Dear Listers, Here in the United States, Thursday is our National day of Thanksgiving. Many of us will be traveling to be with our families and friends to share in generous feasts of plenty and giving thanks for the many blessings that have been bestowed upon us. Many Listers have expressed over the last couple of weeks how thankful they are for the Email Lists and Forums here on the Matronics servers and for all of the assistance and comradery they have experienced being a part of the Lists. One of my favorite comments is when someone writes to me and says something like, "Its the first thing I do in the morning while I'm having my morning coffee!". That's a wonderful tribute to the purpose and function of these Lists. Its always great to hear I'm not the only one that jumps out of bed each morning to check my List email!! Won't you take a minute today and show your appreciation for these Lists and for their continued operation and upgrade? The List Contribution Site is: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Or, drop a personal check in the mail to: Matt Dralle / Matronics 581 Jeannie Way Livermore CA 94550 USA Thank you in advance for your kind consideration, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 06:23:31 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Transition Training LODA From: "dmaib@me.com" Good point Rene and Tim. I will speak to my agent. When I got mine from Alex, my insurance just required five hours with a CFI in an RV-10. When I told them I was going to Alex, they seemed to know who he was, but no requirement to use him or Mike. At any rate, I will explore this. -------- David Maib RV-10 #40559 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=321004#321004 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:15:09 AM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: Transition Training LODA From: Jesse Saint This is the same as what I have seen. I have never had a request for a specific CFI, just a specific requirement with a CFI. For someone doing the dual in their own plane, that CFI just had to get covered in that plane first. do not archive Jesse Saint Saint Aviation, Inc. jesse@saintaviation.com C: 352-427-0285 F: 815-377-3694 On Nov 25, 2010, at 9:20 AM, dmaib@me.com wrote: > > Good point Rene and Tim.

I have an ugly double shark fin antenna that has to go on top of the cabin cover as far forward as possible. My problem is the ground plane. Garmin wants 18x18 ground plane and all I can do is 10x33 copper mesh that sandwiches on the inside. With Geoff's overhead console it is really easy to reach inside through the access plates. Also, if you want to look at a nice install that is hidden, look what Robin Marks did on his cabin top. I would think structurally the carbon fiber console has to compensate for the cabin top being milled out. http://www.painttheweb.com/painttheweb/rv-10/GPSAntenn.aspx -------- Cust. #40936 RV-10 SB Fuselage N801VR reserved Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=321025#321025 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 06:23:53 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: GPS antenna location From: Jim Combs I see you all are determined to embed / mount the GPS antenna into the cabin. Here is another solution. I have mine under the cowl on a mounted plate attached to the firewall and the top of the engine mount. Flying now with 200 hours and no issues. I have access to them, they are easily inspected and serviced if ever needed, and it a ton easier to do (no fiberglass or routing of cables up to the cabin top). I have the 430W GPS antenna, an XM weather antenna, and a stand-alone GPS receiver (49$ driving co-pilot EFIS and AP). Food for thought.

Should I get the 3G model so that I can get en-route weather (when I can get a cel signal). Or is it a waste of money to get the 3G model. -------- See you OSH '11 Q/B - flying 1 yr+ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=321066#321066 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
