    Has anyone considered or fitted manual trim in an RV10 to eliminate any runaway trim issues, give infinite fine trim capability & just reduce electric complexity. [Rolling Eyes] Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=370655#370655

    Kelly, we used seals made by Abby at Flightline Interiors. They are custom made to match the interior colors, in our case she made them from light grey material. They look great, match, and work.we also attached them to the door just a bit differently. We had Velcro sewn to the back of the seal, then attached Velcro to the door. This way we could adjust the seal as required, that has proven to work fine (370 hours). No pictures handy,sorry - Jason -------- Jason Kreidler 4 Partner Build - Sheboygan Falls, WI Tony Kolar, Kyle Hokel, Wayne Elser, Jason Kreidler N44YH - Flying - #40617 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=370658#370658

    Subject: Re: Manual Trim
    Hey Greg, I just ran across the manual elevator trim option last week while I'm on this detour helping guys build RV-8's. I was amazed at how simple it was. I asked if anyone had tried it on the RV-10. He didn't know, but our guess is that the -8 uses only one tab and it's a small one vs. the -10's two tabs. I never have liked the idea of funky cams and twisted tail effect on the -10, but with the correct alignment it works OK. If you'd like, I can track down the hardware for the manual -8 ... perhaps there is an adaptor to split the cable for the two tabs, or you could be the inventor/experimenter.

    Thanks Lew, I was thinking more along the lines of keeping the "funky" cam and just replacing the servo with a "normal" Vans manual type cable set up. [Rolling Eyes] Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=370660#370660

    All, I need to finish the wheel pants - and the top and bottom intersection fairing from Van's are so bad that I either need to spend a lot of time reworking them or buy replacements. I note that Cleaveland tool sells these fairings: http://www.cleavelandtoolstore.com/prodinfo.asp?number=RV10IF4 They look to be the same product as: http://rvbits.mybigcommerce.com/products/RV10-INTERSECTION-FAIRINGS.html I also heard the fairings Van's is now sending out are better. Recommendations? Carl First engine start tomorrow..

    I installed a pitch trim enable push button next to my panel mounted rocker. No relays, trim speed controllers and definitely no runaways. KISS. One would have severe cramping in your arm if you had to fly very far. Yes it is sensitive at cruise...just don't tap the rocker long. Once trimmed close at cruise my AP takes care of it and will let me know if I need to retrim. I love the setup, cost and will even more when it breaks. -------- Wayne Gillispie, A&amp;P 05/93 PP 10/08 40983SB 12/1/2009-12/1/2011 N715WD 382nd Flying.

    Subject: Re: ADSB In Coverage
    My understanding is that the weather is strictly a broadcast, with no response requirement from the ADS-B box in the plane. To get traffic, I have heard that some stations somehow require a response via ADS-B Out, but I don't know how they work that. I'm not an authority on the subject, but I thought I would share my understanding since there were no other responses yet. do not archive Jesse Saint Saint Aviation, Inc. jesse@saintaviation.com C: 352-427-0285 F: 815-377-3694 On Apr 13, 2012, at 9:51 AM, Barry Marz wrote: > I am trying to determine if the ADSB In only receivers will get the weather info from a broadcast tower all the time.

    Subject: Re: Manual Trim
    From: "Bob Turner" <bobturner@alum.rpi.edu>
    If you have a Trio autopilot with auto trim, not only does it trim when you use the autopilot; you can also use the trim function when hand-flying the aircraft. And, it is programable to run fast at low airspeeds, slow at high airspeeds. I use it all the time in cruise when hand-flying, for fine adjustments to the trim. Also, it is a workaround against a stuck trim "hat" switch. (pull trim CB, you can still trim thru the autopilot). Negative side, if the trim runs away, you need to pull both the trim and the autopilot CB's and then trouble-shoot where the problem is. For this reason I have those breakers side by side, directly in front of me. Of course it is still electrical; if the motors, wires to the motors, or battery fails, there's no trim. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=370723#370723

    My understanding is that Jesse is correct. Weather is just broadcast. The ground station only sends out traffic that is near aircraft that it knows are listening. And it know they're listening only if they're sending an ADS-B signal out. If it knows about no aircraft listening, no traffic is sent. If another aircraft is near you AND that aircraft is sending out the ADS-B out signal, then the ground station will send out traffic that it knows about around that airplane, and you may get that information even though you're just listening. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=370726#370726

    Subject: Re: Manual Trim
    I've found the easiest way to trim for any climb, descent or for level flight is to simply engage the TT AP. If I want to hand fly at that point (??), I just disconnect the TT and there we are. With that said, trimming "manually" with the trim button could hardly be easier.

    Subject: Fitting Fairings to the Fuselage, how I do it......
    From: Michael Kraus <n223rv@wolflakeairport.net>
    I am resending this as there have been a lot of talk about fuselage intersection fairings..... Do not use filler to fit the fairings, use filler to fill the pin holes and minor imperfections.... I hope this helps...... ------ Forwarded Message From: Michael Kraus <n223rv@wolflakeairport.net> "rv-list@matronics.com" <rv-list@matronics.com> Conversation: Fitting Fairing to the Fuselage, how I do it...... Subject: Fitting Fairing to the Fuselage, how I do it...... Here is a better description of how I fit my fairings..... Can be used for the gear leg to fuse, gear leg to wheel pant, or rear empennage intersection fairing. * Rough cut and dry fit up fairing to airplane. Drill #30 holes in locations where screws will eventually hold fairing to fuselage. When satisfied with the fit, draw a marker line on the fuselage around perimeter of fairing. Remove fairing. * Use mold release (I use the car wax stuff from Aircraft Spruce) and wipe it all over the fuselage about 2-4=B2 or more around both sides of the line you drew. DO NOT FORGET TO DO THIS STEP OR YOU WILL VERY UNHAPPY!! * Scuff up inside of fairing with 36-40 grit sandpaper on all surfaces wher e they will come into contact with the fuselage. * Clean fairings real good with acetone or similar to remove any dust/dirt/residue/mold release, etc * Work on one side of one fairing at a time (for instance, if you are working on the upper fuselage to gear leg intersection fairing, work on the fuselage to fairing interface first. Second time around work on the fairin g to gear leg interface). Lay up 2-3 layers of approximately 9 oz cloth on the fuselage over the line drawn in step 1. * Mix up flox and epoxy to a peanut butter consistency and apply about 1/16=B2-1/8=B2 onto the fairing surface that mates to the fuselage. This will help fill any gaps that may be present due to poorly formed fairings. * Mash the fairing onto the fuselage in position. Use cleco=B9s/clamps/screws/whatever you desire to hold it in place exactly where you want it until dry. * * Once dry, use compressed air to blow it free from the fuselage. Its amazing how well the compressed air works. Just get a little spot to break free, then blow air in the spot and the whole thing will pop off pretty easily. * Clean the fuselage up with a plastic scraper and acetone and clean real well. * Trim the fairing edge as desired to get a smooth edge. * * Repeat the process for the other side of the same fairing. For this example, that would be the upper gear leg to fairing surface (or the lower line as described above). DON=B9T FORGET THE MOLD RELEASE ON THE SURFACE YOU DON=B9T WANT IT BONDED TOO! * * Once complete, fill and sand, and fill, and sand, and fill, and sand unti l it is smooth to your satisfaction. For the rear empannage intersection fairing, I followed the same process, but layed up the HS to fairing surface first, then the VS to fairing surfac e second. I hope this is not too confusing. It is actually quite easy, just takes time.....especially in the Michigan winters when even fast drying epoxy takes 2 days to cure! -Mike Kraus RV-4 Flying and Sold RV-10 Flying ------ End of Forwarded Message
