| Subject: | Re: Torque value for boss mount planepower alternator |
Thanks Brian,
I also found after some research the required bolt torques on the B & C website.
I believe that will be the same for planepower.
1.Mount alternator on engine case. Use the two bolts that are already in the bracket
and bolt the bracket to the boss with the two 5/16" NC tapped holes. Torque
the bolts to 110-150 in-lbs. Safety wire the bolts and bend the tabs up against
the flat of the heads.
2.Mount the belt tension arm in the standard location. The bolt is taped to the
belt tension arm. Install the other bolt (already on the alternator) through
the slot in the tension arm.
Michael
3.Install the belt (prop must be removed), adjust the tension of the belt, and
tighten the two belt tension arm bolts to 110-150 in-lbs. Safety wire these two
bolts also.
4.Tighten the long pivot bolt to 360-480 in-lbs.

Claudia and Martin Sutter built their first RV-6 in their living room - just rolled
back the carpet and went to work. I built mine in the garage and stored
all the finished pieces and some parts in the house: wing cradle and tail feathers
in the bedroom, canopy and cowl in the girls' closets, etc. It made for
some interesting conversation with visitors. RV-10 tail feathers were stored
above the kitchen cabinets until we moved back to TX and now have a hanger in
the back yard. That's the only way to go.
Whatever you do, you better have her on board 100% or your life will be miserable.

Deems,
There have been a few discussions on this with no definitive answers. Based on
my experience with Cessna nose wheel shimmy I think it is worth doing, at least
with the nose wheel though I will do all three. It isn't that hard to do and
it does not have to be exact to a nanogram. You are looking for fore-aft balance,
not top-bottom.
Temporarily attach a rod to the wheel pant in line with the axle. Hang it between
something and if the tail is heavy then epoxy some weight in the nose - or
vise versa.
You can make a good case that it is wasted effort on the mains since there have
been no reports of shimmy or damaged wheel pants that I am aware. There have
been so many issues with the nose wheel that it may be good insurance.

Dave, you're right on with this. I don't remember if I have
yet balanced my mains. I don't think I have, but I did on the
nose. If you have one side way heavier than the other, then
the arm of the weight will give it the tendency to really
put some action into the movement as you go over bumps or get
other vibrations. I know others who have seen shimmy problems
go away after balancing. As you said, it doesn't have to
be exact...just getting them more evened out is good.
For what it's worth, I don't think I did the mains (I
probably should, and will) but I have had some shimmy and
was surprised one day when John C. said he noticed that it
was one of my mains that was shimmying, kind of tipping
up and down, forward and aft. I'm sure balancing the tire
helped, but I think balancing the wheel fairing would
have been a good idea too. I just need to get out there
and do it this year while I'm repacking my wheel bearings.

I've got a note on my 'to-do list' to balance the wheels and wheel
pants. I remember seeing a writeup some where about someone who had not
only balanced they wheels, but also their wheel pants. I tried the
archieve search but came up short, anybody know anything about how you

| Subject: | Re: Balance wheel pants ? |
First, the reason. Balancing the wheelpants fore/aft takes the stress
off of the mounting hardware and the pant during rough operations
Second ... the how. Make another hole opposite the outboard bolt hole,
run a rod through the hole and balance ..... Just get it close since
any position other than 'completely level' will unbalance it due to the
pant CG. Epoxy and some lead shot work great when you find out how much
you need and where you need it. Also remember that it's additional
weight .....
Observation: I've never like the tubular gear on the RVs ..... they
look horrible rolling over rough ground/ramps ..... the walk, not roll.
:-P . But they do seem to stand up, so who am I to complain.

RV-10 Nosewheel Axle replacement write-up
I'll give you that. It is nice to be able to set the preload without
shortening the axle. It is also nice to have a little bigger bearing
surface on the face of the bearing. But, with all that said, I really
don't think Van's 2nd take at it is broken. The original steel
spacers were not adequate, which Van's at least partially acknowledged
with the new part, although I don't know if they have started
shortening the axle to provide the preload necessary to keep the
bearings from spinning on the axle. N256H had a shimmy in that area
because of that. But, since replacing them with the aluminum spacers,
there appears to be no more problem. I think most shimmy is coming
from the fork pivot being too loose and the need for spacers in the
upper shock mount for the gear leg.
