    From: "McGANN, Ron" <ron.mcgann@baesystems.com>
    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 VH-XRM FLYYYYINGGGG "Warning: The information contained in this email and any attached files is confidential to BAE Systems Australia.

    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. http://wellenzohn.net/Fuelsystem_web/index.html by the way check out my new website (test phase) http://wellenzohn.net/HBYNN/index.html Cheers Michael -------- RV-10 builder (engine, prop, finishing) #511 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=240456#240456

    From: "Robin Marks" <robin1@mrmoisture.com>
    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
    From: "Bob Turner" <bobturner@alum.rpi.edu>
    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. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=240538#240538

    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. -------- Myron Nelson Mesa, AZ Emp completed, legacy build fuse in progress Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=240573#240573

    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.
