So much, that she did a fair amount of the fairing work herself. The paint design is her's too. This past year, it's clearly been a family affair. Unfortunately, I tore my Achilles' tendon and have to have surgery in a couple weeks. So it looks like first flight will be delayed a couple months. If I don't make Sun n Fun, I'll definitely be there for OSH.

Can anyone tell me what the maximum pitch angle is in a climb? I will assume that the minimum fuel is whatever it takes to allow fuel to flow at that angle. Anyone have an idea of what that might be?

That will get you close. I was getting 42 gph with a 15' hose connected to fuel line from servo inlet. Also if you like to slip instead of crab during xw landings, you will want to be on the downwind tank. It may or may not be the tank opposite the pattern direction. -------- Wayne Gillispie 12/01/2011 TT= 95 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=388927#388927 ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 01:28:08 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: Maximum Climb Angle From: Jesse Saint You could calculate based on VS & airspeed. At sea level low on fuel, max co uld be 2,000fpm at 110kias. You could calculate the angle based on that and d o your measurement. In coordinated flight, it doesn't matter which tank vers us which way you turn, but when I'm low I hold some rudder from the side tha t I am burning, but that doesn't affect your test. The benefit for you is th at the pickup is at the back of the tank, so you will burn much lower before sucking air than in level flight. Note, though, that you want to set minimu m fuel in a level situation to get an accurate reading of the fuel level. Wi th the tail on the ground you may get a couple of gallons after your gauge r eads empty.

Better be on the opposite tank as the pattern direction.... and that may not be the fullest tank. " This is an OWT. As long as you fly coordinated turns, it makes no difference. Uncoordinated - as in a cross wind landing - it might be best to have fuel from the higher tank. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=388935#388935 ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 03:57:15 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Manifold Pressure 'excursions' Your feedback wanted From: Deems Davis We just returned from a trip to Yosemite for Thanksgiving. On the return flight leaving Mariposa Airport, after pulling everything back to 25 Sq for climb, I had exited the pattern and established a climb @ 105 kts when I noticed that the MP was reading 30 " !. My 1st reaction was that I must not have pulled the throttle back, but when I pulled the throttle back to 25" the fuel flow dropped to 10 gph, and the engine noise softened considerably. I increased the throttle back to where the fuel flow should have been for climb out and watched the MP slowly drop back to 'normal'. All other gauges appeared to be reading what I would expect them to be. I monitored everything closely for the next 30 mins and everything looked and acted 'normal'. About 1:30 into the flight everything was stable @ 22" MP and 2350 RPM, and again the MP suddenly increased to 26". Again all other guages read normal, and no change in the sound of the engine. Once again the MP slowly decreased until it settled again @ 22". Does anybody have any similar experience or insight into what the root cause could be? ________________________________ Message 13 ____________________________________ Time: 04:13:04 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: Manifold Pressure 'excursions' Your feedback wanted From: Kelly McMullen Deems, Sounds like you have a fitting coming loose or other intermittent leak. MP will go up to ambient if the seal is broken on MP line. Mariposa and Yosemite are great. We were there right after Labor Day.

Was the ambient pressure anywhere near 26" the second time? I would clean out and test the line to the MAP s ensor. See if you can catch anything that comes out--just to see. If it seem s perfectly clean then consider the sender. It doesn't sound at all like an a ctual indication. --Dave On Nov 25, 2012, at 15:56, Deems Davis wrote: > We just returned from a trip to Yosemite for Thanksgiving.

Also, the only reason that would come into play is doing a hot-shot snap up into a break when you're almost out of gas - an opportunity to get a Darwin Award. (g) You mentioned: "On the other hand this is a very specific info requirement that I have to satisfy." If that info requirement is a limitation you want to put in your POH, I'd advise against it.
