    I have had to lengthen the slot on the lower cowl for the gear leg to allow the lower cowl to be removed. I have an Aerocomposits 3 blade prop and the lower cowl has to drop straight down in order to clear the spinner when removing it. Even with the longer slot forward of the gear leg I still pull down the tail to allow the front gear to drop down as far as possible. Albert Gardner N991RV Yuma, AZ

    I suffered from hi oil temps and adding a second oil cooler among other things solved most of the problem, but the final solution was to add an opening on each side under the oil coolers on the bottom cowl to allow more exit air. Temp in Yuma yesterday was 113, temp in hell was 112, so yes, Yuma is hotter than hell. Albert Gardner N991RV Yuma, AZ -----Original Message----- As a -10 (and 8A) James cowl & plenum owner (read: disgruntled) I can tell you that the single best modification we made for reducing high CHT's and Oil Temps was the addition of 4 louvers on the underside of the cowl. Not ideal but by that point we were willing to try anything. The temps are all manageable now just passing 225 hours TTSN. I can say with little hesitation that the stock Vans cowl with standard baffling is currently the proven best option for proper cooling, running LOP etc... I have been in relatively close contact with the nice folks at Showplanes. They are getting closer but not at production stage yet. Am I going to be a guinea pig twice? Hard to know but my long range plans are to replace the James cowl at some point. (yes John I remember you want it for testing...) Unless you are one that enjoys severe migraines and tinkering vs. flying, consider using stock cowl till there is a proven alternative. Robin

    That slot is pretty close to your gear leg. Sean said he moved his 2.5" forward of the leg or so, because the leg flexed forward under load, and he wanted it to not hit that filler plate. Do you find any evidence of hitting it? If you don't, then that's exactly what I'm hoping for....minimal gap between the leg and the cowl. And, if you really wanted it tighter, with a gap that tight, you could put a rubber flap seal around it too if you wanted. Just want to know if you've ever seen it hit.

    So is mine, but with my 2 bladed prop, I only have about a 3" gap and that works fine. But, I'm trying to seal up that 3" gap with a fairing or filler plate just like he did. The question is, what's the smallest gap you can have before the leg would hit the filler plate? Ideally, if you had no gap, you'd have no air getting in there.

    The material is thin - .026" as I recall - and not fastened to the cowl right at the gear leg. I have seen no evidence that the fairing has ever hit it but the filler piece can move away from the cowl if the gear leg fairing did hit it. I suppose one could even make the last inch or so of the filler piece out of baffle material but that might just move out of the way in the air blast and leave the gap open. Anyway, until my paint get scrubbed I'm happy with the close fit. Albert PS: I get more gear movement while taxiing than any other time.

    I bounced mine and figured 2.5 inches was minimum for not chipping paint on the fairings. Mine was built strictly for lower cowl removal.

    with no distance exclusion, EAA looks like your coverage extends to engine runs and ground taxi; implies in motion coverage; not builders risk insurance. usually builders risk is about 1% of stated value. flying risk is usually about 2% stated value depending on experience and ratings ----- Original Message ----- From: n801bh@netzero.com To: rv10-list@matronics.com Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2011 1:10 PM Subject: Re: RV10-List: Ground hull insurance which includes trailer transport with no distance exclusion, EAA WOW is right.................. do not archive Ben Haas N801BH www.haaspowerair.com ---------- Original Message ---------- From: John Gonzalez <indigoonlatigo@msn.com> To: RV 10 group <rv10-list@matronics.com> Subject: RV10-List: Ground hull insurance which includes trailer transport with no distance exclusion, EAA Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2011 09:20:01 -0700 Here is the qoute for this annual policy that covers the above.

    I too have thought of closing up the gap. To test it I closed it with 2 strips of Duct tape running front to back, so the gear leg could push it open if it needed to for movement. I couldn't tell any difference in my cooling. So I left it as it was.

    Subject: Re: Aircraft Spruce Shipping - Always Beware
    I've got a follow-up surprise on this shipping thing.... I didn't contact ACS at all. I have been too busy to even think about it. But just now, I got an email from Jim Irwin himself, letting me know that he checked into my shipping costs and had info. Apparently many products do have prompts that appear in shipping, to let them notify the customer before they would package in a way that costs us lots of money. Turns out the prompts on these fiberglass items were missing...otherwise they'd have called me first. So, they calculated what my shipping would have been, had it not shipped oversize, and only shipped standard, and they credited me back the difference....all without me even contacting them. They somehow saw my post here, and wanted to reach out and make it right. I think they did a fantastic job, so I'm pretty pleased. I've been buying from them for many years, even before I started building a plane, and they're one of the first places I check for aircraft things, because even though shipping is from Georgia at the closest, things go out the door quick and arrive quick. So, I'm glad that not only have they been good in the past, but they made this "bad" .... good. Thanks Jim, if you're reading this, you done well. Thought y'all might want to see that, because when a company does that, it shows some integrity. Tim Olson - RV-10 N104CD

    Please send the link - I have a SJ cowl on my 6A and really love it! Hearing the trials and tribulations of the -10 crowd makes me think twice about putting it on the -10 I'm contemplating!

    I would like to see it too. I am still tweaking the Plenum to work the cooling issues. That is, I would be if I ever get it back from paint. Week 10 and counting... ugh!

    Me too! Jim Irwin read my rant about the shipping cost of the "free shipping" battery, sent me a private email apologizing, and credited my account with the shipping I did pay. I've always used ACS for their large inventory and convenience; this is now another reason to use them!

    Subject: Re: Main gear weldment too small
    From: "woxofswa" <woxof@aol.com>
    John, We're not huge in MKE yet until the Airtran thing gets melded. I think going through LAS like you did last year is the best bet for us. Thanks for the kind words for the Cstate nest. Looking forward to a great turnout this year. Btw, knock on wood, but I didn't have any issues (yet) with the gear. Got her up proud on her feet and then realized how much easier some remaining composite work would be with her back on the dolly and took the legs back off for a while. Cheers, -------- Myron Nelson Mesa, AZ Emp completed, QB wings completed, legacy build fuse in mostly done, finishing kit in progress.
