Pried,
I have seen where the top of the master cylinder
gets grit/dirt in the
depression on top where it can get down along the
shaft and ruin the seal.
There is no boot on this set-up to keep dirt away
from the piston/shaft.

Tim, you are probably right, the hovering was not a huge risk.- None the
less, I have never attempted it myself.- Thinking back, that same instruc
tor used to have me practise precautionary approaches into farmer's field's
and we would let the main wheels touch down, and bouncy a bit before we'd
lift off again.- I guess in a way it was good experience for me.- Never
have had to actually need that experience though.- I wonder if that inst
ructor was a bit of a "cowboy"?--

It's from Russia. -I originally found it from Flying Magazine.
Regarding the "stunt" with the instructor....I don't really think it's a hu
ge risky endeavor. -After all, your ground speed is minimal, so really ot
her than gusts it shouldn't be a big danger. -I've landed in 30+kt steady
winds and it is fine if it's not too much of a crosswind or gusty...just f
eels slow.
Now that said, I think the dangerous part would be the taxi back to the han
gar....so I don't think I'll ever hover the RV10....I'd rather not fly in w
inds with 50+ kts on the ground. -If I could take off and land in 20kts a
nd hover at some other airport at 20ft @ 50kts, sure, I'd love to give that
a go. -It's just a river of moving air, and airplanes only know airspeed
.....same as flying with 70kt tailwinds doesn't make the airplane different
. -I've had some great trip times with high tailwinds. -(and flew the r
v10 like a cessna with 50+ kt headwinds.

Take another look at that video.- Any large wind would just roll the plan
e back, not make it fly.- I think this video is in the same class as the
'missing wing' video .... both are model airplanes.- Doesn't look like an
N# on the fuselage side either.

Phil, I remember the flight instructor I did most of my primary training wi

Agreed.- I always thought that was a dumb idea.
I used to get in the sim and set the wind speed dead on the nose at a stead
y couple of knots above stalling speed.--
Back on the stick and you're up.
Back further on the stick and you're up and going backwards.
Then forward on the stick and you're decending and picking up enough speed
to creep forward to your original takeoff point.
Fun exercise in the sim.- I don't think it would be nearly as much fun wi
th the turbulence and unpredictable winds in real life.

After Sun-N-Fun, I read some things about proper methods of
tying down that made some real sense. -Later, I also wrote
some things too, to pass along the word.
One disturbing thing I see at OSH and other places when I
see RV's tied down, is that many builders simply strap their
stick back with the seatbelt to secure the stick, locking
the ailerons and elevators.
Here's a video that shows exactly why that's a dumb idea.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-wjtP90d_g
If the above link doesn't work, go to youtube and search for
"Accidental VTOL Takeoff" posted by "MessedUpShet".
On my site, I show my rudder gust lock, with a strap
that holds the stick in the neutral position (both
axis) when I use the seat belt to pull the stick back.
That should help prevent such a thing to some degree.
Another thing that can cause you problems is having the
flaps left down. -If you have problems keeping people
from stepping on your flaps, then great, put them down
when boarding and disembarking the plane. -But, once
you're ready to leave the plane, put them up, because
in a wind storm, the flaps will work as designed...
They'll create extra drag, to allow the wind to push
your plane harder against it's tiedowns, and by trapping
the air under the wing it can add more lift.
Just some common sense things to pass along regarding
tying down...but the video was a real eye opener for me.
