HOBBS Meter: 2452 Construction Hours
Its official! RV-8 N998RV was officially signed off by the FAA this afternoon,
April 22 2010 at 1:15 PM PDT! Yahoo! I was issued my Special Airworthiness
Certificate and Repairman Certificate and the obligatory entry was made in the
aircraft's logbook. A special Phase 1 test-flight area was agreed upon and extends
from Livermore to Stockton to Merced to Lost Banos and back to Livermore.
Next week I go up to Oregon to get my Transition Training from Mike Seager ( http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/trainfly.htm ) and after that, its time to test fly!
YAHOO!!! I can't believe its signed off and the test flight is this close! How
exciting!

It looks like the RV-10 community was well represented in the awards circle
at Sun N Fun. It's certainly no surprise that Geoff would win Best
Interior. That will be a tougher award to win next year when everyone
starts showing up with one of Aerosport Products
<http://www.aerosportproducts.com/> interior packages.

Those numbers are close to what I get from my Saratoga. With this
information I can not see the benefit of the additional cost of the new sump
and required additional hardware.

Congratulations! I'd bet that a ton of stuff you worked hard on and
worried about wasn't even looked at, while other items that seemed
minor did get a close look see. Be sure to send a notam to the RV
lists when that first flight is to occur.

| Subject: | cover or paint screws |
Prepping doors after getting seals and pins fit, now wondering whether to cover
screws, should I assume never needing to remove door handles and pin blocks,
or is there reason to believe I will need to at some point remove the screws?
I realize though that the screws do not take and hold paint well and think a
smooth door would look better. I don't recall looking that close at other 10s
to see what others are doing. Any opinions?

A sump has little to do with manifold pressure, and everything to do
with intake air temperature and even distribution to cylinders. MP is
just one small piece of the overall equation.

| Subject: | Brake Line Entrance Holes |
Is there any reason why you couldn't/shouldn't enlarge the brake like
entrance holes in the forward part of the tunnel cover?
It seems to make sense to open that area up a bit and eliminate the
opportunity for chafing.

| Subject: | Re: cover or paint screws |
Most are epoxying and painting over the screws. It is not a big deal, but it provides
a more finished look. It is a bit iffy that the paint/epoxy hold when/if
the doors are removed and the bolts are re torqued.
This is a good opportunity to pound my drum to those novices in the build process
to take a lot (I mean hundreds) of pictures from every angle of the RV10's
that you see when you go to OSH or sun-n-fun. Especially focus on pictures under
the cowl on these planes. Looking at these pictures will save you much angst
in the build process when you can visually see what others have done.

I did it also. Not a bad idea also to wrap the entry area with silicone tape.
