    --> RV10-List message posted by: Jay Brinkmeyer <jaybrinkmeyer@yahoo.com> My understanding is that the sole purpose of adding tank sealant to the trailing edges was to hold the skins+wedge tightly together so they could be riveted... Maybe I missed something? Back riveting worked well for me too. Jay fuse

    Subject: Re: Proseal on trailing edges?
    There is another benefit to the proseal in the trailing edges in that one is less likely to develop cracks in the trailing edge rivet holes. I have heard that cracks in the trailing edges of RVs are not that uncommon. The proseal essentially bonds the trailing edges together resulting in a more rubust structure. Niko ----- Original Message ---- From: John W. Cox <johnwcox@pacificnw.com> Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2006 7:07:19 PM Subject: RE: RV10-List: Proseal on trailing edges? --> RV10-List message posted by: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com> Before dismissing the use of Proseal on trailing edge riveting, you should have a comfort with the term "faying action" which is the equivalent to the wicking of liquids between two solid objects. You did say Louisiana. There is a reason that primers and topcoats use the exposure to moisture and salt spray as the baseline test for protection. Primer doesn't stop it with either skin overlaps or trailing edge construction. If you really want to get granular you can also research "hydrogen Embrittlement" while your learning. Proseal is also excellent on the terminal ends and fasteners used to complete the many bonding straps between movable control surfaces to the main airframe. The bonding straps are used to release P static buildup from dust or moisture in the air. Alexander's should be a good source for answers to such questions. Without resurrecting the discussion here you can ask them about conversion treatments and primer applications as well.

    What's the big deal to prosealing the edges? Or, rather, what's the big deal to NOT prosealing. Why would you not proseal? Other than the little mess? Time involved?

    Subject: rudder cable fairings
    From: "Chris Johnston" <CJohnston@popsound.com>
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Chris Johnston" <CJohnston@popsound.com> I had this question some time back, and I ended up putting the fairings on before the final assembly of the tailcone. Access is a bit limited for what I had in mind, so that's what I did. I figured out that if I put the fairing where I wanted so that it captured the tubing around the rudder cable nicely, I couldn't rivet the fairing on permanently and pass the rudder cable through later. If I wanted the fairing on, I would have had to put the cable in there at that time. instead, I made the fairings removable with nutplates and screws. A bit overkill, but it'll make it easier in the long run I think. here's a pic: http://supercj.bizland.com/archives/2005/09/tailcone_8.html cj #40410 wings www.perfectlygoodairplane.net -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Larry Rosen Sent: Saturday, January 28, 2006 11:32 PM Subject: Re: RV10-List: rudder cable fairings --> RV10-List message posted by: Larry Rosen <LarryRosen@comcast.net> I will leave them outside.

Will not be more logic to do this after the complete fuselage is connected ,then the full alignement will be more accurate? in another issue ,how the elevator trim motor can be service ,or replace if is a problem with it ,from wath I can see ,need to dissy. the complete controls surfaces to acces it.do I'm wrong.

    Subject: Proseal on trailing edges?
    From: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    Cutting corners, saving time, saving money. Its all about short cuts for some and additional overbuilding for others. Each to their preference. Although its more work, the quality of the final product far outlasts and outperforms the "Just build it" attitude. I think that the chance to build an aircraft "Superior" to a Certified is a thing of beauty in the Amateur built arena. Just look at the newest panels of Scott Schmidt and Tim Olson along with their great paint schemes. You might Google Dr. Carl Cadwell's newest flying 6 passenger Epic Air with the Beech Starship P&W turboprop. " Beam me up Scottie". Now "Making and living the Dream" - that's a great Mantra.

Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com> Before dismissing the use of Proseal on trailing edge riveting, you should have a comfort with the term "faying action" which is the equivalent to the wicking of liquids between two solid objects. You did say Louisiana. There is a reason that primers and topcoats use the exposure to moisture and salt spray as the baseline test for protection. Primer doesn't stop it with either skin overlaps or trailing edge construction. If you really want to get granular you can also research "hydrogen Embrittlement" while your learning. Proseal is also excellent on the terminal ends and fasteners used to complete the many bonding straps between movable control surfaces to the main airframe. The bonding straps are used to release P static buildup from dust or moisture in the air. Alexander's should be a good source for answers to such questions. Without resurrecting the discussion here you can ask them about conversion treatments and primer applications as well.

    Rick from Vans there is no need to put it in! Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick To: rv10-list@matronics.com Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 3:14 PM Subject: RE: RV10-List: Proseal on trailing edges? --> RV10-List message posted by: Rick One thing that can be said for the proseal on the trailing edges, it fills the area between the skins and any small gaps (minute but they do exist) that may form after riveting. It can be sanded and painted and will help to provide a better finished product, it doesn't weigh that much and I am happy I used it....and It means I also followed the plans. That does mean something to me, for my own piece of mind.
