    Subject: Re: additional latch for 10 doors
    Thanks I-Tim, I already new the answer to that part of the question. While we are on the subject of doors, I think I am ready to hinge my left door. I haven't sanded it down to fit all the way in the canopy but it's really close. The top is flush but the bottom still sits outside the canopy. Can I hinge the top now and work on the lower section until it fits in the canopy? I was thinking if I could barely sand enough to get the top hinges in, I could remove the canopy and install the overhead and blend it then permenantly mount the canopy and final fit the doors. Does this sound logical? A lot of weird sequencing here and thats not including paint! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Olson" <Tim@MyRV10.com> Sent: Sunday, January 03, 2010 8:17 PM Subject: Re: RV10-List: additional latch for 10 doors Sean, Regardless of the door handles, I'd like to enter my vote as to you being crazy.

    I'm giving up on the dream of building a -10. Not enough time/motivation, plus I think you can buy more plane for your money with used certified aircraft right now in this market. If anybody knows of anyone who is interested in buying a few year old, unstarted tail kit that is still in the crate, let me know. It is in Oklahoma City. do not archive -- Eric

    Subject: FW: Z-14 Switch Combos
    Phil, I suspect you have more questions but short story is that there is no switc h setting on a Z-14 configuration that will "fry" anything. We can discuss when you call. Bob N442PM (flying) From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@m atronics.com] On Behalf Of Perry, Phil Sent: Sunday, January 03, 2010 7:50 PM Subject: RV10-List: FW: Z-14 Switch Combos Greetings, I sent this to the aeroelectric list, but I'm not surprised that it went un answered. That being said, THANKS to the RV-10 flyers and builders for the ir assistance. One of the great things about this list is the flyers still stick around! For those of you who employed Z-14 (Dual Alt/Dual Battery) what have you ex perienced with your contactor switch settings? I'd hate to make one wrong flip of a switch and fry a G430. I know Bob Condrey and Rick are using th is setup. Bill "flying soon" Watson will be using it eventually too. Thanks, Phil From: Perry, Phil Sent: Saturday, January 02, 2010 9:09 PM Subject: Z-14 Switch Combos I'm getting a handle on Z-14 from an operational perspective and have a cou ple of questions about the switch combinations that could create issues. Obviously with the added complexity of managing two batteries, two alternat ors, and a cross feed can create some interesting combinations. Are there any combo's that we should be aware of that would create over vol tage or any other scenarios of concern? In the event of a failure (for example Alt 2 failure), is there a specific order for shutting off the bad alt and then enabling the cross feed? Thanks, Phil

    Subject: Re: additional latch for 10 doors
    There are some important factors for the door mechanism: Lightweight Emergency exit - if the plane is on fire you want the pax to easily open the door Strong - there is some mechanical leverage on the main handle Ease of use for passengers to close the doors without a long explanation on how they work - part of the breifing Be maintainable The third pin we designed is a little heavy. It would add a little weight to the doors and might require a stronger gas strut. It is also expensive. It would cost about 200 bucks for materials alone from Vans' price sheet do fit both doors. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robin Marks To: rv10-list@matronics.com Sent: Sunday, January 03, 2010 10:29 PM Subject: RE: RV10-List: additional latch for 10 doors Thanks Sean, I would not call my patch a =9Cfix=9D but rather =9Canother thing to get in the way of inadvertent unlatching.=9D My =9Cadd on=9D gives me much greater security but they are not the solution. I think the third pin concept has a lot of merit and I saw someone=99s design that seemed like a slam dunk with minor redesign to the pivoting part of the handle (lousy description). HOWEVER the "Staniforth latch" solves a problem the third pin can never solve. Inadvertent unlatching. There is mechanism failure and inadvertent unlatching I bet the WHOOPS especially from the PAX side is a real possibility. If someone accidently unlatches that=99s goodbye gull wing. I guess I have to give a shout out to Jessie=99s strap, that will hold the door in place too and probably the easiest retrofit. That is why I like the Staniforth latch. Problem solved. Thanks for the write up Andre. My non-solution, solution. Note: these same mechanisms with the latch handle in the proper orientation (arm pointing out) are an accident waiting to happen by just catching on a sleeve. Turned pointing in reduces the chances significantly. Adding the leaver lock gets you even further down the road.

After reading a lot of write ups on the doors my father and I have been looking at a third pin for my doors. I have been building the plane in my father's machine shop. I told him about the doors coming open in flight and he has worked on several different ways to make a third pin or latch that actuates with the stock handle. He has been successful making some test models that would work. So as time went on we have had the opportunity to look at Scott's RV. Scott has done a beautiful job with his plane and made the doors work like they are supposed to. He also installed the prox. switches to show the doors are fully latched. After my dad and I went out to Scott's hangar and on a few flights with Scott we decided that it is not necessary to make the third pin. If the door is not latched, the light is still on. Pretty simple. Now if my doors don't come out as good as Scott's did, I may add one. One good thing about the stock door handles are the locking mechanism on the handle to avoid inadvertant opening. I notice after market latches don't have this lock but look a lot nicer than Van's. Robin came up with a fix for this also. If builders and flyers out there think I'm crazy and I should make the third pin please tell me why. I am looking for a reason to build these. ----- Original Message ----- .

    Subject: FAB - Filtered Air Box Intake Plenum/ interface seal
    I left a small extension on the cowl inlet that fits inside of a short length of SCAT tube. The SCAT tube is inserted into a recess built into the filtered air box. There are two fingers attached to the outside of the FAB that hold the SCAT tube in a retracted position while the bottom cowl is raised into position. After the cowl is positioned the fingers are pushed aside and that allows the SCAT tube to spring forward around the cowl inlet extension. Since I have a 3 blade prop the bottom cowl must be raised straight up into position. This works well for me. Albert Gardner N991RV Yuma, AZ

    Subject: Re: FAB - Filtered Air Box Intake Plenum/ interface seal
    I'm not sure what the plans call for in the way of a seal, but The James cowl/plenum uses neoprene cylinders to bridge the gap between the cowl and the plenum. I also used this same method to bridge the gap between the induction air cowl intake and the Rod Bowers Ram/Filtered air. Seeing this thread makes e wonder if it would also work in this application. http://deemsrv10.com/album/Final%20Assembly/slides/DSC07042.html It's flexible enough to not interfere with the removal/install of the lower cowl. While installation of the cowl ususllay results in a 'kink' in the cylinder, I can reach in from the front of the cowl with my fingers and easily get the neoprene to slip over the air canister.

    Subject: Re: additional latch for 10 doors
    From: "Jim Berry" <jimberry@qwest.net>
    There is a modification to the Staniforth or Oz latch that will be available very soon from a reliable source. It can be opened from the outside. As a beta tester I just finished installing them on my doors, and I think builders are going to find them a good solution. It took about 8-10 hours to fabricate the parts and install in both doors. No problem retrofitting the latches to finished and painted doors. I have been sworn to secrecy for another 1-2 weeks, so please don't ask for more info at this time.

    Subject: Re: FWF hoses
    OK here is my 2 cents worth again and yes the A&P hat is on. ALL FLUID LINES UNDER THE COWL NEED TO BE FIRE SLEEVED NO MATTER IF THERE RUBBER OR TEFLON LINES. This is a very BIG Safety issue. I have seen several fires on plane engine compartments on receps and turbines, it is not a pretty site at all. They usually always include an offsite landing that causes the plane to get trashed in the process. And the fire was caused by lines never getting replaces at over haul or 5 years for rubber hoses. My butt is worth more than a few bucks, then not to make sure all fluid lines are not protected and the best lines available. Your butt relies on it. John G.

    Subject: AMSAFE rotary belts
    If anyone is considering the use of the AMSAFE rotary belts for their RV10 you might want to visit the <http://www.inertialbelts.com> www.inertialbelts.com site. AMSAFE has raised their prices to me another 5% and indicated that any order place before 1/31/2010 will still receive the 2009 price. I will be adjusting prices on the website by 1/31/2010.

    Is there a reason we cannot use the 3/8" hole in the inertial real mounting frame to secure the real to the RV-10 canopy using the Van's supplied bolt? Our fuselage is painted and complete in that area. We are now in the market for our belts and would like the front occupants to have inertial reals.

    The bolt or nut in the inside would interfere with the rotary wheel; that was the reason for designing the block so that the internal fasteners would be flush with the bracket and that the external side did not hve screw thread and nuts externally. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Ron B.

    Subject: Re: FWF hoses
    From: Kelly McMullen <apilot2@gmail.com>
    The integral firesleeve hoses are the easiest way to accomplish this, because they have none of the inconveniences of external firesleeve, most if not all have teflon core, making them last at least as long as the engine TBO. IIRC William Curtis has a list of all the hoses with lengths and fittings on his website, so even ordering is easy. Of course if Vans is supplying some of the hoses integral firesleeve, that reduces the number you have to get from other sources. And yes, I agree with John, you want any hose that carries flammable liquids in front of the firewall to be firesleeve protected one way or another.
