Listers:  

   

Issue:  want to log some more hours in something with a constant-speed prop.  What aircraft that I might find somewhere at local flight schools might be most “like” an RV-10?    

   

My best idea so far is a DA40 - has a center stick, constant speed, a little low on the HP  

   

Other ideas?

Not all that much like an RV-10, but you can use an Arrow  to get both constant speed and complex time.  It's low wing, but certainly  not as powerful as the RV.  Some flight schools have the Katana, which is  the older 2-seat version of the DA-40.  That has constant speed.   Uncomfortable as hell, though.  If you don't mind high wing, find a  182.  Often the CAP folks rent out their 182's.  Helps pay their  bills.

If you are renting be sure and have some short term  renter's insurance. You don't want the rentor's insurance company subrogating  against you. The financial impact of even an incident is guaranteed to  complicate  the RV10 build.

Tim,  

   

I wouldn’t worry about trying to find something that “like” an RV-10 because you really won’t.  Find something that’s fixed gear and constant speed and go with it – that will get you in the groove of dealing with the blue knob.  I don’t know what you’re used to flying but it’s likely that the two biggest transition areas are going to be speed management and the avionics.  If you’re going with a G900 panel and can find a rental with a G1000 and constant speed prop that would be ideal.  The stick will take just a few minutes to get used to.

Also need to make sure it is high performance.  Will need that sign off.  >200HP.  Beech Sierra won’t work, or anything else with a 200HP motor.  Don’t know what is in a DA-40.

The Arrow is usually classified as high performance, if  memory serves.  But, you certainly don't need complex.  I think a  Dakota would be the other Piper choice, maybe even a better solution.  You  just need to be familiar with handling the prop, so really anything that has 210  and over in horsepower and a constant speed should be okay.

Only the 210 hp Turbo Arrow would be high performance. The 180hp and 

most common 200hp Arrows are only complex, not HP. Of the low wing 

variety only the SR20 and 22 are going to be similar. Piper Dakota or 

PA-28-235 Pathfinder would work.

In fact older SR22's are selling for about what a nice RV-10 costs to 

build. Lancair/Columbia/Cessna 350 might work but is a bit hotter and 

higher hp.

Kelly's correct.  Now I remember getting short tempered when I had to pay

extra to rent the Turbo Arrow to get the high performance rating.

Just as long as that entry in your logbook doesn't come under scrutiny by

the FAA or an insurance company. If its certified as 200HP, the FAA is not

concerned that somebody has tests showing 201HP for a given engine.

If it has the Lycoming IO360 engine, it IS a 200 hp engine. There are not any certified versions for fixed wing with higher rated horsepower. Even the STC for 10:1 compression pistons requires de-rating MP to limit the engine to 200 hp. It doesn't matter what the engine dyno's at, other than FAA limit is +5% of rated power.

 It is rated HP that matters for the HP endorsement. If school is endorsing based on some phony marketing rating, they and their students risk FAA action.

 Actually, there are a couple of normally aspirated Arrows out there with 201 HP engines -- there's one at my flight school which is used for both complex and HP training.

Isn't the regulation that it must be GREATER than 200 (ie 201) or it doesn't qualify for H.P.?  I think if anything that the manufacturers would UNDER list them so they could sell more planes and have a larger customer base by not having them forced to have an endorsement to fly it.

You are correct. Only TCM makes an IO-360 rated at more than 200hp, as 

in 220RV, the 210hp engine. Used in very few certified aircraft without 

turbocharging.

 customer base by not having them forced to have an endorsement to fly it.

I submitted a proposal to the FSDO to give transition  training in my RV10 commercially. I included that I would include the HP  endorsement if necessary. They came back to me and said that I must agree not to  give the HP endorsement. as it could be accomplished in certified aircraft. They  acknowledged that I would have to train to HP proficiency but could not  signoff  per the agreement. I had given consideration to providing RV10  transition for the Southwest. I already had concluded that it was at best a  breakeven deal, The rules on the HP endorsement were the proverbial straw  which made the decision for me..

  

  

 For those of you needing transition training: If you  have 500-1000+  hours and a CFI friend with an RV10. It may be  possible to be added to his policy as named insured a no additional cost. He  cannot legally charge you for his time or aircraft but you can pay the  operational expenses for the flight. This works only if your insurance  requirements are small and your total time is relatively high. Otherwise your  best solution may be OR or TX at $200+ per hour plus living and transportation  expense.

It is rated HP that matters for the HP endorsement. If    school is endorsing based on some phony marketing rating, they and their    students risk FAA action.

Actually,      there are a couple of normally aspirated Arrows out there with 201 HP      engines -- there's one at my flight school which is used for both complex      and HP training.

I have only had my “free” flight in an RV-10 so my opinion may not be all that accurate but I’d recommend Cessna 206 time.  Those might be a bit easier to find in the rental fleet.  The rate the 206 comes out of the sky at idle felt pretty similar to power off in the 10.  I’ve got about 200 hours of 206 time and it seemed to me my 10min of 10 time felt comparable to a 206 with respect to ground handling with a heavier airframe, takeoff p-factor, pretty healthy climb for a Cessna, power off decent, big throaty motor, complexity of systems, overall stability of the platform in flight.  They aren’t quite as fast but you can make an honest 135-140kts in a 300hp 206.
