The connector is made by Conxall. I bought additional connectors at
Digikey. They are in the Digikey catalog on page 264-265.

Subject: RV10-List: WxWorx connector
From: "Lenny Iszak" <lenard@rapiddecision.com>
Does anyone know who's the manufacturer of the power plug used on the XM
receiver
box? See attached picture.
I'd like to use aircraft wire to hook it up instead of the wire they supply
with
the box.
Thanks,
Lenny

fun than the firewall side.

I'm doing this from memory, but I thought I was told that in the GRT
setup, the box is powered by the USB connection?

a single black box with a USB to the GRT screen, the antenna, and the power
wire I cut. I have no diagrams from the manufacturer showing the pin identification,
and I have been unable to contact any manufacturer that can/is willing
to help. Looking at the end of the plug Lenny has, with the notch down, which
wire is positive is what I need to determine.

| Subject: | OSH headquarters camping |
I wasn't planning to get things into high gear yet but the plan is to do th
ings just like the past few years. I'll post something later in May or ear
ly June when I've verified costs and am ready to start collecting money.
Most general questions are answered on the FAQs from last year on Tim's web
site: http://www.myrv10.com/osh/Camping_FAQ.html
We (Gary, Tim and I) haven't coordinated details yet but I expect that we'l
l do about what we've done in the past. For those unfamiliar with how it w
orks:
- Gary and I (and Brenda and Susan) usually arrive Monday (or so)
the week prior to OSH and locate an area where we can have a group of adjac
ent sites.
- The past few years this has been in the area of 55th and Lindber
gh in Camp Scholler which is very close to the gates, showers, etc.
o Actual location will depend on what's available when we get there.
- EAA requires that sites be paid for from when "staked out" until
the end of the show. If you leave early unused nights are refunded.
- You must have an EAA membership with an expiration date later th
an Aug 2010 (Show ends 8/1/10)
- People desiring a spot in the "RV-10 HQ" area send payment to me
in advance.
- We stake out the sites and pay first thing Tuesday morning the w
eek before AirVenture starts.
o Each person will have a site officially registered and tagged in their
name
o At that point you have a site at OSH with your name on it
- When you arrive at OSH simply call and we'll meet you at the ent
rance with your registration package including car pass.
- Site size is nominally 20x30 (feet). In accordance with EAA's r
ules, we can make the site larger if required for large motorhomes or trail
er rigs.
- If you rent a camper from Fox Valley RV (or similar) you can pro
vide us as POC and we'll get them the location info
General notes:
There are usually a couple of "announced" large cookouts in the RV-10 HQ ar
ea. In addition to those camping in the group, it will be open to RV-10 bu
ilders, flyers, enthusiasts, vendors, etc. that feel like showing up. Atte
ndance has exceeded 100 every time we've had one...
To fund the cookouts we simply put out a collection plate with the intent o
f simply covering costs. Because of generosity in the past we've again got
a surplus from last year and will use part of that to pay for a common sit
e for gathering. We usually can come up with several canopies for shade.
If there are picnic tables to be found we'll put some of them in that area
also.
The area is very close to both the Theater in the Woods and FlyMarket gates
and therefore easily accessible to those attending but not camping. Any a
fternoon/evening during the show you will find at least a few RV-10 types h
anging around the camping area.
We get there early and don't mind a little work for the common cause but it
seems that every year a couple of situations always come up...
- Invariably somebody that didn't sign up for a site will call (or
even show up) a few days after we've staked out the sites and want one. S
ometimes they'll get lucky and there will be something adjacent or close, s
ometimes not. We can only guarantee a site for those that have paid in adv
ance and that we've specifically staked out sites for.
- Any coordination for cost sharing, splitting a site for the week
, sharing a site, etc. is between individuals. Tim has in the past posted
a calendar on his website to facilitate this.
Let the countdown begin!

Thanks Pete!
Mine is an Ethernet version and it could be powered by the Ethernet line, but the
switch i'm using does not support Power over Ethernet, so I need to connect
the power wire.

This is not ideal, but you could pull out the 2 pairs that are not being used for
100Mbit and run power over those, probably. I've done that before, but you're
better getting power through a normal connector instead of the solid twisted
pairs of ethernet anyway.

Some of you will recall my difficulties in getting the glideslope frequency to
my SL-30 although the localizer came in fine, and even the glideslope showed up
when I was within a mile of the TDZ. The problem was simple and all "pilot
error". Some of you raised the possibility of having the leads switched between
the marker beacon and navigation antennas. Even Bob
Archer didn't come up with that possibility. But that was the answer. I had mislabeled
the coaxial cables. Everything works spot on now. Thanks to all. The suggestions
saved me the task of removing/replacing the wing tip fairings. Jay

RV-6A builder Roger Bocox told me about these. This is what's on my plane.
We simply drilled out the hole the grommet was in the plans with a large
hole to accommodate the stud. It seal, insulates, and passes the current
through in a single step.
Here is a link to a couple of different models. Ours is:

Eric,
Checked my connections. See the attached picture.
Jesse, thanks for that idea! Not bad, but now that I found the connector, that
will be a better solution.

G'day all,
Anybody know where I can get a GRT EFIS Simulator? Reading the manual only
gets you so far and I'm not too keen on shaking down Synthetic and ILS app
roaches inside controlled airspace until I have mastered the 'knobology'.
Cheers

If you find anything I would like it too. I figure 6-8 months until I am flying.
Maybe more, maybe less. No hurry, but when I get there, like you I want to be
as familiar as I can with the system.

| Subject: | Alignment of engine mount holes seem off by quite a bit. |
Dear RV-10 list readers,
I've been building my RV-10 for about a year and a half. It's time to
install the engine mount and I was shocked to find the mounting holes are
about 3/16" to 1/4" off from the pre-drilled holes in the firewall. I'm
wondering if this is typical or if my mount was build a little off. If
anyone out there knows if this is normally what is expected please let me
know. Everything else in this excellent kit has fit very well and it's not
my intention to speak poorly of the kit or Vans in any way. It's just
surprising to find a mis-alignment so great in an area I would consider to
be one of the most important. I'm tempted to try chasing the holes out but
which ones do I align it with first? Everyone's comments and experiences are
welcome.
Thank you.
