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 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.

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....

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'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!
