    Another alternative for those not wanting to manufacture their own access plate is available from Dave Ward.

    Subject: Running wire through bulkhead
    From: Rob Kochman <rv10rob@gmail.com>
    How did you run wire past the bulkhead between the baggage area and rear seats? The 3/4" holes for wire on either side are definitely not big enough. Did you enlarge one or both of those holes (and if so, how large)? I called Van's and they wouldn't say how large you can make those holes. Did anyone run wires through the lightening hole, under the seat, and up through the seat bottom (between the side skin and cover)?

    This is how I did it. I ran three of Van's nylon conduits on each side. Another builder ran only two on each side and ran out of room.

    Subject: Possible problem with fuel over pressure
    While crusing at 12,500 feet I got an engine warning with the fuel system p ressure at 52psi. I turned on the electric fuel pump and it went away for 1 0 seconds and then was back. Thereafter, there was no effect whether the el ectric fuel pump was on or off. - Next I looked at the fuel flow indicator and it was spot-on and steady, als o the engine never wavered. I am thinking that it is probably a sensor prob lem or the wiring associated with the sensor. Flew a second flight yesterda y with no warning. - Has anybody had experience with such a problem? It seems improbable that a mechanical fuel pump running at a somewhat low rpm would create that much p ressure. - Bill DeRouchey N939SB, flying -

    I have never seen this. I would definitely check the sensor connection first, and maybe even the engine monitor setting for the sensor. A call to your engine builder will tell you if it is even possible for the engine-driven pump to put out that kind of pressure. do not archive Jesse Saint Saint Aviation, Inc. jesse@saintaviation.com Cell: 352-427-0285 Fax: 815-377-3694 On Apr 13, 2009, at 11:36 AM, Bill DeRouchey wrote: > While crusing at 12,500 feet I got an engine warning with the fuel > system pressure at 52psi.

    I see on the section 27-6 (firewall) that they have one install the Heat vents . In figure 2 they show the adel clamps on the top of the vents (to hold the cable) but nothing to indicate what screw and the size of the clamp used. Is it a DG4 (1/4) or a 3/16. What are those who have done this used for the clamps. Thank you! Pascal

    Good timing.. I was just looking at that yesterday too. The stainless steel ones that I got didn't have the predrilled hole like the Van's version did or mentioned the adel clamp. My thought was to wait until the plans call to install the cable and used whatever fits. Although by then, working room may be significantly tighter.

    Subject: Door Closed switches
    From: "McGANN, Ron" <ron.mcgann@baesystems.com>
    Well here's another one for the books. My airpath compass is located on the extreme left side of the panel. I spent almost 4 hrs on the weekend trying to get the compass and GRT magnetic heading aligned. N-S was ok, but there was 30-35 degrees difference at E-W between the GRT Heading and compass. Drove me nuts. Finally confirmed the error was in the compass by creating my own compass rose on the hardstand. The problem was the magnet in the door pin! There is probably less than 12" from the magnet to the compass, but they are strong little suckers. So, went and ordered a SIRS compass to mount on the windshield brace. I slept on it overnight and realised that my Trutrak VSGV control head has an internal magnetometer and also might be in the interference zone of the door magnet. Simplest solution is to get rid of the door magnet and use a microswitch instead of the read relay. Does anyone have any designs/installation instructions??

    Subject: Annual questions and tips
    Anyone find rudder pedals abrading the sides of the tunnel? Also another place to use the internal hex head CS 8-32 screws is a place under the gear leg /fuselage fiberglass. There is one screw there that will have to be removed with a right angle Phillips head tool or use an Allen wrench with the internal hex head CS screw.

    yes, mechanical things fail. After checking with one of the first to lose a door I decided not to install the light system. He said that the first time he lost the door there was no system; but the second time he lost the door the system was installed and he missed it. I just check the pins physically at engine start and before takeoff. Of course I can reach the pins and feel them in place; some have coverings there that make that sort of check difficult. _____ From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Chris and Susie Sent: Monday, April 13, 2009 8:05 PM Subject: Re: RV10-List: Door Closed switches Ron you could also just check the door is shut Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: McGANN, Ron <mailto:ron.mcgann@baesystems.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2009 10:32 AM Subject: RV10-List: Door Closed switches Well here's another one for the books.

    also the three fatal crashes of RV10s did not involve an unclosed door. You note that the NTSB report confirms doors found in the crash site. I specifically asked the question of the NTSB investigator for 210HM. The only door opening that came close to a fatal was 415EC?

    Subject: Re: Door Closed switches or not
    I always get the passengers in then I close the passenger door from outside to make sure it is shut properly. Then with normal TMPFISH check I push the front and back of door to make sure its shut and try and pull the handle up without pushing button. I have after marked door guides and not sure if they make things better or not. I also check the door handles when I do fuel radio check each 30 min. They have not moved yet. One should not need lights buzzers etc for a door it isnt a 747. Just another opinion ofcourse and I am no expert. Maybe somone can design a door that swivels from the front?

    Guys, I was not looking for a debate on whether I should have a door ajar annunciator or not. I decided long ago that I would have such a warning. I am days from first flight and have NO interest in removing the capability. The reed relay solution is entirely appropriate and should not be subject to many (if any) mechanical failure modes. I just should have thought a bit more about the magnets relative to the more sensitive instruments in the panel and have posted so that others who CHOOSE to go down this path do not make the same mistake. To my knowledge, the magnets/reed relay/annunciator are a standard inclusion in the kit these days.
