What's up with you? Don't ever hear anything from John Jessen, looks like the NW RV10 builders group has gone dormant. Just got my medical back and no further restrictions due to the amnesia episode, but I've got a Thyroid issue so the kept me on a special issuance, but the local AME can approve annually for the next 6 years. Just finished my 1st annual cond inspection. Nothing noteworthy found. flipped the tires and changed the brakes a month ago. I've been through 5 variations of nozzle tuning. and the last one made it slightly worse, I installed the turbo nozzels and rails and that had a major improvement, http://deemsrv10.com/album/LOP%20Turbo%20Nossels/index.html I can run LOP @ altitude now down to 11.5 gph befor some unevenness. I was able to get into the 10's previously. I've decided not to go any further until I relocate the fuel flow transducer from the tunnel to between the servo and the spider. another complication is that Don had me go w/ .024 restrictors in order to eliminate the fuel boiling in the lines during ground ops. unfortunately he doesn't make an .0235 restrictor. So I think I'm going to bump them all up to.025 and start over. Just made a trip to So Cal last weekend, and then yesterday, I ran Patrick back up to Provo. Moderate Turb the majority of the route. not a comfortable flight! Hope you had a Happy Easter.

From: "Dawson-Townsend,Timothy" Regarding the earlier photo, apparently the innards of an iPhone camera scan the frame at a certain rate, and when your prop is rotating at a certain rate, it produces interesting effects!

Essentially the same size cut as in the supplied spacer. I'm not real excited about cutting that much metal out of the control stick and would just like to confirm that this is what everyone has done. Also, if you did cut it, what did you use to cut the slot? Angle grinder? Thanks in advance, Tom Hanaway Boynton Beach, FL rv-10 building, building, building...

I drilled a hole to create the curve at the bottom of the slot, then cut the straight sides with a Dremel.

Well, you can think what you want :-) I think there was too much horsepower and they just wouldn't stay straight! Here is another similar shot from a friends RV7. In this case, he dumped the Lyc and put a multi-blade fan prop on his! We're cruising about the legal 245 knots ;-) Bill S 7a almost there :-) -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of mouser Sent: Monday, April 05, 2010 4:08 PM Subject: RV10-List: Re: Droopy prop - explained!

Those are the interior tank ribs. At least that's how mine are labled which matches the plans.
