    Subject: Heads up - AFS 4500 potential in flight reboot issue
    From: Jim Combs <jiminlexky@gmail.com>
    Just a heads up for AFS 4500 users. We have just recently installed a 4500 in addition to the 3500 and have discovered a potential in flight surprise. While dialing in the airport identifier for Georgetown Ky (27K) the 4500 will reboot while entering the airport identifier at the MAP / Direct to menu of the 4500. It reboots on the third letter. I am not sure if any other airport identifiers are triggers for the reboot. If you enter the airport identifier at the 430W or on the 3500 there are no issues. Since we are using the 430W for the approaches anyway, there is a work around. I talked to AFS about the problem and they said it was a known problem. They currently don't have a planned software release to fix it. This problem exists using the latests firmware and map data release. I found this while on the ground. I was glad I was not airborne. Thanks, Jim Combs N312F - Flying

    Ran across what appears to be a reasonable alternative to Odyssey or RG25. Anyone know anything about them? Length and width match RG25, with less height. Price is about 1/2 that of RG25 http://www.batteryweb.com/powersonic12vsla-detail-PS%2D12350.htm http://www.batteryweb.com/powersonic12vsla.cfm

    Subject: Go west , young man
    Listers; Anybody have any recommendations for the airport at Santa Fe? We may be staying overnight and wondered if anyone had recommendations for the FBO's. Plan to be there around Friday/Sat 22/23. Plan is for Paris to Denver, then over to the Bar 10 ranch at the Grand canyon, spend a night at monument valley, then back thru Santa Fe for some sight seeing and then back thru Lubbock to Paris. Should be a fun week. Dr Fred. 515FW. 220 hrs.

    Subject: AHRS Reboots (was Heads up - AFS 4500 potential in flight reboot
    issue) There is nothing more disconcerting than an inflight reboot of your AHRS. I have a 3 screen GRT system with Com1 antenna on the belly and Com 2 behi nd the cabin top aft fuse intersection. My AHRS is located on a tray above and aft the battery box ('standard location'), but within two feet of the com2 antenna. Com 1 is primary, com 2 is backup. I had a minor problem wi th the pax headset jacks that caused an intermittent open mic problem. Whe n I attempted to correct the problem by selecting com 2, the open mic persi sted, com 2 transmitted - the com 2 antenna being too close to the AHRS cau sed it to reboot. Having your PFD/MFD screens go blank at 3000' aint prett y - but a great opportunity to use those backups (ASI, ALT) thought a good idea during panel design. Fixed the open mic problem and found and fixed a dodgy BNC connector on the com2 antenna (RF leak). But only use com 2 for receive (tx still causes t he AHRS to drift), pending relocation of the AHRS away from the antenna dur ing the annual (this weekend!!) Lessons learned: 1. put the magnetometer in the wingtip. 2. don't have any tx antennas within 3' of the AHRS 3. don't route any AHRS (or high sensitivity) electrical wiring in the sa me loom as a tx cable (including RG400) Cheers Ron VH-XRM flying in Oz ________________________________ From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@m atronics.com] On Behalf Of Jim Combs Sent: Wednesday, 14 April 2010 8:45 PM Subject: RV10-List: Heads up - AFS 4500 potential in flight reboot issue Just a heads up for AFS 4500 users.

    There's actually only one FBO at SAF now. Capitol has gone the way of the dodo, so your only choice is Air Center. The airport restaurant is reasonable, located under the tower next door to the FBO. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=294265#294265

    Subject: Paint system choices
    It's that time - paint. I have a HVLP turbine system, rebreather, and the space to setup a booth of some type. Need a paint scheme and most importantly, a paint system to commit to. I sure would like to get some feedback on Loehle's system. Seems like a lot of people use the pinhole filler (John G) and others the whole system (Rick). I've contacted them for some further information. I'm also looking at going to my local Dupont distributer and working with them. It wasn't clear to him or me that he had access to the aircraft line of products, at least not the aircraft top coat products. But it would be nice to have a local resource I'm thinking. Any and all suggestions or guidance is appreciated. Please contact me directly if more appropriate. Thanks in advance, Bill "head spinning before inhaling any fumes" Watson

    Subject: Re: Equipment list
    Umm, take a look here http://www.vansaircraft.com/pdf/RV10wb.pdf for an example. Once you've established the empty weight and CG, it is easy to figure out the loaded CG based on pax and fuel. You do need to redo the empty CG if your equipment changes, but you certainly do not need an equipment list (along with datum references) to have a completely valid weight and balance for both empty and loaded conditions. Just my $0.02 worth.

    Jack up the airplane Put the scales under the wheels Lower the airplane... Just joking J I think the equipment list was identified in my trusty EAA certification package. So I did one and my DAR asked me for it. I could be wrong and only my DAR asked me for one.... When I get home tonight, I will look back and see if I can find a reference... As far as a POH. I think the certified A/C need to have one to meet the Operating Limitations requirement. We get the limitations through our Airworthiness Certificate..pink slip with operating limitations attached. But no real expert on this...just taking a break from work.

    reboot issue) True, according to the new rules, an efis failure is now an item requiring a filed report....just like some engine/prop/systems failures. I think it's good in that before there wasn't a real good way to know the count of issues, an with the proliferation of TAA they now are wanting to know how reliable systems are in the real world. Too many companies quote things like "MTBF 10,000 hrs" when they may only have a few systems out in the world with really low numbers of hours.

    Subject: Re: Paint system choices
    Bill (and others): I had painted cars as a kid and thought I was pretty good so I decided to paint the 10. I used the Loehle system throughout including his hole filler (works very well with minimum "coats".) I started with a turbine HVLP but was getting crummy results so went back to what I used as a kid (big compressor, refriged air, but used the new lower pressure guns with multiple tips). It did not come out as well as I hoped: 1) booth was too small especially for the fuselage. 2) I painted it over a long period of time so some of the colors don't exactly match (? different humidity, ? improper mixing, ? different batches from Loehle, ???)and, 3) most importantly, shitty lighting because of the too small booth and lack of money to really buy good lights. To me lighting is the most important factor in applying good coats. If I had it to do over I would do it after the plane was together, do it in my hanger in a large very well lit temporary booth. No, I take that back. If I had it to do over I would pay someone to do it!!! If you have any specific questions please feel free to call me (207) 322-6167.

    Subject: Re: Paint system choices
    Yeah, I painted model airplanes as a kid and quickly realized that I was a bulider and flyer but not a finisher. The advent of Monokote and it's many descendants saved me. I feel your pain. I swore up and down that I would be farming out the paint but finances and some sort of misguided pride has me determined to do it myself. I lack the skills and the patience but I have the space so I'm just going to have learn to take the time to learn, prep, and paint. Plus I have a Maule that REALLY needs a nice new cover and paint job. Flying in the rain challenged the original paint. We'll see. Sounds like doing it all at one time is good - but it seems that doing it in parts is easier. Putting those 2 thing together with lot's of light looks like a good approach.

    Subject: Firewall access
    From: "woxofswa" <woxof@aol.com>
    I need to punch a couple of access points through my firewall for my A/C lines. Unfortunately, I don't have my finishing kit or motor mount yet. I am considering one point directly (an inch or two) below the heater valve on the Captain's side and the other about the same height over on the FO side near the sidewall. My biggest fear is running these and later finding out that they conflict with something else. Can anyone ahead of me comment on those locations? Thanks in advance. -------- Myron Nelson Mesa, AZ Emp completed, QB wings completed, legacy build fuse in progress Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=294289#294289
