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.

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.

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.
