| Subject: | Jacking up the '10 to do wheel maintenance |
Having just completed my first condition inspection, I found that I
needed jacking solutions so I could pull the wheels.
Thanks to all who have previously posted jack solutions. I'm posting my
designs to hopefully save others some time. The key things for me; it
had to be reliable, low cost to fabricate, and no welding.

Bill,
These are great ideas and remarkably timely as it's that time of year for me
again as well. Thanks!!!!

| Subject: | Shudder/shimmy on landing |
Like many RV-10s (apparently), mine shudders during the landing
rollout. Mine starts when decelerating through 35-40 knots (or so) on
landing. The speed range at which the shudder occurs is only a small
number of knots - less than 5 knot range I think, so the shudder phase
stops pretty quickly during deceleration. Hard braking may make the
shudder more intense.
Based on the successful experiences reported by Tim Olson and others, I
bought the Marc Parnes DU42 wheel balancer
(http://www.marcparnes.com/Ducati_Motorcycle_Wheel_Balancer.htm#DU42),
and used that to balance all my wheels. The DU42 is very nice piece of
equipment -- surprisingly sensitive.
http://www.marcparnes.com/Ducati_Motorcycle_Wheel_Balancer.htm#DU42
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/93114308/ParnesOnStands.JPG
It took a significant amount of weight to balance the wheels (several
1/4oz weights on each wheel). From what I've read, others have had this
same experience.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/93114308/TireWts.JPG
I also installed the planearound.com Wheel Fairing Bracket Spacers to
stiffen up the wheel fairing attachment to the main gear. The
planearound product is well made, fit fine, and really does stiffen up
the wheel fairing bracket attachment.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/93114308/PlaneAround1.JPG
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/93114308/PlaneAroundInstalled.JPG
Results: No discernible change in landing roll out behavior. I still
get about the same shudder on roll out. Perhaps the onset speed has
been raised a small number of knots as a result of balancing and adding
the brackets, but I'm not sure about that.
I'm not sure what else to try.

Bill,
I did something similar but I use a padded block on top. The padded block
is just a 2x6 covered in scrap insulation material. The block is held in
place by a pipe flange that has a 1/4" thick piece of scrap aluminum so that
the jack does not work its way through the wood block. The flange also
allows the block to swivel on the jack, aligning the block with the wing
tapper, but the flange rig prevents the block from slipping off the jack. I
position the center of the block long ways under the wing spar. My thought
on this was to spread the load over a larger area. I was also concerned of
jacking up the wing using a bolt in the tie down as either a slip off the
bolt or the tie down screw block not holding would cause significant damage.
I may just be paranoid on this aspect - but I'm happy with how this works.
Carl

Tim,
I fiberglassed oak stiffeners on the back of my gear legs. They fit inside the
fairing and are basically triangle shaped and milled to fit on the round tapered
gear leg. They have really helped with the shimmy. Mine started around 30 kias.
If I'm really light and by myself I feel a little shimmy but much less than ever
before the stiffeners. If I have any passengers with me or cargo I have no shimmy
at all with the stiffeners. Before it would shimmy in any configuration.
You can try what I did an that was using strapping tape first to try then out.
After it worked I prosealed the woo to the gear leg then glasses them in using
a spiral technique with 3" glass tape.
Good luck
I might be delivering a CJ to Manassas at the end of the month.

Carl, I worried quite a bit about that too then just decided to follow
the herd. Seems like a lot of people use the tie down point and some
have indicated that Vans approves. I hope that's the case.
I should add that I do all the wheel removal pre-work while it's on the
ground, I jack it, remove the wheel, then use wood blocks under the axle
to lower it down on to.
Thanks,
Bill

I'm going to be flying (big aluminum tube) to Prescott, AZ on Wednesday morning,
then flying back (little cessna spam can) from there to Birmingham. Is anybody
in the Prescott, AZ area or Dallas, TX area? Any recommendations for fuel stops
and/or routes that I should follow? Any projects that I could take a look
at?
Thanks in advance.

Another way would be to fit an aluminum tube around the gear, form it into
a streamline shape inside the fairing and filling it with epoxy, we did
this to our 6 and it has worked miracles, we did this with weight off of the
gear.

Mine starts when decelerating through 35-40 knots (or so) on landing.
The speed range at which the shudder occurs is only a small number of knots
- less than 5 knot range I think, so the shudder phase stops pretty quickly
during deceleration. Hard braking may make the shudder more intense.

get about the same shudder on roll out. Perhaps the onset speed has been
raised a small number of knots as a result of balancing and adding the
brackets, but I'm not sure about that.

Well, I'll presume that you are changing planes in Phoenix to some
small aircraft to fly to Prescott. Not that it matters. Bell DeRouchey
and John Ackerman are in Prescott, may be others. Both have been
flying for sometime.
As for fuel stops, I'll assume you are starting full. On southern
route, first cheap spot is Lordsburg NM at 5.15 a gal. In the past I
have used PEQ, Pecos, as a fuel and overnight stop.
If you elect to stay north, St Johns is cheapest in AZ. BGD in TX
panhandle is good overnight stop and usually cheap fuel with courtesy
car available. Altus OK isn't too bad for overnight, IIRC had to get
ride from FBO to motel and back.

at?

I need to order a batter for my RV-10 but don't remember the no. It's the Oddessy
PC960 or something like that as I recall. Can anyone give the correct battery
no.?

If it's an Odyssey and not the stock Concord, then the "small" one is
a PC680, the "big" one is a PC925--unless like me you did the
installation backwards and need the terminals reversed, then it's a
PC925L.
West Coast Batteries has a great web site, great service, and better
prices than Spruce:

Might be worth a look!
