OK Guys,
The traveling helicoil kit is ready to launch. Last chance for revisions.
1) Gary Specketer - kit (and bolts?)
2) Tom Hanaway - bolts (and kit?)
3) Bob Condrey - kit and bolts
4) Frank Dombroski - bolts (and kit?)
5) Albert - your check is in the mail and I'm from the FAA and I'm here to help
you!
I send this kit out with inserts, instructions, mailing labels for the next on
the list, and now the longer bolts for those who want them. The kit rents for
$5, the bolts are $0.80 apiece. Forget shipping charges, just send it on to
the next on the list (unless the package is damaged, just put the enclosed label
on top of your address and send it on). The last person will send it back
to me.
You can put a check in the package for me, mail me a check, or send it by PayPal
to my email address.
Let me know, if everybody wants bolts too, I'll send them along with the kit.
Or if others want in, now is the time to let me know.
Later, - Lew

My son had a similar thing happen on his first deployment to Iraq. While boarding
the charter DC-10 at Ft. Hood, carrying their M-16's, He called me on his cell
phone to laughingly tell me that TSA was efficiently confiscating pocket knives
as the troops boarded.
Kind of funny until you start thinking about the billions of $$ being poured down
this huge bureaucratic Homeland Security rat hole with questionable results.

Over several deployments I have faced similar situations. Even when the
Army has contracted the aircraft we were forced to pack all knives and even
cigarette lighters in our "check" bags. Of course the semi automatic
rifles, and light machine guns are OK. Oh, and a couple times we were told
to keep all rifles facing barrel down, you know towards all the hydraulic
hoses an important stuff under the floor.
Gotta love the government.

Ben,
I have the Microburst III's=EF=BB on my S-7S. They look good, are quite
bright, are light weight, draw very little power, and I eliminated the bi
g ol' strobe power supplies from my previous setup.
I like them a lot...

That=99s a good point to which I am unsure.
Their website is not the best and I cannot seem to find much in the way
of tech doc=99s. The Aveo embedded ones are probably the slickest
=9Clooking=9D ones out there but buying those w/tail strobe
is well over $1k compared to Whelen=99s $499 for all 3.
I=99m aware of the Kestrel products and ztronlabs.com alternatives
but was really wondering about Whelen=99s in particular.

Hey guys, I went out flying this weekend and had a strange rise in
oil psi. Ist, I have a BPE, IO-540. 222 hrs. I was at 4500 msl when I
glanced over to see my oil psi at 91 psi. Within a minute it jumped one
more psi and so on until it showed 99 psi. By this time I already
turned back for home, and had reduced power to see if that helped. That
didn't change anything. Once I landed, and was at taxi power, it showed
in the low 70's.
Anyone else ever see this? BTW, I have the GRT system, and I am on
my 3rd. fuel psi sender. Could this be the same problem, bad sender??

OK guys,
The insert kit AND bolts are on the way to 5 of you. Frank, the person after you
is Les in Canada and it is shipping in a USPS flat rate box, so I don't know
how that goes to Canada and back.
Mike and Tom, you wanted bolts only and I ran out. So I'll get some more and get
them out to you individually in a couple of days.

After much consideration, I've decided that on my pink canopy I don't
choose to remove that full radius, because of the implications to reducing
strength of the door post. I also did not want to do the huge amount of
build up and sanding that would be required to make the door sill uniform
enough for an even sealing edge with the door. So I will try the seal that
Alex D sells.

N215DW broke the surlies on Tuesday, 5/29 but I didn't tell Vans until 6/2 so I
don't think I am in the 400 quoted on the website.
Everything went per the book, flew great with no bad habits. Like Carl my temps
have been a little high. Cylinders 2,1, and 5 are the hottest but with care
I can keep them under 420 fairly easily. Oil temps stay below 200 which is not
bad since it has been hot here in TX already. It flies and handles great and
is a piece of cake to land (relative to my RV-6 taildragger). The fuel flow
takes my breath away.
I have 15 hours tach time on it now so I am changing the oil and knocking down
the dams on the #1 and #2 cylinders. I am also adding a cover on the inside of
the lower cowl to block the gap in the cowl above the gear leg. The 10 is much
noisier than my 6 and 175 knots probably has something to do with it. During
high power cruise I have been attempting to learn my G3X, GTN-650, and GX
A/P integrated operations. I am very impressed with it.
Plane is fairly stock. MT weight is 1630 and I did all of the avionics wiring
myself.

| Subject: | Door Gutter and McMaster Seals |
This is what I used from McMaster. Easy on and seals well. I put them on
the door, not the frame. I also used some semi ridged foam to fill in the
door hinge recess so that this seal just goes over it around the perimeter
of the door.

Subject: Re: RV10-List: Door Gutter and McMaster Seals
After much consideration, I've decided that on my pink canopy I don't choose
to remove that full radius, because of the implications to reducing strength
of the door post. I also did not want to do the huge amount of build up and
sanding that would be required to make the door sill uniform enough for an
even sealing edge with the door. So I will try the seal that Alex D sells.

Could anyone tell me where to get a copy of Les' document? I am at that

I've read Les' document on using McMaster Carr door seals. He trimmed off
the entire radius on the door gutter. I ordered the same 1/4 inch with 3/8

I have yet to trim off the full radius as he did, but it seems that if I do,
there will me no way the 3/8 inch bulb will be enough to actually touch and
seal against the door. Seems the gap between the gutter and the door would
be too large.

I've seen the GRT fuel pressure sender go bad and read real high.
I'd guess you have a bad sender.

Subject: RV10-List: high oil PSI.
Hey guys, I went out flying this weekend and had a strange rise in oil
psi. Ist, I have a BPE, IO-540. 222 hrs. I was at 4500 msl when I glanced
over to see my oil psi at 91 psi. Within a minute it jumped one more psi
and so on until it showed 99 psi. By this time I already turned back for
home, and had reduced power to see if that helped. That didn't change
anything. Once I landed, and was at taxi power, it showed in the low 70's.
Anyone else ever see this? BTW, I have the GRT system, and I am on my
3rd. fuel psi sender. Could this be the same problem, bad sender??

Congratulations Dave.
I am not too far behind. I have the fuselage painted with exception of the stripes,
soon it will be home and ready for final installation.
Sean, I can't believe you have flown that thing 200+ hours! How are your CHT's?
Did you modify your front dams at all?

welcome to the club.the VDO 360-003 is the same used on a certified Piper
product. The cost with the FAA PMA stamped exceeds $200. they are available
to the experimental machines for $28 from
<http://www.jegs.com/i/VDO/918/360-003/10002/-1>
http://www.jegs.com/i/VDO/918/360-003/10002/-1. The first lasted about $500
hours; the second gave intermittent high readings in about 25 hours.

Kelly,
Another option is a method that I borrowed from Dave Saylor IIRC.
It uses a EDPM rectangular seal 1/8" x 1/2" and mounts on the inner surface of
the door. It allows you to leave a significant portion of the gutter and is easy
to fit. With the doors closed, trim the gutter so there is 1/8" gap between
the door surface and the edge of the gutter; install seal, done.

Bill,
Not yet ;) My CHT highs were never a problem, I just wanted the CHT's a
little closer to each other. I have half dams from the get go and my #5 is
the hottest. I could give up 10 degrees on #1 for -10 on #5. My EGT's
(LOP) are usually within 15 and sometimes 20.....no GAMI's. I feel lucky
with the numbers but may try changing air dams some day. I really wish I
would have left my air dams full for the first 100 hours to see where they
settled after break-in.

>>trim the gutter so there is 1/8" gap<<
It turns out you don't even need 1/8". The seals compress to less than
1/16. I use a couple layers to build up any areas that are more than 1/8,
or you can use thicker material.
I posted a couple pictures to the list on 10/5/09.
