    Does anyone know a source for a high quality, low holding current, continuous duty relay, in the 20 (+) amp range. I need one for the avionics master, and another for the Ebus alternate feed. Couldn't find anything in the archives. Thanx Chris Hukill painting interior, if it ever warms up enough

    Subject: IFR continued - A great dark and stormy night flight
    in Decem... I'm not sure I agree that Dynon's style of marketing is better. I equate Dynon's Skyview rollout to GM selling a new Corvette with a new engine, but then telling you that they aren't sure when they'll be able to sell you tires. I think they released the product early with some functionality missing that should have been there on initial release. I think it will be a good product when all the functionality is available, but at initial release it isn't much more than a simple six-pack replacement. AFS held shipping until everything worked. I'm not sure which approach is better, but I'm not a fan of either approach. Pre-announcing products/features are a lose/lose situation. Consumers are upset because of the delays. Revenues are reduced because everyone is waiting for the new product and not purchasing current products. Additionally, additional loss of revenue from folks tired of waiting and go with a competitive product. We've seen similar situations in the consumer electronics and computer industries Also, look how the pendulum swings the other way. GRT seems to be very conservative these days with product announcements after they went through a similar scenario a couple years ago. Fortunately, I think the EFIS market is maturing. Long term success will be the vendor that consistently delivers new products/features on a regular basis as close to the initial delivery date as possible. Let's hope all the EFIS vendors learn from these debacles and are strong competitors for many years to come. Then it will be a win/win for all.

For me yes, my order for the AdvancedDecks was in back in November last year. Seems it depends on more than just the order they were ordered in vs when you receive them. Don't get me wrong, I still think that Rob's EFIS is in the top two out there but I'm on my third delivery date now (not counting the numerous general dates we have all heard) and others have received theirs with considerably less wait time. Now I do understand the philosophy behind getting people that are ready to fly their equipment but at some point that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy and you need to address the people that have been waiting excessively. Honestly they could have stayed out of this situation by avoiding overly optimistic delivery targets. Dynon's approach to this style of marketing was much better IMHO. Michael

    Go to your local auto parts place and get a relay for headlights. They are rated somewhere around 20 amps. And are cheap.

    Henkjen was at RV-10 HQ three years ago. Time flies when you're having fun. Bart and Martha van Ruth camped with us two years ago. They were in the spot next to the one Janice and I camped, by the tree line and the row of porta johns. He has a kitlog site as well: http://www.mykitlog.com/Bart%20van%20Rut He purchased a 172 last summer, which I'm sure slowed his build down a little. The last update in Kitlog was in August. I've sent him a few emails over the last year or so, but never got a response. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Deems Davis Sent: Thursday, December 10, 2009 12:14 PM Subject: Re: RV10-List: Hank from the Netherlands Henkjen van der Zouw His Kitlog site http://www.mykitlog.com/phzme indicates he's still building.

    Has anybody noticed that Van's count of flying RV10's has increased by about 30 in the past week or two? It currently lists 249 flying RV10's. I check it a couple of time a week, and the numbers keep growing but I don't see any 'reports' on their web site. The last they posted was Rick Sked. I know that John Cox has about 10$ more in his database than Van's had on their website, John, have you been feeding info to Van's to get them current? Deems Davis N519PJ www.deemsrv10.com

I talked to the Manager at Eagle engines they have installed it a few times and has one installed on there test stand they run all engines they work on, it looks like a great product.

    While the concept looks good in some ways, what I don't understand is what you actually gain over a well maintained magneto. The timing doesn't change, still fixed. So you get a multiple spark..maybe that helps if you have an oil burner, but seems like a lot of money to gain very little. Maybe I am missing something, maybe I misread.

    Larry vetterman used/uses it: Now after flying it almost 100 hours, here are the reasons that I really like the G3. #1. Easy to install, even I could follow the wiring diagrams. 2. the system uses the existing mags and if there is an electrical failure, the mags operate normally. 3. the engine starts very well both hot and cold. 4. I can now run lean of peak if desired whereas before my M1B, with standard mags balked at anything beyond peak EGT. 5. I see a lower ghp with the G3 vs standard mags. 6. The M1B engine is extremely smooth with the G3. 7. I used the expensive Champion fine wire spark plugs(I had a set on the shelf) gapped to .021 however I understand that an inexpensive automotive plug can also be used check out his site for the full report- under the prop comparison.

    I've installed on the -10 but it hasn't been started yet. It is a fairly easy install. Thomas Shpakow was great to talk with. He was always willing to answer my dumb questions. Not sure if he's changed the manual but early on, he was trying to show all the possible ways to install and made the install appear much more complicated than it actually was. When I talked to Thomas at Osh this year he was thinking of simplifying the install manual and providing the less common configurations as an appendix. I'll let you know how it runs this spring :) Doug -------- Doug &quot;Fools&quot; are always more creative than process people and will always find ways to ruin a perfectly good set of processes.

    I thought that AC 43.13-1A made it a no-no to tie electrical lines to fuel lines. Why is it OK to tie a spark plug line (which are known to arc over) to a fuel injection line? I didn't see anyone mention this. Am I in error? -------- Dave Moore RV-6 flying RV-10 QB - FWF Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=277130#277130

    Subject: Van's List of RV-10's
    From: John Cox <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    Deems, it is always great to see posts from you. Yes, the Vans number has surged markedly in the last few weeks unexpectedly. Yes I have provided a little additional info but not the majority of that number bump that we all notice. I have been wrapped up time wise in the "Teen Flight Build" of th e RV-12 for the Center for Airway Sciences, which is being reported by Laur an Paine Jr. for both Sport Aviation and Kitplanes magazine. The 12 is a w hole new breed of quickbuild. The skins are soooo thin and the pull rivets so unusual. Plus keeping hands off while Teens build it is a real eye open er. The 10 remains a stronger more practical build -IMHO. The panels, driven r ivets and more substantive metal fabrications along with all that fun compo site work place the 10 in a whole different arena. Medical certificates as ide, The 10 is for Real Pilots/Builders. Geoff's work brings back memories of the very beginning. My data continues about 10% ahead of those who "report" to the mother ship and yet I continues to look for pictures to keep that portion current as we ll. There are lots of builds going beyond our borders than tend to get dro pped from Ken Scott's propaganda posts. One week ago there were 10 QB fuse lage kits on the shop floor and as of last Saturday there were only four. T he best level of quality remains that done by the members of this group rat her than foreign nationals and a different level in the definition of quali ty. Q in QB is Quick which for many over the last year left a lot of room for improvement in both speed and quality. I envy all of the 250+ veterans who have made the entire journey and shed l ight on the goal for those of us still in the tunnel. Keep those posts of flying RV-10 coming. John Cox From: Deems Davis Sent: Thu 12/10/2009 3:44 PM Subject: RV10-List: Van's List of RV-10's Has anybody noticed that Van's count of flying RV10's has increased by about 30 in the past week or two? It currently lists 249 flying RV10's. I check it a couple of time a week, and the numbers keep growing but I don't see any 'reports' on their web site. The last they posted was Rick Sked. I know that John Cox has about 10$ more in his database than Van's had on their website, John, have you been feeding info to Van's to get them current? Deems Davis N519PJ www.deemsrv10.com
