(Tim Olson) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 06:44:40 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Vetterman's exhaust clearance. From: "Doerr, Ray R [NTK]" --> RV10-List message posted by: "Doerr, Ray R [NTK]" I installed the vetterman exhaust on the weekend and noticed that the right heat/muff only has 1/4" clearance to the bottom of the cowl while the left side has almost 1". Also I was not happy with the way in whioch the hangers support the heat/muff. They are supported off to the side of the pipe with a vertical hangar and then an angled support from there. This make the heat/muff supported fairly well from going up/down or left/right, but if the heat/muff is twisted which is easy to do, it changes the clearance all the way around. The only thing to keep the heat/muff from twisting is the three spring load bolts. No matter how tight you make these, it is still easy to twist the heat/muff to the point where the heat/muff will contact the cowl or the bottom of the fuse. Has anyone else encountered this? Thank You Ray Doerr 40250 Almost done with FWF. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:19:00 AM PST US From: "David McNeill" Subject: RV10-List: test do not archive ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:51:04 AM PST US From: JSMcGrew@aol.com Subject: RV10-List: Re: RV10-List Digest: 5 Msgs - 12/26/05 Marcus, A friend of mine who is building an RV-8 had some difficulty with Stark. There were a couple issues, but basically the turn around time was considerable (months). I'll get you in touch with him directly if you are interested in hearing the details. I went with Eastern Avionics for my avionics. They typically deal with certificated aircraft, but I called them up to see what they could do. They were willing to match pricing and the harness they built was very complete and first class. They had everything in stock and it took less than a week to wire up and ship my GMA340 intercomm and SL30 radio. They even built in pig tails for my Blue Mountain EFISs and GNS430. I powered up my panel last week and everything worked great. Additionally, Ron Sormrude (_ronald@avionix.com_ (mailto:ronald@avionix.com) ) is a great guy to work with.

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.

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?

I too ordered the tail kit last week! I knew it was the plane for me when It first showed up at Oshkosh. It will be interesting to track your progress. This email list is great! I just discovered it a couple weeks ago and have already learned a lot!

I think I got my audio panel from them so hopefully they'll give me the same match pricing treatment.
