John, This must be modification/enhancement # 387, I'm going to start a
pool based on your 10's 1st flight/completion date: The earliest
selection possible is Jan 20, 2020 (That's my pick). Anybody interested
just send me $10 and the date you pick, I'll put the money in an escrow
account. The person closest to the actual date without going over/beyond
takes it all (Oh yeah and John and his family members are excluded from
entering !) I'll post the estimates/selections on my web site. Very Happy

PS. John, Looking forward to seeing you (at) Copperstate this Sat,

For one, I will not be permanent riveting floor panels. I will use a
0.25” composite panel which is fastened into nut plates for ease of
removal and inspection. I also see value in access to the instrument
panel area. I will group bundles and separate their runs so each has
the ability to shed heat independent of a specific run. There are
specific circuits which tend to create the largest percentage of heat
issues. Each aircraft is unique. Tim did a great job posting his loads
and analyzing this issue. I will never intentionally load a wire
circuit above 80% of its rated carry capacity. I will be using welding
wire for the battery terminals, starter leads and heavy intermittent
amperage flows.

The good news is we don’t run electrical wire through our fuel tanks
intentionally. I will use only aviation rated circuit breakers. No
automotive (save a nickel) corner cutting. I have already had an
onboard fire on a 1978 Ford. Nuf learned.

A separate issue is grounding and twisted wire bundles to reduce
avionic interference. All of this is best covered elsewhere.

All valid points, John.

I would like to point out that one of the challenges that I found as
the RV-10 comes together is getting the wire runs 100% done before I
riveted those floor panels down permanently and before skinning and
installing the wings. Call it convenience if you will, but I ended up
doing 90% of my wire runs through the conduit long after those areas
were sealed up. I certainly didn't make that decision lightly. I
realize that I deviated from a perfect world to make things come together.

Are you going to stay away from conduit altogether? How do you plan on
inspecting the wires under the baggage floor area?

Jim

Jim, should we conclude that a heated wire bundle can be located
quicker in Van’s black corrugated due to heat shrink. And
conversely, your PEX will mask the heat increase till the wires
fuse? You were right that it is about heat. Should PEX be
translucent? cause overheated wire is insulated with a product so
that there is a marked and visible color change with excessive
heat increase. Three distinct stages just like skin burns. Tim has
some good shots. I had forwarded him the same presentation in
Living Color. It is all about identification of an impending issue
before reality sets in during flight. Otherwise the discussion
migrates to inflight backup systems / vacuum gages, fire
annunciation, fire suppression and software to identify the safest
and quick route to the ground with a safe departure from the aircraft.

Always use the lightest gage, the shortest run, the highest
quality to meet the task and to inspect for impending potential
problems. Wiring by its nature functions in a hostile environment.

Working graves tonight. Arrive CGZ tomorrow after flying on a company
asset in the AM. Staying in Scottsdale for six days five nights (No
Holiday Inn for me). Cellphone 503-453-6016. Money in my pocket for
Scott/Ray and Ranae's avgas. I want to see an RV-10 grand champion
before my completion. Don't make me go to Sun 'N Fun! Oh yeh, if some
other RV-10 wins it, I will pony up for them and the Schmidt's can walk
home.

Deems - add five days to the 1/20/2020 date for going to Copperstate.

Per Dave's request How about we meet (at) Van's (at) 9:00 instead of 10? will
that work for every one. (Dave has to be back up North early Sat).

Nice to see the Humor! Very wonderful.

John Cox might be finished before me. My five year old daughter is growing
up too fast and the hours in the shop pass bye just as fast too.

Man that VS fiberglass fairing had a crappy shape to it. Poor tooling or
pulled from the mold way too early. There is some unexpected weight
addition in filler compound!

JOhn G. 409 finishing up everything on the tail section, everything! I
think?

Unfortunately the fiberglass work doesn't get any better as you
progress, the wing tips are not symmetric, and the cabin cover looks
like it was chiseled from a rock. A Special Thanks to Gary Specketer who
provided the tip on UV Smooth Prime, I'm working on the Cabin Cover
interior and just had an opportunity to use it yesterday for the 1st
time. It's GREAT stuff, applies easy with a sprayer, dries quickly,
sands even easier, and cleans up with water!

THANKS Gary

Hugo,

The name is actually UV Smooth Prime and it's made by Polyfiber. You
can find it from Spruce
<http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cmpages/09-28290.php>. It's been
around for a long time and is very popular with the fiberglass builders.
It's claim to fame is it's ability to kill pinholes in addition to
having a UV blocker.

I better purchase those fans for the shop as my shop is my subterainian
basement beneath my house. This is why I didn't build a fiberglass ship. I
don't want to end up with a beautiful airplane but a family member with
cancer.

Open all the window in the house and blow the air out of the shop, thus
pulling the air down into the shop out of the house. Lucky I am in
California!

I'm doubly anxious to see a real live completed -10. I got a few
moments to look at Doug Petersens over a year ago. I learned, much to
my dismay, that Vans only brought an RV-7A to Copperstate. The only
remaining event this year they will bring a 10 to is AOPA Expo.
