Hi all, wondering if anyone has recommendations on any better locations for
the throttle, prop, mixture and alternate air penetrations?
I'm just about to bolt my engine mount on for the last time and I haven't
drilled any holes for those 4 items yet. I`m wondering if the throttle and
alternate air holes could be below the other 2, or if it makes any
difference at all?
Thx, Rick

If you change the hole locations you will likely change your cable
lengths and it is no easy trick to figure what those lengths need to be
(ask me how I know).

I used the normal holes and was really disappointed. So I'm getting ready
to plug them with bolts and cut new holes in the recess. I'll be using the
Eyeball Penetrations to get the cables to pass through the firewall at the
appropriate angle.
If I had it to do again, I never would have drilled the factory holes. I
would have just plugged them with rivets and cut new holes.

If you are not using the method in the plans to penetrate the firewall (i.e.
something other than a bushing), then the holes in the plans will most
likely be too close together.
Mine are in the same general vicinity, but just spread out a little wider.

Yeah, I drilled to size and put the bushings in place. I found out that
they were too close together even with the bushings. There just wasn't
enough metal between the holes to support all the cables. The thin areas
between the holes have twisted and mangled pretty badly. So I'm punting on
that option while it's still easy to do.

Rick,
I did not like the alt air location, but I did like the standard Throttle,
Prop and Mixture placement. I made a new bracket out of .050 aluminum and
spread out the three controls just a little. The Oil Cooler air control
(black knob) and Alt Engine Air control (red knob) are located on the left
side of the apron. The two cabin heat controls (black knobs) are on the
right (didn't want the passenger to pull the alt air by mistake. Photo
attached. Cable firewall holes are generally in line with the control
mounting. If I was to do it over I would move the two cabin heat controls a
little further to the right.
I also added a single .063" piece of angle connected to the bottom apron
near the engine controls and the firewall. I was concerned there was too
much flex in the middle of the panel. Might be overkill.
I did find the throttle cable Van's recommends (47.5") to be too short. I
sent it back to Van's and got the one he lists for IO-360 (50.5"). This is
about an inch too long, but easily routed to make up the difference. The
stock cable was tight against the bottom of the engine (IO-540 from Van's).

Not that I'm aware of, but I did put a couple of the expired lithium

Thx Carl. I am presently fabricating stainless steel penetrations for my
F/W and thought about ganging the throttle, prop and mixture together on a

I think I will wait to drill the alt air.
Nice looking panel, quite similar to what mine will look like (except it's

Is the panel powder coated satin black or?

So Dave now owns the world's most expensive flashlight!
I have not seen any 406 ELTs that did not use Li batteries, either. Expensive batteries.
It does seem odd that the 406 system is advertised as being very fast at pinpointing
locations, but they also have long lasting (not needed??) batteries.

Speaking as a Civil Air Patrol (who goes and does the finding of downed
airplanes) member, while the 406 is great for getting us within a
hundred meters or so, the 406 ELT still has a homing beacon on it to get
us the rest of the way there, and it can take a few hours (or days, in
some cases) to get there, so the homing beacon part needs to work for a
little while.

I lot of people ask me where I got the panel powder coated =93 but
it is just PPG single stage paint. Dark gray for the panel and engine
plenum, light gray for the rest of the interior.
The is the second panel. As with my RV-8A I find there is always
something to change on the panel every few years or so. Using the stock
Van=99s panel with paint make panel mods relatively simple.

Not only do they not make with D cells, but you also need a lithium
battery for the remote control and on some models a third one for a
warning buzzer. So, yes the cost of batteries over 5 yr period is more
than double the old sealed battery pack ELTs and a lot more than the D
cell variety.

Rather than attempting to plug 5/8" or bigger holes with bolts, suggest
you get a piece of SS sheet metal, same thickness as firewall and rivet
it over the holes. Lighter, cleaner, more professional.

Has anyone attempted to engineer an automatic alternate air?? My fuel
injected Mooney has such, with a round disk attached to a hole cut so
that there is a metal cross with 4 openings rather than open hole. The
disk covers that, is held in place with a single bolt with a spring on
it pressing the disk in closed position. 3-4 lb force lifts the disk
enough for air to bypass the filter from inside cowling. Only downside
is you don't really know whether it has opened or not. I've seen 2 place
RVs that had similar arrangement with hinged rectangular door that was
spring loaded.

Yes, I thought about the homing function. But if the satellite fix gets you to
100 meters, do you really need it? I suppose for a team on the ground in very
heavy forest, the answer may be yes.

What timing! Friday mornings the airport hangar rats gather to discuss
aviation. There's a -7 and two -10 builders. Both the -7 builder and I
(-10 if you don't do math well) were discussing the FAB and the
connection to the lower cowl. The subject turned to carb heat and alt.
air. I dislike the Van's approach to alt. air and we brainstormed ....
how about a butterfly? Hmmm. I came home and this is what I came up
with ....
if the picture comes through.
The Van's alt air fitting opening is 2.5" which has a 4.9" square area.
The 'plank' is 1" X 5" and the 'tube' is 2.5" dia.
I'll probably use aluminum for the tube. ACS 6061 T6 03-38320 is only
4.35/ft. We talked about the butterfly being an ellipse rather than a
disk so it seals better.
There's plenty of room between the FAB and the lower cowl on the RV-10.
The 'dot' is centered on the hole in the FAB. Some fillet work and I'll
glass it right on the FAB.
Not an automatic alt air .... but better than Van's .... IMHO
