When I finally hooked it up and flew, it melted. While there may be several reasons for this, a number of people seem to have experienced it. Even though it was 5+ years since purchase, and the current supplier is in AUS, he made me more than whole and I've been very happy after a year of flying with it. After a few ice encounters, it apparently works well. I really like the "always on, constantly monitored, automatic operation" aspect of it. I'd recommend it.

Dave, I can't add anything here except some reflection... I have to admit to not having fully explored the stall characteristics near the aft CG limits because it's so difficult to do. On one hand, loading enough sand or water for a single pilot test is very difficult to do safely. On the other hand, I don't know 3 other people I want to subject to the exercise. As we all know, stalls in a "typically" loaded '10 are benign and well behaved. Recovery doesn't really require the 'textbook' response, you just have to relax the pro-stall controls and add some power. I'm thinking that I may be subject to extrapolating the benign stall and recovery characteristics at typical loadings to stall and recovery characteristics at more rearward loadings. This is a wake up call to me to remember to remain assertive in my recoveries. On that point, thanks for the post! On a somewhat related matter, I've just now fully realized just how different the landing characteristics of the '10 are at fore and aft loadings. I find it difficult to get anything but stick back, roll on greasers when I'm loaded with 2 in front and bags in the baggage compartment (about 110.4" behind datum). The easiest landing plane I've ever flown. With 4 on board, bags and low tanks, I find carrying a bit of power into the flare gives me the best chance of smooth one. But it's pretty easy to arrive with authority if I come in power-off. It's pretty easy to get a typical 'student' landing if I come in too fast. And with stalls and landings, I keep in mind that while my old Maule's CG moved forward as I burned off fuel, the '10 does the opposite. Though the difference is not great.

Hi all, I'm on section 29-3, Step 3: "Clamp the F-1013-R Fwd Fuse Longeron in a padded vise at the "forward twist mark". Twist the fwd fuse longeron with a crescent wrench as shown in Figure 2 to obtain the dimension shown in Figure 3. Clamp the fwd fuse longeron at the "aft twist mark". Repeat the process using the twist direction shown in Figure 1 to obtain the dimension shown in Figure 3." So they say to twist the forward and aft parts of the right longeron, but what about the forward part of the LEFT longeron? (The aft twist does not apply to the left longeron, since the dimension shown won't allow it.) I can't see any difference in symmetry in the forward sections of either L or R F-1013 longerons. Is it the plans missing it, or are you really not supposed to twist the forward part F-1013 left longeron?

From: "Bob Turner" Bill, I think you'll find that as you burn gas the cg moves aft if you start out with the cg fairly far aft. But if you start out near the forward limit, then the cg moves forward as you burn gas. It is important with the 10 to check cg in the landing configuration, regardless of where you start. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=397337#397337 ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 01:56:09 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: RV-10 Stall Characteristics (what just happened here?)

B =8Bill, I agree, aft vs. fwd cg makes =8Bfor two very different landing airplanes. Someone recently posted that their best approaches seem very steep, and I feel the same way. The runway comes up real fast but there's plenty of elevator--even more when loaded aft--to arrest decent and land gently. =8BFlying a different -10 recently, solo and light, I noticed the pla ne lands much more nose-down, like a flatter attitude. I need to get it a little slower in the flare than I'm used to, and see if the nose comes up any higher. That plane doesn't have AOA so I'm just going by speed. Maybe that's the difference.=8B Dave Saylor 831-750-0284 CL On Sat, Mar 30, 2013 at 5:06 AM, Bill Watson wrote: > > Dave, I can't add anything here except some reflection... > > I have to admit to not having fully explored the stall characteristics > near the aft CG limits because it's so difficult to do.

I've meant ever since to develop a page for my checklist just in case. Using the basic ideas from Avweb I formatted it like my other checklists and added what I thought was appropriate. So...with the understanding that I don't have a lot of IMC experience, please let me know if this seems appropriate, or if there are obvious errors. I know it's kind of a longshot to have a complete failure IMC with a happy ending. Still, ya gotta try. For example, I put in Airspeed: VA because it seemed like a good idea. I don't know if there's an accepted practice here. Just seemed prudent. For reference, I have an AFS EFIS, D10A backup, and 696 for GPS2. My only mechanical instruments are airspeed and vertical card compass. I have aux standby batteries powering EFIS 1&2, GPS 1&2, COM1, autopilot, and trim.

In the heat of the moment there's no need to be messing around with airspeed, especially if pitot data is in question. You might add: "cross check with gps ground speed". If, like many, you can drive your autopilot off your EFIS or directly off a gps source, make sure you add:"Autopilot: EFIS source off" or however your EFIS/independent op switch is labeled. And of course, if your autopilot is only driven off the EFIS it should be "autopilot - off". Finally, all is definitely not lost. My last IPC the cfii shut down all my GRT screens (put them all on an engine page, actually), turned off all NAV's in the panel. Using the internal battery powered D-6, and a battery powered, hand held VOR (could have been a gps, too) I was able to make a passable VOR approach to non precision minimums. But if the visibility were less than a mile, it would definitely be best to go somewhere else! -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=397366#397366 ________________________________ Message 14 ____________________________________ Time: 06:14:43 PM PST US From: James Hein Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: F-1013 Twist: R but not L ?

"Airspeed: maintain" is better. I changed the autopilot item reply from "ON" to "PUSH AP". That way the EFIS is out of the system and the AP holds current heading and vertical speed by its own gyros. Hopefully I can stabilize things from there. Maybe it's best to avoid following a GPS flight plan altogether, and just fly an assigned heading. When I said there wouldn't be much hope, I meant in a total and complete failure...even then I'm still gonna try! I thoroughly expect to land if a single item or two should fail.
