Currently in the first annual at 135TT. Just installed the new Matco axle. Very easy install. Installed an addtional Odyssey 680 on the firewal. pictures enclosed. found some surface corrosion on the aileron torque tubes ; removed and treating with AVL externaly and internally Found slight seap of 5606 at the hard line bulkhead fitting at the tunnel for left main. Probably caused the left line to suck a little air and drag the left brake. left brake worn more than right, will replace both and new tires. My guess is that the tires have 250-300 landings. Horizontal stab bulkhead shows no stress whatsoever; we used Hi-Locs to install stab into he longerons. Found some abraison on the right side of tunnel caused by left rudder pedal linkage bolt Will put a thin delrin sheet on the side of the tunnel or perhaps stainless.

Yet another thing to keep an eye out for at annual time...
I just finished the bulkhead reinforcement SB as the first part of my first annual and found a bad bearing on one of the elevators - it almost feels like grit is in it. It wasn't noticeable through the control stick or when moving the elevators themselves but when disassembled it was very clearly an issue.
Check those planes carefully!

Another item to check at annual time.Backup EFIS Battery. Run the EFIS on backup and time how long it takes to go flat. Don't just assume you have what is documented on the backup battery.Jim C (N312F - Flying - 55+ hours)-----------------------------------------------------------> RV10-List message posted by: "bcondrey" <bob.condrey(at)baesystems.com>Yet another thing to keep an eye out for at annual time...I just finished the bulkhead reinforcement SB as the first part of myfirst annual and found a bad bearing on one of the elevators - it almostfeels like grit is in it.

my avionics backup battery is trickle charged every time the engine runs. Health of the battery is apparent each time avionics are booted prior to engine start.

But that never runs the battery down. How many of us expect the battery to last the "Hour" or so that is documented by the manufacturer. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the battery didn't go the last mile when needed. I do expect to "Test" it at each annual just to verify its proper operation.Just wondering what if anything others are doing to very the backup battery is good. Replace it on "Time" or test to verify it's operation?Jim C (N312F - Flying)Do Not Archive-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------my avionics backup battery is trickle charged every time the engine runs.Health of the battery is apparent each time avionics are booted prior toengine start. _____From: owner-rv10-list-server(at)matronics.com[mailto:owner-rv10-list-server(at)matronics.com] On Behalf Ofjim(at)CombsFive.ComSent: Sunday, April 12, 2009 8:06 AMTo: rv10-list(at)matronics.comSubject: Re: Re: annual inspectionAnother item to check at annual time.Backup EFIS Battery.

Also not a bad thing to do at least once under day VFR in flight to get actual activity on the unit being powered by the backup battery, then to compare it to static battery life for comparison purposes.

Since I lived up north for most of my life I have always replaced my battery at every annual. In our cars we replace them every 2 to 3 years to make sure we don’t get stranded. I plan on the same schedule on my 10. You can always use a spare battery for non critical non aviation uses around home.

Some what unnecessary in cold climates. In 22 yrs in Fairbanks never replaced a battery in less than 5 years. Cold weather may reduce the cranking ability at extreme cold temps by slowing the reaction, but has little impact on the capacity or life. Hot weather, such as Aridzona accelerates sulfation of the plates and vehicles that have batteries unprotected in the engine compartment rarely get more than 2 year life.

I used a 680 for starting the Glastar. It lasted from 11/2003 until replaced 10/2008. It was still starting the aircraft but would hesitate if not used for several days. That was 500 hours and at least three starts per week. You might want to consider Odyssey batteries. On my certified C177RG which I owned from 1976- 2005, the FAA PMA Gill never lasted more than 2 years. I have Odyssey 680s in the 10.
