If you are worried about it, either drill the heads or put in bolts with drilled
heads and safety wire the bolts.

I am not quite sure how you did that, unless you are using the bucking bar
on the wrong side. Use the rivet set that is in the rivet gun on the side
where the manufactured rivet head is, and use the bucking bar on the side
where you are making the shop head. When you use a bucking bar or steel
plate on the manufactured head, you are back riveting, which on the VS might
be difficult to do, actually! Let me know if this does not make sense to
you. Know matter what, those marks are not bad. You ought to see the
dents, some would call them deep craters, in my VS.

I achieved to complete my first part the VS :-) However I have one little
issue along the middle rib I have some rough marks on the skin now. I belief
they are from the rough edge of the bucking bar (I grinded them now to have
smooth edges).
Here is the picture

Subject: RV10-List: Big Week.
This week was something of a big transition for me. I had my last ever
flight in an F-15 on Thursday (pictured below after being hosed do wn). And
today I moved my RV-10 from my garage out to the hangar. I've been worry ing
about how I was going to transport it as most trailers are only 6 feet wide.
You can see I used a 4x8 sheet of 5/8 inch plywood strengthened by some 2x8
and 2x4 boards underneath to extend the trailer width out to 8' - perfect
for the ge ar. It was easy to load and unload and traveled great.
My last day of work for the Air Force is at the end of this week, so I' m a
full time airplane builder until I get my plane in the air - hopef ully
before I have to go back to school next fall! I'm extra motivated now since
I don't get to fly at work anymore...

For years, the RV-6 has been called the poor mans' F-16. I imagine
that for most of us (certainly for me) the RV-10 is a big step up.
For you, I guess it will have to do. Congratulations on the end of
one career and the beginning of another.

N519RV (40250) just received it's airworthiness today from
Chuck Morris (DAR). I have a IO-540-D4A5 that was rebuilt by America's
Aircraft Engines with the Silver Hawk EX fuel injection. My engine data
plate was replace with one from America's Aircraft Engine which says
Experimental IV, but I still manage to get a 25 hour fly off with the
Hartzell blended airfoil prop. The only thing the DAR found was that
when the rudder cables are left slack, they tend to rest on the top
surface of the 2nd last bulkhead ( the one in which the cables run in
the center of), so he suggested that I put a split hose over the top of
the bulkhead so when the cables won't rub against the bulkhead. First
flight is schedule for Friday May 26th at K34 around 04:00pm.
Thank You

The real problem for the low fuel pressure was the Dynon Sensor
Type was set to 1 (Carb Version) instead of 2 (Injected Version). Once
I changed this to 2, it is now reading 17.5 PSI at idle.

The Ops Manual I have lists:
inlet to fuel pump min -2 max 35
inlet to fuel injector min 14 max 45 min at idle 12
I think you should see something like 25 psi or so in normal operation.
AirFlow Perfomance recommends a boost pump setting a few psi higher than
the
engine pump pressure to verify its operation on the fuel pressure gauge.
It sounds like you may have a gauge or pressure sensor for a carbureted
engine.

Hello Listers,
I just wanted to send out a reminder to all of the Listers regarding the new-ish
BBS (Bulletin Board System) Forums that are available at Matronics for the Email
Lists. The BBS Forums give you Web-based access into the same email content
that is generated by the Email Lists. When an email message is posted to
any of the email lists, a copy of the message is also copied to the respective
List forum section on in the BBS Forums. By the same token, when a message is
posted within the BBS Forum interface context, it will also be posted to the
respective email list.
Basically, the BBS Forums give you yet another method of accessing the Matronics
Email List content. Some people prefer email, some prefer web forums; now you
can have it either way or both with the Matronics Lists!
You'll have to register for a login/password on the BBS Forum to _post_ from the
BBS, but you can view message content without registering for an account. To
Register for an account, look for the link at the top of the main BBS Forum
page entitled "Register". Click on it and follow the instructions. Site Administrator
approval will be required (to keep spammers out), but I will try to
get these approved in less than 24 hours.
If you haven't yet taken a look at the Matronics Email List content over on the
BBS Forum, surf on over and take a peek. Its pretty cool. The URL is:
http://forums.matronics.com
I want to stress that the BBS Forums are simply an adjunct to the existing Matronics
Email Lists; another way of viewing and interacting with the Matronics List
content. If you like Email, great. If you like Web Forums, great. If you
like both, great. Its up to you how you view and create your content.
You will also find a URL link at the bottom of this email called Matronics List
Features Navigator. You can click on this link at any time to find URL links
to all of the other great features available on the Matronics site like the Archive
Search Engine, List Browse, List Download, FAQs, Wiki, and lots more.
There is a specific Navigator for each Email List and the link for this specific
List is shown below.
Thanks for all the great list participation and support; it is greatly appreciated!

That's awesome news! We should keep a list of design-related
squaks that the various inspectors come up with. That way
future builders can possibly take the precautions sooner and
not only have easier inspections, but safer planes.
Glad you also got the 25 hour flyoff. I'm at about 70 hours
now with no real issues. Good luck on the first flight!

I am making a jig/fancy table to support the fuselage and tail section in my
shop and would like to know the height of the main fuselage bottom to the
floor with the gear legs on(No wheels). Reference where the gear leg goes
into the fuselage.
I know all floors are not level, but also the distance of the bottom of the
tail cone, last bulkhead(end), to the floor.
With that said, I hopefully will in the end jack up the fuselage and insert
the gear legs.
Thanks

I believe you will find that putting the fuselage/tailcone on a sufficiently
high table will greatly complicate access to the rest of the fuselage for
the build. You might consider a couple of refrigerator dollies under the
main spar and padding the loading steps. lifting the fuselage to insert the
gear legs should be relatively easy by using a portable crane to attach to
the motor mount to lift it. Of course you put the gear on before the wings.

Don't trust this measurement if you want something exact, but for some
reason I'm thinking I remember about 27" from floor to belly. I
may be way off.
I do have some of the measurements here:
http://www.myrv10.com/tips/workarea.html
If someone has that measurement from floor up, then I'll add that to
the page.
Russ Daves sent it to me a long time ago and for the life of me I
can't find the email.

I had my RV-10 on (2) flat 4 wheel dolly's until it was ready to go up
on the gear legs. Then we lifted the front end (by hand) and put a saw
horse under the front. Then did the same for the back and slid in the
gear legs. No need for a 'crane' and it was very simple.
Of course, none of these reply's give you the dimensions you were
looking for....

N519RV (40250) just received it's airworthiness today
from Chuck Morris (DAR). I have a IO-540-D4A5 that was rebuilt by
America's Aircraft Engines with the Silver Hawk EX fuel injection. My
engine data plate was replace with one from America's Aircraft Engine
which says Experimental IV, but I still manage to get a 25 hour fly off
with the Hartzell blended airfoil prop. The only thing the DAR found
was that when the rudder cables are left slack, they tend to rest on the
top surface of the 2nd last bulkhead ( the one in which the cables run
in the center of), so he suggested that I put a split hose over the top
of the bulkhead so when the cables won't rub against the bulkhead.
First flight is schedule for Friday May 26th at K34 around 04:00pm.
Thank You

No in the official archives, but in mine. I THINK this measurement was
made with the wheels and tires on. Use at your own risk.
From Tim:
27 inches from the ground to the belly. This is measured at about
the mid point of the doors...just behind where the actual
tires are.
in response to Bob
..... trying to find the floor to belly measurement for the moment.

I echo Dave's comments. you will want the Fuse fairly low to facilitate
all of the work that goes on during it's build. the gear legs don't get
added until the finish kit. and everything in the Fuse plans have you
reaching over/under the fuse to get to things. I've got mine on some
cut-off sawhorses (a la Rick sked) with wheels on them, but if I did it
over I'd cut off a couple more inches from the saw-horses. (I'm what you
call 'vertically challenged')

Subject: RV10-List: Fastener Concern
While working on the wings I noticed that that the Aileron Bellcrank
Attach Brackets are attached using only two bolts each into platenuts,
without any other locking feature. Considering the importance of the
Brackets in the Aileron Linkage I'm surprised that they are not riveted
or secured with some additional locking feature. Since I'm really just
getting into the critical contol linkages and I'm not sure if this is a
common design approach that Van's uses throughout the kit or if is it
used in aircraft in general?. I wanted to find out if others have other
considered this as a potental problem area and have you done anything to
improve the design? (loctite, jam nut, etc.)
For those with more experience building/inspecting aircraft have you
ever found that bolts installed in platenuts, properly torqued, have
loosened or vibrated out?
Thanks,
