This was a bit premature. It seems Van's "fixed" the wingtips a little too well.
Instead of the wingtips being 1/2 inch too long as some have mentioned, mine
are about 1/4 inch too SHORT. Oh well, it should be easier to add 1/4 than
to remove 1/2 inch. Maybe I'll add some winglets:-)

Speaking of fuel lines...
I struggled with the aluminum fuel lines in the RV-6A until one day I
had enough. I was taxi testing the plane when ANOTHER fuel leak popped
up in the cockpit! My feet were dangling in a pool of AVGAS. That was
it. I flew into a rage that my wife still finds comical. I took a pair
of dikes and cut the fuel lines out of the cockpit about 6 inches at a
time. I was flinging them with great gusto as I cut each one. All the
while, I was mumbling about the fact that everything has to be difficult
when you're building a plane. After a little cooling down time, I sat
down and pondered the issue a little more lucidly. My question was:
How do they make fuel systems in millions of cars that are nearly bullet
proof? They use EFI rubber hose with simple and cheap clamps. So,
that's what I did. I had to go get different connectors for the tank
and for the fuel valve, but the installation was simple, painless and
after 430+ flight hours, bullet proof! Yes, it weighs more, but I also
don't have leaks in the cockpit anymore. I'll do the same thing in the
RV-10 because I don't like the aluminum tubes or the headaches they
create. FWIW.

Nice information. I've often wondered why an alternative wasn't used. If
anyone knows why the solid aluminum lines are usually used, other than
weight, I'd like to hear about it. Also, I've changed the heading to make
it more appropriate to the topic.

William,
Put a straight edge along the trailing edge. One of mine was a 1/4"
to short on the inside but even on the out. Nothing's changed, just a
different level of bad workmanship when it comes to the fairings. They
really need to find a different fairing manufacturer or hold him to
higher standards.

For you guy's that have already run your static lines from the rear
ports, did you run two separate lines, one from each side to the panel,
or did you use a "T" in the rear of the fuse and use a common line to
the panel? I also have the flush mounted static ports, with a barb for a
connection, that is too large for the 1/4 inch line to attach, any
ideas? I think there Safe-Air flush ports.

I can't speak to RV fuel lines, but I've had 'homemade' aluminum fuel
lines in my Pitts for 24 years with no problems. If I think of what
causes metal to crack, it always boils down to temper and vibration. If
the cracking is happening when being flared, then it may be temper or
technique. The technique can be changed, the temper can't. In my
limited experience, cracking during flaring is due to how much tubing is
used for the flare (how much sticks out of the die) or the speed at
which the flare is formed. Slowly cranking the flaring tool allows the
aluminum tube to flow, and the use of a lubricant helps create a flare
on center.
Vibration can be solved with a good propeller dynamic balance and the
use of adel clamps and ty-raps to support the tubing.
sorry I can't be more help, but I hope it gives you something to think
about.
I like solid tubing rather than rubber hose because I don't like the
concept of hose clamps (they lose their 'tightness' as the rubber ages)
and rubber tubing will become brittle over time. I really hate the
little rubber connectors that handle the return oil from the cylinder
heads on lycomings. They're a continuing maintenance headache, and I'd
rather fly than fix.

The interesting part is that most certified aircraft I have worked on use
a combination, usually about 12" of rubber tubing to connect from the
tanks to aluminum tubing. Perhaps that helps the vibration issues and any
flexing from the wings.

Good point. But you won't find rubber coupling fuel lines in the cabin
in a cert'd AC. Dennis replaced his hard (and cracking) aluminum lines
with rubber in the cabin. For him, I guess that's OK. For me, it's not.

Oh contraire. In Cessnas the line is in the wing root behind the head
liner. In many low wing planes it is behind the royalite at the wing root.
In both cases the fuel and vapors can come right into the cabin. But
because they are covered locations, the rubber hose gets replace maybe
once every 30 years.

Thanks Kelly! I learned something. Both my Grumman (AA-1B) and
Traumahawk have solid fuel lines from tanks to engine .... but the vent
lines in the Grumman do have rubber hoses ..... which did come close to
30 years before failure.

Andrew -
Monty got to fly it on Saturday and said it is a magnificent airplane.
Good running engine too (from what I hear.) I told Betty she better
watch out or it will be next on the project list after the Model 12!!
Congratulations to you, Jim and everyone at TruTrak.
Best,

The ports from Cleaveland have barbs that go to 1/4" ID Tygon tubing. I
have those and used Tygon from each port to a tee and then transitioned from
Tygon to standard static line.

Andrew,
Congradulations! I am located in Fort Smith, AR and working on QB fuse.
and wings. I also have an engine on order from BPA Engines in Tulsa,
and am very interested in your cowling modification. Also, I am using
your AP and currently have pitch and aileron servos through Stein. I
have visited your shop once.
It would be great now to visit you and N910TS. Any day/time that would
be most convenient before the holidays?
Regards,

day/time that may be convenient for me to visit you and your N910TS

Also, I will be using your AP, and am currently installing your servos

| Subject: | Fuse Bottom Skins |
Completed the rib to fuse bulkhead attachment last night and started cleocing the
F-1077 and F-1076 bottom skins to the rib/bulkhead assy. Plans say to flute
the F-1015 ribs but not the F-1018 ribs. When clecoing the skins, the holes
lined up fine on the F-1015, but the 1018s did not go anywhere near matching
the curve of the skins (up to 1/2" misalignment). I was thinking of removing
the skins and fluting the 1018s. However, after clecoing each hole of the 1018
to the 1076 skin, the ribs pulled to the contour of the skin quite nicely and
fluting does not seem necessary.
Did anyone else experience this, or find the need to flute the 1018s?
cheers,
Ron

Hi,this are tips and pictures for the beeginers(like me)its a tip how have a cradle
call for the HS I did with the shipping box,its working perfect,a single
person can handle the complete assy. from one side of the table,.
May be it is not so important ,but I fill to share with the just start dreamers,I
send the same pictures to Van's ,may be he can design the templates in the
cover of the shipp. box ,and help a little more without expenses(and recycling)(no
response) any way here are the pictures ,if any body like the idea I can
follow some mesurments will make work better.

Sean,
Tygon is 1/4" ID and will slip right onto the barbed ends (on the
Cleaveland static ports) and also the tee that they can supply. I then
slipped the 1/4" OD static line into the 1/4" ID Tygon and secured with
a small clamp. I have the tee a few inches above the static port
location on the bulkhead to help keep moisture out. Clamp where the
Tygon joins the regular 1/4" OD static line is probably not necessary
but I plan on minimal trips back that far into the tailcone...

There is another alternative which I did not think of until I pulled the air
lines forward. On my Cardinal the static ports were on each side of the
fuselage just forward of the cabin. This will save a lot of grief pulling
air lines through the fuselage. Its also a lot nicer using the aluminum
inserts rather than the blind rivet approach.

Thanks Rick - I'll check for bowing of the ribs tonight and will most likely flute
them.

Ron,
I would flute them, if you don't, the rib won't remain perpendicular to the bottom
skin and has a tendency to bow outward at the top as it is forced into making
the curve. I had to flute mine to get the holes to line up FWIW.
