Hi Bob,
the antenna is already installed and riveted under the nut plates, so I can#t remove
the screws and replace them with metric ones.

Subject: RV10-List: Canopy Cutting Made Easy!
The first step with any Van's canopy installation is cutting the plexiglass bubble
out of the molding frame. For me, this went smoothly mostly thanks to an awesome
tool called a "Roto-Zip" that is available from a local Lowes hardware
store. I have a right-angle cut-off wheel attachment for it. I can't remember
if this came with it or if I bought it separately as an accessory. In either case,
it is a must have for this Plexi cutting. I got some 3.5" "metal cutting
wheels" for it and I have to say it is the cat's meow when it comes to cutting
the canopies out. The tool has plenty of power and doesn't bog down, yet it is
very controllable and accurate cutting is pretty easy. Don't get me wrong, this
is definitely a manly tool and it requires a fair amount of respect. But it
has just the right weight and fits nicely in your hand. The right-angle attachment
can be unlatched and spun in any direction in relation to the handle and
cord, which is really nice. Highly recommend!

If I am light and climbing 1500+fpm, I sometimes leave things alone because the
MP will come down quickly enough. Otherwise, I takeoff with flaps in reflex,
full power, mixture full rich (at or near sea level), at about 1,000 ft AGL I
pull power to 25" and prop to 2500rpm (sometimes leave it in, but our engine is
redline at 2575rpm anyway), add MP to maintain 25" in the climb until I'm full
rich, then leave it there, leaning to the low 1300's on EGT during climb. In
cruise, I really like 20" 2400rpm and 10.5 gph or so, unless I'm in a great
big hurry. On descent, if I'm high, I move mixture to 12gph, keep pulling MP back
to 20" as I descend and prop at 2200rpm. Mixture and Prop go full in as I
approach the pattern.

Am I missing something? My understanding is that the C4B5 engine or
close variants are rpm limited only by the certified airframes they were
installed in....such as Aztec or Comanche 250, and that there was no
reason not to increase the governor limit to 2700. Perhaps Rhonda can
educate me.
