Not all units are or at least have been, field upgradeable. It may depend on which version they're at right now, of both hardware and software. They've worked hard to quickly add features as they found them useful. I requested GPS output a long time ago myself, too. It's great that they actually listen...the catch is, in adding features, they sometimes require adding things like additional serial line hardware and things like that, along with the code to utilize it. So I'm sure that has a lot to do with the delays. Nobody wants to ship anything out the door knowing that if they just wait a little longer it'll come with some new feature that will just be requested anyway. I'm not saying that's what's happening for sure, but I know that it probably has something to do with it. The boxes that people get today have much more capability than what I originally got. Regarding not posting the manuals and software on the website, I asked about this a while back in a phone call, and while I'm not going to go into the reasonings, I'd like to say that now that I know, I understand why for the time being. There will come a day when the manuals will be publicly downloadable...it's just not yet. The software I'm not sure of. In some cases it's maybe better that they don't just stick software out there that anyone can get....the customer may not be aware of the consequences that they'll face if they load it and don't understand what they may need to do differently. So at this stage of the game, I don't see this as anything too unusual. Just had a flight to Chicago yesterday, and the ADS-B traffic came in very handy. There are a lot of planes in the sky on a nice day...I'll say that. We had a few good alerts that were actually useful.

Ovaled out the holes a bit and then added an .063 doubler to adjust the fit. I should add that I used aluminum pin guides instead of the plastic factory standard ones. Adjustable fit ended up being important as the fit kept changing due to door seals, addition of safety latch, edge changes, etc. Just make sure that the pins go all the way through the doublers. I'm using McMaster-Carr seals and the door close pretty tight when the seals are new. After a few days it gets a lot easier.

Forwarded message: You may or may not be aware that the FAA has recently decided to make some changes to how they make available data downloads (charts, approach data, A/FD data, etc.): 1) There will now be a fee associated with downloading these previously free downloads 2) Private citizens will no longer be able to download directly from FAA at all, and will have be forced to pay a third party for access to the data Of these, #2 is the most disturbing to me personally. I feel that this data should be provided free as a public service in the interest of aviation safety. The availability of this data has been a large factor in bringing to market a whole new generation of flight planning and navigational tools (e.g., ForeFlight and the like), and I think that's a good thing. The White House website has a petition to ask the FAA to rethink this decision. The petition needs 22,085 signatures. It currently has 2,915, so we end users need to get vocal and let the Obama administration know what we think about this. Here's the petition. Please take a couple of minutes to go click the "Sign This Petition" button. The deadline is December 14, 2011. http://wh.gov/jCZ ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 01:24:10 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Budd Davisson's RV10 article in Sport Aviation From: "Bob Turner" Yes, Vans does publish (higher) speeds for partial flap extensions.

I believe you though. The thing that boggles my mind is, why would there be any limitation on going to zero degrees of flap. I can't imagine why it would matter if you are at 120 or 140 or 160 if you are at zero...it seems that going -3 is just a way to get speed benefit. If someone knows that answer, I'd love an education on that. Tim do not archive On 12/1/2011 3:37 PM, Scott Schmidt wrote: > The flap speeds are in the packet that comes with the finishing kit.

I presume the force goes up as the speed goes up. At 0 deg that force has to be held by the actuating rod. At -3 the flaps bump up against the aft spar, so the actuating rod doesn't carry that load anymore. e.g., the limitation is to prevent over-stressing the flap actuating mechanism.
