| Subject: | Elevator in trail |
Just short of 30 hours on N7ZK. Attached photo is of the elevator horn in
level flight. As you can see, the elevator trailing edge is slightly down.
This implies the HS is creating too much downward force and the elevator is
adding upward force to compensate. The question for the group is would it
be worthwhile to add a shim under the forward HS spar - say .040" or so to
correct for this, or is it close enough? This is solo, so any weight in the
back would, I assume, make the issue more pronounced.

That is perfectly normal. Looks identical to mine in cruise. Not an
aeronautical engineer, but i believe the CG moves aft as speed
increases. Also, i think it's designed that way for greater efficiency,
as there is less downforce on the HS creating a greater net lifting
force of the plane overall.

Thank you. I'm happy to do it.
Currently I am in Detroit an making my way back to Houston. I'll get an update
out to the group but I had a good week of meetings both with senior EAA leaders
and with those supporting the Members 4 Members movement.
I learned a few things and confirmed a few things.
The good news is that we accomplished everything we wanted to do this year and
actually surpassed some of our other goals.
Know that we aren't done, but we are just getting started. There is a lot of work
ahead and we need all the assistance we can get in getting the message out
to the membership community.
More to follow once I get back to Houston and don't have to type on a cell phone.
Have a safe trip everyone,

I'd urge caution. If you reduce the downward force the tail can generate you might
find yourself landing nose wheel first, especially at forward cg.

Hey, you guys from the KUES/KMWC/02C area in SouthEast Wisconsin
don't happen to have any good connections down there so I'd
be able to get a courtesy car for maybe 4 hours or so Monday
night, do you? I have an Aunt who died and if I can get some
ground transportation lined up, I'd like to come down there
Monday night quick for the wake. Not 100% sure I'll make
it yet, but I'd like to, if I can. The visitation time would
be 4-7pm, so I'd have to skip out of work and head down.
It's here: W173 S7629 Westwood Drive, Muskego

I have to wonder if all the empty space in C hangar and the influx of trinket

| Subject: | Beringer Nose Wheel-RV10 |
Hi all
I'm getting ready to order the finish kit and had a really good look at the
Beringer nose wheel for the RV10 last week and came away quite impressed.
The price as listed in Beringer's catalogue seems kind of high ($649), but
I see Vans "list" has a Beringer nose assembly for $475 (the standard nose
wheel is about $300). Has anyone installed the Beringer nose wheel from
Vans?
At $475 I might "jump" at the Bernger wheel, at $649 probably not. The
other factor is I have no experience with a tube less aircraft tire.
Any/all opinions welcome.
Regards,
Rick

I think the question is what does the more expensive wheel do over the
stock wheel? Is that worth the extra money when it will hide inside the
wheel pants? I'm finding even the 300 unbelievable, as the stock
(incorrect) Matco wheel a couple years ago was $130, the correct Matco
wheel was the same price.

Hi
When I was at KOSH I spoke to a Matco rep about the "incorrect" nosehweel
that Vans sells for the -10. The problem is that the valve stem / cap is to
close to (or impacts) the forks when the tube is installed. I thought the
only option was to get a replacement half from Matco but that is not the
case.
Apperently, according to the rep, if you drill an exit hole for the valve
stem in the opposite half (from the side that does have the hole, the stem
will come out correctly. You will also have to replicate / enlarge the "U"
shaped hole on the interior of the wheel to accommodate the nut that
protects the valve stem as it passes into the interior of the wheel. Lastly,
you need to fill the original valve stem hole hole.
This is a very simple fix that took only a couple of hours to do.
Cheers
Les

Kelly, don't quote me on that price($300). I looked at the plans and tried
to figure out what parts are required. That price was for
wheel/tire/tube/spacers etc, essentially what the Beringer kit included.
Yes you're right, is the price worth it for something hidden in the pant?
Certainly the valve stem striking the fork issue is solved with the
Beringer. I'm not ordering my finish kit for another month or 2 so I will
give this some thought (and the remainder of the finish kit list for that
matter).
Thx, Rick

I just deleted the nose wheel and tires from my finish kit. Ordered
correct nosewheel and axle & spacers from Matco. That solves both the
tube problem and the nose fork wear problem. Maybe cost me $150 minus
whatever credit I got for the deletion. Yes the Beringer is very
attractive..but I don't think it does anything for performance. Maybe
stronger, but is it needed? Then ordered tires and tubes I wanted from
Desser. Got what I wanted and cost no more than the McCreary's Van's
supplies.

I don't have one in front of me, but I seem to recall seeing ad pictures of the
yellow RV10 demonstrator in magazines wherein you see a bunch of the elevator
counterweight protruding up. I always thought that was odd.

Well, most every Mooney I have flown in has a more pronounced elevator
displacement during cruise. I don't think you are going to get
perfection on angle of incidence to the point you get rid of elevator
displacement. Maybe could be done for one specific wt and cruise speed,
but would be out for anything else.

Hi Rick
Exactly. I didn't want to have to pull my nose wheel and send it back. The
Matco rep was quite helpful in explaining what needed to be done.
He also pointed me to the this link on their website,
http://static.veracart.com/matco/item_pdfs/2404/document1.pdf
Notice how the nut sits in the U shaped hole protecting the valve stem. The
U shaped hole must be big enough for the nut but too small for the washer.
The washer keeps the tube from entering the hole.made for the valve stem &
nut.
Cheers
Les

Les, so this is a fix for the original wheel, instead of trading the Vans
supplied wheel with the Matco wheel that others done?

Hi
When I was at KOSH I spoke to a Matco rep about the "incorrect" nosehweel
that Vans sells for the -10. The problem is that the valve stem / cap is to
close to (or impacts) the forks when the tube is installed. I thought the
only option was to get a replacement half from Matco but that is not the
case.
Apperently, according to the rep, if you drill an exit hole for the valve
stem in the opposite half (from the side that does have the hole, the stem
will come out correctly. You will also have to replicate / enlarge the "U"
shaped hole on the interior of the wheel to accommodate the nut that
protects the valve stem as it passes into the interior of the wheel. Lastly,
you need to fill the original valve stem hole hole.
This is a very simple fix that took only a couple of hours to do.
Cheers

In case you aren't aware, Matco also makes an axle replacement - see
http://www.matcomfg.com/AXLEASSEMBLYA24125INCH-idv-3657-1.html
This is a brilliantly simple product that eliminates the bearing preload /
galling issues on the standard VANS forks / axle setup. It took all of 10
minutes to install. It uses an additional bolt to keep the axle from
rotating with the wheel. This in turns eliminates the galling of the forks.
Cheers
