Ralph Capen RV6A N822AR @ N06 2 hrs ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:21:01 AM PST US From: linn Walters Subject: [Fwd: Re: Recall: RV-List: Improvements to "Hinged" wingtip installation] Forwarded to both RV and RV-10 lists! I saw and RV recently that had screws holding ALL of the tips. It was really done nice, but the first thought that flitted through my brain ..... how much extra weight from screws and nutplates and how much extra time spent installing them? I'm leaning to the carbinge for the wing tips, but the rest will be attached with pulled rivets like the plans call for. Linn http://websites.expercraft.com/n51pw/index.php?q=log_entry&log_id=23961 Hi Linn- Here's a direct link to the section of my Expercraft website detailing the wingtip installation. It is a single entry with subsequent entries accessed by clicking on the "Next Entry>>" link at the top of the page. Oddly, I am replying to your post to the RV-list but only your address appears in my "To" window (borrowed Mac!) so if you'd like to forward this to the RV-list feel free to do so! Any questionds, gimme a holler...

Empennage: Complete except for fiberglass tips. Includes electric elevator trim kit. All parts are alodined and primed with Marhyde primer. Wings & Phlogiston Spar: Both skeletons fully assembled. Top skins riveted. Both tanks are complete and sealed. Flaps and ailerons complete, but not fitted. Includes electric aileron trim kit. All parts are alodined and primed with Deft epoxy primer (Mil-P-23377G). Both kits are the pre-punched versions purchased in 1997 & 1998 by myself. Construction is excellent. Preview plans and Orndorff videos are included for both kits. Detailed photos are available upon request. Must sell. The first $3500 takes it all. Buyer arranges transportation. If all items were purchased separately the price would be more than $6500 for the unassembled kits.
