Most builders would likely agree how easy it is to accept the recommendatio
n of a respected firm that already consistently produces kits which are eas
y to build and contain reliability of quality for just about any novice tin
kerer. I can't speak to R.O.s.
I will say that products, chemicals, processes, tools & build talent are mo
ving (improving) at a far greater pace than most companies with sustained p
roduction power will adapt and incorporate - that is technology on the marc
h.
I for one, love the cooperative sharing of this community and the ability t
o improve, enhance or just modify a great product... "the four passengar cr
uiser airplane" with actual room to move during a memorable flight even whi
le sitting in the back with the kids, another adult friend or the family do
g.
Repeat Offenders... their name reveals their passion.
Of only our governments were more progressive, more entreprenuerial and les
s socialistic. Oshkosh tends to equalize that every year for one long but
nostalgically brief week.

Dave, we installed a metal fairing that Bud Warren fabricated. He had done
it before and was up to the challenge. I think it came out quite nice.
May save a paint job down the road should the windshield need replacement.
The installation was the easy part. Bud spent several hours fashioning the
fairing from a piece of sheet metal. This job is for the experienced, not a
novice or else you will probably be disappointed.

I spent several hours yesterday at the hanger re-arranging it to receive the fuselage
for final assembly. The winds were 25 gusting to 35 and today it will
be higher. The wind was almost straight down the runway.
This started me to thinking, I will have up to a quarter mile taxing to/from the
runway at 90 deg to the wind.
Question: what is the max x-wind you have taxied your 10 in with no problems and
what do you use as your limit? This is my first airplane with a free castering
nose gear and I am wondering how much of a problem this will create.

If you have an extra long taxi one option is to request to land long to
reduce the taxi distance.
I prefer the free castering nose wheel as it just goes where the fuse
tells it to vs. using the mechanical linkage to resist all those cross
wind forces.
Heading to the airport now 18 gusting 30.

I have implemented XM using the Spruce XM receiver and my own software. Ear
ly on I had sporatic problems resetting the box when there was an extensive
delay in data reception. It made the box appear dead until next boot.
-
Another user had problems when stopping and restarting his subscription and
getting the timing right for reception of the "refresh". Another significa
nt outage I had was because the whole XM system went down and I needed a "r
efresh". Once these problems were resolved it has not failed once in the la
st 12 months and comes up briskly with the first nextrad image within 5 min
utes.
-
We need to focus problems on the exact piece of equipment talking to the XM
receiver and the mfg of the XM receiver, and the software version in the X
M receiver. The specification for this communication is a guarded secret th
at-nobody will share (with me)-so there is-much room for errors with
reverse engineering.- If you have a copy please contact me.
-
Also, when the-network "refresh" is activated it will not begin for appro
x 30 minutes and times out after 3 hours - so you need to get the timing an
d antenna reception right.
-
None of these comments nor the lack of a clear problem definition surprise
me.

| Subject: | Max X-wind speed to taxi |
Yesterday at KWVI, AWOS was saying 17 gusting to 24. I taxied out with
almost a direct crosswind with no problem. It was the first time I noticed
that I had to use bit of differential braking to go down the taxi way. The
nose wanted to point into the wind, and adding rudder didn't help. But a
touch of brake steered it back to centerline.
I was taxiing 020, and the wind was about 250. I turned 080 to use runway
26 for takeoff. When I turned to taxi downwind, the stick gave me a pretty
stiff push. Keeping it centered took more thought and effort than keeping
the nose straight.
After working with 17 knots, I wouldn't hesitate to taxi with a 20 knot
crosswind. Just hold on to the stick!

Interesting question. I've had no issue taxiing in some pretty stiff winds.
My opinion is that if it's safe to fly, it's safe to taxi (even if the
direction is 90 degrees off for your taxi). The airplane is pretty stable,
although you need to tap the brake sometimes to help. I would recommend
against riding the brake though as it will certainly heat them more than you
would like.

| Subject: | Max X-wind speed to taxi |
I have had several problems with the wind, most of them traced to my owning
a Piper Archer with steerable nose wheel for many years and not anticipati
ng what might happen if the nose wheel can flop about.
-
I have learned (and probably learn again) that this aircraft desperately wa
nts to weather vane.-I have approached the last transit parking place wit
h the nose pointed downwind, got out and watched the plane make a nice quic
k 90 degree turn.
-
Taxiing will be slow-in a cross wind because although the braking will ef
fectively steer the plane it will also stop the plane. Here is where you do
not appreciate the leverage and force the wind exerts on the aft side of t
he fuse/tail.
-
In a high wind condition the takeoff technique is exactly opposite of my Ar
cher. Assume the crosswind is from the right. With the Archer I could start
the takeoff roll with some right rudder (nose wheel) and the aircraft poin
ting slightly to the right. When I tried this with the RV-10 the-wind on
the aft fuse rotated the plane clockwise-accelerating it to the right. I
almost lost it. Now in these same conditions I am ready to slam in a non-in
ituitive hard left rudder.
-
I find the castering wheel very different. Instead of focusing on where I p
oint the nose I focus on where the wind will push my tail.

I can't answer your question for the -10 ..... I'm still building
.... but I have many hours in my Grumman (AA-1B) with similar nosegear.
Bear in mind that the -10 is bigger so .......
Power and good brakes will whip any crosswind .... short of hurricanes
and tornadoes! :-P so taxiing shouldn't be a problem. Once you
master the cross-controlled landing, it's a piece of cake ...... just
remember that there's a rudder back there and use it. You'll be amazed
at the number of 'high time pilots' that forget to move the rudder!!!
When you get a landing in a high crosswind .... write it down. That's
your demonstrated crosswind capability and should be in your aircraft
handbook. Keep it updated!!! My Grumman manual has a notation:
Demonstrated crosswind component 36 MPH, Nov. 10, 1999.
Having said all that, I don't think I'd go looking for a high number
just to say I did it!!!

| Subject: | Re: Max X-wind speed to taxi |
I agree with Marcus...if it's safe to fly you can probably taxi it
fine too. I was VERY worried about how it would be to taxi with
no steering nosewheel. I found it to be a breeze in crosswinds,
pun intended. It really wasn't hard at all to get comfortable with.
When I went for transition training, I was in winds of 20-25 and even
30kts with good crosswinds some of the time. I think some local
AWOS systems even said 35. Yet the RV-10 seemed to be just great
in it all. For crosswind landings (and all landings) it certainly
beats everything else I've flown. Just like Marcus says, tap the
brakes when you need, use the rudder as much as is appropriate, and
never ride the brakes. The cirrus's have had brake fires from
dragging brakes. When the winds are 20+, taxi isn't the worry,
holding the doors when you open them is a bigger concern.

OK, speaking of doors ..... has anyone suffered damage because the wind
caught the doors? Any other concerns with the doors??? Any 'fixes'
that you'd do when you're assembling the doors??? I'm getting ready
to do mine ..... educate me!!!

Best add a strap you can hold onto when you open it. Also use it to
pull it closed.
I don't let my passengers open the door if there's any wind to speak
of.....

The adjusting and making the doors line up will require you to "fix" that
fit after you trim everything
The trimming to get the doors to close will require a whole lot of "fixing"
the aligning/leveling of the doors with the canopy will require lots of
"fixing" with flox and micro
The whole door is a "fix", expect lots of hours fixing it to fit.
My advice concerning the seals is buy a smaller one than what Van's thinks
will work, it's pretty sad to see perfectly fitting doors not fit at all
after installing the seals and having to start all over again trying to
"fix" it to fit..
Have fun! I just finished mine took months to complete, but can be done in 1
month non stop, aka- I took breaks between pages to let things set and
replace electric tools that the composite cutting and mainly sanding
destroyed, .

Dave, we installed a metal fairing that Bud Warren fabricated. He
had done it before and was up to the challenge. I think it came out
quite nice. May save a paint job down the road should the windshield
need replacement. The installation was the easy part. Bud spent
several hours fashioning the fairing from a piece of sheet metal. This
job is for the experienced, not a novice or else you will probably be
disappointed.

An aluminum fairing is available for the RV-10 wind screen. Has
anyone installed one of these? For those who have glassed in their wind
screen, would you use a fairing if you had to do it again?

We did a repair for a lucky customer whose door came open just after
take-off. He was able to land straight ahead. The door opened all the way,
broke the gas strut brackets off the door, but otherwise had no other
damage. We did a very thorough inspection of the hinges and other attach
structure and it was all fine.
I taxi with the doors open all the time. I think opening the doors in a
crosswind would be pretty safe, just a hassle because of all the other
wind-related issues, but I don't think you'd break anything.

think of it this way..
expect the worst, like my fixing, and be pleasantly surprised when you
discover I had no idea what I was doing and you get it done without any
issues. Sure beats me telling you its easy; just trim, tuck and snip snip
and your done.
You'll thank me one day ;-)

If I was going o do them again,,,, GOD forbid,- I would insert a strength
