Thanks Tom. I looked at Greg Hale's site last night and he is using
the generic bracket from Van's. That looks like the way to go.

David,
I have the Airflow systems a/c which uses an over the top of the
engine cable to govenor (MT unit from Van's in my case). I believe
it's a generic bracket from Van's but you can call the owner Bill
Genevro to order the exact one (949-218-9701) http://www.airflow-

Hello all,
I noticed that during my past two IFR flights, my XM receiver stops updating if
I am in solid IFR for a while. This is precisely the time I need it most.
The first time it happened, I did not think much of it but yesterday I did not
have service for exactly one hour while IMC and in on/off light rain. On subsequent
flight, on the same day (not IFR any more) I had good reception.
I have a GRT with XM weather and I wonder if anyone has experienced the same issue.
Thanks,
Rob

I was flying yesterday using Foreflight on my iphone or the first time, and after
a bit I lost my cell phone signal (still had gps signal) and a "cannot connect
to Foreflight" window popped up and the program stopped. I had the maps downloaded
on the iPhone and I assumed it would work like SkyCharts does, with
or without cell service. Are others seeing this? I shut the program down, restarted,
it worked for 10-20 seconds, then I got the message again. I was hoping
I could somehow acknowledge the message and have the program continue normally,
but no such luck. So I used SkyCharts the rest of the flight.....

The same thing happened to me on my ipad a couple days ago but it
ended up working fine for me. I think I fixed it by one of a couple
things....either it was by disabling wifi and cellular data, or it was
from just tapping that dialog box an it went away. I try to get in
the habit of disabling all the extra RF things anyway, so not having
them on might have helped tell the software that it shouldn't bother
connecting....but I do believe I got the pop up and after tapping it
it went away. I'll have to test it on another flight and see. Maybe
they introduced that or it's a bug in the new 3,51 version. You
should ask them by emailing them at team@foreflight.com. I've found
them very responsive. Personally, the software is now full of so many
features that even though skycharts worked good for me too, I stopped
doing chart updates with skycharts. My only complaint, one that I'm
going to tell them at OSH, is that I'd wish they reverse their
decision about geo referenced approach charts. They said the ipad gps
wasn't accurate enough and couldn't be trusted for precision ifr. I
say, since some of us can use Bluetooth gps, they should do it, but
with a disclaimer...because my gps is plenty accurate.
Anyway, play with it and I'm sure you'll find a way to get rid of the
message, but email them too...maybe they'll remove it from software or
fix it.

-=0AI experimented with increasing and decreasing the outlet area but set
tled on the original area of-69sq. in.- No noticeable gain on increasin
g the outlet and negative results with both pressure and cooling with reduc
ing the outlet.- I experienced the same results with increasing and decre
asing the inlet size. I have come to the conclusion that an exit area-sli
ghtly larger than inlet area works best on the 10.- I am aware of some 2
place Vans that successfully-employ smaller exit area than inlet area but
I would guess that there inlets are simply larger than needed.- Once aga
in I think its a balancing act to get enough-volume (pounds of air) over
the cylinders to cool the engine without over doing it and creating excess
drag.- Tony Bingelis book quoted that the rule of thumb for inlet sizing
is to multiply H.P.-x .35.- I think that is larger than necessary.- A
stock-RV-10 with 260 H.P. has a inlet to H.P. ratio of .29 a stock RV-8
of .27.-
With proper balancing and a high volume plenum I was able to reduce that t
hat ratio to .17 on my 10.-=0A=0ANo louvers etc. and all cylinders run wi
thin 20 F of each other and I have done no work to improve on that.- Incr
easing the volume of the plenum helped considerably with even cooling.=0A

-=0ASince Deems posted the other day that I had solved the James Cowl-h
igh temperature problem-by increasing the inlet size I have received seve
ral inquiries-for more information.- I can only assume that there-are
many-others who are experiencing high cylinder and oil temperatures part
icularly with the James Cowl.=0AFirst let me explain my particular setup be
cause each situation is different and your mileage may vary.=0AI have a new
experimental IO-540 built by Lycon with Cold Air Induction 10-1 compressio
n, ported and-flow balanced-with a single Light Speed Ignition.- This
translates into a lot more H.P.-and HEAT-than a stock install.- =0AI
nitial flight tests were performed with a-stock James Cowl (4.5" inlets)
with-my own-induction air inlet and filter air box design.=0AMy initial
flight testing resulted in cylinder temps. in the 440 range and oil temps
in the 220 range.--This was in relatively cool weather (averaging 65 F)
so the-airplane was basically unusable.- I embarked on a flight test p
rogram of measuring the differential pressure at-seven different location
s under the cowl.- With knowledge gained I made numerous modifications to
the inlets, plenum, inlet ramps and exit ramp, retested and modified retes
ted, etc., etc..--This consumed 27 flight hours and 4 months of work.
--The induction inlet and filter air box design was not modified since
I was seeing 1"+ boost in M.P. with the original design.=0AThe results are
very satisfying with cylinder temps. now-averaging 350-and oil temps. a
veraging 180 or below.- I have even had to install an oil cooler damper t
o keep the oil temps. above 180 in cruise.- -It was all a matter of bal
ancing the inlet area, plenum size, and exit area to achieve the greatest t
otal plenum pressure and greatest differential pressure between the plenum
and exit with the minimum inlet size.- The-final inlet size is-6" dia
meter which-is larger than the stock James inlets but still significantly
smaller in area than stock Vans inlets yet I'm effectively and efficiently
cooling an engine with 20% more H.P. than stock.- The total plenum press
ure went from-6" to13"-so LOP operation-should now be possible withou
t installing turbo rails as many have done.=0AI mention all this to show it
is possible to cool the beast without resorting to unconventional an unsig
htly options.- It is also important to understand that while "size does m
atter"- there is a lot more to it than just increasing the inlet size.-
=0AI will be at Arlington and Oshkosh and will be more than happy to discu
ss any of the particulars.- I have attached a few pictures to help show t
he-modifications made and final outcome.=0A-=0A-=0A=0A-=0AAlan Bikl

Just my shot to wave the flag and proclaim our freedom to fly and even write these
blogs this holiday weekend. I will not even try to compare the US to any other
country with our freedom to fly and build these amazing flying machines.
Nowhere else in the world with the possible exception of the Aussies is there
the amazing freedom to fly and build your own plane. We all must fight to defend
our flying rights through EAA, AOPA and any other local clubs or groups. The
flying fraternity is under attack every day from hypocritical green weenies
who want to cut us back on landing rights, fuel usage, or closure/restrictions
on airports. Harrison Ford said it best when challenged by a green weenie about
his multiple aircraft. He said, "I can only use one at a time and - When you
start walking - I'll start walking." Hurrray EAA, Hurray AOPA, Hurrray Mr
Ford, Hurrray Vans Aircraft Corp and a big hurrrray America.

You need to get that bulge up top resolved if you don't it will impact the
bottom of the door. I ended up sanding (a whole lot since I have the Vans
seals) to get the top more flush once I did that my doors closed and I
worked from there. Having the hinge force it down a little may be fine but I
would fix it so that it really is minimal and without much resistance
get the door to fit first than take care of the gaps everywhere.
Best of success

Subject: RV10-List: Door Seals
For those that went the McMaster door seal route...
I just put the seals on for the first time. As many else have experienced,
a perfect fitting door is no longer perfect fitting after putting on the
seals. The door is sitting proud only on the top of the door. Once I
put the hinges on the door, will compression remedy this issue or will I
need to figure out another solution?
I also have the problem at the bottom of the door where there is a gap on
the forward section of the door. That should just be a straight forward
solution of building the rain gutter back up until it's flush along the
entire bottom.
Thanks,

I'm finally ready to complete my B&C L60 alternator installation after a long wait
to get a leaking crank seal replaced.
The B&C install manual says to "install the belt and adjust the tension", but adjust
to what? They are very specific about bolt/nut torque values, but not about
what a properly tensioned belt looks like. Are there tips on how tight is
tight enough from others that have already done the install?
Thanks,
