    Speaking of which, I just went through my boxes of stuff and found that I have 2-4 full flap positioning systems that I will not be using. I will let them go for a good price (half of Van's price) plus shipping. do not archive Jesse Saint Saint Aviation, Inc. jesse@saintaviation.com C: 352-427-0285 F: 815-377-3694 On Dec 9, 2011, at 11:42 PM, Patrick Pulis wrote: > Could anyone tell me what flap positioning system they've used? > > Should I install the stock standard Vans flap positioner or alternatively the FPS-Plus Reflex unit from Aircraft Extras Inc.? > > Many thanks in anticipation. > > Pat > > >

    Subject: 500 hours with no ignition boost
    My RV-10 has been flying since 2007 with a factory new Lycoming IO-540 with Slick Mags. It always started well when cold, and was a little tricky to start when something other than cold (either some middle temperature or the classic hot start with fuel boiling in the injector lines). But is was all pretty workable until about 480 flight hours when it just would not fire up when flown just a few minutes to some middle engine temp between stone cold and very hot. Pulled both of the mags and got them rebuilt at 500 hrs as part of the annual condition inspection, and discovered something I guess I should have picked up on five hundred hours ago: neither mag on the Lyc IO-450 D4A5 has an impulse coupling in it, though both of them have the collar that caused both me and several A&P's to guess that I had not one, but two impulse couplings. And the left Slick mag has the extra stud on it for attaching a SlickStart unit. (Of course, there was never the distinctive 'clack' of an impulse coupling, but what did I know -- perhaps Slick had some new silent technology hidden in those mag collars.) Suffice it to say, my IO-540 now has a SlickStart that totally solved the starting problem, but I wonder how did this all fall through the cracks during the original build? Nowhere in Van's instructions from 2007 does it say that if you get a factory new IO-540 through them that you will also need to add a SlickStart to complete the firewall forward installation. I'm guessing I am not the only RV-10 builder to whom this mini-revelation might apply. So if you've got dual Slick mags on an engine you bought new through Van's, there is an additional ignition accessory you might or might not have known to add to your build. On the other hand, I did get a rather amazing 500 flight hours from a new IO-540 that was able to get going without any ignition boost. -Dan Masys

    You must have the fast turning lightweight starter and Odyssey pc925 battery like me. I wonder if your battery needs replacing. This would occur about now. I really like my slick start. It will jump a good 1/2" gap to ground when I tested mine. -------- Wayne Gillispie, A&amp;P 05/93 PP 10/08 Bldr# 40983SB Started 12/1/2009 N715WD Flying 12/1/2011. Paint 2012.

    I'll admit, I made the same mistake. I discovered it when I first drained the preservation oil and turned the prop over by hand, and said, "Where's the click?". Only then did I research the mags and find they had retard breakers but no impulse coupling (actually, just the left mag). So I bought the Slick start then. The paperwork from Vans is a little unclear; as I recall it says "Slick start recommended". No where did it mention that there were no impulse couplings, so that the Slick start was really required. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=360631#360631

    I used the show planes from Vans like Jessie is selling. Good deal if yoy choose that route. When it breaks it will be pulled out with a std flap switch put in place. I have the same problem as others with having to hit the down toggle position twice to go from 18 to 33 degrees flaps. Has to do with micro switches. It is just one more thing to go bad...more money/wire/weight. VP is a nice system unless it goes out then your grounded. I did not have the money for it anyway. I have learned with hvac systems that the more circuit boards you put on something the more expensive it is to fix and you better know your stuff to fix it yourself. One reason I do not sell 16 seer+ hvac systems. -------- Wayne Gillispie, A&amp;P 05/93 PP 10/08 Bldr# 40983SB Started 12/1/2009 N715WD Flying 12/1/2011. Paint 2012.

    Before I went with the VP-200, I was planning on that Aircraft Extras unit. Rich is great to work with and I have his fuel guardian unit and I'm about to get the LCD button to use as a warn for different alerts.

    I could not agree more with Wayne. Yesterday I spent the day at my buddies cold (freezing) hanger to help trouble shoot electrical issues on the Cozy MKIV we built. He went with a Blue Mountain power board that has been nothing but trouble,,,, and you really need to know that stuff when it fails. And yes,,,,you are grounded until fixed. The last time it failed it took an electronic engineer from Visteon who is a good friend to fix it! No Thanks. Not bashing VP at all. Its just not for me.

    Klaus as a personality is a dick to deal with, that's why I was the last person that Barrett put a lightspeed on. Ignoring Klaus's personality his product is well proven. P/E Mag had TONS of problems when they came out that are well documented. For every person that says they pulled their light speed there is probably 2-3 that pulled their p-mag. But that was then and they have improved their product greatly. Bottom line, do your research and base your decision on history and performance not just the guy selling it. There is no place to pull over at 10,000 feet.

    I've had a Slick mag and a Lightspeed Plasma ignition on my RV-10 since new with over 660 hours on it now. A coil went bad and needed to be replaced and just recently I added the panel meter that displays rpm/mp/advance and the meter was intermittent. Worked directly with Klaus both times and could not be more impressed with his support. The Lightspeed unit is great, works well, and has been very reliable. Can't say the same for the Slick mag.

    I agree completely with this. I just finished wiring an airframe with a VP-200. It took 2 days from start to finish.

    Subject: Re: RV-10 Flap Positioner
    Hi This is one topic that I can add a bit of perspective. I have just powered up the avionics on my -10 that uses a VP-X integrated with am AFS 4500 EFIS screens with the avionics backbone being provided by Approach Systems Fast Stack. No smoke and lots of pretty displays! All the wiring was done by me, myself and I. Although I have read everything on the VP-X etc, I was amazed at how simple the wiring was done. With Tim Hass's Fast Stack, I was left with wiring sensors, power lead, antennas etc. I started slowly as I was learning as I went but by the end I was pretty confident as to how things would turn out. There is still a lot of work involved in wiring - I was surprised about the amount of wire that goes to the tail. After seeing how the VP-X spins up on the EFIS, how easy it is to define circuits and how they operate, how the number of high energy wires being switched was reduced (all the VP-X switches are to ground), I can't imagine using a traditional bus bar for my avionics etc. It was beyond cool watching the avionics turn on, box by box, as I changed the VP-X configuration settings on the EFIS. With any system, it is wise to think about failure modse. I my case, if the VP-X fails I need only replace the box. Even if this happened in flight, my EFIS screens have internal backup batteries so it shouldn't be a huge issue. A final note, the support from Marc (VP) and Tim (Approach Systems) has been stellar. Both have been very helpful getting up a steep learning curve.

    You must be the one guy that got along with Klaus.... I sent him my flywheel to drill in the magnets, he drilled them in the wrong spot, and he blamed it on me?!?!? I didn't specify where they needed to be, he tells me?!?! Then he hangs up on me after he said it wasn't his problem?!?! Excuse me, I thought the guy who designed the system would know where they'd go, and if there was a question, I thought he'd ask.... I'm not sure how many times you have had your prop on and off, but it's no small task and thanks to Klaus it has been more than I'd like.... -Mike Kraus RV-10 61 hours Sent from my iPhone On Dec 10, 2011, at 4:40 PM, "Albert Gardner" <ibspud@roadrunner.com> wrote: > > I've had a Slick mag and a Lightspeed Plasma ignition on my RV-10 since new with over 660 hours on it now.

    Subject: Re: New electronic ignition
    I guess I am the second guy that has gotten along fine with Klaus. One minor problem with the crank sensor during the build was immediately corrected with no unpleasant issues. As a matter of fact, Klaus brought the new sensor to Sun n' Fun that year and delivered it to me in person. As most have noted, the performance of the Lightspeed has been flawless with 440 hours to date. I am not doubting the people who have had issues with him, (there have been plenty!) but my experience with Klaus has been fine. I don't know if you just have to catch him on a good day, or what.

    I have the baron mobile link using the USB adapter to my XM rcvr. The ipad recognizes the wireless "mobile link" and connects with the rcvr. The weather is downloaded every 5 minutes so it may take a few minutes before you actually get the weather display. It then refreshes every 5 minutes after. All the weather functions on Foreflight work in the air using the mobile link. Taping on an airport on the chart will bring up the airport page with the weather for that airport.
