    Subject: Performance data for N519PJ
    With the wheel pants & leg fairings installed, I set out this am to record some speed/performance data. Here's the results. I haven't validated the IAS so I don't know if there's an error in the static ports. After paint they are essentially flush with the skins, and I understand that can be a problem. I'm not sure how this is going to format so I'm also attaching a spreadsheet version of the data.

    Thanks Deems! Good stuff. Now I don't have enough time on my -10 to make an informed statement (that never stops me) but I know my little 6A loved higher. I flew to Cottonwood the other day at 11,500 GPS = 197.00 Kts. Now we all find a tail wind once in a while so I don't put ANY weight into that number but I believe that 6,500 is still less than ideal for optimizing speed in our similarly configured planes (BPE, SJ, Portly). Regardless solid numbers for a wonderful design & your beautiful build. Robin

    When I did my step installation I machined aluminum blocks that provided a clamping structure for the step bolt to work against. I detailed the installation on our web site. I've had enough folks ask to make these machined bushings available, so we are adding them to our available products at TCW Technologies. Here's a direct link to the details, scroll to the bottom of the page for the step bushings: http://www.tcwtech.com/RV-10-construction-project.htm Bob Newman #40176 TCW Technologies, LLC.
