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.

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?

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??

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.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "bill.peyton" Sent: Monday, June 04, 2012 8:12 PM Subject: RV10-List: Re: #401 > > Congratulations Dave. > > I am not too far behind.

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.
