Not that I'm aware of but I guess you can ask Bob Newman for the one he made and
are not using because he is using the rubber washers.

Gary,
I'd be happy to take a pair off your hands.

Webster, WI 54893
We've been working on the upholstery ( about 1/2 finished) and doing
some color sanding. The graphics guy is coming on Friday so most of
the painting will be done. I do have to finish up some screw ups
however. I think I'll get to the airport about mid-Sept.
When I have your address I'll send you a check.
I see the 'Dogs are ranked #2 in preseason so I'm sure Brenda is
anxious for the season to begin.

| Subject: | James cowl with a standard IO-540 |
I also have the BPA cold air and James cowl. I am ready to fly just waiting for
this southern WX to get better. I will say this; the James cowl will work
with the cold air of BPA, with no intake mods to the cowl. I made my own airbox
using a monster cone K-&-N filter. It has taken more than 20 hrs. of fab work,
but it just fits between the cowl, and I am able to put the cowl on and off
by myself.
Once I fly it and confirm its performance I would be happy to post some pics for
those interested.
Right now the bird is all cowled up and ready to fly, after 3.5 years of building.
I am Jonesing bad right now.
Anyway just my 2 cents. My whole goal was to let that big motor get lots of cool
air and still not have to cut up that nice cowl intake.

| Subject: | Composites for RV-10 |
AirCrafters will be holding another workshop for composites on RV-10s on the
weekend of November 18 and 19, 2008. The class will concentrate on RV-10s
but is also applicable to other RVs and as an intro to other composite
kitplanes.
This course will provide an overview of the composite parts and techniques
used on Van's Aircraft RV-10 kits. We will focus on correct materials and
processes, fitting the composite top and doors, cowl, spinner, fairings, and
other composite parts. You will recieve hands-on training to identify and
use all necessary materials. Examples of completed and in-process assemblies
will be available to view. We will be fitting and installing a cabin top.
Weather permitting, we'll be giving RV-10 demo flights to as many interested
parties as possible--indicate when you sign up if you're interested, first
come, first served, no additional charge.
Who:
Harold Bunyi and Dave Saylor. Harold holds a BS in Aeronautical Engineering
and built kitplane parts in the Phillipines for many years. He has worked at
AirCrafters for 6 years and spends most of his day working with composites.
I started working with composite kitplanes in 1998. I am an A&P/IA, and I
have finished my personal RV-10 project, along with many other composite and
aluminum projects. I recieved my BS in Aeronautics from San Jose State.
When:
November 18 & 19, 2008
8AM-4PM Saturday
8AM-3PM Sunday
Where:
AirCrafters LLC
Watsonville Airport (KWVI)
140 Aviation Way

Class size is limited to 15 builders
Cost for the course is $350 payable by cash, check or credit card. Please
call or email to register. A 50% deposit is required before November 10.
Balance due before class starts.
Nearest major airport is San Jose International. 45 minute drive to KWVI.
Best Lodging is Watsonville Comfort Inn: 831-728-2300. Ask for the airport
discount. Other lodging is available nearby. Aircraft parking is available

| Subject: | Hartzell Composite three blade test against Van's N410RV |
Ken Krueger, from Van's, and I tested our RV-10 with the three-blade
composite prop against Van's RV-10 N410RV with the metal two-blade prop.
We flew both airplanes at 8,000' density altitude, 2500RPM, full throttle,
50F ROP for a total of about 75 miles out and back. Our best estimate is
that the three-blade prop is 7 kts slower than the blended airfoil metal p
rop.
Ideally, we should test the two-blade blended airfoil prop on our RV-10 and
use that as the comparison. This would eliminate the variables involved whe
n
using two separate planes. Keep in mind that our RV-10 is still unpainted a
nd
needs some cleanup on the fairings.
After we both landed, Ken flew our RV-10 and was very impressed with how
smooth the prop was. Ken's direct quote was, "it is dramatically smoother t
han
N410RV, and it makes no difference if you run 2300, 2400 or 2500 RPM, it i
s
always extremely smooth".
Even if it turns out to truly be 7 kts slower, there=99s no way I wou
ld give
up the smoothness for a little more speed.

I can recommend this highly. Especially if the Cabin top and most of
the other glass parts are in front of you.
As Gary said, composites are pretty forgiving and you can cobble your
way through it pretty easily. I've been doing it for years. However,
it's nice going into the work with a high confidence level, some
model-specific tips, and basic skills taught by some pros.

I was told that Van's RV-10 has had the prop balanced.
Everyone that has flown with me in the RV-10 has been amazed with how smooth
it is and it has not been balanced, it might even get better.

Who out there in RV-10 land is running the MT 3 blade prop. Can you post
your average True airspeed at say 7500 or 8500 and what power setting are
you using.
This would be a nice data point to compare also.

Subject: RV10-List: Hartzell Composite three blade test against Van's N410RV
Ken Krueger, from Van's, and I tested our RV-10 with the three-blade
composite prop against Van's RV-10 N410RV with the metal two-blade prop.
We flew both airplanes at 8,000' density altitude, 2500RPM, full throttle,
50F ROP for a total of about 75 miles out and back. Our best estimate is
that the three-blade prop is 7 kts slower than the blended airfoil metal
prop.
Ideally, we should test the two-blade blended airfoil prop on our RV-10 and
use that as the comparison. This would eliminate the variables involved when
using two separate planes. Keep in mind that our RV-10 is still unpainted
and needs some cleanup on the fairings.
After we both landed, Ken flew our RV-10 and was very impressed with how
smooth the prop was. Ken's direct quote was, "it is dramatically smoother
than N410RV, and it makes no difference if you run 2300, 2400 or 2500 RPM,
it is always extremely smooth".
Even if it turns out to truly be 7 kts slower, there?s no way I would give
up the smoothness for a little more speed.

I have a James cowl and plenum with an Air flow FI and Std air box
from Van's. The fit of the cowl and plenum were pretty good but not
alot of overlap to play with. I had to make some mods for the FI
control arms. I used the Std intake ring and cooling rings Sam
supplied, and used baffle material for the seals. I used Alex's
finned grills on the sides of the bottom cowl for more cooling down
here in FL. I also used Sam's main wheel pants and Van's nose wheel
pant.
All in all I am pleased with the results. I have only made one long
trip so far, but I was truing out about 175 kts. at 8500' @ 22
squared, 14 gph on a warm day at gross wt. I was running rich of peak
and #6 was my hottest cylinder @ 390 f and oil temp 210 f. I have
about 50 hrs on the airframe.
E-mail me off line for any more questions and when I get more Perf
data I will post it.

I searched and could not find a thread discussing normal oil Pressure for the mighty

I just adjusted my pressure up a tad. I now have readings of Take off (oil temps
100F) 105 PSI, 75PSI cruise, 24 PSI Hot engine idle @ 650 RPM. I am a tad concerned
about the idle PSI. What are your readings?
Thanks in advance.

Recently, I was approached by an RV-10 builder about making aluminum inside door
handles for an RV-10. Van's provides a handle made from square tubing that is
functional, but not aesthetic. I would like to try making a set of handles and
market them. I need to see, first hand, a set of handles. Is there anyone out
there that would be interested in these handles? Here is my proposal. I need
the factory handles to design my handles, including the locking mechanism. The
first to send me there handles will get their new ones free. Any takers?
