    Great information Robert. Did you also notice a difference in take-off distance? In theory that should also be better with the MT.

    I also used the pcu5000 on my -10. It has worked perfectly without any rpm. adjustments. One thing that confused me for a while during installation was the instructions for adjusting the position of the control arm. The loosen the 6 screws and move the outer ring just didn't compute. For the longest time I thought you had to rotate the ring to one of six positions as defined by the screw pattern. What I was missing was that the outer ring was so nicely machined that I didn't realize that with the screws loose, the ring allowed a sliding motion between the body and the control arm. This Allows complete freedom in setting the control arm position Bob N541RV flying Sent from asmy iPhone On Dec 11, 2012, at 10:53 AM, "Pascal" <rv10flyer@live.com> wrote: > > Same feedback as Carl.

    Subject: RV main gear vibration
    Kevin, The holes that need to be oblonged are the holes in the gear mounting bracket (those that were drilled 7.9 mm on the building instructions). You will have to remove the seat(s), the R side panel and the seat mounting bracket. Jack the wheel up untill it is just touching the floor before removing the landing gear bolt. Have some one turn the landing gear leg while You run the drill bit through the landing gear and bracket mounting hole. This will oblong the bracket holes but not the gear leg. Stop twisting the landing gear leg when the wheel is tracking properly. The oblongation will be as little as a few thousandths to pehapes 1/16th inch. Make a shim to make the bracket hole round and replace the bolt.

    Subject: Re: MT Prop(s)
    The =9Cgeneral=9D rule is that a 2 blade is about 2-3kts faster in cruise but a 3 blade is much more smooth. Deems can comment on this, as I believe he has a Aerocomposite, but if marketing is correct they have a prop that is faster than Don=99s and 2 bladed aircraft http://www.aerocomposites.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.viewPage&page_i d=D84B9F8D-5004-D739-A5A07B7031786BA9 Propeller tests conducted have involved aircraft with cruise speeds ranging from 200 to 350-mph. In many flight tests, pilots reported increases in cruise speed ranging from 5 mph to 10 mph. In one test, it was reported that the two propellers tested had about the same cruise speeds but that the AeroComposites propeller resulted in better aircraft acceleration, especially at the higher power settings. Cruise speed improvements reported are attributable to the thin, low drag AeroComposites blade designs where the blade design is biased toward cruise rather than takeoff/climb performance. In all tests conducted, quieter operation, fast speed control response, and smooth operation (little to no vibration) were reported. Increases in climb rates have been reported in a number of applications on the order of 300 feet/minute. Significant weight savings were also realized in installations where AeroComposites propellers were replacing aluminum propellers (savings ranged from 17 to more than 25 lbs).

    I'm off the ground before an unloaded Maule. And faster than a speeding bullet. In an airborne drag race, I consistently 'walk-away' from All RV10's with either a 2 bld Hartzell or 3bld MT .

    another nice thing about the MT is that it is about 22 pounds lighter (I fo rget the exact difference) than the two blade metal prop.

    How does one go about making a shim? It just seems the shim we=99re talking about would be nearly impossible to make correctly or am I not envisioning something properly. The way I picture this in my head the shims would likely be a tiny moon shaped sliver installed on the non-oblonged side of the hole (the side that the drill bit did not widen) between the nut head and bolt within the gear leg housing hole? Would the shims have to be the same thickness as the gear leg housing? I imagine you could cut/grind on a washer to make this or am I missing something? Does the curvature of the gear leg housing have to be matched? Ben Westfall On Wed, Dec 12, 2012 at 9:28 AM, Carroll L.

    Subject: Main gear vibration
    Lew, I think it is easier to oblong the thin walled mounting bracket tube than drill out the bracket and leg. This is some hard steel and I would be afraid of weakening the landing leg by drilling it's hole bigger. The gear fixation bolt is 3/8 inch. A 3/8 inch washer has the right inside curvature. You will have grind the eliptical moon shape on the out side of the washer. It will be small, perhapes only 1/32 to 1/16 inch thick by 3/8 inch. None-the-less, You need to take up the space in the oblong hole so the gear leg can not rotate in the mounting bracket tube. The gear leg is 2 inches thick and will not oblong as easily as the thin wall of the tube while turning the 7.9mm bit in the bracket and leg while twisting the leg.

    Hope this isn't a late night dumb question, but here goes. Since most of my landings are somewhat unstraight anyway, I am wondering why an unequal toe-in on left and right gears would matter? Presumeably the aircraft will just track in the direction giving equal side forces from the wheels (plus or minus crosswinds) which would be a degree or two off fuselage centerline. Is the critical issue causing vibration perhaps the total toe-in, rather than the inequality? Having been instructed by the plans to drum up a peculiarly (under)sized drill-bit to ensure there is minimal bolt clearance, it seems questionable to enlarge the holes in any way which might introduce (more) slop in the system (which already exists with the 7.9mm hole).

    I agree Gordon, but over time when 90% of your taxiing is straight ahead I b elieve you would wear one tire quicker than the other. As far as the shimmy g oes I believe toe in or out doesn't make much difference. It would get worse when braking causing the wheel to track out when there is brake pressure. T his didn't happen in my case. Vans told me a larger bolt holding the gear would work fine. Personally I wo uldn't oval the weldment. I aligned mine for tire wear and hoping it would h elp the shimmy that others have had. Not sure if it helped for shimmy becaus e it hadn't flown before I aligned mine. I do know the gear stiffeners fixed my shimmy.

    Hey Carroll, Thanks. Got it. I also thought of landing on the mains would equalize the toe in ... until the nose wheel contacts, and I seem to remember someone saying the shimmy didn=99t start for them until nose wheel was down and roll out around 35 mph =93 which would make sense (as well as wondering about the nose wheel itself =93 tension/air pressure). Later, =93 Lew do not archive
