Sean,
My came from Lycoming mounted in the same location as yours. The fuel line runs
vertically beneath the spider. Since I installed Rod Bowers ram air mod, my
servo is not located in the traditional location. I can take pictures this
weekend if you need them.

What I'm trying to figure out is after dropping between the cylinders
the line should curve at the sump bolts and run along the sump over the
1 and 3 intakes or drop past the sump bolts and just free hang under the
intakes. I'm placing the red cube mounted similar to others by the
servo. Trying to envision the best route to take as I have to order
that pricey hose and would like to only order one of them. :)

I use TurboCAD software. It is relatively inexpensive. If you found some
free CAD software that would allow for 2D design and output to DWG or
DXF format, that should work well. Then you just need to draw up your
instruments and your radio stack and work on the arrangement on the
panel with the constraints behind the panel taken into account.

Subject: | Re: Routing Fuel Line To Spider |
I just reviewed the photos I have online, but didn't have any that shows what you
are looking for.
I have a 90 degree elbow between the sump and fuel servo. The servo is horizontal
instead of the traditional vertical orientation. I fabricated a mounting bracket
that uses the same studs on the sump as the elbow. I've mounted the fuel
flow sensor to that, which is almost directly below the spider. The Lycoming
supplied hose that was installed is a little long, but I can make it work.
All my other hoses aren't the standard lengths and were custom made by tsflightlines.
Remind me again if I don't follow up with a picture this weekend.

I used XPanel. Its not free but IMHO its worth the $80.00. It saves much ti
me with the RV blank panel templates pre-designated plus all the avionics I
needed already in the system. Simple enough to learn and use.
If you want free; Google Chrome has a free CAD style app you can download f
or free and use to lay out a kitchen, backyard or panel. Just go to the Chr
ome app store. Sorry on my tablet now or would send you a link.

Subject: | Re: Square footage for painting |
I think you can negotiate what you want regarding reassembly with most paint
shops. My RV-7A was painted at Gillespie field in San Diego, and the
painter just left a hangar full of painted assemblies (rudder, elevators,
flaps, ailerons, canopy) sitting there for me to put back on the plane.
Which I remember doing on a day when the temperature was 102 degrees. :-P
The shop in Arkansas used a local A&P for disassembly and reassembly and
included that in the price, saying it was part of their normal workflow with
certificated aircraft and they didn't really want to change the process to
have a builder working on his plane in their shop areas. Which was fine
with me since it seemed like a pretty toxic environment - no dust or
pverspray but lots of fumes that everybody was breathing in. But I sure
checked everything when I picked the plane up, for which I flew the RV-7A
with a CFI friend from Nashville over to Arkansas. This gave the
opportunity for one of the coolest pictures of the -10 fresh out of the
paint shop, with its little brother:
http://faculty.washington.edu/dmasys/RV7-RV10-Mena.jpg
Funny story about that RV-10 paint job was that I took the plane in sometime
in November of 2007 and they told me there would be a ten day delay in
starting the project, since deer hunting season started the day after I
delivered the plane, and the entire shop staff would be out in the woods. :)

You can use Panel Planner to do the layout. It has templates that also have
slave requirements for behind the panel.
You can drag and rearrange until you are happy with the result.

If you own Photoshop, or visio or can locate a free app that can read
the Vans panel than should be able to grab pictures off of brochures or
on the web of your planned avionics and place it on the Vans panel. I
think I measured all the dimensions than made the templates in Visio
once I worked out the spacing issues I put it all in photoshop to see
how it all looked.

Hi Carlos,
If you're after 2D CAD software, you can download Dassault DraftSight
free. This is not a "panel planner" in the sense of showing the
instruments and avionics, but more of a "hole planner" and something you
can then use to CNC cut the panel.
Attached is the .dwg file for my RV-10 panel (in development).
Cheers,
Gordon

Subject: | Cabin heat control knobs |
Regarding the cabin heat system, I have a couple of questions:
- Where did you put the control knobs of the cables which control the
rear and front cabin heat?
Is it good to put the front heat control knob in the instrument panel, and
the rear heat control knob behind the front seats, thus leaving this control
(only) reachable by the rear passengers?
- Those of you who used the modified "T" (VA175), in order to have
left / right control, where did you put the control knob for this feature?

Subject: | Cabin heat control knobs |
Both heat control knobs need to be accessible to the pilot. I find that 90%
of the time when I have heat on I just have the rear on. I find no real
need for a left/right control - but to each his/her own.
I have the oil cooler air butterfly valve (blank knob) control on the pilot
only side of the panel, next to the alternate engine air (red knob) control.
The heat knobs are next to each other on the co-pilot side (but reachable
from the pilot seat). That way the co-pilot will not mistakenly touch the
oil cooler or alt air controls. All controls are on the panel apron. When
you pick the spots, make sure you do not create interference for full stick
travel.

Don't forget to sit in the real airplane, in the actual flying seating position,
and look at paper cutouts on the panel. You can check the ease and feel as you
reach for things; that nothing important is hidden under the glare shield;
and that important things like the PFD are in focus (important for me as I wear
bifocals!).

Subject: | RV-10 chases me on the Autobahn ;-) |
Today I took my RV-10 fuselage from the paintshop to the airport. In the stop-motion
video it looks as if the RV is chasing me through Switzerland, funny to
watch.
Please don't ask why I kept the rear trunk window open while unloading the RV,
I guess I meant to hide the secret on how to do it ;-)
Wings & tail feathers are coming shortly as well.

....and yes in the tunnel I accelerated to the speed of light as the the video
proofs.

Hi Mike.. congrats on the move! Looks like a beautiful paint job. I am

Subject: | Re: Cabin heat control knobs |
I put these controls and the air filter bypass on a plate that attached to t
he rear of the panel with screws from the front. The knobs fit through an ov
al hole cut in the panel. Otherwise the controls will have to be removed if y
ou want to take the panel out. Makes service much easier.

Subject: | Re: Panel design |
In addition to Bob's excellent advice, when it comes to switch layout; think
about a logical order of switch usage i.e. going down a row rather than
jumping around when running the checklist.
Also consider where the important autopilot power switch and fuel pump
switches will be; these should readily available and easily reached.
Finally the primary flight display should be as close to centered in front
of the pilots head as possible. Looking cross cockpit at the flight display
will bug you. Stay away from unconventional arrangements; most certified
panels are similar for a reason, they work. A good conventional panel will
add much to your enjoyment of the airplane and add to resale value.

Subject: | Disabling front cabin heat? |
Has anyone disabled the front cabin heat in their RV-10? I'm finding that
even on really cold days, I only need partial rear heat to keep things
warm, and I never use the front heat, since I want to minimize heat behind
the panel. In the warm summer months, I don't want all that hot air
blowing on the firewall. I don't think I can just disconnect the air hose
to the muff, since the exhaust pipe would probably get too hot. If
nothing else, I figure I could disconnect the air hose between the muff and
firewall at the firewall and just point it down toward the cowl exit. Of
course, I would have to seal the hole in the firewall.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks...
