    Two things can be done to separate the lines from the baffling retainer. remove and bend the lines and/or wrap the oil return lines with silicone tape. Also when grouping CHT, EGT, etc , use the silicone tape to separate them even if you tie wrap the lines. tie wraps should go outside of the tape wrap. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Cox To: rv10-list@matronics.com Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2010 5:15 AM Subject: RE: RV10-List: Oil Lines Worn Three of the last five Lycomings that I have had access to (with the cowl off) have had damage.

    Subject: Grounding Gretz control module
    From: "tsts4" <tsts4@verizon.net>
    For those with a Gretz heated pitot, did you ground your Gretz locally on the wing or did you run a dedicated ground wire back to a central grounding point? After a quick test I couldn't get a good ground so I ran a dedicated wire. I then discovered that the wing, sitting by itself in the cradle, won't generate a ground--duh. Now that I know that I'm wondering if I should just go local (like with the landing light) or leave the ground wire in-place place an move on.

    I'm with Geoff....... Mine is grounded to a wing rib. While I'm not flying, I did spend many hours testing the Pilot. It turned out that I had a bad control module and a pitot that had an internal short. Fortunately, Andrew at Angus promptly addressed the issue. -------- Bob Leffler N410BL - Finish RV-10 #40684 http://mykitlog.com/rleffler Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=317860#317860

    You will get a lot less RFI if everything is wired back to a central ground and not relying on the airframe. Airframe works as a ground but some of th e interference in the radios that some people get is due to that method of grounding. > From: g.combs@aerosportmodeling.com > To: rv10-list@matronics.com > Subject: RE: RV10-List: Grounding Gretz control module > Date: Tue=2C 2 Nov 2010 11:13:00 -0400 > .com> > > Todd I have my ground on a wing rib at it works great.

    Thanks guys. Bob, your issue with the module was the very reason I was testing in the first place while I still have the outboard skin off and easy access. Once I got the darn thing to turn on I used a bag of ice and it seems to work just fine, cyclying on and off as expected. -------- Todd Stovall 728TT (reserved) RV-10 Empacone, Wings, Fuse Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=317862#317862

    Subject: Re: Grounding Gretz control module
    I have my wing in a cradle and have no problem testing the groung. I use the positive from the battery to the item I am testing and ground the end of the wing with the battery ground. Than I put the ground wire from the pitot, landing light etc.. on the wing skin (not the area that is primed or otherwise but literally the bare aluminum) and it has worked just fine for me. My plan is ground on the wings themselves. For avionics they all go to a central ground in the sub panel area. Thus far there has not been any issues, thus far my plane sits in the garage being assembled, if I have problems once completely assembled I'll have to deal with the issue(s) and take care of them than I just don't see any reason to have more connections and wires than needed.

    Subject: Re: Grounding Gretz control module
    From: "tsts4" <tsts4@verizon.net>
    My problem was I wasn't grounding the wing itself to anything. I was only supplying power from the power supply to the device and trying to ground locally without running any kind of ground wire back to the power supply. Once I attached a ground lead from my power supply to the wing skin (via an alligator clip), bingo, I was able to ground both the pitot and my landing light to the wing structure. However, before I had my electrical epiphany, I ran a dedicated ground wire for the pitot and was about to do the same thing for the landing light. Now I'm definitely not for the landing light and will probably yank the pitot ground wire and just ground it locally. If I run into RFI issues in the future I can go back and run dedicated grounds if I have to easily enough. -------- Todd Stovall 728TT (reserved) RV-10 Empacone, Wings, Fuse Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=317873#317873

    Subject: quadrant throttle and mixture cable lengths
    The original throttle and mixture cable lengths are reported to be 45.5 and 49.5 inches. For my installation they are only adequate by routing between the motor mount and engine. I routinely replace the external protective covering of propylene tubing. I am thinking that if I replace these cables with a longer version i can eliminate an item of routine maintenance. What cable lengths are others using for the quadrant. The prop cable supplied seem fine.

    Scott It is a very common occurrence for those line to chafe that way. Over the years a s an A & P mechanic I have made numerous replacement lines. Most just bend them up tords the cylinder a tad to prevent the chafing. On my Saratoga the rod that holds the baffling to the cylinders. It is bent to down to move the rod lower than the return lines. I can take some pics if you like, I need to take the cowling off anyway this week or weekend. As for pressure on that line there is very little it is a valve train oil return line making a path for the oil from the rocker shafts and valves to return to the case. John G.

    Subject: Battery breaker vs contactor
    From: "mmayfield" <mmayfield@ozemail.com.au>
    OK, so the aircraft we're talking about has a very simple electrical system. Day VFR only, a comm, a transponder, a few miscellaneous widgets like boost pump, smoke pump, engine monitor, a couple of solenoid valves, and the engine is the venerable M14P which is an air start motor. So the battery is also correspondingly small, and recharged by the B&C SK10 alternator. The traditional basic electrical schematic has an avionics master but I'm discarding this because, well, I just can't see why it is needed at all for this setup. Any issues there? This diagram is also drawn with no battery contactor, but a main battery circuit breaker instead, and the master switch is 14AWG wire in one side and out the other to the bus, I believe. How does this rate compared to using a battery contactor instead? I do recall Bob talking of this being a bit of an unconventional layout (regarding a B&C wiring diagram a while back). Would it be better to specify a battery contactor in a conventional arrangement, or for this system would it not matter too much?

Any issues there? Not really. The avionics master came to life as a way to turn off all the radios etc. at once instead of using each front panel switches. There was a fear that starting and shutdown would cause spikes on the buss that killed the avionics. May have been true, I don't know. However, most all newer electronics have internal switching power supplies and are relatively immune to that scenario. One downside to having the avionics master was that the on/off switches were usually volume controls, which stayed in one spot ..... and wore a hole in the variable resistor part, creating a noisy spot or requiring replacement. > This diagram is also drawn with no battery contactor, but a main battery circuit breaker instead, and the master switch is 14AWG wire in one side and out the other to the bus, I believe. > > How does this rate compared to using a battery contactor instead? I do recall Bob talking of this being a bit of an unconventional layout (regarding a B&C wiring diagram a while back). Would it be better to specify a battery contactor in a conventional arrangement, or for this system would it not matter too much? Typically, the battery master contactor was placed close to the battery and had two jobs. #1 was to supply battery power to the aircraft, and the starter, and #2 was to remove power to all things that might run down the battery if left on. It also allowed the user to cut power if there was a healthy short to ground and prevented ensuing fires. To answer your question, it would be better to have the master contactor available just for the safety issue. Linn BTW, you're not putting the M14P in the -10 are you??? :-D > Mike > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=317911#317911 > >

    You should have 4 pieces for each seat: cushion and seat back, plus the headrest and a lumbar support (which gets glued to the seat back at a location depending on your body). If I remember right these last two were together in one plastic bag. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=317929#317929
