Hey Matthew,
Ours was a very close fit. Three holes perfect, the last hole with
minimal persuasion. I think I'd give Van's a call first before chasing
the holes and get their opinion about bending the mount to fit the
holes.

Subject: RV10-List: 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.

These mounts, actually mounts from most kit vendors, are off by a bit.
Because of manufacturing and the welding process, some miss alignment
occurs. Install the bolts in the areas that are the most inflexible, the
center ones, and then work your way around to get the others in. I have not
heard of any folks who were unable to get them in, it just takes holding
your mouth just so and persuading it to move over a bit.

I did not have too much trouble aligning the holes as I remember. It
did take a small amount of persuading but not too bad. I just started
installing the bolts and everything began to align. I did hear of at
least one mount that was replaced by Van's however.

Ron,
Short answer is that there is no simulator for GRT. There are a couple of
other options that might help if you've actually got one of the display uni
ts.
1) There is apparently an MS flight sim driver that allows you to plug
your GRT in to the PC. I've never used it but on the surface it sounds in
teresting. Chatter that I've seen sounds like usability is limited - prett
y much display only.
2) GRTs have the ability to record/playback flight info. There are so
me that you can download, put on a USB stick and then "playback" on a displ
ay. This is really nice because you can flip between screens, etc. but aga
in it's only playback and not entirely interactive.
If you aren't already a member, I strongly recommend joining the GRT Yahoo
group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GRT_EFIS/. You will find discussion
, files for download, etc. that can be very helpful.

This topic needs to be addressed with care. What is a slight misalignmen
t to one person is way out to another.... The mount manufacturer should
have a precise jig to hold the mount when fabricating it. It should fit
very close,, not manhandled roughly to get to holes to line up. That wil
l introduce stress to a part of the plane that needs to be as close to p
erfect as possible. I can see it being maybe a 1/8 -1/4 of a hole off,,
any more and I would NOT install it. IMHO.

It's all about quality control.... if they have the proper jigs, and they w
eld in the appropriate steps, it should be within pretty close tolerances.
- Van's should make up an acceptance jig to ck the motor mounts prior to
shipping.... depends on whether they're doing them, or they out-source them

Before tightening any nuts, a few of my holes were perfect, but a couple
others seemed way off (the pilot hole was barely within the engine mount
hole). I then tightened the nuts on the holes that did align. That pulled
the mount tight against the firewall, which also made the holes closer. At
that point, they were all within 1/8" of center.
Note I drilled my first hole without the mount on, then had my wife hold the
mount while I drilled the second hole. From there, the mount holds itself
:)

I had the same problem. Per Vans' advice I used a clamp to pull the mount over
far enough that the firewall hole was still not centered, but completely within,
the engine mount hole. Then I match drilled it.

This is too funny. I don't think this is Boston Logan but I've flown into
Boston Logon and by far the most difficult part of "flying" into a busy
class B airport such as Logan is while on the ground and keeping up with the
rapid-fire ground communication instructions.
This wasn't even that fast, it was just as you say; everyone --especially
the controller-- having a "bad day."

So I guess they still haven't sold it. This was listed at Sun-n-Fun for $29,995
on a board in Wentworth's booth... I thought it was a good deal...

A bit of Due Diligence is needed here. The system as pictured can't (read
can NOT) be made into a G900X system since the GIA-63 boxes are Non-WAAS.
You're stuck with a system that you can't load any G900X software on and
they are old non WAAS boxes. No SVT terrain, etc.. They are great G-1000
components (for older installations or in Non-WAAS installs), but not a
great solution for a G900X. If they were a steal, I'd have bought the same
boxes at the same auction they did, as I have a pretty good idea of what
stuff is worth.
As always, buyer beware and do your homework before buying 2nd hand stuff
without knowing EXACTLY what you're getting and exactly what you can do with
it.
My 2 cents as usual. Not trying to flame anyone, just trying to make sure
nobody gets something they didn't bargain for.
Cheers,
Stein

Stein;
You and I spoke yesterday about our similar financial crunch, many may
have forgotten what you did for your customers with those Cheltons when
that company left everyone hanging a couple of years ago. It pays to
remember you took the hit for them and made sure they were taken care of
even if it meant delaying your progress on the RV-6 just as you are
doing with this last post. I enjoyed our conversation and your insight,
truly you are among the few that provide an excellent customer support
experience and anyone who thinks a word of advice from you is flaming
will eventually find their decision may leave them going down in flames.
Thank you!
Pascal

| Subject: | Door/Baggage Locks |
Hello all,
I'm wondering if anyone has solved this problem: I am trying to find three door
locks, one for the baggage door and one each for the main doors. Spruce sells
a set of two, but I'm not sure if these can be re-keyed. I'd like for all three
locks to use the same key if possible.
By the way, my ignition will not have a key as it uses the Vertical Power system.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can get them from iflyrv10.com.
If you are more energetic, you may be able to pick them up at home depot or
lowes. Your local locksmith should also be able to assist. Most sell
hardware.

| Subject: | RV-8 N998RV First Flight - Pilot Report And Photos! |
Dear Listers,
Monday May 2 2010 at 1:15pm, RV-8 #82880 N998RV took to the air for the first time!
The first flight was about 30 minutes and all systems worked as expected.
The only post-flight adjustments necessary were an increase in the amount of
available Up trim, and a decrease in the upper RPM limit on the Hartzell prop.
After a smooth takeoff, I climbed out and circled the airport at about three
to four thousand feet for a couple of circuits then came around and landed
making a nice three-point landing with no bounce. The plane handled excellent
and the power from the IO-390 and the Hartzell can only be experienced to be
believed! What a great combination!
I want to thank Van's for designing such a great aircraft and for producing such
an outstanding kit. I would also like to thank all my List friends for their
help and assistance during the project. And of course, a special thanks to
all of my personal friends that have come over and lent at hand during the construction
- I own you guys a ride and a $100 hamburger when I get the Phase 1
time flown off!
Probably in the Fall or Winter some time, plan to take it in for painting. I'm
planning on a Candy Apply Red with some very understated and elegant golden trim
with a nice clear coat.
For all those that are still building - keep at it! The end result is 100% worth
the time and effort you put into the project. That first flight will be the
experience of a lifetime and something you won't soon forget!

If you are using a keyed ignition switch, you can special order from ACS a switch
and three door/baggage locks all keyed alike. A little more expensive to special
order, but I really like having only one key for everything.

Just a bit of a heads up for those not based in the US of A, I ordered the 2 lock
system from Spruce, but only received one key. When I tried to have a duplicate
cut here in Oz, I could not find a locksmith that had key blanks that matched
the US style. So I still only have one key (that I am VERY careful with)
until I find a local distributor for cam locks of the appropriate size.
