Hi  

   

I have been wandering through the Van’s website looking for bits and bobs to order along with a replacement for a piece of aluminium I turned into scrap today.  

   

I noticed that there is an aileron trim kit and was wondering how necessary it is on the -10. Any comments? I seem to remember reading that the aileron trim was not as necessary on the -10 as rudder trim.   

   

I also saw *somewhere* some barrel connectors used to connect wires between the wings & the fuse. Does anyone have a part number for these connectors?  

   

Inquiring minds need to know

On the connectors, CPC Series 1 or 2 from www.mouser.com.  Stein's molex pin crimp tool is great for the series 1 and the D-sub crimper for series 2 (the Series 2 machined closed barrel pins are the same as the D-sub pins, but are only good up to 20 gauge wire, I think).

Rudder trim is far more of a “nice but not really necessary” option than aileron trim. The trim kit is very easy to install at any point or even after the plane is finished. Put the 5 wire cable in place during construction and plan ahead for space of the IP for a switch and indicator and you would be ready to add trim later. The kit is about $350 ordered as an option. Rudder trim at cruise can be a simple tab or wedge on the rudder as required but many of us would like to have adjustable rudder trim.

I'm not so sure....  If I were to be forced to choose today between

my rudder trim and my aileron trim, it would be a very hard choice.

The rudder trim I would never do without if I ever built another plane.

The spring bias aileron trim though isn't all that fantastic

in how it works.  The -10 does have long tanks, so fuel imbalance

can happen pretty easily, so I really don't think I'd build a -10

without aileron trim either, but I don't find that I use it as much

as I use my rudder trim.



To me, they're probably both things that would be very smart to

wire for, because I think most people would really want both once

they've had the time to fly behind them both.

Les,  

            One more suggestion… RV-8 QuickBuild?   

            Just a suggestion. What, I’m the only smart ass left on the RV-10 list?
