Three of the last five Lycomings that I have had access to (with the cowl o
ff) have had damage. You pix was the worst. On a certificated engine the
most damage "permitted" is 10% of the tubings wall thickness. You were abo
ut 5x that. Kudos to Sean.

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.

Subject: | Grounding Gretz control module |
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.
Thoughts?

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.

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.

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.

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 |
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.

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.

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.

Subject: | Battery breaker vs contactor |
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?

Does anyone know if the front seat headrest foam came with the kit or not?
I can't find them anywhere...

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.

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.

BTW, you're not putting the M14P in the -10 are you??? :-D

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

Never be embarrassed at sharing information which, when correctly acted
on leaves our friends flying safety and our insurance rates more
reasonable because the RV-10 becomes a proven work horse.
I still think often of Dan.... and his family.

Three of the last five Lycomings that I have had access to (with the
cowl off) have had damage. You pix was the worst. On a certificated
engine the most damage "permitted" is 10% of the tubings wall thickness.
You were about 5x that. Kudos to Sean.
Hyrocarbons in proximity of an exhaust system would make for a bad day.

During this years annual it was discovered that the baffle rod that
pushes against the oil lines had worn a groove in two of them where the
plastic bushing moved.
Here are more pictures of it. Just a heads up to check during those oil
changes.

Like I mentioned in the thread, I think this occurred in the last 50-100
hours because I typically check this anytime the bottom cowling is off.
I still need to thank Sean for seeing this. I had not checked the left
side of the engine yet and he was helping change the oil and caught it.
I would hope I would have seen when I inspected the left side but it is
always nice to have another pair of eyes check stuff out.

Yes, conventional strobes are a strong RFI generator that need shielding
exactly the way the manufacturer specifies.
