I have my amp meter set up as a load meter measuring the output of the
alternator. However, it reads about 40 amps after the battery is recharged.
I don't have 40 amps worth of fuses in my panel so I suspect that the
shunt/EFIS aren't giving me the correct reading. Does anyone have a DC amp
meter that they are willing to let me try to get an accurate reading so that
I can confront the EFIS/engine monitor folks and get a correct correction
factor applied?
Or does someone have a better idea?

Gary,
I actually have a high current lab DC power supply that
we could have used to check the shunt. I know we had a busy weekend,
but we could have just connected up the power supply and had a known
calibrated power feed to the airplane (via the alternator lead).
It's pretty heavy, or I would consider shipping it to you to use.
The other choice is to make a second calibrated shunt and put in
series with the alternator lead. That's a lot easier to do.

Have louvers on sides and oil temps in hot summer are great--even in climbs. However,
in cold weather sometimes hard to get above 150 when it's really cold
outside. Any good suggestions for partially blocking--tape?? what will withstand
engine heat and not melt?? Also have larger oil cooler. thanks. larry &

I don't think the shunt is at fault, I think that the calibration in either
the engine monitor or the EFIS is converting it to a wrong number. The
shunt is measured by the engine monitor and that info is fed to the EFIS.
Somewhere in there is the problem IMHO.

Both Alternators feed into a common shunt. Neal George has a clamp on amp
meter, so I will try that first.

You can do the shutter Van's sells or the butterfly valve that someone else does
(sorry, can't remember who offhand). Both of those give you in flight adjustability
rather than a static setting that tape gives you. Of course that works
too.

| Subject: | HS Attachment Bar Clearance |
Hi,
I'm currently fitting the longerons inside the tailcone.
On page 10-6 Step 1, we're asked to remove an area of material for
clearance of the HS attachment bars.
Upon fitting, I'm finding that the HS attachment bars are touching the
longerons.
1) Is this acceptable? I'm guessing not.
2) I've continued to remove material from the longeron and right now I'm
pushing 15/32 of removed material when the plans called for 11/32. In
order to get the HS attachment bars to easily clear, I'm guessing I'll
have to removed another 2 or 3/32. Is that a problem or should I just
start over with a new longeron?
Here are links to the photos.

OK, I'm all torn up. The Infinity grips are sexy but I just don't think
I want all that function on the stick. This is a cruiser not a hot
ass. Heck, I'm a cruiser, not a hot ass, at least not any longer...
I looked and played with the Infinity grips at Osh. Nicely designed and
built. Price is ok too. The Ray Allens were kept at arm's length just
because they looked so stogy. But now that I've thought things through,
the G305/G307 is looking like the right tool on the AS catalog page.
I now wish I had looked and played with them at Osh.
Specifically, I don't want my flap switch on the stick - a single panel
mount rocker is where I'm going. I do want a hat switch for my trim on
the stick and of course a PTT. I've never flown with an autopilot so I
don't really know about a autopilot disco switch.
I'm very interested in comparisons of the Infinity and the RA grips -
quality, comfort, RV10 fit. Also thoughts on switch function. Price
just doesn't matter here given the price range.

I went with the Infinity grips...very happy....
First, my opinion, you must have the autopilot disconnect on the
stick....just my opinion. But when you need it you will need to have your
hand on the stick and when the autopilot goes wacko you need to have your
hand on the stick and throttle and not reaching for another switch....during
testing I had a hard pitch over and was happy to have the switch on the
stick.
On the pilot side I have the following switch config...
Left top, autopilot disconnect
Hat switch, trims (elevator and aileron)
Right top, flap
Trigger, press to talk
Thumb, Freq flip flop on SL30

I have the Infinity grip in my 8A, and will put it in the 10.
I find having the flaps on the stick to work well (toggle switch, momentary
down, stays on in the up position). In fact I would not recommend any other
place. The other functions used:
1. PTT
2. Comm frequency flip flop. I use this a lot.
3. Auto pilot disconnect. This is real handy to engage the wing leveler
without needing to divert your eyes or move a hand to the panel. For
straight stick flying I keep the auto pilot in wing leveler mode just for
this reason.
4. Trim hat.
I originally had the starter button on the stick. I found this problematic
and have since move the starter button to a side panel.

I'm really tempted to have mine carved out of hardwood.
PTT and maybe elevator trim... But like you, I'm hoping to make them

I'd agree with Rene'. As you know I have the Infinity grips,
and it would be insane NOT to put an AP disconnect on the
stick. There are so many functions that would be convenient
to put on a stick grip that even the infinity could use another
switch or two if it could be done nicely. So I wouldn't skimp
on quantities of switches. Chances are you'll find use for
every one of them.

| Subject: | Re: QB Wing Angst- Oil Canning |
In order to continue to exercise your rights to contribute to the gene pool
I suggest that proseal not be used to glue angles inside wings. Proseal is a
sealant not an adhesive; hence it possible that a piece my come loose and
interfere with control mechanisms. Jammed ailerons or asymmetrical flaps
could ruin someone's day.

Tom
Thanks for the comments.
I have thought about proseal as well. My only concern is I don't know how
well the proseal will attach to my primer. I wouldn't want the angle to
depart the skin and mess up the controls etc. My inclination would be to
rivet the stiffner. With effort I can reach the square and use a pop rivet
dimpler. Then again perhaps I am just being a bit to anal.
Cheers
Les

Les,
I went through the same thing. I ended up using proseal to attach a 6"
piece of aluminum angle to the inside of the square that was oilcanning.
Can't speak for final result as the plane hasn't flown yet but ground test
(me pushing on panel) showed any canning was completely gone.

| Subject: | Air box and alternate air door |
Just pulled the cowl for first 100 hours inspection. Found the galvanized
ring (VA192A) of the alternate air door partially pulled from the bottom of
the air box. the rivets had pulled through the glass and the nut plate for
the door pivot was holding it there. To fix this I fabricated an aluminum
ring for the inside and match drilled the ring and galvanized ring. I
cleaned the bottom with a scotchbrite pad and grinder and put two additional
layers of glass on the bottom. I will epoxy putty the VA192A and the
fabricated ring to the box and rivet (1097s) after cure. I will then add
small dabs of RTV on the rivet buck tails on the inside to ensure that even
if a rivet breaks, nothing will enter the injection system.

| Subject: | Control Stick Grips |
I vote for the Infinity. The Tosen grips look slick if you can live with
less function. I had Infinity them on my 4 & 6A and now the -10. I also
agree with the requirement for the AP disconnect as one of the most
important functions at fingers reach. Picture approach control saying
"Traffic Alert 1 mile turn 30 degrees left" It's nice NOT look down,
just hit the red button and start turning. I also have PTT, Flip/Flop,
dual trim. I don't have ident but would do so next time.
My 6A has the flaps on the stick and panel. I really liked the stick
flaps (momentary down, full auto up- Great for Go-Arounds). I didn't do
it on my -10 because of the preset stop option on the flaps.
Please remember to "clock" your grip to suit your arm/hand angle for max
comfort.
Good luck,
Robin
