| Subject: | Last "Official" Day To Make Your List Contribution!! |
--> RV10-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com>
Dear Listers,
Well, its November 30th and that means three things...
1) Today I am officially 42 years old (sympathy is appreciated)!
2) It marks that last "official" day of the List Fund Raiser!
3) Its the last day I will be bugging everyone for a whole year! :-)
If you use the Lists and enjoy the content and the no-advertising,
no-spam, and no-censorship way in which they're run, please make a
Contribution today to support their continued operation and
upkeep. Your $20 or $30 goes a long way to further the List
operation and keep the bills paid.
A Lister wrote a funny message in the comments field of his
Contribution that I thought summed things up pretty well:
"Worth every penny and I'm a tightwad!"
Thank you to everyone that has made a Contribution so far this
year! It is greatly appreciated.

--> RV10-List message posted by: Larry Rosen <LarryRosen@comcast.net>
I am about ready to install the fuselage steps. In the plans page 30-3
step 3 has you drill a hole through the guide hole, step, step mount
and the bottom skin. Then the next step has you drill #30 up from the
skin. I am planning on installing an access cover to get to the step
after the baggage floor is riveted in place.
Is there an alternate method to drilling the step that does not involve
drilling through the bottom skin?

Does anybody know anything about Sikkens paint by a company called Akzo
Nobel? My research is telling me that it is on par or better than PPG or
Imron. Anybody have any personal knowledge?

They just painted a -7 at our local builders group hangar. It looks very
nice. I can get you the phone number of the painter if you would like to
know details. If you have specific questions I can find out the answers and
post them for all. Keith Campbell is the painter he sold his body shop
business about a year ago. Over the last 15 years he has built an Oshkosh
award winning RV-4, two Oshkosh award winning RV-6's, and now finishing up
on this -7 while helping on two -9's. So he is a good one to talk about
paint and finish quality.

Sorry I left out that little detail. Yes it is Sikkens and they are very
happy with it. All I can tell you is it's a base/clear and it looks good.
I overheard them talking with the paint rep. who asked how long they waited
between stripes. He said "about 20 minutes because that is what the
instructions said at 70 degrees". That kind of floored me. The stripes
blended nice too, not the hard edge we experienced with PPG Centari. Keith
doesn't do email, but like I said if you email me a list of questions I will
get them answered for you.

Hi Jesse,
Akzo Nobel have a range of paints suitable and approved for aerospace use.
We have used Sikkens in the past for propeller blade applications with
excellent results.

I used Sikkens on my RV-6 back in 1994. It is holding up extremely
well.
It is the most used automotive paint in the world (according to my buddy
who works for Toyota and used to do painting).
Only problem is cost. I got my paint discounted thru my buddy and it
still cost over $2K JUST for the materials - and that was in 94.

--> RV10-List message posted by: Jay Brinkmeyer <jaybrinkmeyer@yahoo.com>
Pages 23-5 and 23-6 have all sorts of directions on how to fabricate torque
tube assemblies. Other than some total length measurements, I could find
nothing that directly says how long to cut the WD-1014C steel tubing. Does
anyone else have the dimension of the tube lying around? I'd like to cut the
one STB4130 tube that I have to the correct length... the first time. I've
already called Vans and haven't received a direct answer.
Thanks,
Jay

Just cut them in half and they will be plenty long. The tube length is
not in the plans. William Curtis has a good description and photos on
his web site here <http://wcurtis.nerv10.com/07Wings/index6.html>

Ok, Sikkens is the European finish that came to this country a couple of
years back and bought up a bunch of automotive finish business by swapping
equipment for paint volume in professional auto paint shops. They would
offer up a 20k-30k paint booth for 10K a month in color finish with a three
year contract. A lot of shops took them up on it and they got some market
share and even a few happy customers. The shop owners bought it and the
painters endured it. After the blush wore off, they have fallen on their
sword in many areas. Still it's a good product but not really what you want
unless you want a heavy automotive quality finish.
Akzo Nobel owns Sikkens which is primarily the automotive product side of
Akzo Nobel which is a multi-product finish company. Akzo Aerospace brand is
the aircraft finish line used by many but not all or even a majority of the
professional aircraft shops. Akzo bought US Paint a couple of years ago, US
Paint was a major aircraft finish supplier to professional shops. We sell
Akzo Aerospace and have had numerous large 707 size aircraft and small 152
aircraft painted with it. We also sell Dupont Imron and have had many many
large 707 and small 152 aircraft customers use it with great success. We
sell PPG and have had many,...... you get the picture. All of the major
players have good/great products if used as a system,..... again, if used as
a system. Dupont has a couple of newer Imron like products, PPG has several
as well, and Akzo is fine as well. You won't be sorry with any of them,
including Sikkens, if used properly, that's why so many folks endorse one
or the other with no clear cut winner.
Most airplanes have a poor finish because of application not the finish
product. Really, it's not a big deal unless you want something equal to a
high quality automotive finish in which case you step up to multiple coats,
metallic, clear coats, etc. If you want a really good aircraft paint job,
find a good painter and use whatever major brand that he has confidence in
and likes to shoot. Prep the plane first very well, then prep it again,
then prep it again, then think about it and prep again. The actual color
coat of something like Imron/PPG/Akzo should almost be an afterthought.
Also, something most folks apparently don't know is that in every reasonable
sized town, there is a store that specializes in automotive refinish color
for professional auto or aircraft paint shops. Just drop in and tell them
what you are doing and what you want it to look like. They love to talk
about paint. They should provide a ton of information that you will not
get from viewing the web sites. If you live in Arkansas or Louisiana, I can
give you a list of Car Color Specialty Stores to visit :-) Most of these
kind of places also have paint application clinics that you can attend for
little or nothing if you will just ask about the schedule.
Hope this helps!

It turns out the final measurments are relative to the weldments. The tube length
is not that critical, just slice the tube in half.
It will make sense if you just follow the directions. about the time you get finished,
the "Ah Ha" moment will occur. At least it did for me. I too pondered
this.

| Subject: | Step Installation |
--> RV10-List message posted by: "Scott Schmidt" <sschmidt@ussynthetic.com>
I know I didn't but I cant remember how I got around it. I also added
an removable door so that I could take the step on and off but I mainly
did it because I wasn't ready to put the step on for good because I
didn't know if I wanted to chrome the step or paint it. And now I can
take it off when I race the -10 at Reno. Hahaha
I actually just took the step to hpcoatings.com They are currently
ceramic coating my exhaust system, and the step. They said that the
ceramic coating is much tougher than powder coating and it has a nice
chrome look to it. I will post some pictures once it is complete. They
are going to powder coat my baffles as well.

I am about ready to install the fuselage steps. In the plans page 30-3
step 3 has you drill a hole through the guide hole, step, step mount
and the bottom skin. Then the next step has you drill #30 up from the
skin. I am planning on installing an access cover to get to the step
after the baggage floor is riveted in place.
Is there an alternate method to drilling the step that does not involve
drilling through the bottom skin?

The guy who helped paint mine has used Sikkens a lot and likes it.
20 minutes between stripes isn't too tough with B/C paint. We only
had to wait about 15 before clearcoating.
