 |
|
I am getting ready to start the leading edges of my wings and plunk down some more money for accessories. I intend on purchasing the Gretz 1000 heated pitot, the Duckworks HID landing lights, and the AFS AOA. After reviewing the archives several of you had said that you were putting the light and the AOA on the last bay. Any feedback on how that worked out as far as space and ease of maintenace for the future? I was also looking at simply closing the stall horn holes and not installing it, as others have done. Does any body flying think that is something I should still install? Finally any other tips or gotchas out there. I have been all over Tim's and Deems's sites...pretty much live on those, and Mike Howe's also. Thanks for your feedback.

Eric, FWIW If I were doing it over I would move the Gretz mount 1
bay/rib closer to an access panel/hole than where I mounted it.

Hi Eric...
I finished my leading edges not that long ago. Instead of ordering/installing
any of the accessories, I left the outer rib clecoed, so I could order and
install accessories some time later.
With the stall warning gizmo, I had not even considered not installing it, since
it's such a useful thing to have. Are people just forgoing the mechnical stall
indicator, for the AOA, or replacing it with something better?

Jae, I decided to forego the mechanical stall warning.
One still has to fill the little stall warning locator holes in both
leading edges.
I don't know of a real good way, but filled mine with West System
epoxy made really thick with their high density filler.
If you do that, you may want to wax and tape the skin to make cleanup
easier, but not right at the holes...

intresting thead. this gets a little long and I am not using an e-mail with
spelling so this is witen in what I call ACS (artisic crative spelling)
It has been quite a long time since I finished 325HP acualy almost 4
aircraft ago (or was it 5?). I am not a really big proponet of AOA units I
have installed two different units on three different aircraft with limited
end usfullness, by that I mean once you have goten all the nice lights and
or dials to hit red as soon as the nose falls over you prity well have the
aircarft under control and know were you are. However, The RV-10 with its
large CG envlope, Large paylode weight, Large theator of operations (very
much unlike a KitFox)I noticed that an AOA unit would be NICE, I aualy had
the stock stall warning set up so when it squaked I knew that it was time
to add some speed and power. Solo, or with two people I rarly ever had the
stall warning go off but with pepole in the back it was usual.
Anyway
I thought that A little more fuel would be nice.
the HID ligts in the leading edges are almost a must.
The Gretzs pitot tube with the power saving, pitot tube saving, good
fealling LEDs to tell you it is On and Hot or cold is great (it gose aft of
the spar not in the leding edge.
My thoughts, your milage will (and should) vary.

The AoA's are generally much better at showing stall information (when
was the last time you saw a jet with a stall tab). Because I am going
with the AoA Pro, I for one didn't see the point of putting the old
mechanical tab out there.
