Another RV-10 flew today. I guess that is number 4 (or 6 if you count
the factory birds).
Serial number 40194. Wow, what would that be 12 months build time?

Well, I'm 170 and I was delivered in late Jan. 2004.
My guess is that he'd be starting maybe in March-May
2004....so you're really close...probably 12-14 months
total. Wonder if he was a QB or slow (fast) build.

I use a Fujitsu daylight readable tablet PC to display WxWorx data in my
RV-6A. The Fujitsu is attached to a bracket on the right side of the
instrument panel, so it is panel mounted (sort of) and tilted toward me.
I'll do something similar in my -10.
WxWorx data is awesome. Being able to see precip and lightning 100
miles ahead takes a lot of worry out of IFR.

FYI, I have the very small (1" square) XM antenna. My original (1.3"

Hi all,
It looks like I over tightened one of the bolts on the rear horizontal
stabilizer spar and the threads stripped off underneath the nut. There are
threads left on the end, but I can't undo the bolt. Does anyone have a
suggestion on how to get that bolt out and replaced? I don't think I can
drill it because it will just spin on the drill.
Secondly, on one of the nose ribs I cut the hole for the trim cable on the
wrong end of the rib (towards the LE instead of close to the spar. Can I
cut another hole in the rib to put it in the right place or should I just
order another one?
Thanks,
James

Thanks, I've been leaning towards that one, but just wanted to make sure
it worked ok with Tefzel. I see on Dan C.'s Tool section of his site, he
has the same I think.

Use a Dremel with a cut-off wheel to split the nut.

I do have the same one (the "automatic" stripper from Cleaveland) and I *DO
NOT* use it on my aircraft wires. In my experience, it leaves notches in
the insulation which in some cases fully penetrated the insulation.
The stripper I use is the Ideal T-Stripper 45-121. Totally manual. I
bought mine from Fry's if I remember correctly.
http://www.idealindustries.co.uk/index.cfm?pid=14&op=dsp&pk=13878&fk=342
The "automatic" stripper is in the tool bin for non-critical stuff (jeez,
what's non-critical on your plane? in other words, I never use mine). The
last thing I want to see are breaks in my insulation. Your mileage
definitely may vary. I may have tried this on 22AWG and tossed it. It may
acually work fine on larger gauge, or thicker insulation...or something.
Anyway, try it and see if you like it. You might, you might not.
I believe you definitely get what you pay for when it comes to wire
strippers. The expensive ones are expensive because they WORK. I'm too
cheap to splurge on the nice stuff. If I made wire harnesses for a living
that would be a different story...

| Subject: | Sherwin Williams 988 Primer |
--> RV10-List message posted by: Dj Merrill <deej@thayer.dartmouth.edu>
Thought I would report back to the group
on my experience with the Sherwin Williams 988
self-etching primer in a rattle can.
Overall, I like it. It has a special
nozzle, and is very easy to apply (and apply
where you want it). It is easy to work with, and
no special worries about chemical issues, although
as with anything of this nature you'd want to
wear gloves and a good breathing mask or respirator.
It is easy to apply and get a good even coat without
runs.
If you are working with your parts within
a day or two of priming, you can scratch it.
However, after it has set for a few days, it seems to
harden up quite well, and is not so prone to
easy scratching. I just did a little touch-up
on the places I scratched when assembling.
I won't know for a few years how it
lasts over time, but so far I am happy with my
decision to use it.
Just thought I'd share...
-Dj

This was the stripper that most of the A&P students would pop for from
Snap-on. The quality of build, the quality to stripped insulation, the
correct size cut on the insulation on the AWG scale and their
replacement policy was a professional decision. Buy it once, buy it for
life.
John - KUAO
P.S. I have five different strippers in my toolbox and this one is used
for the quality work. It is a little heavy to hold on the 22AWG but
gets in great in real tight locations anywhere (even in blind strip
operations).

Back in a previous life when I was an electrician, that was all we would
use. It was the Ideal t-stripper or a pocket knife, or your teeth. Of
course this was residential or commercial work and not airplanes ;). Pretty
much all the other strippers like that wind up either not getting through
the jacket or scoring the strands / wires underneath. The other two methods
listed above actually worked better than the cheapie stripper models.

Wow, that stripper (T-Stripper 45-121) is only $10 online!

If it works as good as you say for $10, that's a steal!

Jesse,
The plane looks great!!! What's it like to be able to sit inside instead of
looking at parts on the shelf? Bet you can't wait for the day you fly. Did
you paint it yourself? Very shiny.looks good.
