I have recently gotten partners in my RV-10, and we are converting it from my old
LS1 engine, to a new IO-540 from Van. I'd like to get some input on several
areas.
First, The Red Cube - Tunnel or on the engine?
Next, Remote Oil Filter - AirWolf, B&C, or the standard? Would like to know how
messy it can be with any of them.
Cables or Actuators - Any comments on these for the Oil Cooler, and the heat deflectors
would be appreciated.
Tips on what not to do on baffling also appreciated.
Fire away!

Subject: RV10-List: Transition Training
I seem to be striking out on transition trainers. Anyone have leads on transition
trainers. I have tried Alex and David, both are not training right now and
was told Oregon was a bad place to fly over next few month by tech crew at Vans
and they did not know of any others that could train. Any thoughts or suggestions
or should I just shut down after airworthiness inspection for next several
months.

I prefer the fuel transducer on the engine - much more accurate. I didn't
like the inaccuracy when the electric fuel pump is on. No opinion on the
rest...

Engine. Too many people have had fuel flow inaccuracies due to
turbulence caused by the boost pump.
> Next, Remote Oil Filter - AirWolf, B&C, or the standard? Would like to know how

I stayed with the standard oil filter since I didn't see a need to
change. I've been changing them a long time and don't make any messes.
> Cables or Actuators - Any comments on these for the Oil Cooler, and the heat

I have a problem with dumping the oil cooler air into the dead space in
the lower corner of the cowl. I have thought about a collector plenum
that dumps into the exit air, but the muffler mounting gets in the way.
The deflector would be a good idea .....
> Tips on what not to do on baffling also appreciated.
I modified my baffling and cowl to accept a Sam James plenum. I did not
make the baffling according to Sam James, but modified his plenum to fit
the Vans baffling. We'll see how well I did in the coming year.

- Red cube. Both places work. The tunnel is easier but will reflect some
error when the boost pump is running. I have it in the tunnel and use the
boost pump for takeoff, landing and when shifting tanks. Total fuel used
is always within a half a gallon on fill up (400 hours on the plane).
- Standard oil filter. Put a cup under it when changing oil filters and you
don't lose a drop.
- I greatly prefer the standard push/pull throttle, vernier prop and vernier
mixture controls - and others prefer a quadrant. For cabin heat, oil cooler
butterfly valve and engine alt air I used these cables:
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/a730.php For a smaller
footprint on the panel these work as well:
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/buttondashctrl.php
- The stock oil cooler mount is, in my opinion, a poor design. The air
needs to first change direction by bounding off the firewall, then change
directions again when exiting the cooler. I mounted an AirFlow System 2006X
cooler horizontally on the firewall on the left side. It gets the standard
4" hose from the left side of the engine baffle via a 4" butterfly valve.
This cooler works well. I have never had an oil temp problem. The butterfly
valve is required however even on mild days to keep temps about 180.
- The stock cabin heat valves are horrible for blasting hot air back onto
the engine right where you have your mechanical fuel pump. I put a piece of
this stuff between the valves and the firewall (holes cut out for cabin air
flow) and draped the material over the top and front of the valves:
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/pages/ap/insulation/koolmat.php This way on
your hot day when these valves are shut the heat muff air is deflected down
and away from the engine.
- For cabin heat cut one 2" hole in the rear baffle for a single hose, then
a Y to run the separate hoses to each heat muff. Even then you might find a
need to put a restrictor in line as you get a boatload of cabin heat. So
less air is fine for cabin heat and on a hot day you are stealing less air
from engine cooling.
- If using the standard cowl, then get the stock Van's baffle kit. I made
my own as I'm using a plenum.
- On first flight leave the air damn off the front of #1 and #2 cylinders.
Add them once you get some CHT data. Cut them down as needed to get the
right CHT balance.

John,
I prefer the red cube on the engine. Here are a couple pictures of a
bracket I make for the red cube. It just mounts to the studs that secure
the servo. Made from steel similar to Van's other brackets.
I like the B&C 90* filter. If I have time, I punch a couple holes in the
top and then let it sit for a few hours. Then I can unscrew the filter and
it doesn't even drip.
We just replaced our baffles after about 1200 hours--long story but we went
from soft silicone baffles, which worked great, to some pretty expensive
material that was supposed to reduce vibration to the cowl since it's
teflon coated and theoretically not as "sticky". It was kind of hard to
work with compared to the silicone, and I don't notice any improvement in
smoothness.

John, Just completed my -10 in the last 9 months, 36 hrs TT, so to
paraphrase Stein my .02 worth.
Red cube under the front of the engine above the fuel servo. Easy to mount,
service, no issues etc and one less set of connections in the tight
inaccessible tunnel, and in the cabin where the smell of fuel is a bad
thing.
I have a 90 degree oil filter adapter so no opinion on the remote mount.
I had to re-buy 2 of the 3 engine control cables from MacFarlane due to
placement of my F/W penetrations and ease of routing. Highly recommend
mounting the engine and then measuring for the required lengths. Vans
cables don't appear to be as high a quality as the MacFarlane cables, but
just my opinion.
I bought an oversized oil cooler, Air Flow Systems 2007X model. I think it
is supposed to have 17% more cooling. I have no issues with oil temps.
My baffling is per the plans. Close off every little hole you can find.
>From the very first flight I have had no problems with CHT's and I have 9:1
compression so I probably make a little more HP.
Good luck.

| Subject: | January Wx Advice |
Hi
In early January I am thinking of flying from Alberta Canada (think Montana) to
Orlando Florida.
The north west weather I am familiar with (that's why I going to Florida). What
I am wondering about is the weather enroute. Typically is the weather that time
of year reasonable? Somewhere along Nebraska / Kansas / Arkansas / Alabama
/ Georgia etc.
Also, are there any short term hanger options that anyone can recommend near WDW
(Orlando)?
Cheers & and thanks for the advice.
Les

Typical weather in FL is very nice unless a front is coming through. I could probably
tuck you in the hangar at X35 for a little while. How long are you thinking?

My advice is to follow a front down. Good tailwind and low humidity typically
produce some nice flying. I fly back and forth fro St. Louis to Ft. Myers typically
5 times over the winter. You can expect some marginal wx at some point
on your route that time of year.

We recently did some avionics upgrades to add ADS-B functions and a few
other bells and whistles.
I installed a Garmin GTX345 and a Flightstream 210. The shop I bought it
from helped me configure the new goodies once it was fired up.
It works very well. We have ADS-B traffic and weather displayed on a 530.
The transponder and Flightstream each bluetooth to Foreflight so we have
the ADS-B products there as well.
One cool thing the Flightstream does is to transfer the flight plan back
and forth--change it on the 530 or the iPad and it's just a few clicks to
update the other. It's even relatively intuitive.
The wiring was a pain but now that it's done I'm glad we did the upgrade.
