    Subject: EZ Heat engine block heater
    couple of pictures of my installation just in case someone is planning the same. The installation instructions are conceptual and not directly related to IO540. Basically, place the pads where you they fit. The throttle body and the cable bracket had to come out to accommodate the installation. Of course easiest installation during the building process. Have not fired it up yet, 24 hrs needed to cure. Costs $185 including shipping from AS. Do not archive.

    Yep - I looked at this and decided that while it is simple and effective, it is way overpriced. The M.L. Skunkworks version is still listed for $115 - much more reasonable. http://www.mlblueskunk.com/Rudder_Trim_System.html After all the rigging tweaks during Phase One I have not found a need for rudder trim in cruise.

    I mentioned the tab, that fellow Don McDonald helped me create and it was not a big deal. You grab a piece of aluminum, 4" X 2" and you bend it slightly. Fly and see what happens at cruise. adjust as needed and repeat flight until ball is centered. If I add up the cost of gas I guess it was about $75, except I was flying anyway so it was practically free. My ball is centered than not and I rarely need to adjust it in cruise, John is right on, once you get the rudder tab tuned in there is very little trim adjustments needed. I know Tim Olson went the route of the trim tab to electronic trim, I would encourage all you debating this to check out his extensive review and steps to do oneself.

    I love my rudder trim form Aerosport. It works perfect and doesn't add weight to the rudder assembly. As a great by-product it holds the rudder from being slammed around in winds. Of course you need to put in a gust lock in strong gusts. -----Original Message----- From: Geoff Combs Sent: Sunday, December 8, 2013 9:30 AM Subject: RE: RV10-List: Re: rudder trim RV-10 John Aerosport Products rudder trim is a much more refined unit then the skunkworks.

    From: "Mike Whisky" <rv-10@wellenzohn.net>
    My test program asks for a full power 30 bank stall. M question is if this has been done by others and what is the aircrafts behavior. I'd expect that the low wing would stall first due to lower airspeed compared to the outer turn wing. What did you experience?

    That's a strange one for a non-acrobatic RV-10. It would take a LOT of nose up at full power to stall. John -------- #40572 Phase One complete and flying. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=415144#415144

    From: Marcus Cooper <cooprv7@yahoo.com>
    Not sure why you need to test that configuration, but a full power stall in the RV-10 can get pretty nose high so just be ready. This is particularly the case if you have some flaps down and the only situation I can imagine needing to test this setup for would be in the event of disorientation after a go-around in which case you will probably have the flaps down. Also make sure you maintain coordinated flight going into it as with full power you should have a fair amount of rudder in, otherwise youll get a pretty hefty wing drop. In all stalls Ive tried the wings have remained steady and the nose drop is remarkably unimpressive (a good thing).

    Michael, please discuss with your flight advisor, I would do a step up approach first with 60% power to get a feeling (and start enough high). My Glastar does exactly the opposite to what you describe (and I can repeat it) so the outer wing stalls and the plane goes into a straight and level attitude with nose down, very tame. However I did hear from Lancair/Glasair pilot from wing overs! (Andre Beusch might be a good person to talk about his experience.) Good luck (and I'm impressed with your landings, seems the 10 has a lot of elevator authority on slow speed as well as that nose gear is up about half the runway long :) Cheers Werner On 08.12.2013 20:17, Mike Whisky wrote: > > My test program asks for a full power 30 bank stall. > M question is if this has been done by others and what is the aircrafts behavior.

    John, the idea behind that point is to simulate a large bank on a go around. It should not be done that way, but in Switzerland the test flying includes that program point. Cheers Werner On 08.12.2013 21:23, johngoodman wrote: > > That's a strange one for a non-acrobatic RV-10.

    Remember that stall depends on angle of attack, not airspeed. The raised wing has a slightly higher angle of attack due to the lowered aileron. The plane just falls out of the turn, if the ball is centered. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=415151#415151

    If you are forced to do such a test, I would load to near gross weight, and bring the power in very slowly. Someone should be able to explain what scenario it is supposed to duplicate. Flaps should be up for most any scenario including missed approach or go around, as there should be no turning before flaps are retracted.

    I'm thinking that the test is just a plain accelerated stall ..... and the stall should be occur about 20 knots above straight and level stall speed. So, at some comfortable speed 90 to 100 knots .... roll into the 30 degree bank and apply back pressure to hold altitude. The airspeed should decrease as you add back pressure until the stall occurs. Different airframes act differently. Some will roll to the outside of the turn and some will just drop the nose and roll to the inside. Let us know if that satisfies the test and what the resulting unusual attitude you get!!! I may be wrong, but this is my take.

    Technically yes it's an accelerated stall but at a 30 degree bank the load factor is only 1.15, so stall speed should go up 7.5% -about 5 kias. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=415159#415159
