| Subject: | Re: Elevator Skin Trailing Edge Bowing... |
Matt,
On the RV-10, the elevator is a 3-piece rivited trailing edge. I am not that familiar
with the RV-8 but it looks like my RV-6. I have never heard of any flutter
issues on the elevator due to this condition and your problem appears to
be primarily esthetic. Bending the trailing edges is always a little tricky
and on the ailerons, too little (or too much) can cause one wing to be "heavy".
Van talks about this in the manual and you can correct the heavy wing by pinching
the trailing edge, ie, make the radius smaller. The slight bowing on the
skin is also of no concern, and under flight loads the skins will do this regardless.
Since your radius is within spec, I don't see a safety issue here. The only problem
is is whether or not you can live with it.

I don't see any real downside to installing speed brakes but in my case
I wouldn't see any real advantage for my type of flying. I've got around
200 hours on it now and I've not had any difficulty slowing it down. If
you want to descend and not pick up speed the old side slip works fine.
If you want to slow down quickly pull back the power and raise the nose.
I'm not saying speed brakes wouldn't be interesting to have but for me
they probably would be used much.

To call them speed brakes on a sailplane is incorrect as mentioned before. To use
them to reduce speed may cause real problems, as in very hard landing even
at high speed. Correctly, they are for altitude loss and control, causing the
glider wing to be less efficient.
A real speed brake....think of an A-1 Skyraider with those barn doors that come
out of the side of the fuselage so they can point the nose straight down at the
ground and not overspeed.
About to put the sailplane away and get back to building.

Yeah, this happened to my first trim tabs. Fortunately, or un, the trim tab is
the only flying surface of the -10 that uses this construction technique. Us
9 & 10 builders have the AEX extrusion and Proseal to contend with for our flying
surfaces with their own "got ya's." With the trim tabs, I created a brake
from 2X4 to provide a more continuous mold while curing than the V brackets called
for in the plans.

It's time to replace the brakes and my research has found Tim's notes of
requiring Cleveland part# 66-112. However, Vans has a brake kit with 4
linings and the rivets for $33. I'm guessing those aren't Cleveland parts
so I was wondering if anyone knew of RAPCO now had a matching part? I'll
happily order the parts from Vans, however I'm a lot closer to AS&S and I'd
like to save on the shipping since I have to order the brake tool from them
anyway.
Thanks,

| Subject: | Re: Speedbrake installation kit for RV-10 |
...to continue down the OT glider discussion
I would submit that the devices used on glider wings serve to degrade
the L/D performance of aircraft independent of whether they are called
spoilers, dive brakes, or speed brakes. Whether you spoil lift or
increase drag - you will come down at a greater rate and everything else
being equal, you will slow down. Cases on point:
- The Schweitzer 1-34, a 60s vintage a metal glider had "terminal
velocity" dive brakes. You could point the ship straight down with what
I assume you would call 'dive brakes' and you would not exceed Vne.
There was nothing special about Vne, but just a good example of the drag
created by what is now a typical glider 'spoiler' configuration. I
understand that more than a few modern sailplanes have spoilers capable
of terminal velocity performance, but simply haven't been fully tested
and certified as such.
- Trim a modern sailplane for a typical approach speed, apply the
'spoilers', and try to maintain the same pitch attitude without losing
speed. Or conversely, apply spoilers and note the pitch change required
to maintain speed.
I'm thinking the banking devices on an MU-2 would properly be called
(lift) spoilers since their function is drop a wing with minimal drag.
The landing approach devices on gliders do varying amounts of lift
spoiling and drag increasing based on their design but few are primarily
'spoilers' and most are very effective dive/speed brakes by design. And
some like those on the Schweitzer 2-22 are excellent side slip trainers
because they barely do anything at all.
OK, I've returned home aboard the Maule on a very nice soaring day her
in NC. Now I'm ready to go do some building before this weekend gets away.

I believe you will find that the Rapco brake linings use same numbering

For those that are flying after 40 hours I am using 1 quart every 7 hours.
Is this to much? I know what the manual says but if one went by that you

I looked at these and though it was about time that someone came out with something like this, but then the price makes no sense. $37 for brake rivet set only when the old complete "hammer" version is only $23. The brake rivet set should be no more than $10. For example this 5 piece rivet set is only $18.95: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/rivset4sqzr.php
It may be better to just grind down a set of an old rivet set.

Thanks, good catch on the part number but I read it as price per lining so with
the new price of $16.95 that would be double Vans price. I have a question in
to AS&S so we'll see. If anyone has confidence that the price is per pair please
let me know and I'll hit send on the order. My concern is because there
are several airplanes mentioned that need 1 versus 2 of the same part number
but the price is the same leading me to believe price is per lining.
Thanks,
Marcus

I found Rapco's full catalog on the AS&S sight and you're correct, RA66-112
for the Skipper. Unfortunately AS&S site doesn't have them available. I'll
keep looking though.

I believe you will find that the Rapco brake linings use same numbering
system as Cleveland but have RA as a prefix.

You're doing just fine. 7-10 hours per quart is normal.
Mine uses the normal as long as I don't fill it past 9 qts, otherwise it
blows it out.
If it's a new engine, don't forget to start taking oil samples at every oil
change once you get past 100 hours.

For those that are flying after 40 hours I am using 1 quart every 7 hours.
Is this to much? I know what the manual says but if one went by that you
would have to take spare oil on every flight!

Cleaveland is the ONLY place making them at this point, so
all linings of that part number are the ones you need.
Rapco is thinking about it, but hasn't.

You can figure about $15 per lining no matter which supplier you buy for

I'm hoping those of you more expert than I in the issues involved with using lycomings
closely related to the recommended models can enlighten me here. I'm looking
at a O-540 A2B. From what I can dig up, this model has short propeller
governor studs, which I think is a good thing, but it lacks counterweights, which
I understand to make it incompatible with Van's recommended compact hub props.
Can one simply use a steel hub prop certified for use with this engine? Are
there any other issues I should think about?
Thanks in advance, -Andy

I can't speak to the counterweights or prop hub, but if you go with
the Van's FWF kit you will need the long prop governor studs, which
you can pick up from anybody who sells Lycoming parts. I don't know
the part number, but they should be able to look them up. I have had
to replace several sets of studs because the ones sent with the engine
were too short for the MT governor, which is included in the FWF kit.

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 from 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
trade it for anything. Jennifer and I flew it to Van=99s home
coming on Saturday and as soon as I shut it down we had a number of
people telling me how quiet 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 smooth 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.

Unfortunately, Hartzell won't say anything until they get the thumbs
up from Van's. Our chapter just did a factory tour and they spent
quite a bit of time on the approval process on what they sell. If you
mention RV and it's not on the Van's approved list, they will ignore
you. :^(

| Subject: | QB Wing Questions |
Hi
This wekend I started fininihsing off my QB wings. When installing the botton skins,
the plans reference step 5 on pag 16-2 that describe how to improve the
"aesthetics" of the wing overlaps.
While the plans suggest removing material from the overlapped skins, they neglect
to say how to do this. The range of possibilities go from a chain saw to a
jeweler's file. I think a sanding block with a fine grit sandpaper might work
but was wondering what others have used.
As well, I have a couple of tie down rings for the wings. Looking at the ring attachment
points, it looks like the there is not enough material to allow tapping
holes for the rings. Am I missing something ?
Inquiring minds need to know.

Hi Les,
There should be plenty of material for tapping the tie downs. I had no
problem here. Just go slow, use plenty of oil, and reverse out the tap
often to clear the threads. I then used a small angled pick to remove
chips from the holes. I used a small Vixen file to put a bevel on the
skin edges for overlapping. Again, go slow and steady and keep a
constant angle. Be sure to remove some material from the aft edge of
the skins so they do not buckle and cause oil canning. You'll see what
I mean after you cleco the skins on the first time.
