Kelly,
Thanks for the advice. I'll keep you posted. Here is an excel spread sheet

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 fly over the hill to do business in SF frequently. I like Marin's Gnoss field
that I flew out of for many years. The gas is cheaper at the self service in
Petaluma just north of Gnoss, but Gnoss is closer to SF.
Hertz (and I believe Enterprise) will pick you up to get your rental car at Gnoss.
I always use Hertz. Oakland used to be great (Kaiser Air) but now VERY expensive.
Gnoss has lots of tie downs. Parking is cheap $6 and is quite safe plus
they have a night security guard. Be sure to park facing west. The hotels in
Marin are cheaper ($100/night) and quieter than in SF. I like the Marriott Courtyard
-Larkspur and the Extended Stay America San Rafael. If you book direct
both have a 6:00PM free cancel policy - good if you are flying.
Things to do in Marin or on the way to SF - Muir Woods, Sausalito, Whale watching
at Pt. Reyes (1.5 hr drive to the point), and Ferry ride into SF from Larkspur.
I would just fly down to Monterey rather than back-track unless you put down and
stay at Reid-Hillview in San Jose

The biggest problem is the head of the Phillips driver - rolling out of the screw
head and buggering the screw.
A few years ago my former plane partner showed me something called the "X" head
screwdriver. They are hard to find, but I located some at Snap-on at OSH a few
years back. (just driver tips) They have 2 or 3 tiny but distinctive ridges
or cuts on the side of the tip that seem to really grip the Phillips head channels.
I did a few hundred screws yesterday - doing my annual and buggered only
2 screws.

Tim,
For #1 & #2, I would say Watsonville. KWVI. It is in the middle of Monterey Bay.
On the north side of the bay is Santa Cruz with its beaches and boardwalk and on
the south side, Monterey/Carmel.
>From WVI, San Francisco is about 80 mi. You can take the coast road (Hwy 1)
for some great ocean views or up the SF bay (101 or 280) or up one and back the
other.
One last item, if you were to have any maintenance issues, Dave at Air Crafters
is located on WVI.

Yep, that's it. Rolling out of the head is the problem and it's what
this driver tends not to do. Even at an angle. I don't know if this
driver has that feature but I'm going to check.
If the "x" thing is the trick, I'll have to get some for my little
powered drivers. As mentioned before, Costco has one at $20 which
seems to be 50% of what it costs everywhere else. Nice unit.
I just ordered 3 drivers and they are on their way.....one small step
for this project, one giant leap for my tool box. And I'm happy.
Enderes was reselling a 15 in 1 ratcheting driver that I'd like to get
but it seems to be out of stock in all channels. Will keep an eye out
for it.

super common. They've been on sale with the multi-driver where
you get a large/small philips on one end and large/small flat
on the other, and the hex shank is sized to do the size of
nutdriver that worm clamps use. I just used mine to winterize
the boat. It was interesting because I've always been amazed by
the screwdrivers. I have tons of screwdrivers, but many phillips
drivers just wear out and eventually you get a stub tip poking
in the center of the driver and the thing starts to skip
as it turns....but these seem to have some really good hardened
steel on the tips, along with those grooves, and they just
rarely skip and rarely wear out. I have had good luck with
a particular stanley driver too, but for many years now these
enderes drivers have been what I use on the plane, because
I hate stripping screw heads. Whenever they're on sale for
under $3 I buy a couple. The metal tip is as-described...not
chromed at all, just a dull grey on the tip. I did find a
small version of it, I'm guessing made by Enderes, but it's
relabeled under a local store name, that seems to hold up
just as well, but is for small phillips screws and has a
flat on the other end. I use that under the panel a lot.
I think it was .59 or .79 when I got one a couple weeks ago
for my laptop bag.
Whatever they do at Enderes, they do it right. Hopefully
they won't start offshoring it from China like everyone
else seems to do.

I am _far_ from an expert on this, but... SJC (at Atlantic Aviation) is
probably the most expensive, but also probably the easiest to get a rental
car and "safest". They are used to serving the folks in jets, so you get
high service at high prices. They can also put your plane in a hangar for a
fee. PAO is nice and centrally located, but I think fuel prices are not
cheap. I'd guess that RHV is probably the cheapest option in the area,
don't know about rental cars there. Other choices I know less about: SQL,
OAK, HWD.

I went kayaking recently in the Elkhorn Slough. It seems that all of the

part of the package. So no need to bring a wetsuit. (I went with

Yes... not much and sometimes it requires a little "reverse" deflection.
It all depends on how your plane is rigged (ultimately) and then of course
fuel / passenger loading and X Wind.
I rarely (if ever) see it deflected more than 30% of its maximum travel.
BTW while I consider all other cockpit trim indicators an absolute safety
requirement but having a rudder trim indicator is not a requirement
because you can easily overpower the rudder trim with foot action and you
have a built in indicator with the slip ball. Your call. The only reason I
bring it up is my painter shorted out my Ray Allen position indicator
(thanks!) and after about 160 hours of additional flight time I have not
really missed the Rudder Trim indication. Again your call.

I'm based at Livermore (KLVK). Tie downs are inexpensive; self serve fuel average
($4.50 or so); you need to call Enterprise in advance for a car. Several hotels/motels
within a mile. Wx usually is vfr, and if not there's a good ILS and
an LPV gps approach. You'll want a car but I recommend taking BART to see San
Francisco.
KMRY is a bit pricey, but convenient, and both FBO's have rental cars.

At LVK Enterprise is way far from the airport (got me last month when I
flew in) plan on an additional 60 minutes there/back & check in/out. I
think Hertz is on the airport or much closer. Generally low fuel prices at
LVK. Plus you can visit Matt, his hangar is the one glowing with all the
electronics.
At MRY Del Monte is nicer but Monterey Bay Aviation is less expensive and
faster in/out.
I personally prefer OAR (Marina) when flying into the Monterey area. No
tower, no hassle. 3rd party rent-a-car about 2 blocks away. Fuel is
between $0.50 & $1.10 less than MRY.

My plan is to attach a hinge to the TE of the rudder and one aileron,
driven by model airplane servo's. I don't like the big wedge cutout
..... this is for trim, not flying the airplane!!!
One advantage I have is that I can program a single-chip (almost)
computer to control the servo.

Chris:
Couple of years ago I got this book for my Dad (former machinist). I
found it quite interesting. It tells about the history of the screws and
the different heads. If I remember correctly, the reason the US has the
Phillips drive type head and not the Robertson's is because of Henry
Ford. Even then, they knew the square drive worked better, but Phillips
had a cheaper screw, and therefore Henry Ford went with it.
This book is worth the $10. Get one for some one for xmas and pass it
around.

forward most 3-4 places on each side of the tunnel cover. Removing/inserting
those with an Allen wrench beats Phillips head there anytime.

Chris:
Couple of years ago I got this book for my Dad (former machinist). I
found it quite interesting. It tells about the history of the screws and
the different heads. If I remember correctly, the reason the US has the
Phillips drive type head and not the Robertson's is because of Henry
Ford. Even then, they knew the square drive worked better, but Phillips
had a cheaper screw, and therefore Henry Ford went with it.
This book is worth the $10. Get one for some one for xmas and pass it
around.

Kelly,
Tested the EGT probes with a heat gun. All are reading correctly. Spoke to
GAMI. They can't figure out what's going on but will try an even richer
injector for 5 and an even leaner injector for 3. To be continued.

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'm trying to go with Don Orrick's solution as documented here on Tim
Olsen's site:
http://www.myrv10.com/tips/mods/RudderTrim/DonOrrick.html
Don's has a very fine flying '10 with many fine features I'd love to
copy. When I saw it at Oshkosh several years ago I couldn't figure out
what the vernier knob was for but later saw this on Tim's site.
I fly a Maule right now and it has a similar setup in the sense that it
simply applies a spring to the right rudder pedal control using one of
these to control the spring:
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/thandledashctrl.php
The assumption here is that only right trim is required. Works fine on
the Maule and is about as simple as it gets.
Don uses a pulley to turn 180 degrees at the firewall. I mocked it up
with the T-handle control above and looks like the cable can make the
turn with out the pulley. So I've installed a bracket and cable and
will try to size and fit a spring to see if I can make it work. If
not, the Skunk works control horn approach looks good too.

Yes this photo is on my phone, iPad and website. I occasionally get comments
about flying over all that water but you and I know we were on the shoreline
shooting west.

Robin, first time I actually went out to your site. Nice job, GREAT
write-up... and I'm flattered that you used one of the shots as the
background that I took of your plane while we were touring Hearst Castle,
Morrow Bay, and Pismo with both our 10's. Now that was fun! Flying back to
Calif in the next few days for a visit. Hope to see you soon on a visit to
Pecan.
