Has anyone in the group fitted lasar mags to an IO-540 yet. I have received
a reply form asking for P-Lead distances??
I am not sure where to position the "control box". Would be grateful for
suggestions. One place would be on the right hand side of the firewall, in
the engine compartment.

I completed my instrument checkride!! I am flying both the SR22 and the SR20.
I am assuming that the RV10 will handle and perform like the SR22. Lots of power
requiring lots of right rudder. The glass instrument panel is fairly easy
to transition into. An autopilot is an absolute must - this is not an airplane
to fly by hand in the clouds without huge hours and proficiency. The SR22
has a monster kick when the throttle/prop goes full forward and it jumps off
of the runway. 180 knots in cruise makes things happen very quickly and one can
get beind the aircraft very quickly. The landing attitude seems very flat
compared to any Cessna I've flown. I've heard of several tail strikes and some
bad VFR decisions of fairly inexperienced Cirrus pilots trying to fly a high
performance airplane without much training. Both the instrument training and
the SR22 training have given me a healthy appreciation for what is going to await
me in the RV10.
The progress on the kit is currently on hold. Emp done and QB kits in storage.
I've built up a glass panel with MS flight sim and make noises in the meantime.

Fellas....
When it comes to using cradles for the RV10 Horizontal Stabilizer skins, try
using what I did. I went to Lowe's and bought some DOW blue Styrofoam board.
I bought the 2 inch thick stuff. It is very rigid and works perfectly for holding
the skins in place while drilling/cleco/riveting. I like it better than
the plywood that is recommended in the plans. I used 4 cradles total, 2 per
side.
I used this very same stuff when building my RV8. The neat part is that it doesn't
scratch the skins (even with the blue plastic removed) and is very light
and easy to work with. You can also tilt the whole cradle assembly 90 degrees
to make it easier to work on. Van's tells you in the RV10 plans that these
cradles just hold the skins in place, it is not a jig (no jigs at all in the
RV10). So, why not make it easy to work on? Try it. I think you will like it.
See some pics at the link below. Sorry, I don't have a web site to post them
on.

I spoke to John at Stark Avionics and plan to order everything through him
ASAP. It sounds like the shop is very busy so turn around is about a month.
Does anyone have anything other than positive experiences I should be aware
of prior to sending a check?
BTW, one of the posts mentioned they don't take credit cards. Actually they
do, they just add 3% to the total since their markup is so low.

I checked with Starks Avionics and this is what I
found:
GNS-430 $5855 + $250 pre-wire. Add $20 shipping
GMA-340 $1140 + $200 pre-wire. Add $20 shipping
GTX-327 $1420 + $70 prte-wire. Add $17 shipping
GNS-530 $9,475 + $250 pre-wire. Add $30 shipping
GTX-330 $3170 + $120 pre-wire. Add $25 shipping
These prices are better than Van's prices (below):
GNS-430 $6750
GMA-340 $1485
GTX-327 $1655
GNS-530 $10695
GTX-330 $3395
~ a $2700 savings.
Thanks for sending the link. I'm not close to ordering
yet, but for those that are I wonder if a bulk
purchase could be negotiated? Can anyone find better
prices?
