Dear Listers, Curiously, even though the number of List subscriptions are significantly up this year, support during this year's Fund Raiser is still substantially behind last year. There are only a couple more days left in November and the end of the Fund Raiser is quickly approaching. I have always preferred a non-commercial List experience as many, many members have also expressed that they do as well. However, if the yearly fund raiser cannot generate sufficient funds to keep the bills paid, other sources of income might be required including some sort of advertising. Please don't let that happen! Your personal Contribution of $20 or $30 goes a long ways to keeping the operation a float. Please make sure your name is on this year's List of Contributors published in December.

I haven't looked, but I think these studs are in shear, not tension???? Please correct me if I'm wrong. No matter how tight you get the stud, it won't change it's 'holding power'.

The install to the rib adjacent to the slot is not too hard, although you may need to use a few pop rivets if you don't have room for solid rivets.

He stated he was at 200' long the coast and heading toward KVNC. About 20 minutes prior to this I was nearly involved in a mid-air flying around the Tampa Class B. I didn't get a TIS warning because the 480 quit commicating with the 330. I switched to the EFIS map and was shocked to see a red warning flashing. A twin flew directly under me at about about 100-200' below. Because of this close encounter of the metallic kind, I got really distracted about the helicopter. As a result I was paying too much attention to the outside and not enough attention to the A/S. I did eventually hear the AOA warning but it was VERY easy to ignore as ANOTHER VOICE on the radio.

As someone else pointed out the tail shakes before the stall (but I don't know about that either), so a stall warning horn may not have helped. As you gain more experience (not like the close encounter kinds) you'll feel and hear what your airplane does. That will serve you better than a stall warning. Having said that, which one do you 'count on', the AOA or the stall horn???? Some observations: When I'm approaching my destination I pull the throttle back to give me about 80 in level flight .... different RPM for different airplanes. In the pattern, usually on base, I'll reset the power for my descent to the runway. I don't have to look inside the cockpit once I'm in the pattern. Looking and listening are my top priorities. I'd be more worried why you had the equipment failure, and whether you could increase the volume or type of sound of the AOA.

Under normal conditions and following normal procedures, stall warning shouldn't be an issue. Given any interruptions, abnormal conditions or abnormal procedures, that's when the backup warning is needed. Same goes for gear warnings but we don't have that problem.

Sheldon Olesen N475PV 237 hrs ________________________________ Message 17 ____________________________________ Time: 01:12:54 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: Retrofit Stall warning Decision From: Sheldon Olesen Linn, John and others, Thank you all for the comments. That's what makes the list valuable. My initial analysis of the AOA vs stall horn came down squarely on the side of the AOA. My point is that in a high traffic area with heavy radio traffic the warning message can get lost in all the radio traffic coming through the audio panel. At the time I was flying, there was almost constant radio traffic that competed with the message the AOA sent. While sitting in my hanger the AOA message is more than adequate, but when in a high radio traffic area and being distracted the message may get lost. An AOA that could give the "Angle, angle, push" warning and then trigger a horn closer to the stall event would be more ideal in my estimation. Since my AOA cannot trigger a horn then the next best thing is the old stall warning system. The plane never got into stall buffet and probably wasn't that close to a stall situation. I setup the plane to fly at a certain air speed in the pattern, base, and final. I try to look outside the plane as much as possible and just glance at the ASI to make sure all is well. I do use the AOA and try and keep 2 yellow lights during the descent for landing. After "incidents" while flying I try to analyze what went wrong and try to eliminate the cause. I sure would hate for my "incident" to raise the insurance rates for the rest of you and make funeral directors happy. As far as the equipment failure is concerned, I have checked the wiring between the 480 and the 330 and all is okay. I think the 480 is failing because I am now getting warnings for the air fuel data, the transponder and I have noticed the ILS vertical needle is missing during startup. I still need to check the software settings for both the the 330 and the 480. Realistically, I think a trip to avionics shop is in order.

He stated he was at 200' long the coast and heading toward KVNC. About 20 minutes prior to this I was nearly involved in a mid-air flying around the Tampa Class B. I didn't get a TIS warning because the 480 quit commicating with the 330. I switched to the EFIS map and was shocked to see a red warning flashing. A twin flew directly under me at about about 100-200' below. Because of this close encounter of the metallic kind, I got really distracted about the helicopter. As a result I was paying too much attention to the outside and not enough attention to the A/S. I did eventually hear the AOA warning but it was VERY easy to ignore as ANOTHER VOICE on the radio.

It's amazing it works at all. Remember what you want is a certain amount of bolt stretch (pre-load). But most of the torque is needed to overcome friction. So any oil on the threads will make the stated torque value way off. McCauley props are put on with relatively low torque but also with a specified lubricant. I have to think that the star washers Lycoming uses makes a difference in the requirements too. My guess (and it is just a guess): putting in studs involves no preload, so the stated 50 in lbs may be what's needed to engage a certain number of threads. It may also be what's needed to hold against the 30 ft lbs when the nut is put on, and the stud is loaded against the threads. Worst case, when you install the nut, the stud will turn in more until it too is at 30 ft lbs. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=321236#321236 ________________________________ Message 22 ____________________________________ Time: 02:41:12 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Retrofit Stall warning Decision From: "Bob Turner" I assume the AOA is coming from an EFIS of some sort? It would be very easy to build a threshold detector which would set off some sort of alarm whenever an audio message was sent out. Of course, all audio messages would then set off the alarm. If the AOA is stand-alone, then this could be a solution. As others have said, biggest part of the job will be removing the fuel tank. I have a QB wing, and the fuel tank had to come out. After that, as I recall, it helps to have long skinny arms (I don't) to get at the nuts and bolts that hold the switch in place. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=321238#321238 ________________________________ Message 23 ____________________________________ Time: 06:24:51 PM PST US From: Jesse Saint Subject: RV10-List: NavWorx ADS-B on Dynon SkyView I just wanted to post a quick description of my experience installing a NavWorx ADS600-B Transceiver coupled to a Dynon SkyView system. First, I have done one previous installation of a NavWorx ADS-B receiver (not the transceiver) coupled to an AFS screen. This was, I think, almost a year ago, and it took a lot of doing to get it working, but I think it was a matter of AFS and NavWorx not fully understanding how the other had their system setup, so it took some talking to both of them to get things working in the air, although turning it on in demo mode on the ground did show target(s) on the AFS display. I don't remember what the final settings needed to be for the AFS. Bill at NavWorx is fairly good to deal with. I don't fully understand the difference between 1090 and UAT (those may not even be the two systems, or they may be the same). I think Bill said that the UAT system that the NavWorx system works on is better than 1090. Anyway, there didn't seem to be any other options that were reasonably prices, so NavWorx it is. At the present time, Dynon doesn't support the ARINC output that you can get from the NavWorx box, so it is limited to TIS format traffic (8 targets, 7 nm distance, 3500' above, 3000 below) and no weather at this time. Dynon supports the Mode-S traffic from a GTX-330 Transponder, so I asked Bill to just preprogram the unit to output the 330 traffic format and I set the Dynon to output serial encoder data for the ADS-B and to import serial TIS data from a 330. It worked perfectly from the start. I installed the ADS-B box back next to the battery on the side of the tailcone with the GPS antenna on the roof and the UAT antenna on the floor. The NavWorx transceiver came with 2 11' cables of RG-400 with TNC connectors on one end. I just trimmed them to length and crimped a BNC connector on the other end for the antennas. I then crimped the power, ground, encoder input, tis output, 3-pin programming connector and 2 ARINC wires for future use and ran them to the panel where the 2 serial cables hooked into the Dynon. On first tryout on the ground I put the NavWorx box into demo mode and I immediately saw one target on the Dynon map view, slowly circling my position on the map. Then, as it approached the front of the plane on the map screen, the target showed up as a grey diamond on the synthetic vision display. I didn't remember reading that it would show there. That was very impressive. It didn't show any range or altitude info on the SV screen, but it did show the relative altitude on the map display. When in normal TIS mode on the ground, the Dynon screen shows that it is getting a signal from the traffic system, but that there are no targets ("NONE" on the screen). Once I took off to test it in flight, it almost immediately showed the local traffic on the map screen and, when in front of me, on the SV screen as well. When I was flying the patter, however, and I was in fairly close proximity to a Cessna flying very slowly in front of me, it showed a yellow circle with the number "1" in it, right on the horizon line. It also displayed a yellow "Traffic" alert on both the SV and map displays. I don't know the criteria it uses, but that is a really handy feature, IMHO. They may all do that now, but I am very impressed with that feature. I am in an area that is on the edge of the Orlando Mode-S coverage area. At pattern altitude and usually down to a couple of hundred feet, I get traffic when flying with a GTX-330 transponder. With the ADS-B I get traffic from below 100' and well beyond the Mode-S coverage area when flying. I don't know what the current ADS-B coverage is, but I think it covers most of the east coast, including all (or almost all) of Florida. I think the Miami stations require you to be broadcasting ADS-B to be able to receive it, but with the $2,500 transceiver from NavWorx, you get both. In summary, it was a breeze getting the NavWorx and Dynon boxes talking to eachother. On another Dynon note, the SkyView was a fairly simple upgrade from the D-180 system and so far everything worked right from the start except Fuel Pressure, for some reason. The calibration of the AHRS was super simple, easier than previously on the D- systems. I just taxied around and when the gps track showed 180, the Dynon in calib mode showed South and then I just stopped, told it go save the data, which took about 10 seconds, then I kept taxiing for the other 3 directions. Very simple to do, in very Dynon style. The AOA pitot from Dynon, which I never could get calibrated well on the D-180, calibrated quite easily in flight with the SkyView and seems to work quite well. It displays right next to and below the airspeed number, which seems to be a good place to have it. For those recently talking about the stall warning and AOA in the -10, I personally only glance at the airspeed a couple of times while on final, mainly for verifying the flap speeds, and then just feel the proximity to a stall. It usually touches down in the mid 50's, so approaching even in the mid to high 60's is fairly comfortable, although I usually approach in the 70's and am over the fence around 65 (all or these in knots).

One note too regarding coverage....as you begin to see other people with UAT's, you'll be able to see them on your system even if neither of you are in range of a ground station. Since they can speak air-to-air to eachother, you may find sometimes you'll pick up traffic when you're otherwise not in a position to receive it. Neat stuff...I've been loving it.

It works fine, using the TIS same protocol which is built into the AFS. The problem with this is that it severely limits the number of targets to 8 and distance to only 7 miles. However, recently AFS started supporting the native ADSB format of the NavWorx box, which includes weather(ADSB) and traffic out to a couple hundred miles. The only issue is that it only works on the AFS units with an "s" processor. Older units only support the TIS protocol for traffic and no ADSB weather. Lenny [quote="Kelly McMullen"]Thanks for the report Jesse. Embry Riddle there in FL is supposed to have had ADS-B for a long time, and I imagine the rest of the state probably has it by now. This makes considering the Skyview much stronger vs GRT and AFS.
