I got my wings this summer and I had to trim about 1/2" off each.

Larry,
Looking at your site it seems you have the Quick build wings. Don't know if this
make a difference but I had the Standard build wings. I can't imagine they
would also send the the tips to the Philippines, but assume that they put all
the parts of you QB wing kit together and then set them aside until the assembly
comes back from the Philippines. Then even though you received you wings
this summer, the parts were picked BEFORE the parts for my SB kit delivered last
November. Wow, just checking the lead time on RV-10 wings is now 14-15 weeks,
QB is 6-9 months. Just a theory so my statement below may ONLY apply to SB
wings delivered November '04 or after.

I finally found another use for the $pecial purpo$e bucking bar for the
HS. It works great on the aileron skins to spar attachment.
Here's a link: http://deemsrv10.com/21-6s2-4.html
ps. I thought I remember a post from someone which mentioned that they
didn't agree with the rivet callouts here. I second that: The plans
call for 426-3.5's and I found them too short and went with 4's

Tim,
I kept what I had. That's the short answer. For anyone else who's there
now, Here's the rest of the story:
I've attached all the pics I could find on my brackets. I originally cut
them out upside down, and when I got the new piece I didn't cut the correct
measurements. I'm sure you know that but I've included it as background
anyway.
My brackets are cut narrower than spec, and the only component that I could
see that needed to fit between them is the Vertical Stabilizer attach
bracket on pg. 11-5 Fig 4. The VS bracket should fit with room to spare
(obviously) now. It doesn't appear to me that the HS brackets provide any
support to the VS bracket, since that one is bolted to the HS front spar.
The only thing I can figure is that my edge distance from the inboard holes
to the bracket edge is smaller than the spec measurement, and it still
"looks" like enough to me for structural integrity, so I'm comfortable with
it. The HS brackets are bolted on as well, and since we're usually
concerned with edge distance for riveting, I'm ok with the 8/64", or 1/8"
narrower measurement at the forward edge. As you can see on pic 0836, since
I've cut these brackets on an angle, I didn't lose the full 1/8" between the
hole and edge, which makes me even more ok with my decision to keep them.
I know I may have some gap in between the HS and VS attach brackets, but I
don't think anyone will see it once it's installed, and I don't consider
that a place of great aesthetic consequence. I didn't even think it
necessary enough to call Van's on it since I still had "so much" edge
distance. YMMV, and I'll take any advice from Van's if you do decide to
call, even if I choose not to follow it.
I know this is a long reply to a simple question, but wanted you to be in
the loop on all my reasons instead of on blind faith accepting or rejecting
my decision to keep my error.
I sent this to the whole list but BCC'd your personal email.

Subject: HS Brackets
Robert,
I read your email about the HS Brackets made out of the aluminum angle and
thought I was reading about my own situation. What was the final outcome?
Did you go ahead and use those brackets or make new ones?
Regards,

I haven't committed on a belt for the -10 yet, but I used seat belts from
Summit Racing on both my Skybolt (full acro competition) and my RV-6. I can
attest they work well as I had a VERY firm forced landing thanks to a poorly
built engine and rough terrain and my passenger and I didn't go anywhere.
They were a whole lot cheaper than Hooker's and look good although you'll
have to accept the logo on the shoulder restraints. I just looked at the
Summit website and they don't seem to have the brand I got (Summit), but the
Simpson belts look identical and run about $70 a set. The Amazon site had
better pictures than Summits regular site (odd, no?) I tried posting the
link but it got bounced, so go to Amazon, search for Summit Racing and work
your way to safety equipment and you'll see a ton of belts.

Larry - I ordered the finish kit 2 weeks ago, and have been given a ship
date of Jan 15th. This makes it 12 weeks lead time, by my estimation.
