    This is old news. Van's switched exhaust kits early on. They never updated the plans. Even my kit that's been flying for over 3 years now has this Vetterman exhaust, so most builder pics you will find will not resemble plans. I'm not sure how many kits were shipped with the old system, but it was under 170.

    Subject: Sony e-reader and ifr charts
    There was a mention of Sony ereader and PDF Approach Plates a while ago which sparked my interest. I fly a few times a year from SE Florida to New Mexico and carry a suitcase full of approach plates. My favorites are Florida which is so thick that you cannot fold it over and Texas, with three books in all. If you do not know where your destination is (geographically in Texas) on the chart you do not know which book to open to find the plate. I bought the ereader 505 for $ 269, including shipping, form Amazon with generous return policy. After downloading the entire US charts from http://readerplates.com ($10, no subscription required), I found that while magnify the plate, the orientation of the plate changes from portrait to landscape. This requires turning the reader 90 degrees to view the chart. Although I can read the chart without magnifying it, I found this to be a disadvantage. I solved the problem as shown in the following pics ( I hope that I have not clogged someone's download files with these pics). First picture shows an aluminum plate with couple of heavy duty velcro strips (they are about 3/16" thick), a hole I drilled and counter-sunk in the plate and the knee pad, the ereader and a plastic coffee can lid that provides the friction. Friction mechanism, courtesy of my smarter friends. The second and the third pictures how they assemble. The forth picture shows the velcro on the back of ereader. I placed it based on my needs. You may place it anywhere you think will work for you. Also, the screw holding the assembly has to be cut very short with a low profile lock washer to fit under the ereader. The next pictures show the different orientations. With the push of one button and flip of a finger, the ereader goes into landscape magnification mode. I flew an approach yesterday and believe that this is a good alternative to carrying a lot of charts short of upgrading my now three year old (outdated!) equipment. I plan to print the plates for my destination and the alternate from AOPA site and carry the ereader for unexpected diversion. The folks at readerplates.com are very responsive. The organization, the magnification and navigation of the plates are easy and logical. I am sure people with machine shops and smarter folks can come up with better solution.

    From the original group of builders I think Randy was the only one that actually had the one-tailpipe configuration. Anh N591VU-flying On Sun 03/22/09 8:38 AM , Tim Olson wrote: This is old news.

    Just the Plates. I wish I had a solution for the charts. At least with the charts, you are not carrying a huge bundle. I was thinking of scanning the chars I usually use, based on Vector Airways and loading them into the reader to see how it will work. If I do, I will report on it. do ot archive.

    From: "Jim Berry" <jimberry@qwest.net>
    I glassed mine, and would do so again. It seems to me that it would be at least as much work, if not more, to trim the metal fairing to a good fit. I would make one change from Van's instructions. If you make all pieces of your layup full length it is going to be pretty thick at the door opening, and will be difficult to get a smooth transition to the door. I have seen several -10s with a noticeable bulge in this area. I made the first 4 layers of my layup full length, then cut each additional layer 1" shorter than the previous layer on each end. No bulge. Jim Berry 40482 N15JB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=235666#235666

    Subject: Vetterman Exhaust system - Page FF6-2 frm 2007
    From: "John Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    Talking of old news and old fogeys. My memory came up with Chris Stepp from American Exhaust who was talking with me when I began talking to John Forsling on the Barrett project. The desire was a tuned system to improve on Air/Fuel balance, ported heads for extraction of a few more ponies than from a more conservatively built Aerosport. Attached are the First Gen VANS/Vetterman system that the original plans drawn from (I think for the first 140+ kits). Then Chris sold his unique "One Off "design to Larry Vetterman who changed it to the Second Gen VANS "now known as Vetterman" for mass production. Although they did not achieve the identical exhaust flow that I desired, they did go to the dual collectors, dual heat muffs, and improved hangar support helped. The intent was to reduce or eliminate the irritant popping sound that would intermittently emanate when cutting throttle quickly as the ole four banger RVs would turn base to final. The reduced exhaust pressure of a short stack was thought to contribute. Hence today a longer stack to discharge distance. At this point it would be wise to tap into the body of ROs (Repeat Offenders) to mention the rapidity of cracks found in their RV6,RV7 or RV8 right side exhaust stack mounts from vibration and the inherent advantage in the use of stainless bracketrage, improved temperature exhaust nuts and copper loctite. The old-timers that have done a few Conditionals like Randy, Tim, Doug, Vic, Scott and others can mention if that pattern is being repeated into their 10s. It would show up about every 3 to 4 years, sometimes every other. One of the values of this list is that this IS where the plans updates are discussed UNOFFICIALLY. You Tim, have been a major contributor to those improvements to the build community. Who Got the first Chris Stepp designed dual muff RV-10 exhaust set? Builder Number Please!

Van's switched exhaust kits early on. They never updated the plans. Even my kit that's been flying for over 3 years now has this Vetterman exhaust, so most builder pics you will find will not resemble plans. I'm not sure how many kits were shipped with the old system, but it was under 170.

    Subject: Aileron pushrod holes
    Today I started working on the rear wing spars. The instructions show a "squared" hole to be cut into the W-1007D doubler plate however the hole in my rear spar is actually a "teardrop" shape. Am I to modify the hole in the spar or simply copy the shape in the spar? A picture is attached. Also, the doubler plates overhang the slot cut into the spar (slot is for the flap brackets I assume) just a little. Do I need to trim the doubler plates to the slot in the spar?? Another picture is attached.

    Two Loctite products that we use are C5-A which is Loctite #51005, Copper based Anti-Seize Lubricant (good to 980 C / 1800F) and then for our turbine hot sections we resort to overkill with Loctite #51102, Nickel Anti-Seize (good to 1315C / 2400F). If you like to look for cheaper Milspec alternatives it is MIL-PRF-907-E. It is always a good call to use nuts rated to the additional heat of a head flange or collector attachment. I vote for the second and higher torques listed cause I seem to remember a hardware improvement over stock configuration.

    Subject: Wind screen fairing
    I'd just reiterate my input that.I cannot imagine a cleaner intersection on these RV's (4,6,7,8,9,10) than what is already out there. I just cannot. The fleet has not had these problems to much of a degree and, especially when the windows are secured with adhesive (I used sikaflex on my 7A). You say 10 or 20 years, I have owned a lot of airplanes that had windscreens older than that which remained serviceable.so I think to some degree it depends what you're willing to fly behind. I'm not saying don't go for sheet metal fairing solution, but understand that when you apply solutions to (what I'd consider in this case) non problems, sometimes you get less than what you started with, especially with thousands of flying examples using a technique that is well known, easily accomplished and well documented. That would seem to be the case here.but I have not seen an installation with a metal fairing, only hundreds done the glass/micro/layup way. I am biased, I guess, I think they look great, and in fact are in my opinion one of the big selling points of the basic RV design.
