I have 1 Electroair and 1 mag and I am very happy with the setup. I
can run LOP smoothly and it starts good. The Electroair is the old
Jeff Rose setup they compare in the EAA CAFE report. I used the
Electroair because Lightspeed did not have a mounting bracket for the
crank pickup to fit my engine. The guys at Electroair are good to
work with and they are going for a certified model also. Blue Skys Barry

I did a search on the FAA aircraft registry for "model = RV-10" and looked
at the number of seats. Most were listed as 4, four were listed as 5 (which
I know has been discussed here), but I was surprised to see that there were
nine listed with 2 seats. What's the reason for doing this? Lower
liability premiums? I suppose it could also just be bad data--I did notice
one has 10 seats and three are "light sport".

E-mag had the 6 cyl version last year and said the same thing. I like the ne
w package- it's different from the others. Round, tube-shaped with the wires
coming out of the end in a circular fashion. The wires are locked in more s
ecurely than in the past. I sent out a picture of it last year. I'll send it
again if I can find it. I'd like to install the 6 cyl pmag in my RV-10 also

I have tried a couple times. Same numbers and no indications. Can anyone out there
smart on this system give me a call. There must be something obvious I have
overlooked. 225-802-4827. GRT appears to be snowed in today.

Anyone using the Crow seatbelts in their -10? When I ordered mine, I didn't
specify and dimensions--I just said I needed a complete set for the RV-10,
since I understand they've done a few. Having now installed mine, the
shoulder straps seem to be too short between the latch and the "Y". See the
attached pictures. The "Y" is right on top of the headrest. I could move
that back a few inches, but then the shoulder pads would be in the wrong
place. Something doesn't seem right here--any ideas?

| Subject: | Re: Crow Harnesses |
Rob, I agree that the pads could be a little more forward. In the first
picture it looks like you're leaning forward a little to put tension on
the harness. Either that or you have a serious shoulder/back problem!!!
If it was me, I'd move the 'Y' forward a little and then take the slack
out by pulling on the adjustment for the shoulder belts. The shoulder
harness should be adjusted so that in your 'cruise' seat position with
the harness just a little slack from snug (yeah, go ahead and measure
that!) you can reach all the stuff on the panel that you need to .....
without having to twist the upper torso very much. The only problem
moving the 'Y' forward is that it causes the shoulder belts to rub the
side of the neck. This is a problem I have in my Pitts, and the
solution was the shoulder pads for car shoulder belts. Nice and soft on
the neck now. But you'd hate to just cover up the pads you paid so
dearly for.

| Subject: | Experience with paint - off RV10 topic |
I am getting ready to paint my current aircraft. Does anyone have experience with
PPG or Dupont (Imron) paint? Unfortunately, my RV10 in not ready to paint
- and probably will not be for some time. Thank you in advance for any comments.

I know this is far more info than you asked for ...... but hopefully
others might benefit.
Two things make a great paint job .... preparation and ..... practice.
Practice on your current airplane and you'll be way ahead when you get
to the -10.
The best job would be a strip and paint ..... sand and paint leaves a
lot of extra weight on the airframe.
Work on filling dings and deep scratches ..... the smallest imperfection
shows up in the paint.
Choose your base color ..... I like white ..... even if you're going to
paint over almost all of it. It'll give even color presentation everywhere.
Use 3M Fineline masking tape .... green for straight lines, blue for
curves. Use paint masking paper. Newspaper doesn't hack it. The paint
job is not the place to save money.
Get a good paint gun. Yup, I've used HF paint guns, but you get what
you pay for, and a quality tool will not let you down.
Mix the paint, reducer and catalyst. I like to reduce the paint a
little more than recommended. Not a lot. A little. Use the proper
reducer for the temperature you'll spray in. Wait 30 minutes. They
call this 'induction time'. I don't know why it matters whether the
induction time occurs in the spray gun pot or on the airplane .... but
it does.
Use a tack cloth everywhere!!!! Change the cloth often. They're cheap
and really help a nice paint job.
Spray a tack coat .... really, really, light. Wait about 30 minutes.
Spray a light cross coat. Wait 30 minutes.
Spray a second cross coat.
Look carefully at your paint job for Throw away that paint left in
the spray gun. Resist the urge to spray it on the plane. All it adds
is weight .... and sags. Clean up the equipment and go home.
Did you notice the 'Wait 30 minutes'???? I found that if you scrimp on
the 30 minutes, the possibility of runs and sags goes way up. A
professional painter may not do this, but I'm not a pro painter and
don't play one on TV. No matter how many times I stayed at a Holiday
Inn ..... I still needed that time.
Best of luck .... and post the pictures when you get done.

And, don't forget, Imron is pretty toxic. Wear personal protection equipment.

| Subject: | Re: number of seats |
I got mine certified with four seats (You have to install seat belts and rear seat
backs in four position) but installed no rear seat cushions. Reason - to keep
my plane light. The rear belts and cushions weigh a lot. I have removed the
left (pilot side) rear seat back and belt assembly. I have left installed the
back right seat back and belts assembly but still no cushion. I figure that
if I need to carry a third person - they can sit on pillows. My current empty
weight 1617# with the tow bar which I always carry. I figure it is mandatory equipment
- try moving the plane without it.....
