| Subject: | Lightspeed crank and ignition wire routing |
Finishing up baffling and looking to route Lightspeed crank sensor cable and lower
spark plug wire through baffling. First is whether to go above or below
engine with crank sensor and where to penetrate firewall? I have dual so wondering
about running them together.
Next how to get lower plug wire to bottom plug from coil on top of engine--maybe
silicone grommet thru baffling?

Mount the coils for the bottom plugs behind the engine baffle on the engine
mount via adle clamps, not on top of the engine. Mount the top plug coils
on top of the engine. This simplifies the coil to plug wiring.

That may be the best way--will have to get longer HV leads if I do that though.
How about the crank sensor leads--cross over under the engine then run parallel
to firewall?

Photos attached. I have dual LSE. RG400 coming out of top portion of firewall are
high tension coil wires. The bottom coils are attached to the engine mount.
The top coils are attached to the engine case. Crank sensor wires route across
the co-pilot side beneath the oil returns. I used both adel clamps and RTV where
required. The most important thing is to run the RG400 coil wires separate
from the sensor wires.
Cheers,

Hello my post today is to consider whether or not to take on a partner in the RV10
I've been building.
I live in Mound MN and own a hangar in Winsted MN where the aircraft would end
up when finished.
Pros and cons to a partner would be interesting to here, thanks.
If interested call Mike 612-590-8604 or (mike.nova1973@gmail.com)

| Subject: | Re: PARTNER MAYBE |
I'm building solo .... well, kinda ..... I have another RV-10 builder
that I can ask when I need help.
If you get a partner that is savvy .... or learns quickly ..... that is
a real help. My son-in law (now ex) was eager to work but his attention
to detail left a lot to be desired. I had to go over all his work and
fix it ..... more trouble than it's worth.
The other observation is that if you do get a partner, write down all
the details .... who does the work, contributes money etc ..... and get
it notarized. If the partner is just a warm body with a pair of hands
but contributes money to the project .... define how much your work is
worth against the moneys the partner contributes, and how much time you
expect him/her to contribute and put penalties in there if he doesn't
put in the hours agreed on. What makes it difficult is to assess the
'value' of the work you've performed, and the value of the partner
contribution ..... and how much of a share the partner will have when
the airplane is finished.
AOPA has a draft agreement for a flying aircraft partnership that may be
somewhat applicable .... or at least food for thought.

Looks good, one other thing--how about exiting the flywheel, how specifically do
you route and mount the sensor wires to get the clearance from rotating flywheel?
Do you mount an adel clamp to the sensor circuit board also?

The area where the sensor wires exit behind the flywheel has always bothered
me. I think I laced them together and clamped them as close to the bottom
seam of the case as possible and then back under the cyls. in a bundle with
some other engine sensor wiring. No problems at 550 hours.
An unrelated observation is that the advance at cruise power is always
within a degree or two of 25 same as the mag. That is unless I get to power
settings below about 60% such as above 10,000 or lower than normal manifold
pressures. I would really like to have two PMAGS if they would ever finish
work on them.

| Subject: | Re: PARTNER MAYBE |
I've had a partner in my -10 since before it was flying. I sold him half
just in time to pay for the engine and panel. He didn't participate in the
build much, if at all.
He's an experienced pilot and someone I had known for a few years. He has
another plane, too.
For me, it's been a great experience. Some of the good points:
+ Everything except fuel is half price: parts, insurance, hangar, GPS
subscriptions, repairs, etc. I guess we pay our own CFIs from time to time
too, but virtually everything is half.
+ I have someone to fly with (IFR currency) who knows the plane and
avionics at least as well as I do.
+ We used the AOPA agreement as a template, and massaged a few things here
and there.
+We use Google calendar to schedule. If it's on the schedule, it's pretty
much set in stone. Of course there are times when we discuss
who/when/where but the conflicts are few and far between. If we come to
loggerheads, which I don't really recall happening in seven years, we've
agreed to the final say being appointed to each of us in alternating
months--he gets the evens, I get the odds...or vice versa...I forget.
+ I do virtually all the maintenance, and he pays me half of what we agree
is a reasonable rate. If he helps out, our time cancels.
+ We've agreed to pay a weighted share of the engine overhaul. We log
every flight, so when the time comes, we'll do some bookkeeping and see how
even things are. He used to fly about two hours to my one, but at some
point I passed him in RV-10 time.
Of course you have to get along. If you can work out the little things,
it's a good deal. The plane flys more, which is usually good, and I do
too, since my gas budget gets a big boost!
