They do not get dimpled at all the way I read it. See page 29-15 for the skin layout.

    Subject: Mid Fuse Rib Dimples
    I got 3 feedback messages that corrected/clarified my understanding of dimpling the mid-fuse ribs. Here is a corrected picture and the 3 messages posted. Apparently all of this could be done in later steps but dimpling F1015A and F1018 now is easier. Many thanks to those who have forged the trail. Albert Gardner Yuma, AZ 40-422 Cheers..Evan Johnson Albert, you seem to have it right to me except for the #30 holes in F-1015A. They do not get dimpled at all the way I read it. See page 29-15 for the skin layout. I'm glad I looked at this as it would seem also that the 3 holes behind the rear spar carry through-in the same row (in F-1018) do get dimpled. I don't see those on your picture, you may want to look at the side skin... I'm pretty sure you match drill those through the skin.. Deems Davis # 406 Al, I just finished Sec 26 and benefited from the dialogue on this section that took place a couple of weeks ago. Here's what I've done, .... so far. F1004D,F1015B,F1005C - nothing so far, I'll wait til the side skins get attached, hoping it will be more obvious/self apparent at the time. F1015A - I dimpled all of the holes that match with the side skins outlined in Sec 29-17 (these were #40 only) Sec 29-15 say's don't dimple the #30's F1018 - Ditto PJ Seipel Albert, You don't want to dimple the #30 holes in the F-1015A because those don't get dimpled in the skin (29-15). Don't countersink the F1004D because it gets covered up by the F-1004K (28-9 Fig 1). Page 29-15 is helpful too. For what it's worth, I didn't dimple anything at the step you're on. I did it all right before I put on the side skins. At that point it's real easy to see what needs to get dimpled/countersunk. The only thing I wish I would have dimpled ahead of time was the #40 holes in the F-1015A excluding the joggles and the F-1018. If you wait, then you need a #40 3/8" (little) pop rivet die for the holes along the bottom of the rib. Oh, and don't put the nutplates on the F-1076 bottom skin (26-7 figure 1) yet. They make it really hard to get the side skins on.

    Subject: fuel selector Andair
    From: "RV Builder (Michael Sausen)" <rvbuilder@sausen.net>
    I'm actually working through how to mount my Andair valve at the moment. Not quite mounting it yet, but making sure I know how I want to mount it so I have the correct stuff. I ordered the FS20x7-T from Neal George a while back and this thing is perfect if you want to mount in the stock location. Because it is the "Y" configuration valve (including the lines) and all three lines go straight down in a nice compact manner, you may or may not have the issues of needing the extension. With the past issues of getting the scat tube through, combined with the plus of a lower head to draw on, I have decided to mount this thing as closer to the floor. To do this I am adding a 6 inch extension. I think this configuration is going to be the easiest to work with and should give the most space for the scat tube and other stuff similar to Bob's and Tim's setups. I am also going to probably go with something like Aeroquip 666 tubing for the run from the tanks to the valve ala Tim's config.

    To all who responded, thank you. I've booked the dog-fight for May 13th and have now managed (thanks to some of your responses) to even muster up a bit of excitement. I've also gotten a kick in the butt and a renewed appreciation for my wife. In addition to "supporting my hobby," she's a great mother to our children, earns a heck of a living and, when she's got the time, is a pretty mean cook. I'll report back on the dog fight. Yes, yes, I know. I'm a lucky guy. No more complaining from me. Jeff Carpenter 40304 Do Not Archive IMG_1672.JPG

    Subject: Paint Scheme
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Marcus Cooper" <coop85@bellsouth.net> I am trying to finalize my paint scheme (not that I'm ready to paint for a while!) and am considering using a light cream instead of the standard white for the base coat. I don't want to go too dark, my first airplane (a Q2) was painted a light tan since I didn't want to go Long-EZ white or the standard Q2 yellow, but managed to unintentionally match the haze in Phoenix exactly making it impossible for the tower to see me until short final. Aside from "it's just different", are there any other reasons to avoid cream? My only other immediate thought is it might be tougher to color match down the road following repairs. Thanks, Marcus 40286

    From: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com> One trip to the paint store will show you how a quick rematch becomes most challenging even in white. Randy DeBauw made the choice simple by using the standard GMC pickup white. I think Tim used "Standard" PPG Base White. Your choice is a personal one. My white BMW 535i came with three unique shades of white for the exact same car when I went to panel "repaint". When VAN's repainted the new improved canopy on N410RV, the Valspar or the mixing and application did not produce the same shade of yellow as the original. I always save 25% more base color and 50% more accent color than applied so as to have a "reshoot" inventory of the exact mix. Remember, humans are dialing in the additives and the human eye can see 16.5 million shades of color. Splitting hairs. Just an idea.

    --> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com> They're kind of different types of nuts. I don't have a clear picture in my head right now, but anyway, you'd find them in a hardware bag and no, they're not attached. I think they were kind of a hex stub that had a hole through it and a setscrew in somewhere. Anyway, you'll find them in the bags. You can just barely make them out in these photos: http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/finishing/20051228/RV200512270043.html http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/finishing/20051228/RV200512270042.html Look at the ends of the wire on the cables.

    Subject: fuel selector Andair
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Steven DiNieri" <capsteve@adelphia.net> I just finished my install this weekend of the fuel valve with the extension from Andair. Went smooth and pain free. I left the original bracket in place so I can mount the valve under the center console for easy access. I got my valve from Neal George (334-262-8993). He had the 90deg valves in stock with extensions, got em in a couple days. I am always impressed with the quality of Andair valves and the extension is designed and made well. You can't just order the extension to put on a regular valve as the red pointer and top plate is different from the original. It's a kit, six pieces plus the valve. Steve DiNieri N221rv N231rv N331rv res If you want the valve in the same location as original you'll need to get the extension kit for the handle. The interference issues listed below can be worked out but when you add in the 2" SCAT for the rear heat it becomes unworkable without relocation and/or the valve extension. Tim Olson has several good pictures of the valve with extension on his website and my installation is almost identical. Bob #40105

    Subject: Elevator Trailing Edge
    All, I am about to do my elevator trailing edges and have a quick question. I plan on using the angle iron method (I made a nice proseal mess doing it the Van's way for the rudder) and was wondering about the direction of the rivets. Did everyone set all of the rivets in the same direction so the shop head was on the bottom side or did you still alternate them? I would rather have the shop heads hidden on the bottom but not if there is going to be a problem with it hooking. Thanks. --Shawn 40366 --------------------------------- Bring photos to life!
