What you need to do is contact Matco, easiest way is to e-mail tech@matcomfg.com and explain what you want. The replacement wheel is the WHLNW511.25, the difference is that hub is machined for the longer stem of the inner tube we use. I dealt with George Happ who was most professional. They will advise you of your costs and options available. The wheel has to be in absolutely brand new condition for the simple exchange. They apply a handling charge to make the swap as well as charging return postage. My costs were in Ozzie Dollars and therefore not applicable to most. They will supply you with a RMA which must be exhibited on the return parcel. Again, I can't comment on timescales as I'm on the other side of the world!

But I did ask him about the tightness issue and he told me I should tighten the bolt to about 160 to 190 " lbs and the wheel and if I try and turn it by hand it will be a little hard to turn and shouldn't spin freely. Again for what ever that worth Wayne Edgerton #40336 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:37:06 AM PST US From: "Marcus Cooper" Subject: RV10-List: N585MR Signed Off --> RV10-List message posted by: "Marcus Cooper" S/N 40286 has been approved to fly as of 1200 today. The experience was great and the DAR was great to work with. He was very thorough and fortunately had nothing mechanical to speak of, just recommended I tidy up the wiring behind the panel some. Nothing to keep me from flying right then and there (aside from the fact all the inspection panels were removed)! However, I'm going to hold off until next Saturday to fly to get all the panels back on and give my Dad a chance to fly down and be part of the festivities. For anyone interested, I opted for the following equipment: Aerosport IO-540-D4A5 with Lightspeed ignition and one Magneto Grand Rapids dual EFIS and EIS Dynon EFIS (as my backup) Garmin 430 audio, 480 GPS Nav/Comm, SL-30 Nav/Comm and 327 Xpdr DVD player with popout/swivel screen (from eBay, don't ya love homebuilts) I'll post pictures of the airplane and panel with my "first flight" message.

Cox" --> RV10-List message posted by: "John W. Cox" Congrats Marcus, what a great accomplishment. Sharing with your dad will make a special moment for a lifetime. Yesterday we had a memorial service for David Lewis, Sr. who with his son Dave held the record for the largest number of RVs constructed. 37. Yes, there have been renegades before John Nys and Jesse. Dick was there for just a few minutes out of respect but he is staunchly strong on protecting the 51% rule and left before all the stories of their career adventures. You may get to see Mr. Lewis's biggest achievement which is a one of a kind Fairchild at OSH '07. You are the reason. What a great product. Fly safe - live long.

Way to go! Congratulations! I'm hoping it'll be just the opposite. That I can have my son come see mine fly when I'm done. Either way, son to father or father to son, what a great, great feeling.
