aero dynamic cord and when referenced, cg is usually a % of the mac. In flying the c-5 for almost 15 yrs our cg ran from 41% of mac for aft cg to 29% of mac for fwd cg. The airplane empty an 397,000 lbs was usually at 39% of mac. And remember this does not include any fuel, crew, baggage, or cargo. It really is just a math calculation to figure it out. WG is still based on weight x arm for the moment then added together and referenced to the appropriate table to insure your in the cg envelope for your flight conditions. I have nod sat down and plotted the cg envelope for the -10 but I will and I will make a spread sheet and reference diagram that I will share with everyone. This brings up another issue I have seen on the list about when people weigh there plane. I think people do not understand what is required to get the basic airplane weight. The basic weight of the plane, Is the airplane with zero fuel, Engine with full oil as called out in the engines service manual. It the manufacture states 12 qts then there needs to be 12 qts in the oil system. No accessories in the plane, no head sets, tow bars, maps, or any pilots accessories, just the basic airplane. The airplane needs to be perfectly level on both axes vertical and horizontal, this is very critical to get accurate weights. The manufactures maintenance manual will give you the level points. Once these conditions are met then you can get a good weight and figure out the arm and moments then your basic empty weight cg. >From what I have seen with the large variance of numbers that have been posted here, It looks to me there needs to be some re-weighting that needs to be done very carefully.

The usable CG is a dynamic which moves forward and aft from that imaginary point based on your current Load considerations. Tim did a great job talking about aft of Empty CG and Forward of Empty CG changes to the flight characteristics in your hand. Flying forward of 15% or Aft of 30% of the MAC is "Not a good thing". Sean Tucker safely crashed aircraft #3 when he lost the prop and hub which radically changed the Aft CG more than 8" beyond the maximum. Oh by the way, he was on the ground 53 seconds later and he had onboard video of it. Do not try this at home. Many builders relocate or locate components with little regard for their impact on the empty CG. A few builders have announced that they have a left of center/right of center change as well. One builder took exception to why anyone would want to relocate avionics off the panel and remotely mount them. It is all about manipulation of the final empty CG. VAN has designed us a conservative and flexible platform. Those flying can comment more meaningfully on this important issue to insurance rates and flying pleasure.

Probably obvious, but I haven't found it yet, and other general literature on COG talks about a reference point somewhere in front of the plane. It seems to be a very critical measurement.

    David, thanks for the contribution. I am interested in which Cleveland numbers Tim James went with to significantly improve his braking on the RV-10 as well.

    The Excel spreadsheet has been done and is in the Matronics archives (Tim and I have them as well). The weighing process is as you describe but many builders do not achieve balanced nirvana on the vertical and horizontal. Many are casual with the scale accuracy as well. Many weigh the aircraft Sans wheel skirts and fairings to get a beginning weight for the DAR. Those items come later in the Phase One completion (and may never be updated). VAN has designed the airfoil of the wing and established the minimum and maximum MAC as you describe. Rob Hickman's AFS Efis even allows a graphic presentation for up to the minute/up to the flight Weight and Balance changes. The large variance of numbers is due to/but not limited to avionics choices, trim servos, body putty on the composite pieces, size of battery and quality of fire suppression and noise suppression materials. All that up to each builder. What you left off is the aircraft being weighed needs to be out of the wind and elements to truly get a correct reading. If a DAR blows off the importance of an accurate list or proper weighing it is in the hands of the individual builder. If we are building... we should sure know what M.A.C. is. Note: When buying an aircraft. Have your Pre-purchase inspection include a Weight and Balance as part of the agreement. Takeoff 5% of the price for every 1% of weight variance and watch the seller squirm. If the Gross Weight is over the VAN approved RV-10 weight, take another 5% for every 1% of weight that is over limit without full FAA spin testing. Watch how quick the ink erasers come out. Though Dan Checkoway's weight table has fewer submittals than mine, his is easy to read and understand.

    Subject: Safety First - Single Engine Kit Built Aircraft
    From: "John Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    The following post is a retype from another forum this morning which might have value to RV-10 pilots (and builders wanting affordable insurance). I am acknowledging up front that it involves High Performance Plastic aircraft (more than 205 hp). There is a kernel of wisdom and knowledge buried there if you take the time to read. My apology for those who break out in hives and suffer heart palpitations at the discussion of other aircraft makes and model. "I agree with your comments regarding the accidents our group has been experiencing. With one exception, XXXXXXX accident pilots in the last 12 months are very low time in TYPE - one gentleman only owned the aircraft for a day while several others owned the plane for a month. Many had no XXXXXXX specific training from recognized XXXXXXX instructors. Over 40% of the XXXXX accidents involve pilots with less than 200 hours in type. The poor GA accident record is a reflection of many factors including the lack of good initial and recurrent training and is not unique to XXXXXXXX -- it is endemic in General Aviation. You only have to read the daily faa.gov accident list to see the large numbers of pilots who run off the runway on takeoff or landing (over half of all accidents). I frequently review accident reports where the accident pilot had not flown with an instructor on years -- much less the required flight review every 24 months. Why are these pilots reluctant to get good training? Cost? Availability? Schedule? Ego? If we as a group do not turn around our accident rate no one will be able to insure a XXX or XXX or turbine for any price (much less the 1000 hour pilot with a private pilot certificate and 100 hours in complex) and most importantly we will continue to lose good friends and associates in this business. As I said at Oshkosh, we have to start acting like professional pilots and insist our brethren do so likewise." -Written by a kit builder/former Naval Accident Investigator and current GA investigator speaking at OSH '08. This is a great time to help our friends and plan for OSH '09. Runway incursions and communications are a whole other topic. John Cox #600 Do not Archive Practice some common sense

    This is partly my fault as I have not finished testing either prop for them ; it was just too hot to fly it against Dan's RV-10 over the weekend here in Oregon. Hartzell will not sell a prop until it is approved by the aircraft manufacturer and Van's will not approve the prop until they get test data f rom it. To get a reasonable price on the Harzell prop you are going to have to get it with an OEM agreement, and that means from Van's. Getting performance data to Hartzell and Van=99s is at the top of my list for the RV-4 and RV-10. Hopefully, I=99ll have data to them this week. I currently have over 70 hours on the prop in my RV-10 and I would not trad e it for anything. Jennifer and I flew it to Van=99s home coming on S aturday and as soon as I shut it down we had a number of people telling me how quie t it was when we taxied in. We flew our neighbor (who has built aircraft engines for years) home with us in the RV-10, and he was amazed at how smoo th and quiet the plane was with this prop. In my opinion, Hartzell is being very responsible for taking this stand and we should give them the credit that they deserve.

I am probably going to take the plunge before end of the month with the "sale" price. What I am interested in is any type of paper work or user manuals, break-in procedure etc. etc. Also does anyone have the specs on the magnetos, engine fuel pump, starter, etc...those items actually included with the engine. And can any of these items be switched out or left off? Thanks Chris Lucas #40072 Finishing...hah!

    you mean to tell me you didn't send the brackets too? I would be interested in seeing how they turn out for you so take pictures. I should get Lew's list around the same time I receive the CS so as soon as I have both I mail it off to Charles. Thanks for sending out the CS.

By the way, I had my brothers shop punch out some brackets to hold the front belts up to the canopy when not in use. Pics attached. They're stainless. I can punch out any quantity, so for postage and $5.... let me know. Plan is to micro-balloon 2 nutplates into the canopy.

    Subject: Re: FW: need part numbers
    I guess I can't fathom not using the specified grease for the bearings. Automotive wheels aren't asked to go from 0-80 in 1 second. They aren't asked to take side loadings from crosswinds and imperfect piloting. Tube of Aeroshell 5 is generally available under $10 at the airport, and will last for years. Heck, if more than one builder at airport, or local EAA chapter, do a shared resource buy if needed. I bought a tube of 5 and one of 6(for prop and other gear fittings on current aircraft) over 8 years ago, and am still using both. Bought separate gun for each grease, and total investment was under $50. Kelly John Cox wrote: > > David, thanks for the contribution.
