Very cool mods Rick, I especially liked the one for the pilot/copilot
sticks under the seat. I am just going to start the wiring on that and
you've given me the great idea to try to think through.

All,

As promised I took 31 photos last night and Jeremy was kind enough to
post them on his personal web site.

http://jharris.net/Aviation/RV_10.htm

Anticipating questions:
1. The black box on the aft aux tray is a variable voltage divider
to provide 12 volts to the baggage lights.
2. The small baggage light was added later to light a "dark" spot.
Easily removed if I decide to do so.
3. Control Grip junction box - I bought the CH Products 5 button
grips for both pilot and copilot. All buttons, except PTT are common.
(By the way Kevin at CH Products is great to work with)
4. The defrost system uses the rear seat heat. Yes, rear seat
passengers go without heat when the defrosters are in use. I forgot to
take a picture of the top of the panel, but I have installed two
deflectors from a Piper Cherokee.
5. If you look closely at the external power close-up photo, you'll
notice the entire set up is removable from the rear, leaving only a hole
in the bulk head that the door sits in.
6. False floor - remember the heating issue in the center console?
I spoke with the pilot who posted that data. Jeremy and I considered
venting the center area, but couldn't find a good way to get the vented
air out of the plane. Instead, several layers of insulation have been
installed under the false floor. Hopefully this will do the job. I was
told the heat was caused by the cowling air exit being located directly
in the center of the fuselage. It is not an exhaust gas temperature
issue.
7. The insulation is wrapped with aluminum foil because if provides
better sound insulation for the higher frequencies.
8. Magnetometer installation is very very close to level and very
stable.
9. Pre-oil switch grounds the magnetos. First, let's not start
another discussion on the value of pre-oilers. You are entitled to your
opinion, bottom line - I am installing one. Here is the explanation for
grounding the mags. My starting sequence is as follows:
Pre-oiler switch on (mags grounded). Pre-oil is not
wired through the master switch.
Complete external pre-flight.
Turn on master switch. EFIS and aux fuel pump are
powered, no gyros or radios are powered. I don't like gyros spinning
just because the master switch is on.
Turn engine over 2/3 rotations with ignition to
distribute oil. Engine will not fire (mags grounded). I have no desire
to hand prop.
Prime engine.
Turn pre-oiler off.
Start engine.
Turn on avionics master.
10. If the area around the power board looks like a rat's nest
you're wrong. Even rats wouldn't live in a dump like that.

Finally, having a pre-oiler and not being able to use it in flights
doesn't make much sense. There will be a switch (under the panel with a
safety cover) that parallels only the pre-oiler power.


Hope this helps.

Thank You

Whose pre-oiler are you using?

Rick,
Thanks for sharing the modifications.

I would like to see some additional photos of the console you fabricated
for below the panel and above the tunnel.

I'll be out of town for 10 days. Maybe Jermey can take some pictures tomorrow.

I put an image of the template we used to fabricate the center console
on my website: http://jharris.net/Aviation/RV_10.htm
It's not exactly what we used but it will give you the general idea. We
make all of our sheet metal patterns out of white poster board and use
them to test fit everything before we cut & bend expensive sheet metal.
