When you say "I don't seem to have any air leaks around the doors." Check
the baggage door. The door itself and the latch are not that solid. You
may have a significant amount of air entering there.

I had a lot of cold air coming in from the tail cone before the
interior went in. The interior sealed it off to the point that it's
not an issue.
I split my heater so that the left side is dedicated to the windshield
and the right supplies the front and rear outlets. I've only barely
cracked the defrost once or twice--I'm sure it would melt the
windshield at full blast.
Even just having "half heat" to the cabin is plenty for us.

Hey guys, finally got the cowl fitted up. Didn't take too long... especially if
you don't bother to trim ANY of the EXTRA material. Works just fine.
Also finished up the horizontal and elevators... came out great.
All kidding aside, this plane FLEW into LOE, had more traffic of fellow RV'ers
than any other plane. It had no N number, no placards, no registration info whatsoever,
one flat tire, wheel pants that had a 2" mismatch between halves....
it was totally unbelieveable.
I think the guy got wind of someone going to airport management, so he took off...
sortof.... fuel leaks, painted with a roller, eck!
7-9 RV10's at LOE.

Fortunately this wasn't a 10.
The fuel filler tube necks were about an inch proud on each wing. The
switches inside weren't even close to being in a straight line, the were
literally "just thrown in".
I missed most of it because he fired up and got out. Headed NE out of KOJA
on departure.

Whew! Glad it's not a -10!
Sounds like someone who takes as much care as someone cobbling up a homemade
lawn mower.
With luck, it'll be uninsured, unregistered, and burn up in a fire as it res
ts in a tiedown away from other planes. Might be the only hope we have that
this "RV" won't take an innocent passenger's life.

Sure looks like a 10 to me.
General shape. Center support bar behind windshield. Elevator looks like an
RV.
What could it be if it isn't an RV 10.
I suspect that it will never pass inspection and never be insured. Most
planes should be tied down. That plane should be cemented down.
Maybe the experimental warning placard should be in braille since only a
blind person would climb in that plane.
Kind of reminds me of an occasional joke I play on first time passengers. I
pull up to a late 1960's 172 sitting on the ramp with lots of green moss
growing on the wing and windows you can't see through plus two flat tires. I
pull up and say "oh looks like We need a little air in the tires". The
horrified looks I get... That joke never gets old.

I agree on the support bar, but the front gear leg doesn't look like a
-10, and the upper fwd fuse where it connects to the side skins only has
one row of rivets instead of the two that the -10 has. also, doesn't
the side skin on the -10 roll under the edge at the bottom, and no angle
bracket that the front side skin rivets onto. Except for the support
bar, that doesn't look like a -10 to me. Scary plane! The last plane I
flew that looked like that was a Cessna. :-) Just kidding, of course!

Did he have a sign to be judged? Looks like a real winner of the "don't do

- Its a 7A.
It's good to see that kit quality has improved in later models.
This guy should have gone the quick build route.
Breathtaking!

Has anyone used a plate to reduce the oil cooler air intake diameter
from 4" to say 2"? or a plate to screen off half the area? My Lycoming
rep says the 165-180F currently achieved is adequate; however I may fly
north this winter. It's finally cooling in AZ.

What I can tell you is that I installed a butterfly valve... that I remove
in the summer, but can dial in perfect temps in the winter.... but here's t
he real point... The 2nd time I installed it, I didn't use locktight, and i
t fell into the openning.... even though it covered about 3/4's of the open
ning, the temps were perfect.- So, if you install some kind of plate, you
might either want it somewhat adjustable, or cover up at least 60%.
Maybe we should ask the guy who did such a nice job on his plane at LOE!

We installed a cable controlled butterfly valve on our cooler plenum. I think Avery
tools sell them. You can from the cabin, control the amount of air flow to
the cooler, thus controlling the oil temp.

| Subject: | Messy inboard fuel vent |
This is a sort of follow up to the 1/29/08 discussion on fuel vents and fuel vent
icing. I seem to be getting a fair amount of leaking (overflow) from my fuel
vent especially on the pilot side. I have the standard Vans installation of
the vent with a 90 degree downturn - plus I drilled a very small #50 hole in the
top of the aluminum line (per 1/29/08 discussion) so
that my tank would not collapse if the vent iced up. Does anyone think that it
would help the leak-out if I elevated the bend where the 90 degree turn is at
the wing root. Are there other ramifications to doing this?
