Eric:



I am still in the wing section and bought the same fittings for the vent 

line.  Placed them in the left tank and ran the tube 1/2 way down thru 

the baffles.  That way the return fuel will cool and dump into the 

middle of the tank.  I'd be glad to send a pic of where I put the exit 

if you want one. 



Does any body have any information on roll trim?  Necessary?    Got 

asked that question and have not run across any information yet.  I know 

a lot of the RV 's have heavy wings and require a trim tab on one of the 

ailerons.  How is that different?  When and where should that be 

installed? 



Thanks

With 30 gallon tanks that are pretty long, the -10 sometimes requires

a bit of Aileron trim, and it varies depending on your passengers and

fuel.  I've found it much more necessary than on the Sundowner I flew,

because those tanks didn't go out from center as far.  Shorter and

longer across the cord.  It's a worthwhile option on the -10 though.

Easy to install. just mounts on one wing access plate and moves the

aileron pushrod with a bias spring and servo arrangement.

I agree with Tim.

  

 Roll trim is a must.

Why doesn't fuel  management to maintain similar levels in the left and right tank  work?

I'm not saying that wouldn't help, but whereas some people switch

tanks back and forth a lot, some don't, and I do notice the -10

seems to get a heavy wing pretty easily based on loading

and fuel.  So the easiest is just to compensate for both passengers

and fuel.  But, you do have a point that proper fuel management

helps to reduce the reliance.  I still recommend it though.
