    Subject: Re: Need the type of material for front wing spar (Sparweb,
    Stepped bar, Doubler) I was up at Tru Trak last year having some work done on my AP and was looking at their RV10. They have two additional 60 gallon tanks on theirs. One inboard like normal and then the same tank on the abutting outboard portion of the wing. I was talking to Jim Younkin, who owns Tru Trak, about it. You might want to give him a call he might be able to give you some insight into his research on installing his. Wayne Edgerton 40336 N602WT do not archive

    I just filled mine with clear silicone and then shaved it flush. It's good to seal it against carbon monoxide, but how you seal it probably isn't a big deal. Fiberglass and epoxy and fairing filler would work fine pre-paint. I did mine after painting. It's not really too easily noticed.

    Here are some conservative numbers: CHT, 380 F yellow, 400 red, 200-380 green Oil pressure, 25-50 yellow, 55-75 green,75-90 yellow, above that red Oil temp 160-220 green 220-240 yellow 240 red. Fuel pressure 20-28 green, below 18 and above 28 red, Fuel flow, above 27 or so red. That should get you started. Keep in mind that Lycoming operator's handbook red lines are NOT conservative...like CHT redline 475-500 in climb and 425 in cruise...much too hot.

    Subject: FWF kit recieved on Friday...
    From: "rv10flyer" <wayne.gillispie@yahoo.com>
    Eight days from my call to Dale at Van's. After receiving it I am very happy with the quality. I spent about 5 min on the phone with Dale, 20 min running check to post office for certified mail. I left off 3 control cables, purchased longer RV-7 throttle cable from Van's. Purchased longer prop and mixture cables from ACS, another 5 min. Those two cables are due the beginning of Feb. The only thing I could see you might want to improve on would be the integral firesleeved hoses. Just two fuel hoses have slip on fire sleeve from Van's. My thinking was that probably less than 1% of the fatal crashes are caused from fire(just a guess). I will install an engine compartment fire detection system using fusible links for less than $50. I also have Van's $50 brass fuel selector. At that price I even bought a spare to keep in my tool bag with all four fittings installed just in case I get a leak when I am traveling far from home. With fittings installed I could change it out in 15 min. Very nice exhaust system from Larry Vetterman and my favorite was the MT prop governor made in Germany. I spent 3 yrs there in the Army. -------- Wayne Gillispie, A&amp;P 5/93, PPC 10/08 Bldr# 40983 SB Fuselage 9/21/10- working on Sec 38 Rudder pedals/interior painting.

    I don't know if you have noted emails to the list in the past that the MT governor that Van's supplies is for a narrow deck engine. If you are going to use a wide deck engine you should have MT convert it to the correct gear ratio for wide deck engines, it is different from the narrow deck units.

    Yes, you won't get a new narrow deck engine, which is why it makes no sense that the only governor Van's sells is for a narrow deck engine. You can get new or overhauled wide deck engines as well. Just be sure you get governor with correct gear ratio for the engine you plan on using.

    From: "AirMike" <Mikeabel@Pacbell.net>
    I put the Reiff - Vans pads on my IO540 this fall. Gets the oil to 60 degrees overnight which is fine for start-up (after a 10 degree night). The Vans pads are 2x50W. I notice that the one that you are looking at is 150W - Overkill? I also note that the budget pad has no ground plug. I figure that with a $40K engine what the heck is $170 for a tried and true certified product. I also figure that with the Reiff product that there is a some liability trail if the product is defective. -------- See you OSH '11 Q/B - flying 1 yr+ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=326203#326203

    Subject: Engine Monitor Range/Alarm settings
    I just read Sonja Englert=92s book last night claiming that for a good engine break-in, the CHT needs to be above 400=B0F. No specifics or justification is given, but combined with Kelly=92s numbers below that would put you in the red for your first few hours of flight which would not seem such a good idea. Just a head=92s up.
