    Same here Phil. I found not being as aggressive at first would help. At some point my kids decided to play with it, luckily if have an AOA but the occurrences did drop. Also if you start riding on the mains with the nose gear off the ground slightly on t/o you won't get the horn as it will lift off when ready. My 2 cents.

    No I have not experienced that, not even doing soft field takeoffs (practice, don=99t fly in and out of soft fields).

I don't remember if the plans called for slotting the mounting of the vane. On all production planes with that type of vane, the screws allow adjustment of the vane up or down, which changes at what speed the vane activates. You didn't say what amount of flaps you are using, -3, 0 or 15 for takeoff..which will significantly change stall speed. I used to have my AOA squawk occasionally on rotation. I think I just increased rotation to 65-70. I use 15 degrees flaps for most takeoffs. I enjoy the elevator ride up for the first 500 ft until I get flaps retracted. -sent from the I-droid implanted in my forearm On Sat, Jun 10, 2017 at 8:02 PM, Phillip Perry <philperry9@gmail.com <mailto:philperry9@gmail.com> > wrote: I've got about 5 flights under my belt now and I've discovered a personality trend in the new airplane.

    Subject: Re: Fuel filter/gascolator screen advice
    The only change I made from the plans was to place two fuel filters one under each seat and a shutoff in the wing root.If debris clog one filter the second filter provides a source of fuel.The first 10 I built had the filter in the standard location and after the wrestling match of the first annual there was a seep that was finaly resolved with a bonnaco hose.An FAA inspector discussed with me a fatal crash he had investigated (not an RV] caused by a clogged automotive fuel filter.As a side note after 10 annuals I have never found significant debris in the main filters although the fuel injection filter had some debris . -----Original Message----- From: Gary Specketer <gspecketer@gmail.com> Sent: Fri, Jun 9, 2017 1:01 pm Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: Fuel filter/gascolator screen advice I too have found that cleaning the std filter is a pain. I have gone to doing a timed fuel flow to tell if the filter has lost any capacity. Way easier to do.

I have the standard Vans installation in the tunnel, and it is a pain to remove to check for debris. I did it on this year's condition inspection and it was absolutely clean except for one little spec of debris (like 1.0mm). I only inspect it every 2 years as it is a big job to deconstruct the fuel manifold and inspect the filter. I would secure another source for my fuel unless you have no option and then I would filter it through a chamois like they do in Mexico or get your own filter. If need be dispense the fuel into cans and then filter it. > > -------- > See you OSH '17 > Q/B - flying 7 yrs. > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=469921#469921 > > > > > > > > >

    I think your initial rotation is at a higher angle of attack than any other time in your flight. Bending it more would change something, so start with that. That is how I got mine to beep at the right speed. > On Jun 10, 2017, at 8:06 PM, Phillip Perry <philperry9@gmail.com> wrote: > > I've got about 5 flights under my belt now and I've discovered a personality trend in the new airplane.

    Armchair quarterback here ..... My analysis of the original post is that at rotation the aircraft is still moving parallel to the runway and at a high angle of attack ..... hence the beep which is short because the relative wind changes. I've become used to aircraft that gives you two warnings before the stall, the first is a change in noise as the wing skins suffer from the detaching laminar flow and then the stall warning prior to a true stall. The vane on Van's stall switch is easily bent, either up or down, and I've had to reposition mine because it's been bumped during building. I wasn't going to install the switch but then what do you do with the hole in the leading edge? So it's there and is wired. That may change if I find it's useless to me. So, go gather some stall speed data and tweak the vane. Up to blow the horn at a lower airspeed, down for higher (I think) ;-).

    Subject: Re: Stall Warning at Rotate?
    I was going to fly it again this afternoon but the winds are a little more than I want to take on this early in Phase 1. Maybe this evening. The configuration is Flaps 0. The technique has been to roll down the run way until 65 KIAS and then ease back to fly. The aircraft is nowhere near stalling, despite the brief beep of the horn. To this point, I've only stalled it in the full-flaps position. Stalls at 55 and the horn begins about 60. I'll have to try it again in a Flaps 0 position. But I haven't wanted to spend a lot of time at low power settings unless its absolutely necessary until the engine gets further into the break-in process. The stall warning horn does appear to be perfect for full flaps though. When landing with flaps 30, just as I pull the nose up to really get into the flare, it blows and then the wheels squeak in. It doesn't mean it can't be tweaked more though. My thought is that, as pressure built under the wing with airspeed (IE: ground effect) that the bubble was sucked up around the leading edge briefly as the angle increased and the stall warning vane was just in the way. But then again, there's no buffet, it's solid. Next step is to try the recommended technique of full aft, ride the mains as long as possible, and then let it fly off. I'll follow that with stall test later on in in the T/O configuration. Thanks for the advice. There's a few things here I can improve on with technique and also a few test I can perform on the plane. Hoping to go again this evening if the winds settle down a bit more.

    Hi FWIW I put my fuel filters n the wing roots. I did at one point have them under the seats. Under the seats is just a little less inconvenient than the tunnel. Even though I put an access panel in the tunnel, I wanted to be able to inspect the filters quickly and easily. All I need do now is to remove the top root cover and the filters are out in a couple of minutes. I also wanted to minimize connections inside the cockpit and near the exhaust. I used Earls Performance fuel filters which have worked out quite well. The filters screens are easily removed and cleaned.
