| Subject: | GPS Interference Update |
I saw the following on my morning read file:
The Air Force is studying the equipment that a commercial telecommunications
company wants to introduce across the United States because of its likely
interference with the Global Positioning System signal, Gen. William
Shelton, Air Force Space Command boss, told House lawmakers last week. The
company, LightSquared of Reston, Va., seeks to erect
<http://r.listpilot.net/c/afa/64mkv5p/2lu0z> up to 40,000 towers mostly in
US urban centers for a new 4G broadband network. "We believe from what we
have seen thus far that virtually every GPS receiver out there would be
affected," said Shelton. He continued, "What we're looking for now from the
company is actual hardware that they plan to use so that we can collect
empirical data as opposed to analytical data." This technical analysis is
due for delivery to the Federal Communications Commission-which is mulling
whether to grant the company an operating license-"by the June timeframe,"
said Shelton. He noted that the company shifted its business model from a
"largely a space-based effort with terrestrial augmentation," to "a
terrestrial-based network with space augmentation." Deputy Defense Secretary
Bill Lynn recently wrote FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski "strongly"
recommending that the commission defer final action until the analysis is
completed. (Lynn letter <http://r.listpilot.net/c/afa/64mkv5p/2lu10> )

Question about the engine mount that comes with the finish kit.
The engine mount ears on the O-540 can be one of two part numbers:
70456
12A19770
It appears that the difference is the size of the engine mount bolt thru
holes in them. The 70456 part is for all O-540 models *except* A1A5 and
A1D5, those two use the other part.
Will either of these work with the finish kit ? Is it just a matter of
using a different size bolt with different engine/cushion/isolator
mounts ? Or is this going to be a problem with the actual engine mount
provided with the vans finish kit ?
Thanks
Ron

The RV-10 mount requires the small hole mounts. If you are ordering a
new engine, then yours will have the small mounts. If you are using a
rebuilt engine or a mid-time engine, there is a chance that it could
come with the large hole mounts. I think some of the -C4B5 engines on
Aztecs used the large mounts. You can pick up the small hole mounts used
serviceable (just make sure they are inspected) or new surplus.

No, I tried making the large-hole mounts work- they won't because they have a different
dynafocal angle. Use the small hole mounts (70456) and hardware as Van's
uses and save time/ money.

Thanks Kevin and Rhonda -- My confusion stemmed from the O-540 parts
catalog saying that the A1D5 has the 12A19770 mounts - that's the model
number that is stamped on my engine plate. (From an Aztec.)
The good news is that the part number that I just read off of the ears
is 70456.
No action required on my part.
Build on.

RV-10 Nosewheel Axle replacement write-up
This weekend I decided to install all my new 3 tires I bought
last fall, since I'm going to perhaps be landing on not the
most improved runways shortly. My nose tire is at basically
700 hours. My mains I've just installed my 3rd set at
basically 700 hours. The Desser 15/6.00-6 High Performance
Retreads really did well for me...they had plenty of beef left
to them and would have lasted dramatically longer than the
ones that came with the kit. The rubber is just plain better,
from the sounds of it. All 3 tires that I just replaced could
have gone another 50-100 hours probably, and I would have
just kept using them if I weren't going out of the US and I
just can't risk not having easy tire access.
My complication came with the nosewheel.
As many people already know, the NW501.25 that comes with
the kit isn't meant for the tire/tube that we use. The proper
wheel is NW511.25, and if you haven't installed yours
yet, you should just return your NW501.25, and buy a new
one from Matco, or at least contact them for a swap.
Here is my old write-up on the subject.
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/upgrades/20090120/index.html
So when I went to replace the nose wheel, I installed a new
tire, and leakguard tube. Whereas before, my stem cleared
plenty good, even with a valve cap on it, it now interfered
by AT LEAST as much as it had cleared before...at least
1/8 to 3/16". I tried bending the stem a little, but after
2 attempts, I broke the stem...$50 down the toilet. I was
cursing the whole time, as I finally experienced what many
other people already had.
I continued on by installing my old tube, which fit ok,
and has clearance again. This got me even more confused,
but there was a difference...my stem had a joggle on it on
the old tube.
So today, I said screw this, and ordered an entire new
nosewheel assembly from Matco, and a new tube. But in
talking with them, I learned something that we haven't really
discussed before...the big "new" part of this whole ordeal...
there are apparently 2 different types of tubes...one is
by Desser, and the other is some other company...I can't
remember the name but it rang a bell...maybe because it
came with the kit.
The difference is the joggle....the desser stem is straight,
and the other stem has the joggle...and that makes all
the difference in the world. Yes, the stupid NW501.25 style
rim should have never been sold with the kit in the first place,
but, knowing there were 2 different tubes makes me understand
why this wasn't a universal problem among us.
So, with the new NW511.25 wheel and tube, and a new 5.00x5
tire, I'm probably good until 1500 hours. Anyone want to buy
a NW501.25 real cheap? I should melt it down and send it
to Vans.

| Subject: | finish kit windows released |
Following up to advise that Cee Baileys released the side windows. I
don=99t have them, but I know they are like the the windscreen-
plug and glue. No cutting required. Same price as Vans.
http://www.vansaircrafttires.com/categories/RV%252d10/Airframe-Parts/
My disclaimer remains- I gain nothing as I already have my windows
installed but the quality of their products are very good and I believe
those behind me can greatly benefit from these options. I should also
state that I have gone to Cee Baileys and asked that they expand their
inventory of parts for builders, there workmanship truly is first rate.
I have requested they think about doing carbon fiber doors- that fit/
require minor adjustments. No idea if they will pursue it, but if they
do I would encourage builders to go that route as anything they put out
will far exceed anything you=99ll get in the kit and the price
will be probably the same if history is any indication.

RV-10 Nosewheel Axle replacement write-up
I guess ignorance is bliss......
I deleted the nose wheel front the kit and ordered new from Matco.
My original tube wouldn't hold air, so I just ordered a new one from Dresser.
I am certainly appreciative to those whose trials and tribulations have made my
build easier.
The list is way to long to mention names, but thanks to all that share their lessons
learned!!

Subject: RE: RV10-List: O-540
The RV-10 mount requires the small hole mounts. If you are ordering a
new engine, then yours will have the small mounts. If you are using a
rebuilt engine or a mid-time engine, there is a chance that it could
come with the large hole mounts. I think some of the -C4B5 engines on
Aztecs used the large mounts. You can pick up the small hole mounts used
serviceable (just make sure they are inspected) or new surplus.

Subject: RV10-List: O-540
Question about the engine mount that comes with the finish kit.
The engine mount ears on the O-540 can be one of two part numbers:
70456
12A19770
It appears that the difference is the size of the engine mount bolt thru
holes in them. The 70456 part is for all O-540 models *except* A1A5 and
A1D5, those two use the other part.
Will either of these work with the finish kit ? Is it just a matter of
using a different size bolt with different engine/cushion/isolator
mounts ? Or is this going to be a problem with the actual engine mount
provided with the vans finish kit ?
Thanks
Ron

Tim,
Where are you planning to fly that requires 3 new tires and a prop
lock? And when are you planning this trip? I have no idea where you are
going but I already cant wait for the photos & write up.
Living vicariously through Tim's family vacations,
Robin

This weekend I decided to install all my new 3 tires I bought
last fall, since I'm going to perhaps be landing on not the
most improved runways shortly. My nose tire is at basically
700 hours. My mains I've just installed my 3rd set at
basically 700 hours. The Desser 15/6.00-6 High Performance
Retreads really did well for me...they had plenty of beef left
to them and would have lasted dramatically longer than the
ones that came with the kit. The rubber is just plain better,
from the sounds of it. All 3 tires that I just replaced could
have gone another 50-100 hours probably, and I would have
just kept using them if I weren't going out of the US and I
just can't risk not having easy tire access.
My complication came with the nosewheel.
As many people already know, the NW501.25 that comes with
the kit isn't meant for the tire/tube that we use. The proper
wheel is NW511.25, and if you haven't installed yours
yet, you should just return your NW501.25, and buy a new
one from Matco, or at least contact them for a swap.
Here is my old write-up on the subject.
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/upgrades/20090120/index.html
So when I went to replace the nose wheel, I installed a new
tire, and leakguard tube. Whereas before, my stem cleared
plenty good, even with a valve cap on it, it now interfered
by AT LEAST as much as it had cleared before...at least
1/8 to 3/16". I tried bending the stem a little, but after
2 attempts, I broke the stem...$50 down the toilet. I was
cursing the whole time, as I finally experienced what many
other people already had.
I continued on by installing my old tube, which fit ok,
and has clearance again. This got me even more confused,
but there was a difference...my stem had a joggle on it on
the old tube.
So today, I said screw this, and ordered an entire new
nosewheel assembly from Matco, and a new tube. But in
talking with them, I learned something that we haven't really
discussed before...the big "new" part of this whole ordeal...
there are apparently 2 different types of tubes...one is
by Desser, and the other is some other company...I can't
remember the name but it rang a bell...maybe because it
came with the kit.
The difference is the joggle....the desser stem is straight,
and the other stem has the joggle...and that makes all
the difference in the world. Yes, the stupid NW501.25 style
rim should have never been sold with the kit in the first place,
but, knowing there were 2 different tubes makes me understand
why this wasn't a universal problem among us.
So, with the new NW511.25 wheel and tube, and a new 5.00x5
tire, I'm probably good until 1500 hours. Anyone want to buy
a NW501.25 real cheap? I should melt it down and send it
to Vans.

Did you get the replacement tube from Vans? or did you find the leakguard
tube to work with the new rim?
Thanks!

I continued on by installing my old tube, which fit ok,
and has clearance again. This got me even more confused,
but there was a difference...my stem had a joggle on it on
the old tube.
So today, I said screw this, and ordered an entire new
nosewheel assembly from Matco, and a new tube. But in
talking with them, I learned something that we haven't really
discussed before...the big "new" part of this whole ordeal...
there are apparently 2 different types of tubes...one is
by Desser, and the other is some other company...I can't
remember the name but it rang a bell...maybe because it
came with the kit.
The difference is the joggle....the desser stem is straight,
and the other stem has the joggle...and that makes all
the difference in the world. Yes, the stupid NW501.25 style
rim should have never been sold with the kit in the first place,
but, knowing there were 2 different tubes makes me understand
why this wasn't a universal problem among us.
So, with the new NW511.25 wheel and tube, and a new 5.00x5
tire, I'm probably good until 1500 hours. Anyone want to buy
a NW501.25 real cheap? I should melt it down and send it
to Vans.

I'm joining Scott for a little trip to the Baja, down by Cabo
real soon. Not even a resort this time...RaNae got a great
looking house to stay at. I'm a bit nervous about the
security/safety aspect of Mexico though....I would prefer it
if we all come home with our heads still on our bodies,
and that my daughters don't get sold off into the
human sex trafficking market. So I'm doing everything I
can to make sure the RV-10 is at 100% for the trip, and
will be guaranteed to bring us home. :)
Should be a good time...and I'll definitely do a write-up.
I bought a new camera lens for the trip too that will
help us pack lighter and give good shots.

RV-10 Nosewheel Axle replacement write-up
Actually, Matco had the Desser tubes in stock, so I had them
send it with my order...so it worked well. My original
tube was a leakguard, but the joggled tube that he checked
there today (2011 as opposed to my original that was from 2005)
wasn't a leakguard. My original was a leakguard and I
rarely add air to the nosewheel. Those leakguards
do seem to make a difference.
He said that the Leakguard would work fine with the new
rim. Normally I'd order from Desser directly, but
I figured I may as well save on the shipping.

You seriously should find out whether your aircraft insurance will cover yo
u and your plane while down there.
I used to drive the the East Cape area=2C towing a 20 foot boat in another
life time. I would not even dream of doing that now.
As for the stories I have heard=2C an aireal recon of Baja is great=2C but
I would not land there. WHether the plane has a lock on the prop or not=2C
they steal it anyway=2C because they will hold a gun to the head of who eve
r is watching over the plane or if not find you and do the same.
This is no joking matter=2C ask your insurance carrier.
Just my two cents and I wouldn't do it.

| Subject: | WingX 7 for iPad |
Well, I was checking updates last night for my iPad2, and ran
across WingX 7 Pro being updated to version 5. It has now
solidified its place as my favorite in-flight app for the ipad.
Foreflight is still my favorite for weather, but, WingX 7
just blew it out of the water for in-flight use.
I don't have time for a full write-up but got excited so I
posted pics here:
http://www.myrv10.com/tips/IFR/WingX/R1/
Note that everything is geo-referenced, and now they even
add features like integration with ADS-B for weather,
so you can even take and hook it up to NavWorX and get
weather in cockpit on your iPad. There are just too
many features to list here, so check out the screenshots
I took and read through the New Feature List part.
I fired it up and it was really zippy on the iPad2, also,
so I'm going to give it a good run-through on my next
trip.

I refuse to go to Mexico when given the offer, but I can tell you that I
have friends who go there montly, as they built a home in La Paz, they
drive through Mexico and tell me they have never been harassed or had
any problem- they go loaded and are ready to =93defend=94 themselves.
Once a police threatened to take them in and take their car, they said
that was fine and nothing ever came of the threat otherwise never an
issue.
Tourist places are usually not an issue if it=92s an organized place, I
think you=92ll be fine and have a great time, people fly there all the
time without issue.
Just take pictures and give us the documentary so I don=92t need to do
the trip myself in the future!

You seriously should find out whether your aircraft insurance will cover
you and your plane while down there.
I used to drive the the East Cape area, towing a 20 foot boat in another
life time. I would not even dream of doing that now.
As for the stories I have heard, an aireal recon of Baja is great, but I
would not land there. WHether the plane has a lock on the prop or not,
they steal it anyway, because they will hold a gun to the head of who
ever is watching over the plane or if not find you and do the same.
This is no joking matter, ask your insurance carrier.
Just my two cents and I wouldn't do it.

Consider joining/using Baja Bush Pilots. They have lots of contacts down there
and many members have made recent and regular flights south. Lots of info for
members and help if needed. I've made several flights to Rocky Point, Loreto,
and La Paz. No problems.

I'm joining Scott for a little trip to the Baja, down by Cabo
real soon. Not even a resort this time...RaNae got a great
looking house to stay at. I'm a bit nervous about the
security/safety aspect of Mexico though....I would prefer it
if we all come home with our heads still on our bodies,
and that my daughters don't get sold off into the
human sex trafficking market. So I'm doing everything I
can to make sure the RV-10 is at 100% for the trip, and
will be guaranteed to bring us home. :)
Should be a good time...and I'll definitely do a write-up.
I bought a new camera lens for the trip too that will
help us pack lighter and give good shots.

Another thing to do is to trim the rib nose flange edges.=C2- The flat fl
anges need help to conform to the round nose skin.
Snip off the flange corner then smooth with a A scotch Bright wheel in a ai
r grinder.
Too much force fit will deform the skin.

I was in the same situation as you a couple months ago.=C2- These do seem
to be the tightest fitting ribs so far in the whole build.=C2- The easie
st way I found to get them in is to start on the top side leading edges and
just start a few clecoes in them.=C2- Then flip the skin/ribs over and
=C2-work them into place adding a few clecoes on this side.=C2- Flip ba

and will do the second tank this weekend.=C2- They do start to fit a lit

y other ribs yet.=C2- If you have a second or even a third set of hands h

Hi all
=C2-
I have just started to do an initial fit of the fuel tank and leading edge
ribs into the skins and found the ribs to be extremely difficult to seat in
to the nose of the skins, at least to have the holes line up for the clecoe
s.=C2-
=C2-
I have fluted and straightened the ribs, and still they appear to be far ti
ghter than the vertical stab ever was.=C2- Can't imagine throwing tank se
alant into the mix.

Any suggestions or words of advise????

Tim,
To be clear since the HiltonSoftware site is not; you pay
$99.00/year for the WingX Pro 7 plus another $75.00 for the Seattle
Avionics chart data subscription. And you pay $149 for ForeFlight HD Pro
that includes the Seattle Avionics chart data subscription? Does that
sound right?
Oh... I have a lifetime subscription to Seattle Avionics but for
PC Tablets that I have never used.
Thanks,

just blew it out of the water for in-flight use.
I don't have time for a full write-up but got excited so I
posted pics here:

Note that everything is geo-referenced, and now they even
add features like integration with ADS-B for weather,
so you can even take and hook it up to NavWorX and get
weather in cockpit on your iPad. There are just too
many features to list here, so check out the screenshots
I took and read through the New Feature List part.
I fired it up and it was really zippy on the iPad2, also,
so I'm going to give it a good run-through on my next
trip.
