| Subject: | Re: Messy inboard fuel vent |
The problem is probably that the outboard end of that line is not as high in the
tank as it should be. I have fixed this situation before by reaching in with
my finger through the fuel filler neck and bending the outboard end of the vent
line towards the top skin of the tank. That line just needs to be open to
the tank, so the higher it is in the tank, the more fuel you can have in the
tank before it leaks out. I don't remember the plans making a big deal about
the actual end of the line, but the closer it is to the outboard rib and the closer
it is to the top skin, the more fuel you will be able to fit into the tank
without it leaking.
Putting a bend in the inboard vent line will probably not do anything, because
that would still be much lower than the level of fuel at the open end of the vent
line in the tank. Putting a bend may hold a little bit of fuel in the line
instead of it leaking out, but I don't see any benefit in that.

With enough people and plenty of preparation, it should go smoothly. But as an
IT Project Manager in my day job, I'm kinda anal about those details.
Fortunately, you have awhile before having to deal with lack heat. It's an issue
that we are currently having up north, a few weeks earlier than normal.
Are you moving to BTR? I'm hoping to get down there to visit my mother at Thanksgiving
or Christmas.

I live in Wisconsin and winter temps are usually between 10 and 40 degrees
f. I made a cover plate to use on the oil cooler with holes approximately
3/4" diameter. It works very well, however you must watch your temps if the
temperature rises above 40 degrees f. (note: temps here below 0 are not
unusual) I would suggest that you do not install it untill you are north of
the Mason ' Dixon line.

We another milestone is done. I completely finished the Empennage for the
-10 this weekend and made an extended storage place in the hanger for it.
Horizontal stab is mounted to the garage wall, as well is the Vertical stab
and rudder.
I completed the wings parts inventory and managed to find places to store
all the parts. So I am good to go for a while.

Congrats Bob, there is something about the move to the airports that gives the
project a boost regardless of the stage you are at.
About the return on the brownie points as Gary pointed out, I hope the "yield"
equates to more free time to get-R-done!!
Good luck in your search for an adequate heating solution for the winter months,
you will need it.

| Subject: | TMXIO-540 and GAMI injectors |
Kelly,
My flow divider went out to Mattituck and was cleaned and sent back and I
was told it was all set. I flew the plane with the GAMIs cylinder 5 with the
J(richest injector) and cylinder 3 with the A (leanest injector).
My results are as follows. Cylinder 1 peaked at 11.4 gal cylinder 2 at
11.4 cylinder 3 at 10.5 cylinder 4 at 11.1 cylinder 5 at 12.2 and
cylinder 6 at 11.4.
As you can see this is similar to what I had before the fuel divider was
serviced. Any thoughts on what is going on?

Alan,
Let me politely, but violently disagree with your A&P. Something is blocking
flow in your flow divider. You have proved that. What you and your A&P can
NOT assure is that whatever is blocking the flow won't move and completely
stop the flow. You cannot be assured of stable fuel flow. That is why you
should NOT fly it until it is fixed. I'm sure Mattituck will make it right,
pronto.

Actually, I live in the suburbs of Baton Rouge (Prairieville). Have been here for
about 6 years. Got tired of the Northern Ohio winters and found an active duty
job in the National Guard that keeps me here. I will be here over Thanksgiving
weekend trying to get the plane wrapped up before inspection. It will be
in the hanger starting this Saturday at L38 south of Baton Rouge. I would love
another set of eyes on it if you happen through the area. I have an ever growing
list of little things I want to fix. For Christmas I will be in Honduras doing
a divemaster internship.

Obviously #3 and #5 are your outliers. The question is why. I'd see what
GAMI has to say on the data. Somehow, either the injector on 5 isn't what it
says it is, or the cylinder is getting significantly more air some how. Is
the engine rough when you get all the way to #3 peaking?

Kelly,
Everything pointed to the fuel flow divider and this was sent out and
serviced but despite trying to get cylinder 3 to run leaner and cylinder 5
to run richer the GAMIs have failed. The only other thought I had was that
maybe the EGT probes were swapped on cylinder 3 and 5???

Hi
Ages ago I seem to remember seeing a nose wheel mod that kept a tow bar from
penetrating the nose wheel pant. Rather it had a washed and elongated bolt
that kept the tow bar outside of the wheel pant and prevented damage due to
improper insertion.
Does anyone have a link to this - I can't seem to find it in the archives.
Manny thanks

Hi
I have been meaning to post this question for months but kept forgetting.
Here goes - when I unlatch one of my doors, the strut pushes the door open
on its own. The other door needs to be opened a couple of inches before the
strut opens it the rest of the way.
What is the "proper" way for the door to open - unlatch and it goes up by
itself or unlatch and push open before the strut takes over.
Inquiring minds need to know

| Subject: | Re: Door Operation |
I don't know what the manual says, but I think it's really a matter of
preference. I personally like to be able to unlock the doors and have
them stay down unless I open them up a couple of inches, but I don't
like to have to finish pushing them up because they don't open all the
way. I like to be able to crack them in the hangar without them opening
all the way so some air can get in and keep it cool but so all of the
bugs in Florida don't automatically fly in.
In your situation, personally, I would go with the 2nd door mentioned,
that opens all the way after I push it out a couple of inches.
To each his own.

I am not sure I will have a choice. In the case of the doors, I believe that
the strut geometry has a big impact. In my case that is set. I also think
that the amount of pressure / compression on the door seals at the top of
the door servers to "push" one door a bit more open than the other. This
causes it to open "auto magically" while the other needs a bit of a prod.
That being said, once they start to open, they will open all the way without
any further encouragement.
Cheers

Subject: Re: RV10-List: Door Operation
I don't know what the manual says, but I think it's really a matter of
preference. I personally like to be able to unlock the doors and have them
stay down unless I open them up a couple of inches, but I don't like to have
to finish pushing them up because they don't open all the way. I like to be
able to crack them in the hangar without them opening all the way so some
air can get in and keep it cool but so all of the bugs in Florida don't
automatically fly in.
In your situation, personally, I would go with the 2nd door mentioned, that
opens all the way after I push it out a couple of inches.
To each his own.

Hi
I have been meaning to post this question for months but kept forgetting.
Here goes - when I unlatch one of my doors, the strut pushes the door open
on its own. The other door needs to be opened a couple of inches before the
strut opens it the rest of the way.
What is the "proper" way for the door to open - unlatch and it goes up by
itself or unlatch and push open before the strut takes over.
Inquiring minds need to know

It's there, and I just converted mine over this past weekend.
Use a 3/8 x 2 1/2 inch long box head bolt with a body style big washer
on it to stop the tow bar ears from going too far towards the pants.
You also have to use about a 1/2 inch long sleeve between the bold
head and the aluminum trianglular block that holds the front of the
wheel pant support. I found a 1 inch long solid bronze insert and cut
it in two pieces.
You might look at your threads closely. Mine were fine (24) threads
and one had started to strip, so based on long time A&P comments, I
drilled out and used heli coil inserts so I could use coarse (16)
threads. He said aluminum should use coarse threads, not fine.
I'll try to take a picture tomorrow.

Certainly a possibility, since they are adjacent cylinders. Does the
engine behave like it has a lot of imbalance between cylinders or no?
I'd certainly try swapping those two probes. It will tell you if they
are reading correctly or are swapped. Something is swapped, because your
results are the reverse of what you would expect with those nozzles.
Other option, if easier, would be to swap injector nozzles between those
two cylinders. It will either get a lot better or a lot worse.

I think it also depends a lot on the weight of the door after interior
finishing and the age of the struts.
Early before the interior, the struts were just about right assisting
the opening.
Now after interior and 300 hours they need "help" opening the door and
just barely keep it open.
Others on the list have said Van has a higher pressure "HD" version
which I will probably try.

| Subject: | Re: California coast via RV10? - Follow-up |
Hey all,
Thanks for the great replies to my question about flying the
West Coast. My trip is coming up quick now, and the info you
all gave was valuable. Andrea called today and found out that
Whale Watching is good right now. The hard part is that some
locations only do weekends, and some do weekdays, so we're
trying to pray for good weather and hope all the plans work
out accordingly.
I do have a follow-up couple of questions....
1) When doing our touring around San Francisco, which
airport do you locals recommend I park at...a place that's
handy enough that I can get a rental car, and nice
enough that fuel isn't gouging and the plane will be safe?
2) How about if I spend a day or three between San Francisco
and Monterey....where should I land for Monterey, or should
I just use one airport and drive to both places?
FWIW: Monterey is the most accessible for Whale Watching from
a logistical perspective as far as who's open on what days,
and they've been seeing them lately. Wish I could see the
Orcas but I think that would require perhaps going to
the Seattle area and I'm not sure that's going to work
for sure on this trip.
3) I got good tips for where to stay if we go back by
San Diego and have to stay there, but what place to the
north of L.A. would be good and GA friendly if we need
something?
Other than the "where to stay" questions, it all seems to
be looking pretty good. I don't make hotel plans in advance,
since an RV-10 can easily take you to a whole different
location in a short time if you can't find something.
We're just doing the usual "winging it"...going to land,
get a car, use the ipad or iphone to locate a hotel,
and then start touring around.
Oh, and if we do try to go Kayaking or something in
the Monterey area, I'm guessing that 5/4mm wetsuits
isn't quite good enough, eh? If not, we'll maybe
just leave them at home. It's been too many cheeseburgers
since I've tried my 7mm suit. :)
Looking forward to another adventure. Thanks again, all!

<http://www.matronics.com/searching/getmsg_script.cgi?INDEX=78557902?KEYS=enderes?LISTNAME=RV10?HITNUMBER=4?SERIAL=22105026768?SHOWBUTTONS=NO>*/
* I have this one long shaft phillips head screwdriver that keeps
falling into my hands. It seems to be a #1 phillips but actually
works better than both my #1 and #2 Craftsman drivers. Probably
inherited it from my Dad's shop. It's rusty and looks like hell so
I'm never drawn to it... until I'm struggling with some screw. I
always end up with this one in my hand and the problem is solved.
I've looked Enderes up on the Web and see they forge tools and blah
blah. Any tool knowledgeable people out there know anything about
Enderes? I think I want to try some more. *
So I've gone to the company web site with the intent of buying a few
shorter models than the 10" one I have. Their pricing makes it clear
that the best way to get one or two is to find an old school hardware
store that carries them. I found one 2 miles down the road but they
only had regular Enderes drivers in stock, no Phillips.
Then a Google search turned up this little gem of a story from the year
2000 on an old school Web site called "Everything2". I was amazed!
http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=the+perfect+screwdriver&lastnode_id=1797151&searchy=search
This is the exact screwdriver I've been lusting after!
I will be a very happy camper if I can get a set of Enderes Phillips
drivers in the shorter sizes. Maybe I'll just pay the $30 including $10
of shipping for a set of 3 from the factory.
With all the screws on our planes, it's nice to have the 'perfect
screwdriver' even if there is no such thing. But I'm telling you, this
one works MUCH better than my Craftsman drivers.
