    From: Nikolaos Napoli <napolin@me.com>
    Hi Mike I have seen similar numbers to yours on hot and humid days. I have since started doing the mag check leaned a bit and it has not exceeded 200 rpm drop on the hottest days. On cool days the drop is under 100rpm. No engine roughness during mag check or flight.

    I'm guessing that you're set up a little too rich. All other parameters being the same. Having said that, being able to read a digital RPM Vs. an analog gauge may account for some of the disparity.

    Dear all, as promised I put HB-YNN first flight video online. Its 18 min and HD so turn up the sound sit back and enjoy. Hope that is a motivation boost for those pounding rivets. And thanks to all listers for your input and prompt answers! http://youtu.be/X7EQ81C3xSA Regards Michael -------- RV-10 builder (flying, test phase) #511 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=409264#409264

    Subject: Spar Spacers
    From: "MTBehnke" <mtbehnke2@msn.com>
    I'm working on joining the forward and center fuselage sections. When I bolted the two spar sections together with the (13) .125" and (1) .063" spacer, I'm finding the gap between the spars is around 1.72"-1.73" at each side and top and bottom, compared to the 1.6875" thickness of the wing spars. If I measure each of the spacers, the actual thickness of the .125" spacers varies from .1264" to .1269", and the .063" ones are a little thicker as well. These cumulative variations in thickness result in the gap for the wing spars being wider than the spar itself by around .030 to 0.40". I also noticed that the rivet holes in the bottom of the spar carry-thru sections and the skins is slightly off due to this same issue. I'm thinking of skipping the included spacers and making my own out of plywood. Did any other slow-builders run into spacing issues with their spars?

    The only thing I had to do was deburr the edges of the spacers, otherwise they did not stack together well. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Bob Leffler Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2013 1:39 PM Subject: Re: RV10-List: Spar Spacers I don't recall having any problems with the spacers.

    Make sure your spacers are burr free and clamp them up. Everything will line up just as they should provided you use the correct spacers supplied by Vans. ----- Original Message ----- From: "MTBehnke" <mtbehnke2@msn.com> Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2013 1:21:45 PM Subject: RV10-List: Spar Spacers I'm working on joining the forward and center fuselage sections.
