    I wanted to report the latest results of my stall testing we move the c.g. slowly backwards to 115.2 (full fuel) and 2700 lbs MTOW. Whic. Would giv me a c.g. of 116.18 ( low fuel). The plane flies until 69 KIAS but won't break into a stall. It is a "rocking horse" ride down. From what I read others extropolate the numbers to 2700 lbs and did tests with less weight but did anyone fly with 2700 lbs to a stall break with reflex flaps (clean)?

    Subject: Re: Question to no pwr clean stall speeds
    The stall speed still sounds high. On the 8A I noted my landings were taking up way too much runway when using the same approached I used for years. I built the attached simple airspeed calibration rig and found the airspeed meter was reading correctly at cruise, but several knots high at speeds below 80 knots or so. How I fixed it to read accurately is another story. As a side note, the rig is perhaps $5 of tygon tubing but it is dead on accurate. I used it before first flight on the 10 to make sure the EFIS and the steam gauge airspeed meter were reading accurately across the speed range. It is also useful to check for and correct pitot and static line leaks.

    For our Swiss friend, note that the scale on Carl's gizmo is in inches on the left side. Also, the air source is low pressure - 1 or 2 psi max. Do not use your shop compressor. In fact, if your sustem is leak free, you do not need an air source at all. Just raise the free end of the water tube, and read the difference between the two sides on Carl's scale. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=410622#410622

    Subject: Comm Antenna
    I have been using a simple bent whip antenna on the bottom of my RV-10 for 7 years, but the signal has been getting weaker and I'm looking at upgrading. I looked in the archives but seemed to miss a discussion that I'm sure has been made, but I was wondering how much better antennas like COMANT's CI-122 are over the significantly cheaper bent whip? I'm using the low drag antenna on the cabin roof for COMM 2 and it works great. Thanks, Marcus

The bent whip antennas don't get 'weaker' ..... unless they're filthy. I think something is deteriorating .... most likely a kink or bend in the coax to the antenna or the connection at the antenna. Putting an expensive antenna on the bad coax won't improve things much.

    Getting weaker? Antennas don't wear out in 7 years. Is it relatively clean? I would look under the antenna for oxidation or corrosion. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=410654#410654

    Lynn Have you had the com checked to see if it is ok. I had an issue with my 430 Nav portion. Single was getting weaker And weaker. Changed antennas checked everything spent 6 months chasing this and it turned out to be the 430. The sad thing it was still in warranty when it started but by the time I found it, it was out by 3 months Garmin still charged me 1000.00 to repair.
