I plan to lock the passenger door from inside only -- no external lock.
One very simple method would be to drill a pair of vertically-oriented holes through
the interior door handle on the forward, outboard corner. To lock the door,
drop a bolt or nail thru the hole pair. This would prevent the latch from
being pressed, so the handle could not be rotated.

--> RV10-List message posted by: "Condrey, Bob (US SSA)" <bob.condrey@baesystems.com>
Marcus,
I would do as much sanding/filling on the top interior as possible
before installing permanently. If you're going to paint the interior
top, I'd also do that before installing. If you're going with a
headliner and the surface prep is finished, it won't be too bad to
install later. You will be dealing with Proseal (aft cabin top to
tailcone interface), epoxy (door frame to cabin side interface + misc),
window adhesive and some interior paint after installing the top - lot's
of opportunity for a headliner to get damaged. It's probably easier to
avoid than protect.

I am ready to permanently install the top and have a question for those
that
have completed this stage. I plan to put in a fabric headliner, but
haven't
quite picked out the color scheme/material. The plans recommend
painting/installing liners prior to putting on the lid, but that would
cause
me a significant delay (and I'm not terribly patient when it comes to
big
progress moments like this). Am I going to really regret not doing
certain
prep work, or is it a minor inconvenience to do later.
One other thing I noted that is causing me to go this direction,
it
looks like I'll just be scratching the paint even more around the
forward
bulkhead during the final install so I'm hesitant to get too far on the
finish work.
Thanks,
Marcus

About those locks with identical keys. Some one has already posted several months
ago about a source in WA. I bought three packages with two locks in each all
identically keyed for $20 total. Identical to the aviation lock except the retaining
washer for the inside. We will fab a washer or glue the locknut in place.

This a.m. I had something WAY cool in my inbox. There
is a place that saw the need for a better RV-10 latch
system and they sent me and a couple other
builders some photos. I asked if I could repost
to the list and got the green light, so here you go.
I only wish I had known about these while I was doing
the doors, but now I'll just fly as-is and then
this summer see if I can retrofit these.
Here's a link on my site for those who don't get the

Hi
We have developed door latches to replace the existing Van's doorlocks.
They have flush handles on the outside and low profile on the inside
with an over centre lock.
They latches for the RV10 cost US$350 per side.
Please see attached photos.
For any inquiries please email us on info@cossaviation.com. Please let

Those are awesome. A little pricey but not much when you compare it to the
total cost of the project, I guess. Just last night I was looking over some
of the builder websites at interiors and hoping that someone would come up
with a better looking/functioning door handle than the stock vans pieces. I
guess my wish came true. Now, onto the bigger wishes.....

You know, I just assumed these had a keylock of some sort, but
if so, it's well hidden. I'll email them and ask if it's
locking. If it's just a different style latch, then I agree
with you. If it's locking, then $350 would be expensive
but probably worth it overall.

I just received email clarification from ECI regarding
the current 1/2006 issue affecting Classic Cast cylinders.
I wanted to verify that Titan cylinders are not affected.
They verified that this is true. So, my new Aerosport
IO-540 and all others built with new ECI Titan Cylinders
should not be affected by any issues currently known.
I thought this might be good news/info. to post to the
group.

Yes, when you consider the total cost of the project it amounts to only about 1/2
of 1% of the final cost. Percentage wise, this is high for such a component.
Looking at it that way it is small, however US$350 per side, $700 per plane
without a lock is a bit pricey IMHO. Maybe door handles for Mooneys are as
pricey, but there is the added burden of certification. Just as a comparison,
a certified Andair fuel valve is about $300.
I don't doubt that this hardware is of high quality, however worth it? Some will
think so, but I think many will not.

While on the subject of cabin doors, i've noticed that the 10 door seems to feel
flimsy, it does not feel as stable or solid as perhaps that of a Cirrus. I
realize weight is a factor.
Any thoughts

I was certain I read about someone, somehow, making the Van's window

But what about the windshield, it's epoxied in with several layers of
glass cloth to the boot cowl. Aren't all RV windshield attached the same
way?

Tim,
Can you give the dimensions of your LOCK for the RV 10 door? Size of hole in door.........length
of cam lock........length of locking bar..............etc.
I have seen several locks like this on office furniture.........desk drawers,
file cabinets, curio cabinets........etc.
Thanks,

I mentioned this a while ago on the list, but wasn't sure if it would
work for a door lock. I'm not familiar with Zinc in relation to
corrosion, so not sure about that. I was planning on attempting to use
this for the baggage door lock, but it may be reasonable for a door lock
also? I like the idea of a combination as opposed to a key as I am
prone to loosing them. :)

My first bout with the proseal went pretty good. Not near as bad as I was expecting
after some of the conversations on the lists. Just one question though.
How do I know when it is done "curing"??? Does it stay rubbery or does it harden???
I've got one trailing edge skin that got a little wavy when edge rolling
it and I want to be sure the proseal is fully cured before removing the clamps
from it (don't want the proseal coming loose and letting the skin pillow
up)
Sorry for the lame question,

Bill, Pro Seal never gets 'hard' is stays a rubbery-like texture, but it
does get to a point where it is not plyable and is not able to be
deformed without returning to its 'cured' state. the curing time depends
on how much catalyst you mixed with it, how thouroughly it was mixed,
and the temperature in which it cures. If it cured @ room temperature
(70 degrees +) I would wait AT LEAST 24 hours before removing any
clamps, and preferrably, 48 hrs. If it cured at a cooler temperature I
would extend the time considerably (e.g. when leak testing my fuel tanks
I waited 3+ weeks to make sure everytning was cured befor applying any
pressure) 9OK so it helped that i had lots of other things to do in the
meantime).

I like the combination lock idea, as I share in the lost-key syndrome.
It appears that the lock protrudes quite away out from the surface, and
that's a bit of a turnoff for me. don't have a clue as to zinc's
corrosive properties.

Subject: | Re: The ultimate door latch |
I own a small precision machining company in Holland and the kind of
messages as the latest below triggers me to make a post and keeps me
from developing parts like a doorlock and sell it for use by other
builders also, I will however design a doorlock for my own project
because it's a necessity over here, if there are people who don't have
problems paying money outside the USA, as for myself, I have to buy most
of the parts outside my country (read USA) and being interested in
having affordable doorlocks (say 100 till 150 Euro per set) they can
contact me, the more I can make the cheaper they will be.

Other than being pricey; sending the money beyond USA borders is risky ;
Ask the people who have dealt with the Subaru engine supplier in Canada.

Yes, when you consider the total cost of the project it amounts to only
about 1/2 of 1% of the final cost. Percentage wise, this is high for
such a component. Looking at it that way it is small, however US$350 per
side, $700 per plane without a lock is a bit pricey IMHO. Maybe door
handles for Mooneys are as pricey, but there is the added burden of
certification. Just as a comparison, a certified Andair fuel valve is
about $300.
I don't doubt that this hardware is of high quality, however worth it?
Some will think so, but I think many will not.

G'day,
I know the feeling. The amount of money I have dispatched overseas,
mostly to the US, is more than I care to admit to.
I, for one, would be interested in what you can offer.
