Looking very stealth like. . I think my 8A seats might look like a good
color combination for your interior.
Very tidy workplace. Well done.
BTW RV-list the G3X system updates are dirt simple.

I have the old style fuel valve bracket that came with my quick build and see that
there was a change later on so that the heat ducting can go above the valve
and not below. I'm not sure that simply inverting the bracket will allow enough
clearance, is someone familiar with the steps needed to modify to allow clearance?
Seems the rudder cable uhmw guides are in the way, will also have to
re-make fuel lines.

| Subject: | Re: WingX 7 for iPad |
In this months issue of IFR magazine there is an article "Our Favorite
Apps". Here are some of the highlights from the article.
iPad as MFD:WingX
"For an airplane without an MFD or, perhaps, even a GPS, WingX Pro is
the weapon of choice. It is the closest thing to a portable GPS out
there with critical features like groundspeed and track, terrain
awareness and easy direct-to routing."
Masterful Design: ForeFlight
"If the aircraft we're hopping into already has a good GPS and MFD, then
we usually fire up ForeFlight Mobile. While not quite as feature rich
as WingX, ForeFlight is simply easier to use and, in our opinion, more
pleasing on the eyes. If there was an award for elegance in software,
ForeFlight would win it."
Fingertip WX: Pilot MyCast
"The third prong in the triumvirate of our go-to apps is Garmin's Pilot
MyCast. If you primarily want weather, this is the app for you. At
$10/month, it's an extra expense for convenience - ForeFlight does
almost everything MyCast does, if not quite as easily - but when we want
to get a crystal clear weather picture, right now, on the iPhone, we
launch MyCast."
The Bargain: SkyCharts Pro
"While not a powerful or elegant as the competition, SkyCharts Por does
the job for a bargain price: $20/year for VFR, IFR and approach charts.
Just be sure to tell the program to cache approach charts if you want
them in flight."
If you want to read more, let me know via email off list.

I would first recommend deciding whether you want to stick with the
Vans valve or upgrade to an Andair valve. That will influence where
you ultimately mount the valve. I seem to recall one of the "new"
style Vans valves failing at around 300 hours. Whether you move your
valve at all probably depends on whether you will use heater for rear
seat much or not. Or you could just ignore the issue and see whether
you have any issues in the first year of flying. You will have to go
back in there for first condition inspection anyway.

I originally had mine (Andair) mounted at the top so I would not need an extension.
After I got things plumbed up and rudder cables installed, I had to snake
the heat scat to get it to the back. I was not at all happy that the heat duct
was right next to the valve and fuel line plumbing, let alone riding next to
the rudder cable for potential wear. I ended up mov ing the valve to the plans
position and machining an extension myself. (Andair does offer extensions).
I am happy with the results and feel a whole lot better that I am not exposing
the valve and fuel lines to the heat carried in the duct. I really like the Andair
valve but thinking back I should have probably stuck with the Van's supplied
valve for simplicity of installation.

I received a 'bastard' QB kit - some parts for the old configuration, some for
the new, so I had a chance to look at all the parts.
Inverting the bracket will leave some holes in the wrong place. You need the new
brackets.
The rudder cables clear either installation.
The fuel lines will need to be re-done, removing the "cross over". The 'new' setup
also uses a few more AN fittings, rather than continuous tube and rubber grommets,
going into the tunnel area.
The 'new' valve is identical to the old one, except the shaft has been thinned
slightly to allow an extender tube to go over it.
IMHO the best (only?) reason to change to the new set up is that the new handle
looks much nicer, and has a positive 'lift to change tanks' detent.

If I remember right, the keyswitch wire is the only wire on that
whole connector on the Lightspeed, right? If so, I think you
can just disconnect that connector, and that would give
you an always-on Lightspeed for testing. At that point
you could either:
A) Be really darn careful and start it up and see if it's
running on the lightspeed when you switch off the mag.
And kill it with the big mixture pull.
B) Pull all your plugs and wires and spin the prop and
see if the lightspeed sparks jump between the coils.
With no compression and no plugs to spark, it turns
real easily and you can see if the lightspeed sparks.
I remember in my garage spinning the prop and watching
them spark to determine spark order.

Tim, It will fire like that. I had worked through that the first time I was having
issues with it kicking back the engine during crank. Although I could start
the engine fine with the CB pulled then reset it and everything ran fine. I
know it will fire, it is just a matter of getting it wired right on the keyswitch
so I am getting the correct ignition retarded and the engine starts. The first
time I had it wired to the sheet from ACS. The second time I wired it as
you did, and I am getting the Plasma constantly disabled. I have checked the switch
with a multi-meter and it appears to be functioning correctly. I am going
to SunNFun this weekend so I may do some poking around down there and chat with
the Stein and his folks. I think my big issue is going to be where to jumper
the key switch and where the p-lead form the mag ground go.

I also don't think this should be one of those things
that really is all that complicated. I mean, I had
to go through a couple of revisions back in 2005
to get it right, but since then, I've had it all
documented and many people have done just what I did
and had good luck. So today, the Andair valve is
probably more the "standard" than the standard
valve. At least among the people who know the
difference between the valves. I'd really never
consider the Van's valve...with or without the
fancy handle.

just one misplaced wire, or something small.
One thing about starting...I'm not 100% sure, but reasonably
sure that when I crank, my lightspeed is on. I've started
it before with the lightspeed disabled and it takes more
to get it started. I have never had a kickback issue. I'm
a bit confused by this all because I know some people
have talked about kickback before. I can tell you that
I have an impulse coupled mag on the Left, and Lightspeed
on the right. The ignition system is one of the things
in my top ten list of the things that I love about building
my own plane...it's a huge benefit to be able to use
such things.

| Subject: | Re: fuel valve bracket & clearance |
I guess what I meant by simplicity is that if I had just stuck with the pla
ns fuel valve set-up,,,,it would have been done right the first time. I spe
nt the better part of a full day redoing everything and machining the valve
extension. Contrary to what someone else said,,,I had interference with th
e rudder cable and would have had to make the scat tube oval shaped around
the Andair valve and fuel line/fitting,,,,then fasten it to the valve to ho
ld it in place,,,,something I was not willing to do. Another option was to
sheath the cable,,,,,but I really wanted to get some distance from the fuel
valve and fuel lines so it was worth the effort. The discussion on the And
air vs. Van's fuel valve has been pretty well hashed over many times. The m
ajority of builders have had very good success with Van's valve set up. I e
ven went so far as to assemble the valve with the van's detent kit and like
d the way it operated,,,,,you have to lift the selector pointer to change t
anks and it locks back down into position similiar to the way the Andair op
erates. The one thing I did not like about the Andair is that the L/R tank
position can be changed without lifting the pointer handle,,,,it is only he
ld in position by an internal valve "click" detent that is easily moved wit
h little effort. Fearing accidentally bumping the valve pointer somewhere i
n between the L/R position,,,I made mine so that the pointer handle has to
be lifted to move from L/R and to the OFF position.

David,
I was with you all the way till the simplicity part. I personally feel the
Andair fuel valve is worth the effort over the Vans Fuel valve.

I originally had mine (Andair) mounted at the top so I would not need an ex
tension. After I got things plumbed up and rudder cables installed, I had t
o snake the heat scat to get it to the back. I was not at all happy that th
e heat duct was right next to the valve and fuel line plumbing, let alone r
iding next to the rudder cable for potential wear. I ended up moving the va
lve to the plans position and machining an extension myself. (Andair does o
ffer extensions). I am happy with the results and feel a whole lot better t
hat I am not exposing the valve and fuel lines to the heat carried in the d
uct. I really like the Andair valve but thinking back I should have probabl
y stuck with the Van's supplied valve for simplicity of installation.

Subject: RV10-List: fuel valve bracket & clearance
I have the old style fuel valve bracket that came with my quick build and s
ee that there was a change later on so that the heat ducting can go above t
he valve and not below. I'm not sure that simply inverting the bracket will
allow enough clearance, is someone familiar with the steps needed to modif
y to allow clearance? Seems the rudder cable uhmw guides are in the way, wi
ll also have to re-make fuel lines.

Hmmmmm, My wife just dropped an envelope on my desk and on opening it I
find a copy of Airguides new format 'Flight Guide' for the Western
States. I did Not order this. When, I received the renewal form in the
mail, I tossed it in favor of my Foreflight ipad app.
Is this some kind of marketing ploy? I checked my bank acct and no
debits have been entered. Has something similar happened to anyone else?

| Subject: | Re: Elevator trim setting |
I would like to know others opinions on this topic. I might be willing to set
mine up this way.
Here's where I am at now, going by the plans. I set both trim tabs to 35 degrees
down and when I bring them up to trail position, the right side is higher than
the left side.
Please help me set my trim tabs up correctly.
Thanks,
Jake

Hmmmmmmm, Deems it is either a marketing ploy or someone at your airport or
another airport heard you fly in to the wrong airport, on the wrong frequency,
landed on the wrong runway, taxied on the wrong taxi way, tied down in the wrong
spot and took the wrong airport car and they are just trying to help out.
Yaeeee, definitely a marketing ploy.
