| Subject: | Airflow Performance Injector Matching |
I have an IO-540-C4B5 engine with Airflow Performance injectors.
I have followed their process for matching the fuel flow.
Attached are the numbers before and after.
Before:
Cylinder #2 was leaning first (12.8 Gal / Hr), Cylinders #1 and #4 were
leaning last (12.2 Gal / Hr).
Airflow looked a the data and
recommended changing the #2 cylinder from 0.028 to 0.0285 and Cylinders #1
and #4 from 0.028 to 0.027.
After: The cylinders are
pretty much grouped at 12.35 - 12.15 Gal / Hr range.
Cost was
$25 per cylinder for inserts. (My cost was about $85 with
shipping)

| Subject: | Starter replacement |
I don't know if any of you had the problem that I had with the starter
or not. We installed the engine in 2005 with a Sky-Tec High Torque HT
starter, which supposedly was the best one they had back then. Anyway,
whenever I would do a cold start of the engine the prop would make about
a half revolution and stop, like it didn't have enough power to it. I
would then try again and it would turn fine.
Another RV friend of mine on my field told me about a new starter that
Sky-Tec came out with that took less volts and turned the prop slower.
It's a High Torque in Line NL. This friend was having the same problem
with his 7, which has high compression pistons. We both switched to this
new NL starter and it solved our problem. The new starter weighed a
little bit more than my old one, something like a pound. I live in TX,
so cold isn't a problem but I fly up into the cold country and was
worried I wasn't going to get started on some cold day.
Sky-Tec are really good people located right here near me in Granbury,
TX and they took my old starter in on trade against the new one and it
cost me $250 to upgrade. I thought that was a pretty good deal.
Anyway I just thought I would pass this along in case any of you are
experiencing the same problem as I had.

The NL is a good choice. Just be aware if you have any mag/ignition
issue that could cause a kickback, the NL starter has a shear pin to
protect the starter. Unfortunately, you have to remove the starter
from the engine to change the shear pin.
Another good choice is the Kelly Aerospace E-drive starter.
Advantages...uses clutch to protect against kickback, lower current
draw than Skytec. Both are high torque. Priced within $10 of each
other. Same warranty. Within 0.1lbs of each other. I've heard good
reports on both. I have a Skytec Flyweight on my aircraft, because it
was on it when I bought the plane. Has same issues you mention, has
needed 2 rebuilds in less than 800 hours.

Afternoon group,
Not sure if anyone is planning to attend but....
if you are and......
if you're wanting to fly around for a couple minutes with some extra ballast than
what you brought with you....
Then my name is ballast :)
Weather permitting and the thunderstorms pass through tonight I plan to be there
in the 7A - 277DL.

I stole this from Tim's post to the AeroElectric list. Added my Harbor
Freight discount coupon to pound the price down to $80.
Happy Father's Day all you more than 700 RV-10 builders that are not yet
finished and flying. Don't forget to cut off my name at the top before
redeeming it at Harbor Freight near you. Oh, and Rick congrats on N246RS
making my completed list. The camera mounts up to a HD laptop just fine
for Conditional Inspections. There might even be a few of you that will
redeem it for our brethren over the pond and send it packing to share in
the experiment.

I picked up one today too for $99. Haven't tried it out
yet. It looks like the camera may just fit inside the larger
spark plug holes...has anyone verified this? Also, if anyone
hears of the smaller camera for sure working with this model,
and finds a great price on it, I'd consider buying one as
well. Right now I have no use for the whole darn thing, but
I have a really hard time passing up on cool tool that
you may find very helpful some day.

| Subject: | 2009 NW RV-10 Builders and Flyers Spring BBQ Pictures now available |
Pictures now available of the 2009 NW RV-10 Builders & Flyers BBQ held at
Lenhardt's Airpark in Oregon.
We had fine weather and around 60 participants, according to one count.
Four RV-10's flew in, each of which was displayed nicely on the cover of the
latest EAA-105 newsletter. A complete set of pictures can be found at
www.jessen-rv10.com. Click on NW RV-10 Dinners in the top menu. Scroll
down until you get to the 2009 Spring picture, then click on that.
The four RV-10's that flew to the BBQ included Randy Debauw, Bruce Radke,
Norm Rainey, and Tim James. Rob Hickman's was in the shop being painted.
Bruce and Becky Breckenridge had their completed empcone and wings out for
examination and critique, as well as a demo of Jeff Bordelon's LED nav
lights (http://www.jeffsrv-7a.com/LEDPROJECT1.htm). Paul Grimstad had his
rudder pedals on display. Beautiful and affordable!
Jerry VanGrunsven was ask to do yeoman's service, leading this meeting's
discussion, the topic of which was the flying characteristics of the RV-10,
including what to think about prior to first flight. Current 10 flyers
joined in during the Q&A. The conclusion? Definitely get some time in the
left seat before your first flight. But don't be intimidated. The plane is
stable and has great handling characteristics. It definitely has power and
speed, so get the training if all you've flow recently is a 172. Learn how
to stay ahead of the plane and you'll be fine. Included in the discussion
was an update on the flying characteristics of the new Hartzell 3-blade
composite prop, which is being test flown by Rob.
The "fall" NW RV-10 Builders and Flyers dinner will be held on Friday,
August 28th, which is the evening before the RV Homecoming. Bob Brown and
Norm Rainey will be our hosts. This will be at Independence, OR (7S5). We
expect a good RV-10 showing. Let me know if you plan to attend so Bob and
Norm can have a good count for planning purposes.
See you then!

| Subject: | Bonaco Fuel lines - selector to wing |
Have you ever had a duhhhhh moment. Well I did today after receiving my Bonaco
fuel lines.
I cannot believe that I spent as much time as I did messing around with the Vans
aluminum fuel lines. I have no doubt that I have over 15 hours invested in those
aluminum lines that are now residing in the trash can. The 42" Bonaco lines
are a tad short if you run them exactly as Vans has it in the plans.
I drilled a new 1" hole in the tunnel wall creating a more direct route, and
they fit fine. The fit is fast and I have no doubt the they are much safer than
the hard aluminum lines. The lines are very well made and the SS web is even
covered with a thick plastic abrasion covering. For newbies getting into the
tunnel area save hours of work and just order up these lines. Faster - safer
- better. If you have any questions, e-mail me on this web site or call Brett
at Bonaco.
