John,
I had the exact same thing happen. I'm positive it pulled properly, the
shank just broke and inch to high. I haven't dealt with it yet, but I'm
just going to cut it off and proseal over the hole if it leaks.

Rick,
Thanks for the reply. The rivet "pulled" the same as the rest and
"popped" at the same time but didn't break at the rivet head so I think
it's set. AC43.13 mentions self plugging rivets and talks about
grinding and filing the shanks to finish them so that's what I did.
Prosealed over rivet head and the leak check was OK. Ken at Van's says
the cause is most likely the rivet tool but I hadn't had any problem
before. Just thought I may have a bad batch of rivets but if nobody
else is having this problem it probably is the tool. May get another
pop rivet tool and try it on the right tank.......john

I bought a $39.00 pneumatic pop rivet gun at Harbor Freight. Other than the
$25.00 pneumatic cleco puller I bought at Yard Tools, it may be the best
tool buy I have made. Not only will it pull the rivets in the Emp/Tailcone
and wings but when you get to the floor panels on the fuselage it works even
better because there are so very very many of them.

Am I right that for our RV-10's, Van's doesn't sell us
the standard trim kit for elevator trim, that comes with
a rocker switch and indicator? I didn't see it on
Randy's panel, didn't get one myself. I do see that there
is one on the panel of N410RV. Is this something I overlooked?
Randy, do you have one today (a trim indicator) or what did
you do? Your panel install pics don't show one.
Final paint and labels go on today, and instruments in later
today.

My elevator trim servo, indicator and the rocker switch were missing
from my kit. They are supposed to be included with your tail kit. I
called van and they sent me a complete kit.

Thanks Rob,
You are correct. But, this time it was me. I found the box
buried away. So, I do have the kit and you're right that
it came with the tail kit.

All,
Thanks for the reply to my question about the AD42H rivet shanks.
Looks like a non-issue. I pulled one in a test piece where I could watch it
and now am sure the others are set. One to one and a half squeezes of the
puller sets them fine and they are self plugging, no way they can leak if
they're set. Just as an aside, I took Rick's advice and cleaned the pop
tool. Found some grease had migrated onto the jaws and may have been the
cause of the problem. Works fine now.....john

Linn,
How does it compare to the grumman's in control? People speak of the RV
Grin, and I am curious how that compares to the responsiveness of my tiger.
At this point, I am a wannabee, but I want to make sure I am not surprised.

Subject: Re: RV10-List: Throttle Quadrant Location
Mark, My son-in-law and I both took demo rides during Sun-N-Fun. The ride
was too short, but I got to play a little with it. We blasted off in 410RV,
using very little runway and climbed to altitude and headed nort, me as a
captive passenger. We were in cruise configuration when I took the
controls. The ailerons and elevator are heavy on full-speed-mode. The
airplane is absolutely solid though, and if you're in the bumpy's, the heavy
controls are more stable. I did some turns and then slowed her down to see
how it would behave. The controls loosen up as the airplane slows down and
is controllable way into the stall, which is really benign. The rudder is
really effective fast or slow. Like you, I'd buy a kit whether or not I had
flown one or not. My workshop is going up as we speak, and when I get it
tricked out, I'll order my kit. I'll probably go with knobs instead of
quadrant. I'll probably go for a glass panel and 'state of the art'
avionics ... radios, GPS, and autopilot. I figure it'll take us close to 2
years to get her flying, and by then who know's what's going to be on the
market! Hardest part is deciding on the parts going into the panel .....
and I'm grateful for those who have already made examples.

"I was at Van's last Friday and did the demo ride thing in N220RV"
Hello All,
This brings up a question that I have been wondering about for a while. For
all of you 10 builders, how many of you actually have time in a 10 either as
PIC or passenger? I am going to Oshkosh with the hopes of getting a chance
to demo one of the demonstrators. If I can't, I will visit the factory for
the ride. I have already decided on the 10, and from everyone's experience
with the plane and it's performance, etc., I know it is the right choice. I
was speaking to a friend / C-182 driver the other day & I told him I have
decided to go with an RV10. The first thing he asked was "How does it
fly?" I told him I haven't actually flown in one yet which he thought was a
little strange!
Thanks, Mark (Going with a 10 no matter what anyone says!)

builders,how many of youactually have time in a 10 either as PIC or
passenger? I am going to Oshkosh with the hopes of getting a chance to
demo one of the demonstrators. If I can't, I will visit the factory for
the ride. I have already decided on the 10, and from everyone's experience
with the plane and it's performance, etc., I know it is the right choice.
I was speaking to a friend / C-182 driver the other day I told him I have
decided to go with an RV10. The first thing he asked was How
does it fly? I told him I haven't actually flown in one yet which
he thought was a little strange!

The trim in N410RV is for the passenger to use since there is not one on
the stick. I have one on both sticks. Randy

Am I right that for our RV-10's, Van's doesn't sell us the standard trim
kit for elevator trim, that comes with a rocker switch and indicator? I
didn't see it on
Randy's panel, didn't get one myself. I do see that there
is one on the panel of N410RV. Is this something I overlooked?
Randy, do you have one today (a trim indicator) or what did you do?
Your panel install pics don't show one.
Final paint and labels go on today, and instruments in later today.

All of my time, 400 hrs of it, is in Cessnas. I'm currently flying a C-182.
I think we had around 700 lbs of people and about 2/3 tanks as I remember.
Ken Scott did the flight. We didn't do a lot of stalls, steep turns, etc
because my wife's stomach doesn't like maneuvering. So the turns were prety
much standard rate stuff just to feel it a little bit. Ken demonstrated the
only stall we did, I thought there quite a bit more buffet that could be
felt prior to the stall than you get in a Cessna. It lets you know its going
to stall way before it happens. Might call it "idiot-proof". Take-off tok
about 700 ft, judged by watching the VASI lights. We started about 200 ft
before the first one, were off abeam the second one. Once in the air, it
took several seconds to pick up speed and start showing a climb, once
stabilized it was 1000 fpm at 120ish. Mucho better than the C-182 with
similar load. Ken didn't really fly it, he just nudged the stick with the
back of his hand now and then to keep it pointed in the right direction. I
can be easily flown with a single fingertip. You don't need to "grab" the
stick. It remains rock solid stable for many seconds without touching, so
you can refold a sectional chart, look up an airport in the Flight Guide,
etc, and the plane will behave itself. The C-182 likes to wander off on its
own while doing these things. Didn't see a need for rudder trim, I wondered
about that myself. C-182 has it & I use it there. Wish the C-172 had it for
climbs since they take soooo loonnngggg. I think Ken pooched the landing
though, when we turned on final I think we were still at pattern altitude,
no flaps out yet, can't remember the speed. I kept my mouth shut and let the
PIC fly the plane. We landed long, floated a long time in the flare, and
rolled out at the far end of the runway. Boy I really missed that Cessna
nose wheel shimmy (NOT!) on rollout. Almost wish my wife had stayed on the
ground, but her buy-in to this project is essential.

I think we got the indicator and the rocker switch with our trim kit. We
scrapped the switch and went with a toggle on the right side of the panel
and we use the coolie hat in the pilot's stick grip. We didn't like the
idea of cutting a square hole in the panel and having a switch that looked
so much different from the rest. The switch we have in now is a cheap Radio
Shack one, but it is in a round hole and can be easily changed. We got the
Ray Allen servo relay deck for using the stick grip with the trims (all
three) and they work great.
See ya'll at Osh. We're getting in on Friday with a borrowed motor home and
will be there most of the week. Our -10 will get there on Saturday or
Sunday and will be there until Wednesday or Thursday.

Subject: RV10-List: Painting Windshield before Laying Glass
I've started to lay up the glass at the bottom of the windshield when I
realized that it looks pretty ugly looking out from the inside. I have
forgotten to paint it before laying the glass. I'm about 0.5" into the
plexi and will need to go about 1.5" more. What paint do people use on
plexi? Any worries of the glass sticking to the paint vice the plexi?
Any suggestion for remedies on the 0.5" at the bottom that I have
already laid up the glass? Paint the inside? That will be a
challenging masking job.

Yes please save us a spot. I'll be there Friday with the motorhome and my
dad will be flying in on Saturday with the -10. I will try to hook up with
you on Friday or Saturday. My cell phone is at the bottom of this e-mail.
We have the sign in the plane to get to the Home Built Parking, and were
told by the guys at Van's to just ask to be put with the RV-10's, so if
there are any other instructions, please let me know and I will pass that on
to my dad.
Thanks.
