RV-10 Performance Log
This page has been
thrown together
to not only include some of my own performance numbers that I'm seeing
on my RV-10, but others from other people as well. I'll
separate
performance numbers by builder, so if you have any to send me, just
email what you have and I can put them here. Ideally the page
will grow for a while as the numbers come in and we get a few various
aircraft on the list, but eventually it will become more of a reference
for builders as they decide on how to run their engines, which prop to
buy, or that new builder wants to know how theirs is measuring up.
I'll include a little detail on the airplane above each
builder's
section. Hopefully this will have more than just my stuff
soon....encourage any other -10 builders to participate.

Engine: 260HP IO-540
Prop: Hartzell Blended Empty
Wt. 1685 lbs.
My performance numbers will probably be on the lower end,
as I
*only* have a 260 HP IO-540, and I fly fairly conservatively with my
engine. You will probably notice the numbers get better as
you go
down the chart. Early on, I was way too easy on the engine.
3/14/2007 update: I've
decided to give this page a reboot since the old numbers were
inaccurate. After using 2 different tools on
Kevin
Horton's site
to verify my True Airspeed, I found my airspeed was way off..
I've corrected this with
new-style Cleaveland Static Ports and now have a fairly consistent
1-2kt LOW error. At this point, I'm deleting the
old values so we can start
fresh with new info as 2007 progresses.
