| Subject: | Balancing the Elevators |
Guys
When I built the Elevators of my RV-9A (more than 10 years ago), I seem to remember
that the manual said to balance them, either adding or taking off some weight
to/from the lead blocks which are bolted to the Elevators' arms.
I can't find any similar instruction in the RV-10 manual.
Is it to be done?
Did you do it yourself?
Best

No balancing is necessary for the 10.
Just attach the weights and continue as per the plans.

There is a balance specification, which is in the finishing instructions,
right along with the required range of travel. I don't know why they don't
put it with the control surface completion, since you need to remove the
control surface to accurately balance. I plan to do mine when I get the
plane painted.

| Subject: | Fuel line testing |
Getting ready to pressurize from fuel servo back to wing root testing for leaks.
Should there be any concern about pressurizing backwards through mechanical
and electric fuel pump? Don't want to blow a diaphragm or whatever the configuration
is in there.

I don't think there really is a concern, but I chose to test by vacuum.
One thing I'd mention is that me fuel valve is going to leak by in the body between
your right and left tanks. When it's flowing fuel and operating near neutral
pressures, it will seal up. But when you put pressure (or vacuum on it) it
will leak by the seals/o-rings internally. Took me a while to figure that
out.
I'd suggest testing segments as opposed to the whole thing because of the complexity
of the fuel valve leaking. But it can be done as long as you're ready for
it.

Hope to have a final report over the next day or so. I've been absent for a
bout 3 weeks dealing with a death in the family and then right back down to H
ouston making trips post Harvey to get my parents out, and back, and out, ba
ck to get setup again too.
I made a flight today that really looked good. Hope to confirm some if it i
n the next day or so and then once I know it's good I'll claim victory.
