I got an inexpensive one at Fry's Electronics in Calif. - There, you can also get
a nice durable and inexpensive grill to cover the speaker.
There is a specific OHM requirement which is probably in the manual for the audio
panel. I cut a hole in the side panel at hip level in the right side of the
back seat. Seems to work fine, but with all the excellent headsets out there
- not sure it is really needed.

Not required. Just another thing to break. Put jacks at all four seats and
an aux jack on the panel.

I would be interested in another system for controlling the flaps than
Vans provides in they're version of the flap positioning system. In my
RV8, I have a simple momentary up, off, down switch. Works great, lasts
a long time. I look out over the left shoulder, and can see the marks on
the flaps, and just release the switch at the desired setting. I have
been flying a RV10 with the Vans positioning system installed, and it
seems to be more work (i.e. distraction), to get the flaps where you
want them, than to just hold and release the switch, like in my 8. Now
with the realization that the positioning system adds several failure
points to the equation, I think I am going to pass on it. I don't need a
burned out actuator while far from home. At least a "flap motor running"
annunciator would be a requirement for any system that can fail in that
mode. I have flown the Cirrus, and would be very much interested in a
similar system to that. I think I'll walk down to the local Cirrus
service center, and check the price on one of those switches, and logic
boards, and talk to the mechanics on the reliability and safeguards of
that system. I will post my findings.
I am about to figure out how to mount the RAC 1.2 inch position sensor
to the flaps. Anybody got pictures of how they did it?

I went to Walmart and bought a 3.5" speaker (Automotive / aviation)
and then radio shack for a plastic enclosure. Drilled a series of
holes in the enclosure and mounted it on aluminum angle under the panel
facing down at the floor. It's nice to be able to get ATIS before
engine start and not have to put on the head sets.

Not sure what you mean that it's more work than your 8. With the
standard positioner, it's just press and release just like you
say.

I mounted a 11-01569 from ACS in the upper section of the rear bulkhead.
Works great.
We put a doubler to beef up the cut in the corrugation, then the interior
cloth went right over the speaker so it's invisible.
It's about 2 feet fwd of the AFS magnetometer, but it doesn't seem to affect
it.

Chris, You may want to take a look at our Flap Controller. It works
with the standard momentary down, maintained up type flap switches. The
TCW flap controller allows for pilot and co-pilot flap switches, it
includes a 15 second run timer to shut off the flap motor if you leave
the flap switch(es) in the up position. The flap controller takes care
of the conflict if one of the flap switches is left in the up positon.
It also connects to an airspeed switch providing vfe protection.
All the details are at www.tcwtech.com

I used a momentary switch from McMaster Carr. The switch is spring loaded to
move down flaps. Returns to center position to shut off the flap motor. When
the switch is flipped up the flaps move up until switch returned to center.
I have a red LED wired in the circuit to remind me if I left the switch in
the up position and the motor is running. Of course I also have a starter
running light as well.

| Subject: | Custom Fan Grills For Sale |
Hi Everyone,I have a pair of custom RV-10 fan grills that I would like to offer
for sale.
They are laser cut from 1/16" 304 stainless steel. As you can see from the picture
they dress up your dash and functionally diffuse air from a standard 92mm
computer case fan. The opening from the case fan is approx. 3.5" in diameter.
You can see a photo of the fan grill installed on my RV-10 on my blog at the following
address.
http://kitaircraftmods.com/category/all-aircraft-accessory/
It is the third post down from the top.
If interested please contact me off list. I will post if they have been sold.
Thanks,
Dave Hertner
