I don't have a problem with people protecting themselves from wild animals
if they have a licence for the gun and
a reason to have the gun. If I was going bush in Alaska for days on end I
would probably want a gun as well! I would not
live off the native wildlife as a matter of choice but I can see where you
may have too!

The reason for a firearm in Alaska has nothing to do with protecting rights
(well, maybe a little). It is all about having something to protect yourself
from a bear that likes the smell of food in your plane, and the ability to
supplement your diet for the weeks you may wait for search and rescue to
locate and reach your unintended landing location.

That's a fairly common statement from a lot of people. I have the same
concern but the likely hood of it happening is very remote!
Trayvon was 17 years old and obviously not real smart since he took a walk
through a Gated community full of people that were concerned with holding
onto their
Worldly possessions and paranoid as well! Otherwise they would not have
been living in a gated community in the first place.
If someone jumps on you without identifying themselves to you, and whom is
obviously not a police officer why would you not resist them?
Also
The autopsy report stated he was 5 feet, 11 inches and weighed 158 pounds.
And I prefer to leave the bible out of things because it too often is used
to justify illogical behavior.

One point I have read is that for ideal air cooling, (high flow, low
drag), the bottom of the firewall should be well rounded - rather than
leaving the firewall flange sticking forward into the airflow. I have
only found one inconclusive reference to this idea in the RV-10 archive,
but some discussion of it in reference to RV.6 on VAF and a great photo:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/241/outletrampcb0.jpg/
It would seem fairly simple to attach a curved fairing while riveting
the firewall flange. Has anyone tried this on the -10 and got some
numbers to prove or disprove the theory?

A world without violence would be great but until that time I will "speak
softly and carry a big stick". I prefer to wait for the trial facts in
Florida as our media has an agenda. For example, they have virtually ignored
the attack by a mob of Trayvons on a family at the Wisconsin State Fair
before the media hype of the Florida incident and afterwards virtually
ignored another similar mob attack on two of their own (reporters) in
Virginia. Several other attacks have barely made any news here so would
probably not even be reported in OZ. You won't see it in our media but
Google the city of "de trois" sometime. Look at the pictures and determine
whether you would go there armed or unarmed or at all.
Lest you think I am one of the isolated Americans, I traveled widely in
Europe and Asia and worked and lived for 16 years in the Middle East. But
for the US this communication would probably be in German or Japanese. If
you like, we can take the discussion off the list since this hardly touches
our RV10s. IIRC your comment changed this thread from flying to Alaska.to
our culture.

RE #4:
"4. Im on my second round of mounting the wheel pants and leg
fairings. They make a huge speed difference but they are a pain to get
right. First flight today the ball was in the center but favoring the
right side. Second flight (no changes to the pants or fairings) the
ball was in the center but favoring the left side. Go figure. With the
pants and fairing off the ball is dead center. "
I've found that a jab of the rudder pedal one way or the other
will often leave it settled in at a new trim point. I've also
had happen to me, and others have as well, the nosewheel doesn't
trail perfectly straight. Some of this will likely affect
your ability to get the ball to center all of the time. I'm
guessing that with the nosewheel tightened up well so that it
doesn't shimmy, it has some stiction that keeps it in trail
at whatever angle, so the stab of the rudder pedal may or may not
shift the nosewheel to a new stiction point. At any rate, having
rudder trim makes it easy to trim out, but I definitely don't
ALWAYS have the same neutral rudder trim position.

My experience is the same. It could be that aerodynamically the 26 lbs of force
to pivot the nose wheel side to side is just the right amount to avoid a shimmy
but keep the nose wheel in perfect trail while cruising. In practice, I think
it's almost impossible to get the 26 lbs required, and certainly is impossible
to keep it. I usually tighten to the flat (with the cotter pin hole lined
up) that provides a fair amount of pivot drag, but never measure the force any
more.
Also, when I am trimming the rudder, I trim a little, then tap on that pedal to
see where the ball settles.
I never pay attention to the position of my rudder trim tab. It isn't big enough
to cause a dangerous situation if it is way out of trim at takeoff. The same
goes for my aileron trim, since neither of them have a position sensor, although
I can see the aileron trim tab in flight and it usually is only less than
10% out of trail to keep things flying level. The elevator trim is definitely
big enough to cause a problem if it's way out, so I always trim that to a little
bit nose down of center for takeoff, then I adjust for climb based on how I
am loaded and how I need to climb for CHT's and Oil Temp.

They make a huge speed difference but they are a pain to get right. First flight
today the ball was in the center but favoring the right side. Second flight
(no changes to the pants or fairings) the ball was in the center but favoring
the left side. Go figure. With the pants and fairing off the ball is dead
center. "

I know it is difficult for those in other cultures to comprehend, but
the US does not require a license to own or carry a gun, unless you
want to carry it concealed. While guns in recent years are registered
when purchased from a dealer, there is no accounting for guns that
existed from around 50 or more years ago, and no tracking of private
sales of guns. We have this little artifact of history, that guns
enabled our country to escape from a tyrannical (perhaps alleged)
king. So a right was established in our constitution allowing us to
own and bear arms. Which means that we can mount a gun rack in or
outside our RV-10s if that is our desire. But such modifications slow
down the build process. ;-)

I agree with the use of common sense. On the other hand, why would you
see a need to have a permit system to allow open (unconcealed) carry?
Concealed carry, sure, but why when everyone can see your weapon and
whether you are pointing it appropriately at the ground or not. Plenty
of laws about inappropriate handling of guns already.

Opinion:
Seems right clear to me. I don't see a caveat for mode of carry.
Further, no reference to permits or certification that I can find - in
fact, "shall not be infringed" seems to expressly forbid those
restrictions.

I know it is difficult for those in other cultures to comprehend, but the US
does not require a license to own or carry a gun, unless you want to carry
it concealed. While guns in recent years are registered when purchased from
a dealer, there is no accounting for guns that existed from around 50 or

Thanks Deems. I was beginning to think I had inadvertently logged on to something
other than an RV-10 forum. :?
BTW, did you see my info on VAF about the leaking Newton fuel caps? It seems that
I've found the fix. New o ring for the center shaft of the cap mechanism. This
requires taking the cap apart, and unless you have, or can fashion, a tool
to get the red piece off without damaging it, will also require a new red piece.
Contact Robin Voice at Newton SPRL http://www.newtonsprl.co.uk/index.html and he will send you the parts. He is going to be at Oshkosh next month and will bring some parts with him, if you are planning to attend.

I pushed a scout car around the City of Southfield MI for 28 years and am a firm
believer and promoter of our Second Amendment Rights. Those that don't like
this right are free to move to China or any other country that does not allow
its "citizens" to arm themselves. That being said, I do plan on keeping a survival
type light weight rifle in the baggage compartment of my RV-10. If I survive
the crash in a remote area, I want to be able to defend and feed myself. God

Just to be clear, Trio is recommending you put a washer and cotter pin (hole already
exists) onto the end of the servo shaft, so that should the arm come loose
it won't fall off its shaft, land somewhere and possibly jam.
Even though it wasn't in the instructions, I though this was so obvious that I
did it during initial installation.

Yep we have idiots here as well, actually I'm beginning to think slightly
more per capita than you guys.
There is certainly no mistaking the contribution of the US in the Pacific
and Europe, which being keenly interested in the history of both world wars,
I always
Point out to young people.
In the US the raw stats show that violent crimes are split roughly even
between assaults with and without weapons and if a weapon is used it usually
involves
a gun. If you look at countries that have non existent gun control the
numbers go up dramatically.
If you look at countries that have very tight gun control the Stats reflect
a lot lower violent crime rate. Interestingly the USA's crime rate is
around twice
That of Australia and Australia has no reason to be proud either.
As for culture I believe it is non existent here in Australia. Yep I agree
about getting back to RV10s.

A world without violence would be great but until that time I will "speak
softly and carry a big stick". I prefer to wait for the trial facts in
Florida as our media has an agenda. For example, they have virtually ignored
the attack by a mob of Trayvons on a family at the Wisconsin State Fair
before the media hype of the Florida incident and afterwards virtually
ignored another similar mob attack on two of their own (reporters) in
Virginia. Several other attacks have barely made any news here so would
probably not even be reported in OZ. You won't see it in our media but
Google the city of "de trois" sometime. Look at the pictures and determine
whether you would go there armed or unarmed or at all.
Lest you think I am one of the isolated Americans, I traveled widely in
Europe and Asia and worked and lived for 16 years in the Middle East. But
for the US this communication would probably be in German or Japanese. If
you like, we can take the discussion off the list since this hardly touches
our RV10s. IIRC your comment changed this thread from flying to Alaska.to
our culture.

That's a fairly common statement from a lot of people. I have the same
concern but the likely hood of it happening is very remote!
Trayvon was 17 years old and obviously not real smart since he took a walk
through a Gated community full of people that were concerned with holding
onto their
Worldly possessions and paranoid as well! Otherwise they would not have
been living in a gated community in the first place.
If someone jumps on you without identifying themselves to you, and whom is
obviously not a police officer why would you not resist them?
Also
The autopsy report stated he was 5 feet, 11 inches and weighed 158 pounds.
And I prefer to leave the bible out of things because it too often is used
to justify illogical behavior.

I am 68; too young to die and too old to survive a beating. I would not
survive in a conflict with the Trayvons of the world (18, 6' 2" and a

Um I don't know where this is going but from an outsider looking in we here
in Australia are always amazed to see the The willingness of people in the
US to resort a gun to protect their rights.
If you have a look a the stats for the rest of The world it puts the US on
par with a lot of countries one would not normally associate the USA with?
I don't believe that Australia can claim any moral higher ground either. I
think we should all look to a country like Japan Where to use a gun in a
crime will result in a min 1 to 10 year jail term and hand guns and any
automatic guns are just not allowed.
My 2 cents worth :)

I know it is difficult for those in other cultures to comprehend, but the US
does not require a license to own or carry a gun, unless you want to carry
it concealed. While guns in recent years are registered when purchased from
a dealer, there is no accounting for guns that existed from around 50 or
more years ago, and no tracking of private sales of guns. We have this
little artifact of history, that guns enabled our country to escape from a
tyrannical (perhaps alleged) king. So a right was established in our
constitution allowing us to own and bear arms. Which means that we can mount
a gun rack in or outside our RV-10s if that is our desire. But such
modifications slow down the build process. ;-)

Not sure why my first attempt didn't go thru. Trying again...
In my case, i thought it was a nosewheel shimmy when it was a mainwheel shimmy.
I did all the normal things to the nosewheel to fix the issue. Adding balance
weights even affected the speed range of the shimmy which seemed to confirm it
was a nosewheel issue.
I finally got around to video-taping the undercarriage. To my surprise, i have
a main wheel shimmy and not a nosewheel issue. It happens in a 5 knot speed range,
so i can either accelerate or brake quickly thru the speed range to minimize
the discomfort.
http://youtu.be/lBi6RdOS2Cw
This is the only video i have uploaded. It occurs around the 7:08 mark.
Thus, now I have to go thru all the same steps to try and fix the issue on the
mainwheel this time.

Hey Jae,
Now that's an awesome video! I've gone over the shimmy at 7:08 several
times (I'm sure you've replayed it much more) and it looks like the strut is
stable but the pants shimmy? Just can't see it in the strut? Anyway, I
enjoyed the video and will wait for the solution.

Mine turned out to be a right main gear shimmy as well. I identified it with a

I have been doing the same as Jesse for the last couple of years. I have
had it as tight as 45 lbs with no adverse ground steering issues. I also
agree with Tim's comments concerning the nose wheel alignment. My wheel
pants come on and off more than most because I usually remove them when
I am doing transition training. Every time I put them back on, the
rudder trim is a tad bit different. As Jesse notes, I trim the rudder
and then give the pedal a little tap and see where the ball really
settles.
