Joe,

    I think your CAPS LOCK is stuck on. Perhaps you might want to list a 

new keyboard?



Humor intended.

To me then it sounds as if you have something else wrong in

the system.  First, your flat ports had lots more error

than other people with those ports.  And now, your domed

ports have a similar amount of further error of of

domed ports.  It sounds like there's something else inherent

to your airframe or static system that's causing the problem

right now. Have you thoroughly leak checked it?

 I saw Richard at OSH this year, and ask him about the error, he said the 

 positioning was just a best guess, and you can put them anywhere if it 

 works. He didn't have a problem on his 10, he though his was right on 

 the money. Richard is the kind of guy you can talk to, to bad the people 

 that answer the support line don't share this attribute.

Looks like we're going to be blasted by a spammer here.

I see not only do we get the all-caps post, but now we

get more unrequested product info, and I got a personal

email of the same, obviously a harvested address.

When will people learn that this is a sure-fire way

to lose chances at business?

Joe, if you're legit, why spam everyone one every list and everyone to

their personal emails as well, AND, at the bottom of the email, you

don't even have a valid and legitimate Unsubscribe link.

This is the kind of thing that will bring you a very bad name.



Also, nice that you know enough to be "Joe AT mile-high-aviation.com"

to try to keep YOUR name off the spammer's lists, but when YOU'RE

the spammer, you'll harvest them all.  Joe(at)mile-high-aviation.com



This kind of business posting isn't the kind people are looking for.

Yep, I'll never use them.  I shot an email to Matt and I suggest others do also so he get's banned before we get much more.  I also submitted the domain to my blacklist providers.

In Australia, Tc'd or otherwise a set of balanced static ports satisfies the 

requirement for alternate air ( IFR). It would surprise me if we didn't copy 

that info from the FAR's somewhere.

Tim, I couldn't agree more.  When I saw the first posting, I was a bit

annoyed.  When I saw that a few other mailing lists that I am on also

got spammed by the same message, I got downright ticked off.  Joe, or

whomever you might really be, this is definitely one way to ensure you

won't get any business from the people on these mailing lists.  SPAM ==

EVIL.  Please stop.

Who says you have to build to part 23 requirements? CAR3 didn't require 

either one, and neither does Part 91. From what I see, as long as you 

meet Part 91 requirements you are good to go. I flew a CAR3 plane IFR 

for years without alt static and with plain old copper tube pitot . My 

Mooney has heated pitot, but no alternate static, and is IFR certified. 

As long as the static source is as called for on the RV-10 with a port 

on each side and connecting tube arching up to top of fuselage, it will 

take an awful lot to block both ports.

 Tim,

  

 Hard to break the face plate on the VSI as an alternate static air if 

 you have all glass!

If you want alternate static air and  have an EFIS, use a curtiss valve on

the panel into an AN female pipe thread T fitting. This will allow nylon

pipe thread to standard nylon lines into the static system. See attached

picture. See the valve to the left of the Chelton PFD.

Very nice panel.  One question: your switches and cb's seem kind of random...how did you determine what you wanted where?  I would have thought the switches would be grouped together and the cb's all together too?

 

 That said, I really like it.  Thanks for the photo.

Can we see photos of this bad boy installed? The hose side, not from the cabin.
