    Does anyone know of a service or program that is user friendly that allows one to play with their paint scheme and see it from different angles. I remember reading something in our magazines about such a service but it w as a paint scheme designer and their consultaion was about half the cost of actual painting the plane. Thanks=2C JOhn G.

    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.

    From: "Robin Marks" <robin1@mrmoisture.com>
    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 Downloadable files: http://www.painttheweb.com/rv10/index.aspx end result: http://www.painttheweb.com/rv-10/paint.htm From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of John Gonzalez Sent: Monday, February 09, 2009 7:25 AM Subject: RV10-List: computer simulation of paint scheme Does anyone know of a service or program that is user friendly that allows one to play with their paint scheme and see it from different angles.

    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? -- Tim Olson - RV-10 N104CD - Flying do not archive

    From: "jayb" <jaybrinkmeyer@yahoo.com>
    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. http://www.flightlineinteriors.com/products/construction/default.asp Thanks, Jay Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=229369#229369

    Subject: computer simulation of paint scheme
    From: John Cox <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    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
    From: "Robin Marks" <robin1@mrmoisture.com>
    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: 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. do not archive Jesse Saint Saint Aviation, Inc. jesse@saintaviation.com Cell: 352-427-0285 Fax: 815-377-3694 On Feb 7, 2009, at 5:06 PM, Jeff Carpenter wrote: > > > > This is the panel I want (well, what I really want is a Garmin > G900X), but the current economic conditions are making it look like > I'm going to have to work up to this panel instead of getting it all > at once.

    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.

    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. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=229389#229389

    Keep Dreamin' John...... I think we'll see 1000 easy enough...maybe or maybe not before OSH 2009...certainly by OSH 2010. But I won't hold my breath for a formation of 10 RV-10's. For one, I'm not qualified to lead such a thing. And the same token goes for so many of the RV-10 community. I'd have a hard time finding 10 RV-10 builders that I'd trust (myself included) to fly in one formation. It's tougher than it looks. Then there's the OSH approval. Maybe someday we'll get a group motivated to go and get the training and do the photo shoot, but until then, I think seeing 2 or 3 together is great. Fly safe!

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.

    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.
