| Subject: | Re: Fuel drain valve |
I thought about it. Maybe less chance of something catching on it and slightly
less drag. But since the boss was sticking down 3/8" from the skin I think I'll
just use the supplied one until it starts leaking.

Looks great. I got mine the same color...minus the chrome. I too can't say enough
good things about Aerosport Power. Great people to work with. I should be cranking
the engine in about 2 months. Can't wait to hear it.

| Subject: | Nosewheel Fairing Alignment |
Stumbled onto an interesting observation. Discovered after adding all
the wheel fairings, the -10 required right rudder at high cruise speeds.
After damaging and removing the nosewheel fairing, I no longer needed to
hold right rudder at any speed (true airspeed 2 knots slower than with
the fairing at high speed cruise). Since nothing else on the plane has
changed, I'm assuming the prop blast is pushing the nosewheel out of
trail. Has anyone else had a similiar experience, have any suggestions
on a way to slightly re-orient the nosewheel fairing to minimize the
effect, or can come up with a different explination?
Thanks,

My Grumman (same type of nose gear setup) points off to the right .....
and yes, it looks funny .... but I doubt that's causing the right rudder
problem. However, I can't explain why the removal of the wheel pant
would 'fix' the problem. The wheel pant doesn't have any effect on the
rigging of the Grumman whether it's there or not. the only reason I
used the Grumman as an example is that I have lots of hours in it and
I'm still building the -10.

Other than not needing the rudder in cruise are you experiencing a problem
with the fairing? the wheel, a shimmy or anything? if not leave it alone.
Call Vans and get their opinion as well.

Yeah, mine's too long too. I just let it flop around. Will probably tie it to
something after I get more stuff installed around it.

| Subject: | Re: Plane power Vs B&C Alternators |
I have a B&C in my RV-6 but went with the Plane Power for the 10. Plane Power
was not around when I built the RV-6. Both are good, and I know personally the
folks at SkyTec/Plane Power. They stand by their products, have had excellent
experience, and are really nice people.
The B&C stuff is very pricey. Until recently B&C had the only gear mounted standby
alt but Plane Power is coming out with a nifty 20A unit. They had it at
OSH and is a much better alternative to the 8A B&C standby alt. With 20A in standby
an alternator failure becomes a real yawner.
