With the 10 you do not need a matched set of wings. They might suggest it
only
Because they want to sell another set QB of wings.

Subject: RV10-List: "Matched" wings to spars
In my building process I built the fuselage kit after the empennage kit by
ordering the spar box kit with the fuse kit.
I later bought a QB wing kit from another builder.
There was concern expressed by some that I might have difficulties by not
having the wing spar and spar box "matched" by serial number set.
Van's said it shouldn't be a problem even though they still recommend a
matched set, so it always lingered in the back of my mind that I could get
caught in a pickle. However, I am happy (and relieved) to report that at
initial mating everything lined up perfectly.
At least with the 10, (and I assume beyond), the Van's fabrication process
is so accurate that the venerable practice of matching the components is
unnecessary.

Just curious, but you're saying that some of the wing attach bolt holes were drilled
oversized and annotated as such? I mated my wings a few weeks ago and don't
recall anything anywhere indicating oversized holes. My wings were SB--is
this a QB thing?

I can't imagine why any holes would be non-standard unless there was a flaw discovered
that they re-drilled to salvage. I think that would definitely require
paperwork and close scrutiny. Everything matched on mine except the serial
numbers.

Hi there,
I can't find anywhere the required tire pressure for the main and nose wheel tire.
What PSI are you using?

This has been a subject for discussion several times.... 10er's are using a
nywhere between 35 and 60 psi... with most probably in the 40 to 45 range.
- I've used as high as 50 (especially when flying into grass strips) and
have seen no downside effects.

40psi in front (sect 46-3 step 8)
42psi in rear (sect 48-3 step 4)
I run mine 2 psi higher- just to allow for longer period before needing to
remove pants and refill. even with the non leak I lose pressure over time.

I was using 45 main and 40 front until I switched to Desser retreads. Then
the plane got REALLY hard to pull out of the hangar. Checked brgs, brakes,
etc. I finally upped the pressures to 60/50 and it's good as new.

I find this thread interesting. When I was a baby pilot I had a good
mentor .... for almost everything involving aviation. He said to fill
the tire until the outside rib just lifts off the ground. "Pounds don't
work well because a wide range of airplane weights use the same size
tire." Made sense to me so that's what I do. I get pretty even tire
wear. Of course we're talking RVs here and there is noo such thing as
even tire wear on the mains!!!
Have wheel pants? Get tubes with a 90 degree stem and drill a hole on
the wheel pant where the stem points. Go to a truck tire store and get
a couple of straight truck tire extensions. When you have the stem at
the right point paint a white line on the inside of the tire so when you
pull the airplane forward you can spot the white line and the tire
should be in the right position for filling. Find a plastic plug to fit
the hole (or is it the other way around) and your tire filling
nightmares go away.
Now, question: When you fill the tire to 60 Lbs, which rib is off the
ground?

Lowes Aircraft Supply makes a perfect metal plug for the hole you

Hi there,
I can't find anywhere the required tire pressure for the main and nose whee
l tire. What PSI are you using?

There are metal 'goof plugs' in the electrical section ..... it has a
zillion little metal fingers ..... that tear the dickens out of the
fiberglass so you don't want those. That's why I use the plastic ones.
Like this:

I save all the plastic plugs/caps that show up in stuff I install and
typically use them.

Given that regular air is 78% nitrogen, are you saying that
everything but the nitrogen leaks out if using air? If so, wouldn't
that eventually leave just nitrogen if you kept refilling it?

I'm just telling you mine has held pressure for 6 months.

I fill mine with Helium. It is much more expensive, and leaks
so fast I have to top them off every week, but I get
a larger useful load by .0032 lbs.

You can get most any gas at a local gas supplier. Airgas is
one of our local ones...can get O2, Nitrogen, Helium and
just about anything. They deliver to the semiconductor industry,
hospitals, and everything else in our area.
If you want to own your own bottle, you can buy a small one
and get them to fill it, but they probably would do lease/exchanges
that you could do pretty cheap. I bet Nitrogen is super
cheap to buy. But as was noted...since Air is almost 80% N2
already, I'm not sure the added benefit is worth the cost.

This is an OWT. As someone else pointed out, if the oxygen really diffused out
faster than nitrogen, you could fill with air, wait for the pressure to drop 20%,
refill with air and then have 96% nitrogen!
FBO's usually have a pressurized nitrogen bottle for filling struts, because (1)
the high pressure plus the right valves make the job easy, and (2) it keeps
water vapor (and rust) out.

No reason to limit yourself to 65% power LOP for climb. Many of the
Bonanza guys operate at 85% power LOP by doing the big mixture pull once
safely into cruise climb. If you simply pull back to 14.8 gph while at
full throttle, you will be LOP at 85%.

Robin;
I do just that, I take off full power, at 1000ft AGL reduce rpm to
2500rpm, pull the throttle back to 65% and Lean out to 10.5 gph- which
is what I know is close enough for normal, based on testing this
scenario, my CHT=99s stay low and I climb out at 120-130kts as I
climb, I continue to give it more throttle to keep it at 65%, the plane
like this more, shown with lower pressures and temps, than full throttle
and so do I when 20gph goes down by half but my speed doesn=99t.
I also will do this and go to full throttle (after EMT) to get above the
hills to the north of us. the forward speed keeps the temps lower than
if I had left the throttle in the whole time.

I pressurize nose to 45 and mains to 47 psi(5 over). My std Van's provided tires/tubes
lose 1 psi/month. Recheck every four months. I remove the nose pant and
fwd half of mains to inspect and clean while in there. Our pressures need to
be close to specs for proper energy absorption.
After 103 hrs my brake pads have worn less than 1/16" from new dimension. It helps
when you don't jam the brakes on to make that first turn off', maintain 70
kts on final and use the rudder to steer as much as possible.

| Subject: | Re: LOP Article - FLYING magazine |
I generally do WOT climbs to cruise, only leaning to keep "the same" EGT
temps to altitude. "The same" being the EGTs I get at say 1,000' AGL
with the mixture full rich (or at least at the mixture I decided to use
at a high elevation field).
As I understand it, this is not a LOP climb but rather a climb that
conservatively maintains the cooling effects of a full rich climb
without overdoing it. I then go to LOP cruise.

I heard there's a huge nitrogen farm in Nebraska that's a gigantic series
of inner-tubes. They just keep filling it with air and siphoning off the
nitrogen.
Do not archive. Or take seriously.

BTW, physics works both ways. If the tubes were really permeable to oxygen but
not nitrogen, and you filled the tube with 45 psi(g) pure nitrogen, then over
time you would see the pressure RISE about 5% as oxygen from the atmosphere diffused
into the tube!
