| Subject: | Another 10 launch |
G'day all,
Hot on Deems' tail, VH-XRM punched holes in the wild blue yonder at 1530 Ad
elaide time 21 April under the expert airmanship of Jon Johanson. A full t
hrottle under power condition (2580 rpm)was treated with some minor tweaks
of the governor and she has a slightly heavy right wing. Other than that,
and some inappropriate alarm configurations on the EIS, everything went ext
remely well. Jon was amazed at the full flap stall speed of 45kts indicate
d and even given his experience, I reckon the grin on his face was bigger t
han mine!
1660lbs with paint and in flying configuration. Oh what a feeling!!
cheers,
Ron

Hi Pat,
I actually build one my own just bending two flanges on apiece of sheet metal.
I installed it way down near the bottom skin in the tunnel and used the Andair
extension since I plan to have the fuel selector be integrated in a future center
console.
Here are some pictures but it doesn't show the final stage. I'll try to get them
done tomorrow and will post them here.

Ron,
That is fantastic! And to have a celebrity perform the
maiden flight to boot. I bet you are glad there were a few EFIS alarms
or Jon may have just carried on around the world one more time. It's
getting exciting hearing about all these new first flights. I am really
happy for those who are at the end of their build and seeing their
dreams turn into a flying reality. I am also thrilled for those like Tom
with kit #950 and the beginning of his odyssey. (but I am also glad I am
not there anymore). Please send photos and updates on your Phase 1
equivalent when you can and BAVO on a less portly flying -10.

Welcome to the group. Alexander is a GREAT way to start. I went the same route
when I started. If he is still there Jacob is a wealth of knowledge and extremely
good at what he does, but then again so were all of the folks there that helped.
You will be tired at the end of the day but will be so excited at the immediate
progress you see you will have the first installation of the 'RV grin'.
What you learn there will help you the entire project. You have taken the leap
and started the project, enjoy the ride.

| Subject: | Re: Andair Fuel Valve Bracket & Location |
I received a "hybrid" QB fuselage: old style fuel valve, mounting bracket (already
installed), plumbing. New style tunnel cover (with cloverleaf hole), valve
extension, handle, instructions (imagine the confusion!).
Vans said they'd support whichever configuration I wanted, so I had them send me
the new style mounting bracket and valve. So I had no pre-punched holes to go
with, but I put the new holes 3.5" down from the top of the center ribs. Hope
this helps. BTW, with the long arm extension, getting the angle, and fore-aft
correct was more important than the depth (you can always shim the depth with
washers) since I already had the cloverleaf hole in the tunnel cover. Also,
it took a few back and forth emails with Vans to convince them that they had sent
the wrong spring for the handle. After they realized there was a problem,
they sent a letter to recent buyers. Everyone involved should have received the
new spring by now. If you're going the Andair route, this doesn't affect you,
of course.

That bracket threw me for a loop. Some drawings show it flanges up and some show
it flanges down.
I ended up making an adapter plate to go on top of the bracket and mounted the
Andair valve to that using the extension. It may not have been the easiest way,
but it all fits nice and I have no scat clearance problem.

I'm sure that as soon as you begin the real finishing, mounting wheel
pants, fairings and tweaking anything found in the phase 1, those grin
aches will be balanced by frowns figgering out what needs fixing,
upgrading, reworking, rerigging, etc.
Aren't we builders supposed to be rehearsing the RV grin daily??

| Subject: | Transponder questions |
Today, I was informed by tower that they were not receiving my
transponder, (GTX 327). Once back on the ground, I dug out the
installation manual, and found a diagnostic 'page' on the display that
purports to display the encoder input altitude, It displays both the
binary, as well as the decoded altitude, In this case it was displaying
1300 ft (baro adjust altitude at the field was 1400). To my uneducated
mind this suggests that the encoder is providing some (perhaps
erroneous). Alltitude info to the transponder. So. where should I look
next? I originally had the 'pole' antenna installed, but changed it out
for the Commant blade style, Is the antenna/coax/ connections the next
logical place to look.
Any suggestions gladly received?

Were they not seeing transponder reply, or just altitude? IMHO, you
need a transponder certification anyway. Atlantic, nee Westwind used
to have that capability, and relatively cheap for VFR cert. Since you
are in Class B 30 mile arc, you need a fix pronto before the FSDO
takes an interest.

Kelly they aren't seeing anything, and I'm not seeing any
'pings/replies' on the unit in the panel. I agree, this needs to get
fixed before going aloft again, don't want to wake up the bear. I do
need the cert, but I need to have something certifiable, which at
present I don't. I'm going to go down the antenna route, coax, pins,
shield, connectors, ground, etc. and see if that leads to an improvement.

You are fortunate in that there is at least one, probably two ATC
radars that should splash DVT if you are clear of the hangars, on the
north ramp. PHX has a new one at Union Hills and Central Ave, and of
course Luke's radar is pretty new and also close by. So if you power
up from external power, you should be able to test ping on the ground.
With the unit getting power, lighting up, either your antenna isn't
feeding a signal in, to trigger a reply, or the transponder output is
no good. Avionics shop may be willing to see if it works on the bench,
gratis. Infant mortality is not unheard of.
