    I am using the Infinities but have no flying time with them. Switch setup will be the same as Tim's since following his recommendations is a good rule of thumb. If you get a form fitting grip like the Infinities, be sure to "clock" them inboard about 15 degrees when you mount them - don't mount them straight up. This will keep your wrist in line with your arm as it lies across your lap. If you mount it straight your wrist will be bent back in an uncomfortable position. do not archive -------- Dave Moore RV-6 flying RV-10 QB - cabin top/fiberglass hell Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=232398#232398

    Michael, I think that is not a good idea for a couple reasons. That steel post will interfere with the radiation pattern making transmissions in some directions problematic. It is also your receiving antennae and will have the same challenge. To work at all it will have to be mounted on the plexi in front of the post and will look like hell. Do not underestimate the radiofrequency interference that it can generate which causes problems with many electronic devices (engine monitors, EFDs, etc.) which will be directly below it. It works acceptably on a bubble canopy if you are in a RV-6 and looking for a low cost alternative to a commercial comm antenna. It is not a good choice for an RV-10. do not archive -------- Dave Moore RV-6 flying RV-10 QB - cabin top/fiberglass hell Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=232400#232400

    Subject: Financing/Insurance
    I just went through this 3 months ago. Probably a good thing that Airfle et is now saying they are not loaning because they tried to royally screw m e. Long story short, they were using NAFCO to underwrite their loan becaus e they were not doing it at the time and tacked on their interest and fees on top of NAFCO's. Can you say 50% of the principal amount in Interest in 5 years! It wasn't pretty and I wouldn't touch Airfleet with a 20 foot pol e. They didn't even tell NAFCO all the relevant information and ended up q uoting the wrong loan type. Well I went with NAFCO directly and was very p leased for the most part. All of what you said sounds normal for their completed aircraft loan whic h they will give if you have the major components already even if you are n ot done. With that, it's a full 20 year loan at the lower interest rate ra ther than a short term up near 10%. As you discovered the down side is the y need flying type coverage. Jenny Estes at NationAir was very helpful in sorting out the in motion but not flying insurance they really needed. The checking out in a -10 requirement is a new one and I certainly didn't do t hat. I do have a Commercial with Multi and an IFR rating and around 600 ho urs though so that might have had something to do with it. I would ask for clarification on that. Unless you can find a local bank, your only option at the moment really is NAFCO. Give me a holler if you need any more info.

NAFCO will finance the project, but wants me to have FULL coverage f lying insurance to loan on firewall forward parts (engine etc.) They think I may go fly the thing without insurance once I get the engine hung and be out their money if I fold it up without coverage. Plausible I guess. Her e is an insurance quote I got from an agent they recommended. I told the a gent I have about 200 hours total with a high perf/complex endorsement and 15 hours in a V35 and no IFR. (I plan to be IFR rated by the end of summer .) The hull value is only 110k for now because I plan to borrow about 100k . I will raise this before I fly. I guess they want me to get a checked o ut in a -10 before they loan. Does this all sound reasonable? Any suggest ions on other lenders? EAA's Air Fleet Capital says they are not lending o n experimentals now. Thanks for input.

    Does the metal cup pressed into the end of the crank have to be removed before installation of the constant speed prop? I assume that cup is in place for fixed pitch props. But I can't find a specific reference to the need or procedure for removing it in the documentation. Even reading the procedure for changing between constant speed and fixed configurations doesn't directly address removal of the metal cup. Thanks in advance Bill

    Another comment, I have a used engine from a Piper Aztec. The prop on the Aztec goes to full feather on low oil pressure (Course Pitch / Low RPM). The Hartzel prop used on our application goes to fine pitch / high RPM on low oil pressure. With the Aztec governor, we were able to cycle the prop at low RPM on the ground during run-up, but not in flight. Changing the governor for the MT unit from Vans solved the problem.

    Subject: Re: Installing Hartzell prop on IO540
    If I remember right ...... Along with removing the front plug, you must also put in the aft plug. In the fixed-pitch mode, oil flows past the nose bearing into the hollow crank and back out through a hole next to the #1 crank throw. With the constant speed, you need to pressurize that hollow part of the crank .... hence the aft plug. Since I've never played with an IO-540 before I may just be blowing smoke, but .......

    In the plans where the stall warning is addressed, they refer to a snap bushing hole through the main spar for routing the wring to the aft portion of the wing and to the fuselage. Anyone know how big the hole is? I may have other uses for the hole.

    Your 401K is stronger than mine. It IS gorgeous paint as is JetGlow (S&W). My painter prefers PPG Concept and my background is about 60% Imron. Even the Saudi Prince might have trouble today with some colors. Short of resorting to Stewart's I am wondering if anyone has bested Tim's Base White per gallon? I can do some great pricing on Landing Gear Grey epoxy.

    Subject: Filtered Air Box - FAB (Filtered air BITC.....
    From: "AirMike" <Mikeabel@Pacbell.net>
    Ugg - what an ugly job. My 2 cents worth. First read the instructions like it says in vans instruction kit. The diagrams suck, so you have to read them and look at them several times. Also read Tim Olsen's excellent post on this item - it has a lot of good info. You kind of have to work on all of the parts together but start on the nose extension early. The whole process requires that you put on and take off the cowl about 50 times. 1. I think that the reason that Tim had trouble on the alignment is that the box is twisted as it comes from Vans - it is not straight. 2. I fitted my upper aluminum part of the box to the nose to get the length right and the alignment. It seemed to work out well. Not so great on the length, but great on the alignment. I cut off too much of the nose extension and had to glue it back on. 3. Do not overlook DLM's post on reinforcing the alt air system. Do not want to suck anything into your nice engine. Essentially, he says to put a reinforcement ring INSIDE the FAB to reinforce the flimsy fiberglass so that your rivets do not get sucked into the engine. His glass box failed at the rivets at 100 hrs. Thanks for the heads up Dave 4. Finally, spend a bit of time getting the cut out right for the mixture lever. It is a bit difficult to get the cut out just right on the pilot side of the box, and you do not want to have to redo it. 5. Be mindful of the orientation of everything especially the recessed aluminum top to the FAB and the dimple direction Any other hint on this ugly job will help all Good luck on an ugly job.

    Mike, I wasn't sure which thing you were talking about that I wrote...is this the page? http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/engine/20051127/index.html It's been so long that I don't remember as much about it as I should, other than that glassing the nozzle on the cowl was a pain in the butt, building the FAB was a pain in the butt, and the directions kind of stunk. :) It really wasn't THAT bad, but by the time you're at this step, building and fiberglass is starting to get old. I have yet to put the reinforcement ring inside mine, but thanks for bringing it up again...I need to remember to do that next time the cowl is off. There are definitely more fun parts of the plane to build. I was just thrilled that being an IO-540, I didn't need to install carb heat.

    If you are talking about the piece in the side? That gets cut out and ends up being a piece of scrap sheet aluminum for whatever use you see fit. There should be another piece of sheet aluminum already cut and pre-drilled.

    Subject: Re: Aircraft Tow
    How about building a batch to sell, kits, plans? Dick Sipp ----- Original Message ----- From: "Albert Gardner" <ibspud@roadrunner.com> Sent: Friday, February 27, 2009 1:34 AM Subject: RV10-List: Aircraft Tow I finished my tow machine and here is a picture. I have about $150 in it-I didn't have to buy a gear head motor, the wheel is from Harbor Freight at $9, the 2 batteries from Wal-Mart (the motor is a 24V so I have 2 speeds) but I kept buying the 1" square tube from Lowes and it was expensive. 2 problems: the space between the wheel pant and the tow wheel is too small so I have to extend the arms about 3" and I need to add a light so I can hook up in the dark. I'm thinking about a seat also so I can ride it around. I got the idea from a Kitplanes article a few years back. Albert Gardner N991RV Yuma, AZ

    Subject: wiring hole in the spar?
    It's a 3/8" hole and uses a SB375-3 snap bushing. It's discussed on page 13 -3. Vern Smith (324 finishing=3B engine baffles) From: dlm46007@cox.net Subject: RV10-List: wiring hole in the spar? In the plans where the stall warning is addressed=2C they refer to a snap bushing hole through the main spar for routing the wring to the aft portion of the wing and to the fuselage. Anyone know how big the hole is? I may have other uses for the hole. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail=AE is up to 70% faster.
