| Subject: | RV10 Training in Calif |
I just completed RV10 transition training with Bob Turner in his RV10; he is located
at the Livermore CA airport in the SF Bay area. If you are located in this
part of the country and will need RV10 training, I highly recommend that you
contact Bob (bobturner@alum.rpi.edu). He has been flying and instructing for
many years (CFII), is comfortable to fly with and quite knowledgeable about
things airplane. And since he recently retired from Lawrence Livermore Labs
(physicist), his schedule is flexible. Let Bob know if you might be interested;
I think he is investigating future RV10 training insurance options.

Hi Guys, I see that Vans wants you to seal the F-1001K stainles recess with
pro seal..Did anyone use some other type of high temp sealant for this
purpose. Seems to me even hi temp RTV would be beter than pro seal?
Comments??
Thx, Rick

I used some extra biotherm I had left over from buying the firewall
pass-throughs found here...

I've been looking for a local source for the biotherm 100, but have yet
to find it.

I prefer the high temp RTV personally. I don't like any pro seal in the
engine compartment. Some people have done tests on the pro seal with
high heat and it didn't react well, IIRC. I use black high-temp RTV to
seal the firewall and all other things in the engine compartment.

Rick,* the area in question deserves the best sealant possible*. RTV is a
cheap and easy solution that does NOT meet the challenge. I installed a
product Desoto Proseal CS-1900 which was a fiberous proseal type
"fire-retandant" sealant with the manufacturers endorsement of higher
temperature. *When your fire annunciator system fails*. * When Your Fire
Suppression system fails*, *your only recourse is to think of Bob Hoover
and pray*. *Dont use RTV*. Time from point of crisis awareness to
remediation is the longest period in your life. FLY the damn aircraft to a
safe landing point.
Fly the aircraft to the accident site and insure that all POBs are safely
away. From the moment of acknowledgement of a fire to the moment of
safety, your actions speak volumes on your instruction and skill as a pilot.
I lost a friend leaving OSH a few years ago that failed to heed those words
in his Lancair Legacy 2000. Thought he could be a HERO.
"From the moment of acknowledgement to the moment of reflection on your
actions , a great pilot knows the aircraft instantly belongs to the
insurance company. Your responsibility is to your passengers, your family
and your brothers-in-arms who love flying after your memorial service.
"Dan Lloyd, I still miss you and pray I follow the wiser choice and don't
place human life on a $ savings on RTV.". CHOOSE WISELY, FLY OFTEN, THINK
ABOUT THOSE WHO WILL FOLLOW.
You guys slay me occasionally on the decision process you follow! DAMN I AM
GETTING OLD.
