    Subject: Flap Bulge - Leading Edge
    From: jason.kreidler@regalbeloit.com
    Lessons for Oshkosh.... A while back we noticed the nose of our flaps bulges slightly below the bottom wing skin. The bulge is not consistent along the length of the flap. While at Oshkosh I compared our flaps to other examples and found that this is a fairly common problem (if it can be called a problem). All of the aircraft with retracted flaps I looked at had the problem, except one (Vans demo RV-10). I did not look at all of the examples on display. I talked to Ken K. about this, he seemed surprised. I asked if it would be OK to hand form the leading edge to eliminate the bulge, he said that would be good. He also said we could bend the bottom wing skin down a bit. We had quick build wings (including the flaps). Just passing along the observation.

    Subject: Forward Slips
    From: jason.kreidler@regalbeloit.com
    I would like to pass along a flight test experience I had. I initiated a slip at 85 knots (note well below Va) (zero degree flap setting), the rudder pedal was fairly hard to push, however as it approached what I would guess to be just beyond the middle of its travel the 'tone' of the airframe changed, and the rudder became much easier to apply, the airplane 'jerked' further into the slip, and felt as if it was going to swap ends. It did not roll much, just an abrupt yaw. I then had to apply opposite rudder to return back to neutral. I did not get to the rudder stop. The rudder almost felt as if it went 'over center'. Weight & Balance during this test 2510 LBS @ 112.7". Note I was using pitch to maintain airspeed, and aileron to control heading (or track). After this happened I spoke with a few others who are flying, no one had performed this maneuver. I then spoke with Ken K. about this while at Oshkosh. He said he had experienced the same thing, although he entered it quickly by stomping the rudder pedal to the floor. He could not explain exactly what was causing the problem, he thought it might be dihedral stability. I told him the I suppose the right answer is "don't do that", he quickly replied that maneuver may be required if the flap motor was lost, and you were forced to slow down and land without flaps. I also spoke with Alex D. about this, he has also experienced the same thing, he said it is worse when you have -3 degrees reflex, and still there at 0 degrees. I have done this with one and two notches of 'real' flaps and was able to do full slips. Ken K. asked me (with a smile) if I had enough 'guts' to get the rudder all the way to the floor to see how far it went, I didn't. At least not before understanding what is going on, and if this is limited to our copy. After experiencing this I have a few takeaways. 1) Expect the unexpected, I hate surprises, imagine the surprise while performing a fairly standard maneuver and getting a result never experienced before. 2) Don't do that.... 3) Share what is learned even at the risk of what replies are sure to come. I say don't do that but I believe Ken has a valid argument, at very least we should all understand what our aircraft behave like even if the maneuver is at the fringe of what we would normally expect to perform.

    Subject: Repairmen's Certificate
    From: jason.kreidler@regalbeloit.com
    Just thought I would pass long my experience getting the Repairmen's Certificate for our RV-10. We used Joe Norris who works for EAA in Oshkosh as our DAR and Tech Counselor. Joe said that he does not issue the Repairmen's Certificate, and I had to go to the FSDO to get the cert. While in Oshkosh (since we are local) I got in touch with the Milwaukee FSDO on the field. He offered to go over and look at the airplane with me, and ask a few questions about the construction. This amounted to comparing our paperwork to the data plates, and asking which part we built first. He did comment that our "Experimental" marking was 'marginal' at best. We have it located in the baggage bulkhead, which is somewhat blocked by the rear seat headrests. He didn't demand that we fix it, he said if Joe thought it was OK, then it is OK. I said we would move the markings to the door, as 'marginal' isn't acceptable to me, he was very happy to hear this. BTW, regarding the "Experimental" marking..... We had Flightline Interiors do our interior, wonderful product, wonderful people. As I said we had our experimental marked on the baggage bulkhead, during our DAR inspection we had to make a new experimental marking because all of the letters embroidered on the bulkhead were not 2" tall. The capitol letters were taller, the lower-case letters were too short. It was in a 'fancy' font, but that wasn't a problem. Abby made good and re-did the piece, so it looks like we now have a take three on the markings. The next day I brought my laptop into the office and showed him pictures of the build, he wanted to see me actually working, not posing with parts. He also wanted to see me working at all of the stages to prove I was involved from beginning to end. He looked up the RV-10 quickbuild in the database to verify it meets the 51% rule. He asked how I planned to inspect the airplane, and what checklists I had for the inspections. He wanted to hear that our part 43 checklist was modified to include unique maintenance features of our model. He asked me to bring along the builders log, but did not review it. He issued the certificate on the spot. Kinda cool, he even filled out the application overnight, I only had to double check the info, and sign my name. This guy was great! I had thought that the Repairmen's Certificate was issued at the same time as the inspection, but that was not the case for us, just passing along the experience.

    Subject: Repairmen's Certificate
    Jason, If the FAA makes the airworthiness inspection you can get the Repairman's certificate at the same time. A DAR cannot issue it. I had my Pietenpol Air Camper (which I flew to OSH this year - it was the green one with yellow wings parked right in front of the Brown Arch) inspected by the FSDO and they issued my repairman's certificate at the same time as the Airworthiness Certificate. That certificate is worth a lot - about $1500 a year in annual Condition Inspection costs.

    That's a FSDO that has nothing better to do...It.should only be a interview with the recommendation letter from the DAR....I don't need another inspection...heck they wouldn't even talk to me about doing the airworthiness inspection.

    Mark The link to the web site does not work could you please resend the linl Thanks John G. Cumins 40864 Elevator assymb. From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Robin Marks Sent: Saturday, August 01, 2009 8:12 PM Subject: RV10-List: DIY Panel Labeling $20.00 RV-List, I thought I would share a sweet way to do your own panel labeling that is fast, inexpensive and great looking. In fact your graphic choices are nearly unlimited. I had the unfortunate situation where the graphics on my panel we not acceptable. I paid to reshoot the panel and decided to label some of the items myself. I had considered using clear labels and a Dymo style label maker like I used with my RV-6A. The results were actually quite good but with limited choices in font selection, size and spacing. The ideal system would be to use my graphics software to design the correct labels and then transfer them to my panel in Decal form. With a little research I sourced: Color Laser Water Slide Decal Paper by papoilio. www.papoilio.com I purchased the large pack of 10 sheets ($13.00) in case I screwed up but I only needed one sheet as I was able to fit duplicate labels all on a single page. I designed my labels in Adobe Illustrator because it is a vector based program making the text and borders ultra crisp. I also happen to own a Minolta Magicolor 2400W color laser printer which gave me excellent results. If my printer didn't work well my plan was to run a thumb drive down to Kinkos and use their large Color Laser Printer but there was no need after I output and tested the first sheet. If you are OK with Black graphics any Laser Printer will do. From here the process was straight forward, trim, soak in bowl of water for 15 seconds, don't spill the bowl of water in the plane (hardest step), place the decal on a pre-moistened portion of your panel and properly position. Do the next decal while the first one is drying. I purchased a special rubber squeegee and floating agent at the same time I purchased the paper but never found the need to use them. If you are confident you only need the 5 sheet pack your cost may be as low as $10.00. For high wear areas they suggest a clear coat over the decal but these are in a low touch location and they seem pretty durable to me. With your own graphic designs your panel labeling choices are virtually unlimited including photographs or multi color process: (note: labels below are fuzzy due to .jpg conversion) Robin

    Subject: Forward Slips
    Hmm, very interesting. Back when I used to fly skydivers the forward slip was a SOP for getting down from altitude without shock cooling the engine and the slips were sometimes so aggressive that it wasn't uncommon to unpor t the fuel tank with the reduced fuel that jump ships carry. It's somethin g I do sometimes without even thinking about it and that would have been qu ite the surprise. Thanks for sharing with us.

    Good info for builders not yet complete. Along the way on my build, I had scores of pictures taken of me working on various sections as well as documentation of how I ran things. Put it all together into a power point presentation with text boxes, arrows, etc, and took that to the FSDO when I went for my repairman's certificate. Also took my flight checklist and the annual condition checklists for his review. Made issuing my certificate a breeze. grumpy N184JM On Aug 3, 2009, at 8:40 AM, jason.kreidler@regalbeloit.com wrote: > > Just thought I would pass long my experience getting the Repairmen's > Certificate for our RV-10.

    Subject: Re: GRT AHRS Mounting and CG
    From: "bcondrey" <bob.condrey@baesystems.com>
    The AHRS can be mounted on the standard tray next to the battery however the magnetometer must be at least 24" (IIRC) from the contactors and AP servo both of which are strong sources of magnetic energy. I found that a shelf about 3" below the top of the tailcone, attached to the J channel stringers works great. I did look into mounting a shelf across the longerons but my testing with a simple compass in that location showed large variations as things were switched on/off and the AP servo exercised. Just a few inches higher made a huge difference. Wingtips would also be an excellent location. Bob Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=255783#255783

We used Joe Norris who works for EAA in Oshkosh as our DAR and Tech Counselor. Joe said that he does not issue the Repairmen's Certificate, and I had to go to the FSDO to get the cert. While in Oshkosh (since we are local) I got in touch with the Milwaukee FSDO on the field. He offered to go over and look at the airplane with me, and ask a few questions about the construction. This amounted to comparing our paperwork to the data plates, and asking which part we built first. He did comment that our "Experimental" marking was 'marginal' at best. We have it located in the baggage bulkhead, which is somewhat blocked by the rear seat headrests. He didn't demand that we fix it, he said if Joe thought it was OK, then it is OK. I said we would move the markings to the door, as 'marginal' isn't acceptable to me, he was very happy to hear this. BTW, regarding the "Experimental" marking..... We had Flightline Interiors do our interior, wonderful product, wonderful people. As I said we had our experimental marked on the baggage bulkhead, during our DAR inspection we had to make a new experimental marking because all of the letters embroidered on the bulkhead were not 2" tall. The capitol letters were taller, the lower-case letters were too short. It was in a 'fancy' font, but that wasn't a problem. Abby made good and re-did the piece, so it looks like we now have a take three on the markings. The next day I brought my laptop into the office and showed him pictures of the build, he wanted to see me actually working, not posing with parts. He also wanted to see me working at all of the stages to prove I was involved from beginning to end. He looked up the RV-10 quickbuild in the database to verify it meets the 51% rule. He asked how I planned to inspect the airplane, and what checklists I had for the inspections. He wanted to hear that our part 43 checklist was modified to include unique maintenance features of our model. He asked me to bring along the builders log, but did not review it. He issued the certificate on the spot. Kinda cool, he even filled out the application overnight, I only had to double check the info, and sign my name. This guy was great!

    OK, I got a call back from Jeff at GRT. It is true that the AHRS interferes with the magnometer. The stock answer is that the magnometer can be no closer than 18" to a magnetic source. He's not sure what the exact distance for the AHRS is, but it contains stuff that will interfere. They recommend a wing tip as first choice, otherwise a separate mount in the tail far away from everything. Back to the drawing board.... John -------- #40572 QB Fuselage, wings finished.

    I'm exactly 18" from closest edge of AHRS to closest edge of Magnetometer. I tried to maximize the distance from the pitch AP servo and the Strobe flash unit. I recall some previous posts on be careful with the AHRS around the pitch trim unit in the rear of the tail cone. It's further forward than you think and I recall it being difficult to setup the 18" clearance. Let's hear some more flying experiences with the GRTs.

    To a certain extent I agree! as far as the certificate, no need to show them the plane. I was at a recent FAA safety event and I spoke with the local FSDO rep, he kindly told me to keep good records of what I did, have pictures that show me working on something, be ready to answer what I was doing in a picture with details and be ready to tell them what I plan to do for maintenance, the checklist I'll follow and a few questions on how to repair issues, like an oil leak, mostly just to see if I have an idea of what the certificate involves from me. Sounds to me that Jason had an interested FSDO person, I have no issue with the FAA giving me feedback this way in a kind way versus an inspection at a field and be told I violate some FAA regs. Anyone who reads the AOPA legal section by Jodice knows that the FAA and NTSB are doing weird things to anyone who is in violation of some rules. I can see this being an issue by a group of local FSDO "inspectors" looking to justify their jobs at a local flyin. Most of these guys care, take their feedback as a kind offer whenever possible not as another inspection, because you really don=92t want to have to deal with what might happen if you are inspected.

    Subject: OSH Photos
    I was over where the airplanes were parked in the 300 series slots on Satur day afternoon and there were at least six -10s parked there. Rob Hickman's avionics tricked out -10 was there. Must be nice to have your own efis busi ness! There were also a lot of empty spots around them where other -10s ha d been and already left. The day before they were buried behind a lot of ot her planes and weren't easy to see. i know as we looked for them too. Ther e was also one at slot #178 that was for sale according to the ad that was placed on the board. Walked my feet off and had a great time! I hope to fly mine up there in 2010.

    Ok, I'll rethink too then. Thanks Chris #40072 -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of johngoodman Sent: Monday, August 03, 2009 2:31 PM Subject: RV10-List: Re: GRT AHRS Mounting and CG OK, I got a call back from Jeff at GRT. It is true that the AHRS interferes with the magnometer. The stock answer is that the magnometer can be no closer than 18" to a magnetic source. He's not sure what the exact distance for the AHRS is, but it contains stuff that will interfere. They recommend a wing tip as first choice, otherwise a separate mount in the tail far away from everything. Back to the drawing board.... John -------- #40572 QB Fuselage, wings finished.

    Here is the bunch as I saw it Tuesday. I think it was about 3 rows of 6 at one point, plus two across the way and two over near the brown arch. -Chris #40072
