    Subject: Seat Belt support Bracket
    I would like one of the brackets, please. Albert Gardner Yuma, AZ -----Original Message----- Ok, it's been redesigned, punched out, tumbled, and ready to install. I will finish installing mine on Friday. They look great. Not trying to make money here, just taking advantage of my brothers equipment and I had promised 3 to RV10 guys in this area. We ran off 20, and 8 are already spoken for. $12 should cover the bracket and shipping. Any questions on how I installed mine, just give me a call.

    Subject: Re: Hartzell Composite three blade test against Van's N410RV
    I recently flew up through Alaska with another RV10 friend of mine, Ron Grover, and he has the 2 blade blended foil prop and I have a 3 blade Aero Composite prop. We didn't do any direct speed comparisons during this long trip but it appeared obvious to me that he had a little more speed than I did in cruise. His plane is a little lighter than mine I think to begin with and on this trip we I was loaded heaver than him. Based on this trip and a couple other flights Ron and I have done together I would make a SWAG (scientific wild ass guess) that my plane with the three bladed Aero Composite is around 5 knots slower in cruise than Ron's. I like the smoothness and the looks of the 3 blade so I guess my answer his "what the hey" :>} Not very scientific but my best observation. Wayne Edgerton N602WT Time: 11:24:21 AM PST US From: RobHickman@aol.com 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 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 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. Rob Hickman N402RH RV-10

    Subject: Composites for RV-10
    I would love to go to the work shop, but was wondering how long in advance I should do it. I am just now riveting the bottom skins on the mid fuselage and I don't see getting to the cabin top until some time in the winter of 2009-2010. I don't want to forget what I've learned.

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.

    Hi As I layout my panel I am wondering about what is the best choice for annuciator lights. I see Stein has some nice LEDS (http://www.steinair.com/lights.htm) that will do the job. Has anyone found a similar light that will display red/yellow/green on the same light? My Gretz heated pitot has a small board with three LEDS that I would like to combine into a single light. Inquiring minds need to know Les Kearney #40643 - Some assembly required

    My oil pressure numbers are almost the same as yours in my RV-10, I get 32 psi at 640 RPM hot. I was told that the Lycomming minimum spec is 25 psi @ 650 RPM I was instructed to remove the adjustor, spring, and ball and inspect the ball seat in the case. Then I am supposed to put the ball back onto the seat and using a brass punch and hammer tap the ball to make sure there is not a burr on it and it fits into the seat.

    Subject: Vegas crash
    Thought I'd pass this along to keep all in the know here. grumpy do not archive Editor's Note: Below is the unedited text of the National Transportation Safety Board's preliminary report on last week's fatal crash of a Velocity 173RG in North Las Vegas, NV. Of note is the fact the accident flight was to be the first with the engine's supercharger engaged. According to the owner/builder of the aircraft, several high-speed taxi tests had been conducted with the supercharger engaged in the days prior to the accident. _As ANN reported_ (http://www.aero-news.net/news/sport.cfm?ContentBlockID=70d65731-9e6a-4a7d-90e3-c4fe293e5cd0&Dynamic=1) , the plane crashed into a home last Friday, just after takeoff from the North Las Vegas Airport (VGT). The accident claimed the lives of pilot Mack Creekmore Murphree Jr., 76, and two people living inside the home, identified as Jack and Lucy Costa. NTSB Identification: LAX08LA274 14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation Accident occurred Friday, August 22, 2008 in North Las Vegas, NV Aircraft: Killgore M/Killgore K Velocity 173RG, registration: N415MK Injuries: 3 Fatal. This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed. On August 22, 2008, at 0628 Pacific daylight time, an experimental Killgore M/Killgore K Velocity 173RG, N415MK, collided with a residential building in North Las Vegas, Nevada. The airplane is registered to the owner/builder and it was being operated by the pilot under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. The certificated airline transport pilot and two people on the ground were killed. Post impact fire destroyed the airplane and partially burned the residence. The local flight departed North Las Vegas Airport at 0627. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed. Preliminary information obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) revealed that the airplane departed North Las Vegas from runway 12 left. Shortly after takeoff the air traffic controller observed that the airplane was not gaining altitude. The controller asked the pilot if he needed assistance, to which the pilot responded, "I'm going down, I'm going down." The airplane then collided with a house 1.1 miles southeast of the airport. The owner/builder was interviewed by the National Transportation Safety Board investigator-in-charge after the accident. He reported that the engine was equipped with a supercharger, and that the purpose of the flight was to test the performance of the airplane and engine with the supercharger engaged. He further reported that the supercharger was tested on multiple occasions during high speed taxi tests and ground runs the week prior to the accident, but that this was to be the first time it would be engaged for flight. The pilot held an airline transport pilot certificate with ratings for airplane single engine land, multiengine land, and instrument airplane. He additionally held a flight engineer certificate, mechanic certificate, and a flight instructor certificate for airplane single engine, multiengine, and instrument airplane. On his latest FAA third-class medical application, dated September 7, 2006, the pilot stated that he had amassed 6,250 hours of total flight time. (mip://036195c0/default.html#) (mip://036195c0/default.html#) The canard configuration, four-seat, low-wing, retractable gear airplane, was issued a Special Airworthiness Certificate on March 9, 2008. It was powered by a Lycoming IO-360-C1C, engine and equipped with a three bladed MT-Propeller, model MTV-18-B. The Experimental Amateur-Built Airplane Operating Limitations for the accident airplane specified the following compliance under the section: Phase 1 Limitations-Initial Flight Testing, 'After a minimum time of (5) hours, and after controllability, airworthiness, and safety checks required by FAR 90.319(b) and chapter 4 of Advisory Circular 90.89A are established and recorded in the airplane logbook the airplane then may complete the remaining hours required in Phase 1 while based at North Las Vegas Airport (VGT); OR, a one time flight to the "Airplane Base of Operations" may also be conducted remaining clear of all densely populated areas and congested airways. NOTE: Airplane Base of Operations: Show Low Regional Airport (KSOW). This airplane must be operated for at least 25 (Twenty Five) hours in the assigned geographic areas' Review of the airplane maintenance logbook records revealed that on March 17, 2008, the airplane had amassed a total flight time of 5.1 hours. A logbook entry for that date noted, 'This airplane meets all the controllability, airworthiness, and safety checks required by FAR 91.319(b) and chapter 4 of advisory circular 90-89A. **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go.

    check this; I was in the area and IIRC this was a new supercharger instalation. NTSB Identification: LAX04LA322. The docket is stored in the Docket Management System (DMS). Please contact Records Management Division <http://www.ntsb.gov/info/sources.htm#pib> 14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation Accident occurred Saturday, September 18, 2004 in Mesa, AZ Probable Cause Approval Date: 1/31/2006 Aircraft: Wolf Glassair IIS, registration: N110UX Injuries: 2 Fatal. Immediately after takeoff the experimental category airplane climbed to 100 feet, rolled left, and collided with terrain. The airplane took off, was airborne by mid field, and climbed to about 100 feet. After the initial climb it did not appear to be climbing or accelerating normally. Some witnesses reported that the engine did not sound good and described engine noise fluctuations. About this time, the pilot transmitted to the local controller that he was declaring an emergency and needed to return for landing. The controller cleared the flight to land on any runway. The airplane then rolled to the left and impacted the ground inverted. The airplane had just completed an annual inspection and was undergoing a post maintenance check flight with the pilot and a mechanic onboard. Components that were replaced or overhauled during the annual inspection included the engine driven fuel pump, the fuel filter, and the supercharger. A post impact ground fire destroyed many engine components, including those that were replaced at the annual, and consumed the composite airframe. The propeller exhibited evidence of leading edge polishing, torsional twisting, and chordwise striations. Examination of the wreckage found no evidence of a preimpact malfunction or failure of the control system or powerplant. The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows: a partial loss of power for undetermined reasons, and, the failure of the pilot to maintain an adequate airspeed while maneuvering for a forced landing that resulted in a stall and a collision with terrain. _____ From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of David McNeill Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 5:57 PM Subject: RE: RV10-List: Vegas crash I saw this in the AM also.

    Subject: Re: IO-540; What Is Normal Oil Pressure?
    From: "Geico266" <Geico266@aol.com>
    Thanks Rob, I appreciate it. I'll try setting the ball again. I pulled it out just to look at it, and it looked fine. I would like to see a tad bit higher oil pressure when idling hot, but may have to live with 24 PSI. I'm probably worrying about nothing, but that would be normal. :?
