Were you just referenced in the latest Popular Mechanics? In the
article on air safety?
I also have to keep on Rhonda's good side. I bought a Barrett engine
"second hand" and they have been nothing more than great in answering my

I've been amazed at Bart's service so far. Whenever I've
had a question, I call and get an answer. When I've needed
some gaskets or seals, he just sends them without charge.
It's been above and beyond.

Scott,
That wasn't the case at OSH last year. I agree that both Aerosport and Barr
ett do great work. I looked at getting rebuilds from both of them. They we
re both several thousand more than Van's OSH deal. If you are cash strapped
, it's hard to beat Van's OSH special.
With Barrett and Mattituck unable to sell new kits, it makes you wonder how l
ong Aerosport will be able to do the same.

There is nothing wrong with a old, but in good shape, Narrow deck core.
They are hard to come by but once located by Barrett or other reputable
builder can be made to be very close to new specs.
I have no idea if Lycoming resolved the wide deck cracking issues they
were having, hopefully they have by now. Also older technology are
easier to replace (read less expensive) than the roller-tappets are..
A good engine builder can do wonders with anything given to them, in
some cases better than a new engine from Lycoming that I don=99t
think is even =9Crun in=9D before going out.
New isn=99t always better, reputation of a builder is everything.
You want new, if one can get the Thunderbolt for 2K more than Vans, do
that, If your cash strapped and want new, check out the Vans special at
OSH. If you want a good engine and don=99t care if it=99s
new or rebuilt, call the builders that have come recommended on this
list, you wont be disappointed either way.

FYI all engines from Lycoming and thunder are ran in a test cell. My
Overhauled engine for my old Cardinal thanks to Chevron was ran for 2
hours and a full report was with the engine. Thunder also runs all
engines I think for the same amount of time. And they will do an
extended run in, I do believe as requested by the purchaser for a cost I
am sure Avgas is way to expensive to do free.

You can provide a core, but it isn't a requirement. Naturally there is a price
difference on the two options.
Talk with Rhonda @ Barrett, she can explain the process. Although I end up buying
the Van's special, both Rhonda and Alan were extremely open and answered
any question that I had.

Here is my 2c worth. In 2009, i went with the Van's special, as the
default option. I wish I had known more about the Thunderbolt option. If
the cost really was only marginally more, I would have seriously
considered that route. However, i thought the difference was more along
the lines of a few thousand, esp. give the extra $1k with prop offer.
The Thunderbolt options vs factory seems to give you:
- more customization: AirFlow FI, dsesicant plugs (i had to find my
own), maybe custom colors, and maybe more hand-holding. clearly, the
Lycoming factory is setup to drop ship engines to the Cessna factory or
some other production facility.
- $200 for 5 hours. what a deal! Factory does a 1 hour test run, i
believe.
- I had to do more install work like the engine mount ears (took a
bit of work) and FI unit.
In '09, i did talk with Aerosport, esp. about a rebuild. However, the
main issue was the availability of cores. Their supply was up and down.
The early builders had their pick of cores, but supply quickly disappeared.

| Subject: | Rapco brake linings and discs now available |
As you know if you've read my write-ups, I've been
bugging Rapco for 4 or 5 years to start making the
66-112 brake linings for us so we have an alternate
price and supply. The Cleveland ones go in and out
of stock too often and the price is top dollar.
I got a set of the new Rapco linings and replaced
my discs at the same time since I scored one of
them on the first brake pad run....running the rivets
into the discs.
So here's a write-up with pictures of the new
discs.
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/maintenance/20110711/index.html
If you haven't seen the brake lining replacement write-up,
also follow the link to that one from within this page.

Guess I'll be looking at a NavWorx after all. Turns out AFS got weather working
in the last couple months. Sweet!
I'm doing something similar with the radio. I originally started with a slide
out receiver with a 7" screen that I picked up 5 or 6 years ago. It has a couple
of external boxes and a boat load of wires running between them. I recently
switched to a double DIN unit with no external boxes and a much cleaner install,
same size screen, and less than half what I paid for the original. I'll
be using a dock for my Sirius radio so I can move it between my truck/bike/
RV-10 and not have to pay the fees for three radios.

That's a Kenwood DNX-8120 Indash car entertainment system:
http://www.kenwoodusa.com/Car_Entertainment/2008_Car_Entertainment/DNX8120
I've got the Garmin GPS map up on the display in those pictures. Attached are
a few pictures of some of the other displays. The output on the display including
the Garmin GPS map is also shown on the 7" LCD screen in the pilot's headrest
that the passenger can see. There's also a review cam mounted at the top
of the display in the headrest to give me a check-six view of the passenger.
The Garmin GPS map display nice for passengers that aren't necessarily airplane
savvy. It also shows the altitude and ground speed. I like having the Garmin
map up front too as a cross reference to the GRT mapping. Also, the Garmin
shows Airport names instead of the dopey 4-letter IDs! :-)
On the Kenwood, I've got a 128GB and a 64GB USB thumb drives plugged in and they
contain my whole MP3 music library! It also has XM Radio, HD digital AM/FM,
and plays DVDs. The audio output is mixed through a PS Engineering 3000 intercom
and then into Bose X (upgraded to A20s) NR headphones. The audio is pretty
awesome. Very clear and easy to understand.
By the way, I just got the UPS shipping notification from NavWorx (7/12/2011) on
the ADS-B Transceiver so it took a little over a month from the order to the
shipping. FYI.

I've been amazed at Bart's service so far. Whenever I've had a question, I call

I got the afp injection on the vans osh special. It also was run for two hours.
It was almost $4k cheaper than the thunderbolt when I ordered mine last year.
Look me up at camp Scholler if you want more details. I suspect my tent will be
near where the old rv-10 hq used to be, or within a street or two.

I wish I had known more about the Thunderbolt option. If the cost really
was only marginally more, I would have seriously considered that route. However,
i thought the difference was more along the lines of a few thousand, esp.
give the extra $1k with prop offer.

Desser gave me a very nice deal on tires and tubes, buying their
standard recaps exchanged for worn out cores. I've had very good service
from their recaps here in Aridzona heat, much better than new tires.
IIRC the exchange price gave about $10 credit for each core.

I see Grove has a very simple nose wheel setup for the 10 with the ability
to upgrade the axel to prevent it from rotating and uses standard felt
seals, unlike the matco wheel.
Looks like I will go the matco route when I get there for nose gear.
