I do have a license of SolidWorks. I don't know a whole lot about it, but I
have a good friend who does. What is your question and I will see what I
can find out.

Is anyone a software licensee for Solidworks on the RV-10 group. Or more
important, does anyone have knowledge of its effectiveness. I have a
question.

--> RV10-List message posted by: James Ochs <jochs@froody.org>
Hi all,
As I am getting ready to order my emp. kit for the -10, is there
anything else I should get with it that needs to be or should be
installed prior to closing it up? I am thinking of things like the tail
light / strobe, antennas, wiring, trim / autopilot actuators (those are
in the fuse on the -10 aren't they?) or anything else that one would
put in there for a IFR equipped -10 prior to buttoning up the skins...
Speaking of lights, are people using/happy with the "lighting kit 6"
that vans has on their accessories catalog? I'm pretty sure I 'm going
to go with the duckworks HID kit or something similar when i get to that
point for landing / taxi lights, but I havent really made up my mind on
position / strobe lights yet.
Thanks,
James

James,
I ordered the tail strobe and enough wire and clamps to get it installed in the
rudder. You will need proseal for the trailing edges of the rudder and elevator.
You really can wait a while to order most stuff, the autopilot servo can wait
until just prior to joining the tailcone to the fuse. Most of the extra things
can wait until your ready to start working with the glass fairings. Might
want to order some opps rivets, they have an 1/8" body with a 3/32" head, other
than that I can't think of anything really pressing for at least a few months
of work. I'm sure others will have some input.

James,
Just about everything expensive can be put off until the wing/fuselage kits. The
autopilot pitch servo installs in the tailcone but the mounting bracket is
in the fuselage kit. The roll servo installs in the wing. You can also hold
off on any antenna decisions until working on the fuselage kit. Seems like a
lot of folks (me included) are mounting the comm antenna(s) in the aft part of
the main cabin. Spacing there works out for two comms and the transponder can
go in the forward part of the tailcone - very accessible until after attaching
to the cabin. ELT antenna can be mounted at any time. Pitch trim servo and
associated hardware is included as a standard part of the kit.
The tail light/strobe is needed at the point when you decide to tackle the fiberglass
tips. Following the instructions, this will be near the end of the emp
kit assembly. Many of us just delayed that part with the plan of dealing with
all of the fiberglass at one time. I did them at the same time as the wingtips.
Things you should consider:
- static ports; you'll either need to get the Van's pop rivet style (they sell
a static system kit) or the slightly more elegant, but not necessarily more functional
ports from any of a number of sources. They typically require the hole
be enlarged and the port gets riveted to the side skins.
- Rudder cable exit fairings; optional, but very inexpensive and improves the look
a lot!
- Proseal for trailing edges.
- Fiberglass cloth/resin for when you tackle the tips. Standard kit has these
permanently attached to the tail surfaces so you'll want to install the tail strobe
and position light before attaching the rudder bottom.
Finally, I went with the Whelen System 6 kit from Van's and am very happy with
it. There are certainly other choices for position lights though, including at
least a couple that are using LEDs instead of halogen bulbs.

But don't you get more burrs with a slower drill? It was my understanding
that the optimal drill speed for thin aluminum was around 14,000 RPM.
Obviously only a machine shop can achieve such results but I always thought
the faster the better - at least in terms of burrs. I figure if you can deal
with the weight of the 6,000 RPM go for it. I went with the 3,600 Sioux
because it's much smaller and lighter.
Just my $.02

I built 2 tables using the eaa plans, but use a solid core door for the
top (scrap from my father-in laws shop). I haven't used them yet but
they are very sturdy.

James,
Did you see this one from Tim.
"And I'll toss in a building tip. If you mess something up, and
have to order from Van's, buy a couple of lengths of the 2 or 3
popular sizes of aluminum angle. You'll be making a lot of stuff
out of them, and you'll probably mess one or two things up.
Now you'll have scrap. You'll also find it handy for things like
installing the Gretz pitot mount, beefing up the panel when you
cut the ribs a bit, and other odds and ends. May as well
get it early.
