| Subject: | Airframe measurements |
I'm in the process of planning a conventional gear RV 10, and I was hoping
y'all could find me some measurements.
1 Wing LE to Firewall
2 Wing LE to end of the Tail
3 tail to ground in level flight attitude

Thanks to some much needed ribbing from Bob Condrey, after 5+ years of
flying, I finally installed the wheel pants. I've been putting it off so
long, I started to develop a fear of the job. someone told me it was worse
than doing the doors (which I consider the most painful job of the whole
project). the wheel pants weren't that bad, but still not much fun in a
sub-freezing hangar.
I flew the plane yesterday and what a difference! I had 125 KIAS off the
runway before I realized I needed to raise the nose a bit higher than I'm
used to. I managed to climb easily at 115 KIAS (this would almost zero out
my climb rate with no wheel pants). I leveled at 9500 MSL and trimmed out to
166 KTAS, lean of peak at 10 GPH. I then turned West and (literally) popped
up to 10500 MSL, where the plane trimmed to 165. That is a 15 to 16 knot
gain in true cruising speed.
The plane also felt smoother and quieter.
I'll see if this has helped fix my engine cooling problems as the weather
warms up, but from a qualitative point of view the wheel pants seems to make
a big difference in CHT and oil temps in climb.

Not sure "ribbing" would be the right word, maybe just strong encouragement...
Glad you got it done - it really is hard to believe how much of a difference it
makes!

As a "newbie," I've been told that the doors are really tough, as is the in
strument installation.
I was hoping someone would tell me it gets easier after the elevators, but
I'm guessing that won't happen!

The pants add the extra speed you mentioned and drag reduction. I can tell y
ou from recent SoCal temps that yes the CHT WILL go down as the engine gets m
ore air but also less resistance.

"As a "newbie," I've been told that the doors are really tough, as is the instrument
installation. "
It's all in the eye of the beholder. Most -10 builders are "metal guys" so the
other stuff seems harder. I've spent my life in and around electronics so I thought
the avionics was absolutely straightforward. The key, as with most things,
is to spend 3 times as much time thinking about it as doing it!

Brought it home yesterday with fresh paint.
It is as fast as it looks!
Safe and sound in the hanger now at KUES.

ut my climb rate with no wheel pants). I leveled at 9500 MSL and trimmed out
to 166 KTAS, lean of peak at 10 GPH. I then turned West and (literally) pop
ped up to 10500 MSL, where the plane trimmed to 165. That is a 15 to 16 knot
gain in true cruising speed.

weather warms up, but from a qualitative point of view the wheel pants seem
s to make a big difference in CHT and oil temps in climb.
