Many have now ventured into the realm of plastic (Composite) aircraft
with their aluminum kit RV-10s. The canopy is larger and more complex
that any VAN's before it. And did I say the wing tips, doors, canopy
and engine cowls sometimes need modest rework. Here is a great
reference as a primer.
You can get Andy Marshall's latest edition book "Composite Basics"
either directly through him at (925) 945-6051 or at MARSHALL

Van's,
Step 6 of RV-10 plans page FF4-2 calls for the use of 24" piece of
PT-035x1/4 (thin wall tubing as used for FAB drain line) to be used as a
fuel overflow tube for the engine driven fuel pump. As the name
implies, PT-035x1/4 is 1/4" OD with .035 wall thickness, leaving an ID
of .250-.070 =.180".
RV-10 plans FF4-2, figure 4, calls out the use of an F63-PT3-25 insert
to go inside the overflow tube. The F63-PT3-25 has an OD of about
.137". The F63-PT3-25 is normally to be used in high pressure lines,
such as the PT-062x1/4 RV-10 brake lines, which have 1/4" OD, .062" wall
thickness, leaving an ID of .250-.124=.126". You can see this usage of
the F63-PT3-25 on page 38-6, figure 2.
If one tries to use the F63-PT3-25 with the specified PT-035x1/4 (thin
wall) tubing, the F63-PT3-25 simply slides down the inside of the tube
and falls out the other end. It's just too small.
Once could use the F63-PT3-25 if one replaced the specified thin wall
tubing with thick wall tubing such as left over brake line (PT-062x1/4).
I'm hesitant to do that without checking with Vans, however, because
the resulting ID is noticeably smaller than the specified tube.
What approach do you recommend?
Thanks,
Tim Lewis

Tim,
Hopefully not too simplistic, but I just used the tubing that fit the
insert and used the other tubing for the FAB drain line. I can't imagine
using thinner wall for the drain line would impact anything. I didn't even
notice the plans error.

Has anyone installed the rear windows while the lid was off the aircraft?

Thanks,
My first response to using Proseal was reliant on my usual sarcastic fun loving
nature side of things, but the more I think about it, Proseal does stay nice
and flexible, takes paint very well, is sandable.....might not be a bad thing
to consider for a final 1/8" final layup around the windows......maybe I'm just
way past the tanks to remember the fun of Proseal....ya think? It may be an
option!

| Subject: | Elevator tip rib skin question |
When assembling the elevator tip rib assembly, the tip skin (E-913)
appears to go under the main elevator skin (E-1001A). This leaves a leading edge
ridge of the 1001A over the 913. Is there any problem later if i put the 913
tip skin over the 1001A so the ridge is trailing? How did others deal with
this? Does it effect the fit of the fiberglass tip later?
Thanks for the help!
