    Just remember, an AZ-10 is a modified RV-10.

    http://www.facebook.com/notes/vans-aircraft-inc/fuel-system-safety/208759802467733 I'm a little surprised Van's would call someone out like this publically, given it would be obvious to many whose RV-10 this is from, but it certainly seems to be something they feel strongly about. -Rob

    Agreed, however it is understandable, given that rubber hose and clamps are appropriate to low pressure carbureted systems, but not fuel injected high pressure systems. I assume the picture was taken pre-fire condition.

    From: John Dunne <acs@acspropeller.com.au>
    Hi Bill, indeed they are balance weights and depending upon the static balance horizontally and/or vertically are applied to the various screw locations to affect horizontal or vertical balance in various numbers. If you don't have many, you most likely have a well balanced prop statically. Dynamically is a different thing and a good thing to do when early in your flying phase. Balance weights will then be added most likely to the spinner backplate in addition. Also make sure the lockwire running between the screws isn't capable of sawing a groove in the blade as it moves during constant speeding.

    Subject: Van's post on fuel systems
    From: "John Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    My guess is the tone and lack of specific as to what NOT TO DO is the writer's license of Ken Scott and not Richard Van Grunsven. I will await clarification and would be happy to comment later on why several adulterations could lead to problems of safety in flight. by definition I guess Ken Scott is Van's Aircraft.

    Subject: throttle quadrant
    Anyone experience "binding" in the throttle quadrant? My throttle and mixture seem more ? difficult to move than normal. I have check firewall forward and find no reason for more force required to move. I have tried the friction lock control but it does not seem to accomplish much if any.
