Ted just posted to facebook that he had an inflight fire and landed 4nm off airport during his phase 1.   Ted is ok, but the rv-10's gear collapsed.  There was no mention as to the cause of the fire.

He posted some photos to facebook

Really sad, but good Ted walked away. Be interesting to know what happened?  does not look like any fire damage to the aircraft.

Ted posted the following to the local RV list:

 

Thank you for your concern. I have been busy today and finally get a chance to organize my pictures and thoughts.  Here is a link to my photos. It works as long as you click on this link.

 

https://picasaweb.google.com/tc1234c/4272011RV10Accident?authkey=Gv1sRgCPjmtviSyuKsQg#

 

I had a fuel fire while four miles up wind to runway 18. I discharged fire extinguisher to put off the fire that is outside of the tunnel. In a few seconds the blinding smoke filled the cabin (from paint or SCAT tube? not wires since there is only fuel pump and fuel flow sensor wires in there.). I turned the fuel selector to shut off the fuel supply . Since I could not see, I popped open the pilot side door and it quickly flew off. Now I saw that I have a pasture on my left. This is a hilly country with streams, trees and houses, not too many landing choices. Engine quit and I banked left sharply to make to the field. I saw a telephone line along the road and ducked down under it. As soon as I cleared the phone line I pull the nose up and the airplane impacted the ground (with the stall warning beeping) which is sloping up. The impact bent all three landing gears and absorbed the impact. I did not feel a very hard bump at all. The airplane slided uphill for a few hundred feet and stopped over the top of the hill. I got out and saw a little smoke still coming out under the tunnel. I grabbed my phone and camera and began calling 911. That began a very long day taking the statement and waiting for the FAA inspector. The only injury I sustained is a 1/8" size burn on my hand, no blister even. Our local TV station reported that I burnt my hand. It is a little exaggerated. 

 

This is the first accident I have had. I hope it is the last too. From this experience I learned a few things:

 

a. Whatever happens keep cool. 

b. Don't try to save your airplane, save yourself first.

c. Fly your airplane until you have no control of it.

 

I will open the cowling and tunnel cover after the airplane is brought back to my hangar and find what is the cause of the fire. At that time I will share with you my findings.

 

Be safe!

 

Ted

Interesting.  Glad he is safe and I hope he will share some honest detail regarding his fuel system and any modifications he made.

I guess that answers the question about being able to open a door in flight.   We now know it is possible.  I always wondered if it could be done or if the sucking action on the doors would cause so much friction at the pins that they wouldn't move.  That question is now answered (at least at maneuvering speeds).

Most importantly - I'm really glad he is safe.

I never thought the doors opening/flying off in air was an issue, they do  it without trying too! it was trying to close them/save them if they became open  that I always wondered about.

Has anyone considered putting a vent window on either door window, such 

as Bonanza, Piper, Mooney do? Might be awful handy to ventilate the 

cockpit without losing a door.

Looks and sounds like some really good flying by Ted.  Getting the thing under a power line and then a full stall touch down!?  Thank God he walked away.  

The fuel valve selector looks like it has a different handle on it.  Like the door handle supplied in the kit.  I wonder what valve he used.  I wish the tunnel was easier to access to inspect the fuel plumbing more often.

Tunnel Access Kit...

Actually looks like he had at least one of these on the pilot side.

Hmmm



Speaking of vents, has anyone put a vent in the tunnel. I am wondering if a

piece of tubing, facing rearward and mounted on the exterior skin under the

tunnel, could be used to keep negative pressure in the tunnel. 



Inquiring miinds need to know



Les



PS: I am very glad Ted was able to land safely. It sounds like he did an

amazing job in a very sticky situation.

"The fuel valve selector looks like it has a different handle on it."



That is the handle from Vans, supplied on kits after about March 2008. The "new" fuel setup has the (essentially) same valve but lower in the tunnel, with a long shaft up to the handle. There is an AN fitting on the line where it penetrates the tunnel, unlike the original design where it was a continuous piece of aluminum going thru a rubber grommet.



Handle appears to be in between left and right, which I guess is off. I'd have put it to the rear for a more positive 'off'.
