I've mostly been a lurker here, but I finally got my new RV-10, N585MR,

airborne yesterday and will hopefully become an active member if you are

open to another.  I'm based out of Valdosta, GA until next March so

hopefully I'll get my 40 hours done as soon as possible and puts some faces

to the names.

Way to go Marcus and welcome aboard.  How is your EIS doing?

The EIS is doing great, thanks for all the help.  I ended up adding a switch to select RPM source and then do the math for the Magneto which is only indicating 50%.

Marcus check your setting for the EIS if you still  read half RPM  The setting should be 1 not 2 for the offset.

Thanks, the snag is the magneto only puts out ½ has many pulses as the Lightspeed ignition so regardless of the setting the right mag (Lightspeed) will register twice as much as the left.  I opted to have the electronic ignition be the “normal” indication since it should be a little more reliable.

Bert,  

     I’m a repeat offender with a RV-6 and 50% of a RV-7 (sold it to start on the -10).  I also built a Q-2 and Skybolt previous to the RV-6.  

   

The panel is a Grand Rapids dual EFIS and a Dynon EFIS for the backup, Garmin stack with 340 Audio, GNX 480, SL-30 Comm/Nav and 327 XPDR, TruTrak autopilot and (most importantly?) an eBay procured DVD player with pivoting screen (the absolute cheapest piece of equipment in the panel).  The engine is an Aero Sport IO-540 D4A5 (which drove the 40 hour flyoff) with a Lightspeed ignition and regular mag.  

   

It took me just under 2 years and was a quickbuild version (I figured I paid my dues with the previous machines), part of that time was spent building a workshop when the garage hit critical mass.  

   

I am taking leave Mon and Tue in hopes of getting most (all ????) of the test period done this weekend.  My wife is anxious to get flying in it.
