Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, he or she will instantly cease to receive these Fund Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple. Don't you wish PBS worked that way! :-) I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware and software that are required to run a List Site like this. It also goes to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have it on my Email List sites. If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!! http://www.matronics.com/contribution Thank you!

I love all the designs, but picked #3 because I think it's wise to avoid dark colors on a couple areas.....one, the composites (at least the top and real sun-facing surfaces, and two, the fuel tanks. You may not have any problem with the glass, the paint, or anything, but it makes sense to keep any added heat absorption to a minimum, even on engine cowls. Maybe not a huge critical problem, but anything that helps is worth considering.

Don't really know why as Cirrus does it. The ones with the funny tail were last minute designs that I decided to do something to the tail but it does not follow the theme. I would end up changing the tail if I went with lower paint. Again I like #1 too just trying to convince myself.

He has a new two blade carbon fiber prop for the RV-10. Approx. 40 lbs., 81", cost in the $8,000 range. It is very similar to their 200RV prop. He said it had some enhancements over the 200RV design. He is looking for a flying RV-10 to test the prop and do some comparisons. They have a test prop ready now. If interested, contact him at 440-275-1540. He said they could ship new props in about twelve weeks. They want to test one on an RV-10 to be sure there are no unusual vibration problems. I told him I would post his request on this list.

If you get up next to one, take a look at their door latch mechanism ..... it looks like a trunk latch from a small car. I like it .... so much better than the crude mechanism that comes with the kit. I'd like to make my doors latch like that too. Anybody know where the latches come from???

My -10 will be out of the booth next week. I have done the vast majority of the painting myself. Very happy with the results, but it has taken me a loooong time to get it to where I feel good about it. Like setting rivets, the quality of the paint job only improves with practice and experience. But I recently bit the bullet and now have the help of a professional spray painter to do the wing top surfaces and fuse. My results and his compare favourably, but there is no way that I can achieve the consistent (outstanding) results that come from his gun. And I don't have to sell the wife and kids to pay for the paint job - all up it will have cost me well under A$2k (under US$1500). My scheme is also Standard (high opacity) White with basic blue accents and some vinyls to add some interest. My reasoning is identical to Rick's and with the blistering heat here in Oz, dark colours on the top never factored into the equation. cheers, Ron 187 looking forward to the BEST Xmas present ever! ________________________________ From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Rick Sked Sent: Thursday, 6 November 2008 2:21 PM To: rv10-list@matronics.com Subject: Re: RV10-List: RV-10 Paint Scheme Opinion Pole Yes they are...and I like their schemes..I plan on doing a basic white with multicolor intertwining ribbon design on the side, I'm painting myself, using Jetglo and vinyl trim colors and "N" numbers. My reasoning is paint doesn't hide workmanship, and I don't EVEN want anyone to think I am cracking on their workmanship if they have cool paint jobs, I always built my -10 with resale in mind, Basecoat/Clearcoat is a bitch to repair, ever wonder why a bodyshop paints the entire part from seperation to seperation on BC/CC finishes? Because it can't be spot painted and blended. White can be customized if a buyer wants pretty easily. Vinyl can be removed and replaced fairly easily if needed and finally...I think it looks good to me...which is the only thing I care about. I remember Scott saying one time, you forget all about the fancy paint job when you sitting in the seat looking out the window. And Deems hinted to me what his paint job cost...Did I say I was painting mine? :) Don't most of the Cirrus aircraft out there have "N" numbers that end in CD...now if you REALLY wanted to not only look like a Cirrus, you could appear to ATC as one if you were to use CD to end your tail number!!! Someone has that on their -10 don't they? Can't remember who it is though!! Oh yeah...I live in the desert...white is a cool color in 115 degree heat. Literally.
