I hate paying someone else to do what I can do for free. The simplest
thing I've found is to import a 3-view into your favorite paint
program. You can even cut and paste from a flying example picture. I
don't need to rotate in 3-D to picture the results. You'll fine-tune
the picture when you lay it out on the airplane to shoot paint. It was
easier years ago when mostly straight lines prevailed, but now the
'swoosh' style is prevalent and will make drawing the lines a little
more difficult. Once you have the lines drawn, however using the 'fill'
tool makes it really easy to change colors.

John,
I labored a lot over the paint scheme. In fact the plane is in paint now
and I still think I should have gone a completely different direction.
It can make one nuts. Early in the process I drew a blank outline of an
RV-10 and posted it online including downloadable versions in .ai, .eps
and .jpg forms. I started with a lot of hand drawings then with the
illustrator file you can make a clipping mask and use the various
illustrator tools to add color, designs, N numbers. Basically anything
you can think of to prevent you from actually building the plane.
Good luck,
Robin

Subject: | Insurance comparison...what's your opinion |
For historical info, here is some history for the insurance on my -10.
2006 $3441
2007 $3389 (Note: Increased hull value $10K...same hull was $3228)
2008 $3087 (Note: TAA program was not yet in place with AIG)
Now comes 2009. I easily qualified for the TAA program, which gives
10% off, and after 400+ hours of RV-10 time, and higher corresponding
total time, my rates are naturally also decreasing.
The dilema is that this year I finally have 2 options, and it's making
it tough on me to decide...and I need to just pull the trigger.
Previously I've been with AIG, on my old plane, and my RV-10. No
claims, so no experience of anything. AIG was the only reasonable
rate at the time, and of course Avemco is always just plain insane
on rates for the -10.
This year, my quotes are:
Global Aerospace $2849
AIG $2709 (or $2774 with expanded coverage)
The problem is that the coverage with Global is so much better
that I'm not sure which way to go anymore. Certainly, with
the expanded coverage with AIG, the rates are so close that I'd
just choose Global.
Here is a comparison to some of the things that are different:
Medical Payments: $10,000 Global / $3,000 AIG
Deductable: $0 Global / $100 AIG
Headsets/handheld av. $1,000 Global / $500 AIG
Personal Effects $5,000 Global / $3,000 AIG
Hangar Contents $50,000 Global / $25,000 AIG
(hangar damage/unowned)
Search and Rescue $25,000 Global / $10,000 AIG
Emergency Conditions $25,000 Global / $10,000 AIG
(runway foaming...)
Precautionary Landing Include Global / Included AIG only expanded
Extended phys damage Included Global / Not offered AIG
(war,sabotage,riots)
Hurricane Reimbursement: Global is far better.
Now, if I want the lowest rate, and skip the Expanded coverage
with AIG, I lose the headset/handheld coverage, personal
effects goes down to $1,000, hangar contents to $10,000,
no coverage for premises, no coverage for Precautionary
landing, no hurricane reimbursement (don't get many in
Wisconsin though. :) ) and no physical damage coverage
for non-owned aircraft.
So clearly, the insurance is better at least in the bullet
points with Global. The question is, the value of the
add-on coverages....and of course, I have no experience with
Global.
Does anyone have any comments, especially positive and negative
experiences in dealing with claims with either?

Subject: | Firewall insulation |
I recall seeing a website of aft-side firewall insulation templates that someone
was selling. Does anyone have that info handy? Guess I could crawl around under
there, but it might be easier to cut using a template.
The path of least resistance would be to could use spray adhesive to attach insulation,
but that's a permanent solution that wouldn't allow future inspection.
What other options are there?
I have several yards of insulation received from Abby @ Flightline Interiors.

Subject: | computer simulation of paint scheme |
My database has almost every painted RV-10 in the world in it. http://www.
schemedesigners.com/ is by far the largest producer of aircraft schemes use
d by paint shops applying the creation of two dimensional graphics to a thr
ee dimentional object. Craig Barnett does presentation at OSH each year an
d has a pallet of airline, certified production aircraft and kitbuilds to h
is credit.
Wayne Edgerton, the late Mark Ritter, Scott Schmidt and of course Mark Cham
berlain are great resources for striking original paint schemes which quick
ly get ripped off by copy artists - as direct and identical clones. Someti
mes it goes right down to the exact paint colors and break lines in the lay
out, which may have been copyrighted by the designer/client.
However, computer simulation is different than those of the static two or t
hree view graphics in a flat document. The computer simulation makes for a
n exciting question indeed. My favorite scheme done by Craig is N900EM on
an Embraer corporate jet out of Vegas. It utilized the natural flow lines
of the three dimensional object, complementary colors and striking graphic
s which denote speed, beauty and elegance in one final product - whether it
is sitting "Static on the Ramp" at night or "On the Perch at V1" for lifto
ff.
Neil Colliver has none a unique job has have the Russians, the Poles and n
ow Dan Benua with #40001 (IMHO). I will continue reading with interest the
answers on simulation program. That bar continues to raise higher with mo
re beautiful products arriving weekly.

Subject: | Insurance comparison...what's your opinion |
Tim,
I have no experience with either company however since your
highest coverage cost ($2,849) is still far less than you were use to
paying (2006-2008) you might as well go with the company proving "so
much better" coverage (your words). When you look at the individual line
items like Personal Effects and consider your table PC or various other
electronic doodads you probably have in your -10 that may be enough
alone to make a decision. The difference in Hangar Coverage is
significant. I don't know what is involved in Hangar Coverage but when
things go wrong in a hangar they can go wrong in a big way (fire,
tornado, crushing snow, auto/aircraft impact). Quick story... a friend
had his mechanic pull his freshly painted Aero Commander out for some
reason. The mechanic jumped out of the plane with the plane on a SLIGHT
incline. It slowly rolled into my neighbors hangar taking out the nose
wheel etc... $60,000 later for the plane and $9,000 later for the hangar
all is good as new...I suggest with numbers this close you go for the
higher coverage (assuming all other factors are acceptable).

Subject: RV10-List: Insurance comparison...what's your opinion
For historical info, here is some history for the insurance on my -10.
2006 $3441
2007 $3389 (Note: Increased hull value $10K...same hull was $3228)
2008 $3087 (Note: TAA program was not yet in place with AIG)
Now comes 2009. I easily qualified for the TAA program, which gives
10% off, and after 400+ hours of RV-10 time, and higher corresponding
total time, my rates are naturally also decreasing.
The dilema is that this year I finally have 2 options, and it's making
it tough on me to decide...and I need to just pull the trigger.
Previously I've been with AIG, on my old plane, and my RV-10. No
claims, so no experience of anything. AIG was the only reasonable
rate at the time, and of course Avemco is always just plain insane
on rates for the -10.
This year, my quotes are:
Global Aerospace $2849
AIG $2709 (or $2774 with expanded coverage)
The problem is that the coverage with Global is so much better
that I'm not sure which way to go anymore. Certainly, with
the expanded coverage with AIG, the rates are so close that I'd
just choose Global.
Here is a comparison to some of the things that are different:
Medical Payments: $10,000 Global / $3,000 AIG
Deductable: $0 Global / $100 AIG
Headsets/handheld av. $1,000 Global / $500 AIG
Personal Effects $5,000 Global / $3,000 AIG
Hangar Contents $50,000 Global / $25,000 AIG
(hangar damage/unowned)
Search and Rescue $25,000 Global / $10,000 AIG
Emergency Conditions $25,000 Global / $10,000 AIG
(runway foaming...)
Precautionary Landing Include Global / Included AIG only expanded
Extended phys damage Included Global / Not offered AIG
(war,sabotage,riots)
Hurricane Reimbursement: Global is far better.
Now, if I want the lowest rate, and skip the Expanded coverage
with AIG, I lose the headset/handheld coverage, personal
effects goes down to $1,000, hangar contents to $10,000,
no coverage for premises, no coverage for Precautionary
landing, no hurricane reimbursement (don't get many in
Wisconsin though. :) ) and no physical damage coverage
for non-owned aircraft.
So clearly, the insurance is better at least in the bullet
points with Global. The question is, the value of the
add-on coverages....and of course, I have no experience with
Global.
Does anyone have any comments, especially positive and negative
experiences in dealing with claims with either?

Subject: | Re: Change in Economy... Change in Plans... Panel |
I would agree with most of Larry's suggestions, but I may go a step
further and recommend that you put in all of the wiring and even trays
for future expansion and just leave out the instruments. IE, put in
wiring and tray for a 430W, but don't spring the $5,000+ for the
instrument yet. Go with an AFS 3500 with an adapter plate that will
let you mount it in the 4500 tray and then swap out when you have the
cash and they have some bugs worked out of the 4500. Wire and tray
for an SL-30 and put in an SL-40. 496 or 396 panel mounted to steer
your A/P. I would not recommend leaving the A/P out at all. The -10
is a good plane and is stable, but cross-country trips without an auto
pilot can be very tiring. Just holding altitude is a lot of busy
work. This thing doesn't trim and hold altitude like an Archer. It
can trim, but if you don't pay attention, you will be 500 feet up or
down in a very short time. You could go with a Digiflight II and the
upgrade to the VSGV later also, if you wanted to, but make sure to get
the trim-sensing servo to start with. If you truly are going basic
VFR, then an audio panel, SL-40, GTX327, AFS 3500 with backup battery
and a compass isn't a bad way to start, with the Digiflight II, of
course. Again, I would wire the plane for future expansion, because
$2,000 can go a long way in easy upgrades when cash is available.
Also, talk to Tim at Approach Fast Stack, as his avionics wiring
solutions are perfect for expansion, as is the Vertical Power system
(start with a VP-100 and upgrade later to the VP-200 if you feel the
need.
Just my $.02 I've only got about 65 hrs PIC in the -10, but probably
have 200 total, and this is what I would do on a budget for a VFR plane.

Why not back down the hull value. Take the difference in insurance
and bank it specifically for the hull replace should something
happen. Over time, you should be able to reduce the hull amount to
zero and then use interest from the hull money to pay the liability
insurance.
You do plan on keeping the airplane for a
long time don't you?
I know of a person who is doing that and
they are seeing a significant return on their investment. (IE much
lower insurance cost and keeping money in house!)
Just a
thought.

Subject: | Re: Insurance comparison...what's your opinion |
Thanks Robin for the feeback. You too David. To be honest,
I'm leaning towards the Global anyway. Yes, the tablet PC
and stuff is all part of what would be covered and it's covered
for theft too. The thing is, I'd have a hard time submitting
a claim for headsets and tablets if it will cause a rate
increase in another year. So that's why I'm so "insurance shy".
I don't cover my cars heavily at all for their own damage...just
for the damage to others. Previously I had even been tempted
to go with "not in flight" coverage for the plane. But
finally the rates are coming down for me after the time
put in. I did post the historical rate trend just to
show too that over time it does make a difference as you gain
time and experience. And as you noted, either choice is
a good drop again from last year.
The other thing is, this year I may actually do a trip over
the oceans, and I can easily see the $25,000 search and rescue
coverage being something nice to have. So looking at those
factors provides a push to Global too.
I just got Jim C's message about hull value as I typed
this....You know, I do kind of agree with him on that...at
least that's exactly how I feel about my cars (which I
usually PURCHASE with 90K+ miles on them)...and you save
tons over time. But, in an RV-10 all decked out with
nice things, I don't think that you will save enough
money quick enough to make the payoff work out. If I
actually HAD a couple hundred grand in liquid cash that
I could just have without it affecting anything, then
yeah, I'd probably skip the hull coverage, because I can
always build another hull.

You want to be a little careful with "backing down the hull value". Remember, if
the insurance company pays out this amount, they then own the aircraft.To make
up an extreme example, suppose you declare the hull value at $50K. You then
damage both wings, and you think you can fix it for $30K. But the insurance
company has the option to declare the plane a total loss, and pay you $50K. They
then own the airplane, and can sell the engine, radios, etc., to recoup their
loss.

I cut down my insurance to 'not in motion' to meet the hangar lease
agreement. I have no insurance on my house either. I'm an optimist.
I personally have no assets to be taken. I've saved enough over the
years to replace the big ticket items should be lost. If I'm lost too,
then I don't care. The only concern I have is that a friend will be
injured while riding in my plane (or boat or ......) and will have to
foot his medical bills himself. That's a big concern, but I don't have
an answer. I don't usually have an empty seat when I fly so it must not
concern them very much .... and yes, they've been told .... and even
reminded once in a while.

Photoimpact is my favorite image editor. I use it a lot.
It's very capable and much more intuitive than adobe photoshop.
I've seen some commercial airplane paintscheme software somewhere online. You'll
find it on google. It was pretty inexpensive.

Jay,
I used hi-temp RTV for adhesive.=C2- Just dabs in the corners and a few i

If you can get the firewall=C2-material in the ballpark size-wise, hold i
t up to the area you want to install it and press along the bulkheads and s
upports.=C2- Run your hands along those areas a few times and you will ge
t a light impression in the foil.=C2- Get a medium point Sharpie (not fin

Hope this helps.

As Neil says, it's a surprising amount of work. Some find it very
satisfying, others not so much - it's not everyones cup of tea. For anyone
who wants to get their feet wet, there are several *free* clinics held at
various places throughout the country each year. The next one is mid April
in the Atlanta area. These are tailored toward the total newbies and in my
opinion worth ever penny and more.
At the very least, you'll get to ride left seat while an experienced pilot
is right/back seat to take you through what the picture and action is like
up close.
Food for thought.

Subject: | Re: Dreams of 1,000 |
I have flown my 10 in the proper wing position on a few occasions. As far
as the airframe goes the issues are minor and relate to a little
inconvenience with the sight picture in the right wing position. General
handling qualities like the other models of RVs make the 10 a good formation
airplane. Mixing the 10 with other RV types would probably not be advised
or look good unless the 10 was in separated lead or trail position due to
the difference in size. A formation of just 10s would be awesome.
Tim's comments are spot on with regard to training. There are at least two
large FAA recognized training organizations to qualify formation pilots.
The FAST program and Stu McCurdy's Formation Flight Incorporated. Both
include extensive ground and flight training leading to a certification
card. This certification is required to fly in FAA wavered airspace such as
Oshkosh and Sun & Fun. The procedures and standards are well defined and
very well standardized. Pilots completing the training can have confidence
in other pilots who have also completed the program.
Formation flying can be very satisfying, will dramatically improve ones
overall flying skills, is serious business and can be a lot of fun. There
have been fatalities even among serious trained pilots so it should be
approached with the respect it deserves.

Trust me, when you're in the formation, you don't have time to
look behind you. It would be nice to have more viz for
spotting everyone and getting together in formation, but
you don't have much time for looking around when you're
actually in formation. I'm absolutely no expert, and
I know it must get easier as you spend countless hours
on it, but it's very hard to hold position doing anything
but keeping your eyes on the plane you're lined up with.
That's why if the leader goes into the ground, sometimes
the rest follow...they don't have time to know it's coming.
