I made my own two hoses (servo to cube, cube to spider):
4 ea Eaton Hose Fitting F66000-4 (ACS part 05-01320) Aeroquip clamps for
hose ends, and to clamp firesleeve to red cube - Aeroquip Clamp 900591B-2C,
-1C, and -3C.
Aeroquip Firesleeve AE102-8 (5 feet)
Aeroquip Firesleeve AE102-24 (1 foot)

For those of you who have installed the EDS-4ip system from Mountain High, have
any of you found a method to shove the tubing over the barbs fully?
I've never given birth to a child, personally, but I'm pretty sure this is what
it's like.
Hopefully there is a well-known lubricant out there that won't damage the electronics
inside the distribution units.
Or perhaps you can give me a tip to become more dilated. Either way, something
has to give.

I don't have that system but I've always slightly warmed the tubing with a heat
gun....carefully. I bought some of that tubing type and I think that would help
a lot. Don't warm it too far back or it gets too flexible on the pushing
area.

| Subject: | Loehle aircraft and airplane paint |
RV-10ers,
After some years of building and lurking on the list I am ready to pain
t my =9210. I have been using Loehle Aircraft primers for the fiberglass pa
rts and I would like to do the same for painting the metal. However I have
been unsuccessful in contacting Loehle Aircraft by telephone nor e-mail aft
er repeated attempts over the last two weeks. Does anyone know if something
has happened to Loehle Aircraft?
Also, do you listers have suggestions (of course you do) for a different
, easily usable paint system in case I can=92t get more Loehle material?
Regards,
Nick Gautier

That's the secret. The heat worked.
We don't plan on having any more kids. But just in case we do, I'm going to keep
a spare heat gun behind the seat of the truck.
It's way cheaper and faster than medication....

Not familiar with the system specifically, but when faced with barbed
fittings I dip the ends of the tubing in boiling water and the barbs
seem to go in easily.

No data on Loehle ......
I cleaned the aluminum parts with lacquer thinner and then acid etched
just prior to painting the primer. I used Sherwin Williams acrylic
enamel automotive paint (FPC135W which is their white fleet paint) and
the FP410 primer. I did not want to use the two stage base coat/clear
coat because I saw what the professionals produced on lots of cars on
the road.

I live neat them and he painted my 10 8 years ago. I know that they
have had some health issues, and I will see if I can get in touch with
them.

| Subject: | Low max static RPM |
Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced what I am.
I'm just about ready for first flight in my RV-10 (inspection's done, paperwork's
back.. it's legally an airplane now, so just doing some final tidying up (and
waiting for a good weather day).
I have a Lycoming YIO-540-D4A5 with an MTV-12-B prop and Hartzell S-1-32 governor
- pretty much stock Van's recommended equipment, and supplied directly by them.
During a static engine runup, I only got to a maximum RPM of 2500... and
from what I understand, 2650 is closer to what I should be shooting for. So
I adjusted the max RPM adjustment screw on the governor and tried again, but there
was no change (and the governor arm does touch the high RPM screw on when
set to max RPM)
The shop that assembled my MTV-12-B, as well as Hartzell and Van's have all suggested
that the low pitch stop may be limiting the static RPM (another suggestion
they made was to ensure my tach was reading accurate. I don't have an optical
tachometer to check it, though I could buy one if it's worth doing... though
since my RPM is monitored through an Advanced Flight Systems sensor that goes
on an magneto, it doesn't seem likely to me that there would be a small error...
digital as I believe it is, I would suspect it to either work perfectly,
or not at all).
In any case, has anyone else run into something like this? A friend of mine with
a flying RV-10 has mentioned he does get in the neighbourhood of 2650 on his
takeoff roll... though his engine produces closer to 300 HP vs my 260 HP, and
he has a different governor than I do as well. My reading also wasn't really
on a takeoff roll - I was stationary, and though I tried accelerating a bit,
never got up to more than maybe 20 knots before I powered back, so perhaps it
will increase a bit once I start moving. Density altitude at the time was around
minus 500 feet due to temperatures at about -10 degrees C.
It's a new engine from Lycoming, so I want to run it as little as possible on the
ground, giving it a proper breakin while flying. My thoughts are that 2500
RPM should still be more than adequate for takeoff power on a first flight (cold
temperatures here, no significant obstacles, light weight in the airplane,
etc.) and then I might tweak either the governor more and/or low pitch stops
a bit between subsequent flights to see if I can increase my takeoff RPM a bit.
Just wondering - has anybody else run into anything like this, or have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Dan
