I think I only used 2 bolts per side but they were very close fitting (not drive
tight). There was no play.
I did not chill my bolts but did lub the shafts just a little. I used a rubber
tipped hammer to tap the final bolts in but chilling would help also. On the
second installation, I put my temps back in first then installed the 4 large
bolts, removed the small ones and installed the final small ones.
Note, if you installed the blue AN fittings on the fuel tanks for tank testing
and fuel line construction, you will have to take them back off so you can get
the lower outside 3/8 bolt in.

It was a bracket provided by Dynon. It mounts where the original

I purchased a high time used engine to test fly aircraft and settle coolin

s,as cooling and airframe issues were minimal.Experience of rebuilding was
fun ,cheaper than new but is time consuming and reduces resale.

| Subject: | Dynon AP Flight Test |
Here's the first take on a short test flight on the Dynon Autopilot.
The weather was turning bad, so we only got a 20 minute flight, but it
was enough to know that the AP works.
First of all, turning on the autopilot can be done on the Dynon
screen, through the AP74 (which I don't have installed yet), or via
the Control Wheel Steering switch on the stick grip (hold for 2
seconds and release). There are 2 presets when activating via the
switch, one holds current heading and altitude, and I think the other
flies your heading bug and altitude bug (I didn't test the second yet,
but it is a main setting, so it can't be easily changed). Using the
current heading and altitude also syncs the heading and altitude bugs
to your current heading and altitude. The CWS function worked great
and it grabbed my heading and altitude and held them fine. I haven't
gotten into tweaking the sensitivity and torque, but the default
sensitivity (10) and torque (100%) seemed to work great at first glance.
There are 3 modes for steering. The first is heading bug, which it
flew just fine. We have the HS34, so there is a dedicated knob for
changing the heading bug, which is really nice. It flew that all just
fine at what seemed like a standard rate turn. The turn rate and max
bank angle can be changed in the settings. Second is track mode,
which then gives you a track bug that you change with the heading bug
knob when in track mode. So, when flying a heading given by ATC,
heading mode would be used. When flying a desired heading/track,
track would be used. Both worked great, with smooth and even turns.
The third mode is Nav. A nice thing about having the HS34 is that you
can get GPS and Nav Radio inputs, so it will fly the HSI on either GPS
(GPS Steering via the ARINC data stream) using Track or on the Nav
radio using heading. It flew GPS Steering perfectly. Without the
AP74, you have to use the EFIS menus to change which mode is used.
Heading is default, so 4 button presses will change the mode (Menu -
AP - Mode - select mode).
The altitude modes, at this point, are either Altitude Hold or
Altitude Preselect. In either mode it gives you an indicator to trim
up or down as is needed. To change from hold to preselect, you just
move the altitude bug. Again, with the HS34, there is a "Value" knob
that defaults to set the Baro, but pushing the button changes that to
the altitude bug value control. Turning the knob changes the bug in
100ft increments. I don't know if they sit it like the AFS, where if
you turn the knob quickly the sensitivity changes, but it must have
something like that, because it is easy to tweak a couple of hundred
feet, but it can easily be set for 11,000ft, for example. There is a
preset vertical speed that is used for all climbs and descents within
the indicated airspeed ranges that are preset. You can set this
yourself, but as mentioned earlier, it is fairly deep in the menus, so
you can't adjust it easily. I would certainly like to at least see a
desired vertical speed for climb separate from descent. I usually
like to climb at 115kts or so, and like to descend between 300 and 500
fpm. It would be really nice to have an option to climb based on an
airspeed, but that will hopefully be forthcoming as the software guys
have time away from working on the new EFIS system. It would also be
really nice to be able to dial in a vertical speed instead of just
having a single preset. Again, this should be relatively easy in
software, but I don't know where it is on their priority list.
When the AP servos are installed and configured, you have an "AP"
indicator on the bottom left corner of the EFIS screen. Normally it
reads "AP:OFF-OFF". When taxiing or on take-off or landing rolls, it
reads "AP:SPD-SPD", basically stating that you are outside of the
speed range. I assume that the AP won't turn on when it reads that,
but I didn't test it. When the airspeed is below the point where it
starts to read, it goes back to "AP:OFF-OFF", so testing on the ground
is no problem. When activated, the screen reads "AP:HDG-ALT" or
"AP:TRK-ALT" or "AP:GST-ALT" (I assume it will say "AP:NAV-ALT" when
using the NAV radio, but I haven't tested that yet).
A feature that I like is the option of turning on either pitch or roll
control alone. When flying around sightseeing, it will be nice to be
able to turn and look at stuff without having to worry about
altitude. This can be done by activating the ALT function and leaving
the roll servo OFF. Also, until they get the vertical functions I
mentioned above, it will be nice to be able to trim for climb while
flying a Heading, Track or GPS Steering.
While this was not intended as a comparison between Dynon and TruTrak
Auto Pilots, I think some may be interested in knowing my take on
comparing this with the Digiflight II VSGV. The TT has the vertical
speed selection modes and the vertical GPS Steering (which is
fantastic for flying GPS approaches), but it lacks a way to level off
at a desired altitude. The Dynon has the altitude preselect, which is
really nice, but lacks the vertical GPS Steering. Dynon plans to have
this functionality when they come out with their AP76, but they have
put that on the back burner while they develop their new EFIS system.
The TruTrak also lacks a Heading mode (as long as it has a GPS input,
it rolls into TRK mode automatically), but most people in this case
would just fly Track anyway, probably, even if ATS gives them a
Heading to fly. I personally don't see this as a big deal (I know I
may be flamed for that).
For those who care, the calibration of the servos was really easy and
"clever". I was wondering while installing the servos (power, ground,
disconnect and 2 DSAB wires) how it would have you tell it which servo
was which, since they both are controlled through DSAB (Dynon Smart
Avionics Bus - all Dynon components communicate with each other using
these same two wires). When setting it up, it detects the 2 servos
and then asks you to center both controls, push the disconnect switch,
and then go to all 4 corners with the stick is it prompts you,
pressing the disconnect switch after each one. This detects which
servo is which and the range of motion. Then it will go to two
corners using the servos and ask you to confirm. I will say this,
that when trying to go back, it wasn't strong enough to lift the
elevator all the way up (the test is done on the ground, of course),
but with the needed trim indicator, I don't see this as a big
problem. I personally didn't have any problems with the original
TruTrak servo before going with the torque enhancer, although the
original servo didn't have a trim indicator, so it could have made a
difference if the plane was accidentally trimmed until the servo let
go (which I have heard of happening on at least 2 occasions, one with
the normal servo and one with the torque enhanced servo, in which case
I would probably be glad if I didn't have the torque enhancer).
If there are any specific questions, please feel free to ask off the
list (or on, if you think people will want to know). I am expecting
to get some more testing done in the coming days, so will know more
about the Nav tracking function (I didn't have a chance to test it
this flight, just the GPS Steering).

I have one on my 6A. I don't think my install was much different than a
stock van's cowl - except for the three rings.
The plenum OTOH was a real PITA. The fiberglass didn't fit the basic
shape and required a bunch of reworking. Then I added the fuel purge
valve for my AFP FI system to make it a little worse.
My oil cooler is mounted behind #4 (it's a 4cyl- so for you it would
probably be behind #6). I left some baffling material available in
order for me to mount the cooler as high as possible. The oil temp goes
to 185 on a warm day in May and flat-lines.....I get a little spike in
temp as I descend and land. CHT's for that side are fine too......
I would do it again after knowing that the plug/mold for the plenum had
been re-made....to fit....maybe they started over for the 540.....

I believe they are always in the loop, but don't exercise any force
unless they are turned on. They do, however, have drag on the
controls, just like the TruTrak. I took out the TruTrak servos and
installed the Dynon servos for the testing, so I don't expect there
would have been a noticeable change. I haven't worked the controls
without an autopilot servo connected in a long time, so I can't help
much there. They certainly don't create a great deal of drag, but I
would say they would be equivalent to the TruTrak.

oil temps as there are so many other items on my build that probably
have more of an impact on oil temps.

well it handles the plane, especially compared to the TruTrak line that

Barrett has a cold air sump that will bolt right on your engine, I did that
for mine. I don't have any comparative data about oil temps as I did mine

Cold air, and my temps are on the high side, in fairness I live in

| Subject: | Re: Sam James Cowl |
I've got the James cowl and the plenum, and I've been asked this
question before, and I still don't have a good answer. 1st I don't
believe the 7-10 mph speed increase that's advertised. I'm not seeing
that, and I don't know of anyone else that is. IMO the installation of
the cowl is likely more difficult than Van's. Van's uses Nomex honeycomb
material as a sandwich, and James doesn't, I believe he uses Paralam (?)
a fiberglass type of sandwich. The result is that the James cowl is more
'floppy' (technical term). which makes fitting a bit more of a
challenge. I went through 3 rolls of duct tape in the fitting of my
cowl. I needed the James RV10 cowl in order to fit the BPE cold air.
However I ended up modifying it anyway because there was no James cowl
solution to allow for filtered air for forward facing fuel servos. The
early versions of the James Cowl for the RV-10 had a smaller exit area
on the lower cowl. He modified that and fixed the earlier versions, but
again IMO the exit area is still small, especially if you use the
Forsling exhaust headers/collectors which take up much of that area.
Will James is experimenting with some larger (12%) intake rings, I
don't know if there is any change in performance as a result.
The plenum is another story, I found that the intake rings did not match
the cowl intake rings. I ended up cutting one off and
repositioning/rebuilding it. i spoke with several other builders that
did the same. I did NOT use the James baffling plans but rather Van's
baffle kit. This requires further modification of the aft portion of the
plenum. as it's different than the Van's baffling. I also had to
fabricate an oil filler neck and seal for access to the oil
filler/dipstick. And I put a pop-up for the AFP fuel purge valve. The
fit of the plenum to the front of the engine case was terrible, I ended
up cutting it off entirely, and reglassing a new one. I'm not an
aerodynamicist, but I believe the plenum would benefit from slightly
larger volume of air. As it come from Sam it woujld require a major
modification to allow, in hind sight, I believe I could have fabricated
my own plenum for the amount of time I put into modifying Sam's. With my
Phase 1 complete. I am seeing pretty good CHT's (366-388) with OAT 24C @
altitude. I believe the differential will get smaller as I balance the
injectors.
Oil/CHT temps. I live in the desert and I've always been worried about
high engine temps. I followed almost all of the James cowl installations
and flights that went before mine, and I had developed a bias that at
least the BPE Jame Cowl. Had some high temp issues. After my initial
flights I felt this was also true for me. I initially had oil temps of
235 F and CHT of 425F. I sealed all known baffle/plenum leaks. installed
louvers on the bottom of the cowl, and installed a deflector inside the
oil cooler mount. The total improvement after 10 hours of flying
amounted to no more that 10 degree reduction in temps. Frustrated I
moved on, and installed the wheel pants/leg fairings. And temps droppped
to Oil 185-195 depending on OAT, and CHT's as noted above. I don't know
if it's was coincident with the engine 'breaking-in' or not, but my
personal beliefe is that installing the pants/fairings added 15 kts to
the TAS and that increase of airflow through the cowl/oil cooler had the
biggest effect on temps being reduced.
Lastly is appearance. IMO there is no question that the James cowl is a
major improvement on appearance over the stock Van's cowl. It just looks
good! And I'm very happy with how it looks.
So there's some more data , use your own individual decision weighting
criteria for how important/unimportant those items are to you.

Jim,
This is a loaded question. As I am one of the few flying -10
SJ Cowl & Plenums I will take a stab at it.
There is absolutely no actual engineering in the James cowl.
It looked good to them so they made one for the 10 with no specific
reason to be that shape and inlet size etc... As far as install it's
really not much different than the standard cowl but you have to
consider the Plenum too. Again not much more work than the baffles on
the standard cowl. You also have to know if you are using Carb/FI//Cold
Induction etc... That being said once you are flying there will be a
fair amount of trial work to get Oil Temps & CHT's down. The outlet area
on the cowl is not sufficient to allow for adequate air flow over the
cylinders and out the bottom. Especially with the awesome Forsling
exhaust that flair out and further reduce the outlet area. Deems was
fortunate enough to build on our experience by immediately adding
several sets of louvers to the bottom of the cowl. Ideally one would add
a set to the oil cooler side of the cowl to aid in air flow through the
oil cooler but we both didn't want to ruin the lines. That Deems is so
vein. The unfortunate thing about BOTH cowls is the poor airflow through
the oil cooler wedge and out the cooling fins on the oil cooler. Someone
makes an insert to better take advantage of the airflow through the oil
cooler but barely. Plan on upgrading to the larger 2006 oil cooler (at
minimum) with this combination. We actually reconfigured the oil cooler
to receive direct RAM air into our even larger 2008 oil cooler. This had
the added benefit of not taking oil cooler air from the plenum providing
more air to cool the cylinders.
To answer your question I would do it again? If I know what
I know now then most likely but all the R&D initially required made me
wish we stuck with the Vans plans. You may find that once you are flying
that Vans idea of simple, light & plans built is a pretty good option.
That being said it is undeniably good looking

I used 2 temp bolts per wing, plus a little oil on the close tolerance bolts. We
had both wings on in 45 minutes, and I did not remove them or do a second install
per Van's. The only reason to pull the wings is to rivet the F-1099F and
G wing root fairing supports. I substituted CherryMax rivets for the AN470 driven
rivets. I figured if Van's calls for blind rivets to support the wing walk
area, CherryMax's would be adequate for the other supports. Disclaimer- I did
not check with Van's about the substitution. Use at your own risk.

Today I logged the last/final flight (1.3 hrs) of 40 Phase1 hours logged
on 24 flights. I never thought I'd get my fill of flying, but this came
close. Changed oil & filter today to 15W-50. Cabin cover arrived from
Abby. Fabbed some gust locks. No flying tomorrow. Sat Judy and I leave
for our 1st trip. Woohoo !

Wow - you guys are great with the help offered here.
Dave M gave me some great advice this morning. He said to go buy the 3/8" SERIES
8 bolts ($1.50/ea) at Ace Hardware to use as the temporary bolts. He said
to grind the threads down/off per Vans instructions. This high quality cadmium
plated product is sized slightly under dimension and after the threads are ground
off it slides in easily. He suggested using a minimum of 3-4 per side to
prevent scoring/gauling of the precision receptacle and to provide adequate support
to the wing.

Provo, Mon & Tues to visit a couple of the kids. They will probably
want a ride, maybe we should head to Bountiful?

'Things' during Phase 1
Initial problem with the wrong oil temp sender, oil temp read WAY too
low, replaced on 2nd flight.
Sticky/'chirpy' right brake flts 1-3
Heavy right wing, Left flap not set correctly.
Roll trim reversed (embarassed).
Confirmed need for speed controller on elevator trim.
Worries about high temps. As stated before probably over thought this one.
Problem with poor crimps on coax for transponder antenna.
Difficulty calibrating fuel tanks w/ Op Tech/JPI
Volume too low on Com2.
Dynon D10A b/u efis configed as kilometers per hour - kph vs knots per
hour-kts (I thought I had a world record RV10 for a moment).

This is sort of like seeing my daughter off to college Deems, for so long we
saw your journey building the -10 with bumps from the FAA medical along the
way but you are off and now out of the nest.. literally flying free!! (not
to mention darn fast too!)
Congratulations!

IMHO, STEC made a very good product, but the company and customer service
have gone down the tubes. They absolutely refuse to allow transfer of their
STC between certified planes, for any amount of money. Apparently the
management changed when Cobham came in, and it isn't a good picture. Given
that even if the autopilot were given to you, you would have to fab all the
interconnects, and any repair or parts would cost you certified prices, why
bother, compared to Trutrack, Dynon and others available in the OBAM
experimental market.
