Not much to say after the engine update post from last night.  We have had some new arrivals camping at RV-10 HQ so I took a new picture of that.  Dan Lloyd is in the popup camper between the motor homes and Tim Olson's tent is in the rear half of that site.  Adrian Moses along with a couple of friends are in tents on the other side of Gary's motorhome.  Total count right now is at 11 customer built RV-10s:  Recent arrivals include the Monarch (picture attached), Noel Simmons N325HP and Jon Stewart's.  There may be one more but I haven't seen it.  Doesn't look like we'll make John Cox's prediction of 20.

Hi Bob,



How about an update on N325HP, did Noel use a parallel valve or angled

valve engine to get 325 hp? What are the performance numbers for the

Catto prop?

Thanks,



Vern Smith (#40324)

It's a parallel valve IO-540 built up be Performance Aero Engines.  I've got a couple of pictures of that I'll post later today or in the AM.  He wasn't over by the plane so I don't know much more.

Thanks for the information! This plane has always intrigued me since I

first saw it mentioned on the group list. I've always wondered how the

fixed pitch Catto compares to the Hartzell prop.

Don't take the HP number to the bank till a Barrett verified engine run is Dyno'ed and documented.  The number is not real (Its called a Hollywood or California fudge factor and can change as quick as the new owner peals the vinyl N number off and buys the aircraft now for SALE.  Do tell us why Noel.

I am eating my words as you read this and owe everyone a Cold One for the failure of the estimate.  However there were three Atrocious RV-10s with poor workmanship which means its better to keep that number low until the quality of build QOB comes up to VANS standards. Many builders simply do not respond on this list.

 

Then again Vic, Debbie and Tim have shown how great this kit can turn out.

Don't forget Paul and Jesse who's planes both left me feeling

very comfortable with their workmanship.  They both looked

very nice.

I know this has been addressed, but I saw the engine, and without a turbo or

super high-compression pistons, I can't imagine getting 325HP out of a 260HP

engine.  I can see getting as much as 290 or so from talking to Barrett, but

I think that number is truly bogus.  If that was the case, why would you put

it behind a fixed pitch prop?  Actually, the engine was very nice-looking,

with matching paint on several other things in the engine compartment.  As

far as the quality of the plane, well, I guess I won't go there, but for

those who haven't gotten to this point yet, I would not recommend putting a

bead of caulk/proseal around the outside of the windows, and pop-rivets in

the leading edge of the fuel tank should probably be avoided as much as

possible.

Hello Jessie,

  

 Why do you say not to put proseal around the window  to seal the gap there? I've had several people tell me they thought that's a  good idea to stop the cracking that RV10 people are experiencing. One was a good  painter who uses proseal to fill any gaps he finds on the plane.

I don’t have a problem with Proseal being used, but when you have a bead of it around the windows on top of the paint (or instead of it) that looks like you smeared around with your fingers, it takes away from the appearance of quality.

Proseal should take paint, so seal before you paint for a better looking job?
