Having owned an aircraft in AZ for several years, we decided if we ever had another one it would have AC.



I would appreciate any feedback that anyone would have concerning Flightline vs. Airflow systems.  Right now I am leaning toward the latter, but haven't written any checks yet.



As I am just joining my fuselage sections together, I would appreciate feedback as to building stage suggestions on AC component installation.



Thanks in advance.

The airflow system distributes the weight of the system throughout the airplane.  Compressor at front, Condenser in the middle and evaporator in the rear.  My calculations showed the cg moving 3/8" aft.  Do not know anything on flight systems air conditioning other than they put the condenser and the evaporator in the tail.  Alex DeDominicis  has the system in his RV10.  You may want to talk to him about his installation.  I have the Airflow system in my RV10, but my airplane is not ready to fly yet.

I have installed Flightline AC, but am not flying yet. Installation  

has been pretty straight forward. Instructions are a little slim, but  

the kit is well done. John at Flightline AC has been very responsive  

to questions and problems. I am installing the Vertical Power Climate  

Control System as well. Should be a very nice interface to the A/C.

I don't know, as a non-native who moved to Phoenix from Alaska in '92, 

but in 16 years of flying in the Valley of the Sun, rarely have I felt 

much need for air conditioning. Heck just flew over snow at Rocky Mtn 

Natl Park this morning and dived downhill into Chandler this afternoon 

where it supposedly was 102, and went for a bike ride. I guess it 

depends on your style and mission. I'll probably look at A/C systems, 

but doubt they will make the cut for the budget.

If it were just me I would bag the A/C, but it is for my wife and future pax.



My first flying job was flying tourons and river runners in and around the Grand Canyon.  As the heat index increased, so did the puke index.  (Japanese were the worst, must be the raw fish, but nobody pukes with more grace and dignity than the Japanese).



I am building four seats because I want to fill them, and the last thing I want is puke in my new airplane.

I have the Airflow system & my CG is 108.4, EW 1673. I have to watch my baggage weight as CG goes aft with fuel burn.

Myron,

I'm in the middle of installing an Airflow system in my rv-10.  Feel free to give me a call to discuss.
