Tim,
I can't remember 100% what I did on this, but I did at one point go
to the local hardware store and buy an insert. I think what
I did was buy the insert for the thinner walled tubing and used that,
since the compression fitting supplied that goes on the fuel pump
was the same as is used on other things I've done in the past
using plain poly tubing. You could probably do either, use
the thick wall and the insert supplied, or buy an insert (almost
any plumbing/hardware place will have them) and use the specified
tubing. That fuel pump shouldn't be putting anything out anyway
unless there is a problem with it. I suppose if there was a
major problem, it might be nice to have the larger ID to handle
the flow.

I heard from a builder and long-time -10 watcher this weekend who
let me know that he just got his kit. Number 600!
So we officially passed another milestone in kit numbers out there.

So I'm well into building my rv-10 (fuse-finish kit now ) and never
flew in an RV, every, not even a demo ride in the company plane. Friday
evening I helped out a friend resolve an engine problem on his RV-6
(NEVER forget, Primer IN and LOCKED!) and after resolving the issue I
got the, "so do you wanna go for a ride?" Holly Smokes. what a
ride. For those that need a boost during the building process, hunt
down someone with a flying RV and go drill some holes in the sky. WOW.
I was blown away. My addiction is now in full force.

The thick wall tubing would be fine for this application. Thanks for
your input....I'll pass it on to engineering. van's

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

Revisiting this recent thread, if anyone has a vertical adaptor installed,
how do these filter adaptors fit with regard to the cowl when mounted in the
high-up, straight-back-to-the-firewall position?

I had a hard time finding much info on Blue Mountain autopilot servos in an
RV-10. So, now that I've got them mounted I figure it's worth posting it on
the forum. Hope this helps someone.
No words on how well this system works yet...

Jim, did bma have any info on the servo install or did you have to cook it
up yourself? I'm also going the blue mountain route, Bma sport g4,
w/autopilot, so i'm very interested in your findings.
