This seat adjustment lever is great. Just bought if from Greg, I was to busy trying
to finish to build one myself. His is well made and a good design. So much
better that having to reach beside the seat and pull the lever. Here is his
website, check it out for yourself.

I deliver the plane to him with no primer and walk away. He does all the
disassembling and reassembling. I check around a little bit and I think
he has a fair price for the quality of work that he does. I know of one
10 builder who paid $14,000 for his paint job, ouch. I think he's
charging around $6,000 for the RV6's and 8's.
I just want someone to paint my plane that I know does excellent work

Hello Ted,
I will have the Aero Composite three blade but I'm guessing that would
be about the same as the MT for mounting purposes? We used a 1/8"
spacer. I also don't have my propeller yet but Aero Composite sent me a
mount plate to use so I can fit the cowling. Maybe MT can furnish you
one also?
I was just working on it yesterday and the top cowling went on fairly
quickly, I had help.
I've attached a few photo's for you to see what we've done thus far. I'm
installing cam locks and will have them spaced at around 3".

RV builders tend to bring a different conservative bent to pricing of
final topcoats. Tom Conner in Bend charges the Lancair guys upwards of
$26,000 all the way above $34,000 to meet the definition of excellent
work. He is more than 24 months backlogged. True, all composite skins
require lots of correction and fill. Thank goodness for 2024 and flush
rivets. The EPA rules and charges have pushed the chemicals into a
pricing schedule which exceeds VNE. If anyone has missed Scott
Schmidt's latest web post "Going to the Hangar", you will see the new
benchmark on RV-10 Topcoats. My guess is that Ray and Scott chose to
delay the unveiling until they can sweep Grand Champion next year at
OSH.
Our local guy is retiring cause he has gotten tired of the tremendous
amount of prep required to take it from "drop off" to "excellent". He
won't use immigrant labor to complete the mundane tasks. On a separate
note, Tim Olson posted the most cost effective way to get to a great
paintjob at the lowest cost by doing the right steps. We have lots of
choices. And then there is Checkoway who will never finish from the
primer/bare Alclad stage.
Paint Envy anyone?

| Subject: | Flywheel to cowling front distance |
Has anyone else heard the progress by Hartzell on their Composite
Scimitar 3 blade? It was announced at OSH and I read a big article on
it in print over in Germany last week. I am guessing they wanted to
tweak Gert's nose on the development. I would bet Jim Ayers will have
his hands full on refunds if it outperforms the MT. Light, Made in
America, high performance and sexy too.
Looking for more data and delivery schedule.

I concur completely that Don at Aviacomp is the man to see about
anything for your heating system. At my request, he redesigned the T
that goes in the forward tunnel to direct the heat to the forward
footwell areas, to include a selector valve. It is a drop in replacement
for the original, and with the use of a cable, I can now mix the forward
heat to either side, a must have requirement for my cold blooded other
half, flying partner. It was a true pleasure working with Don on this
very simple, yet useful mod, that Vans should offer in their accessory
catalog. If you need to see a picture, email me cjhukill@cox.net

Jim, thanks for posting this, it looks great! I've been trying to dream up
such a thing as there just isn't enough room to comfortably work the current
T-handle. Putting the handle toward the center of the airplane would help,
but there physically isn't enough room in my machine on the right side for
some reason.

That is the reason why Grady O'Neal at GLO Custom Paint is booked up
through July of 2007. I know because an RV-8 I am helping finished up
just booked his paint date and the earliest he could get with Grady was
July 2007!!!!
If you want the best at a reasonable price you really have to plan
ahead. I booked my paint date (currently in Grady's paint booth)
January of 2006. Grady requires a 10% deposit to hold a paint date.
Pictures should be posted by next week.

| Subject: | 113" fuse longeron angle - mark it "don't cut" |
--> RV10-List message posted by: "Ben Westfall" <rv10@sinkrate.com>
I did something similar as well with the tailcone J-Channel but x 6. I
trimmed all 12 to length properly with no problems but didn't look that
carefully at the plans to "Trim the ends at a 45 deg angle as shown in
figure 2". After I finished cutting the angle on the last of 12 I looked at
the one in my hand and said... "Huh? That doesn't look right!"
Sure enough I cut the 45 not from the vertical edge but the horizontal so
all of them came to a point at the corner. When I squared off the now
messed up edges the 6 long ones were now too short.
The messed up 93"ers became the 6 shorter ones. All the others became wall
art. I robbed the wing kit, which I just picked up the day before, of the 6
8' J-Channel in it. Key word is "PICKED UP". Van's is a 20 minute drive
from my place. Still soaked me for $13.75 x 6 = $82.50 but no down time or
expensive freight snafu's.
So the lesson learned is of course read the plans more carefully before
cutting anything (or move closer to Van's).

Yeah, I'm in a similar boat with a tailcone J-Channel. Like a doofus (sp?) I
cut one of the 93"ers too short and had to order a new one from Vans.
Naturally it shows up the Friday before a long labor day weekend bent at
about 35 degrees. I called vans the following week and they sent another
one which arrived today so badly bent the driver didn't even bother to wait
until I opened it. Looking at the tube he just said, "Oh man, I'd better
send this back."
Turns out that even PVC pipe is not enough to protect parts from the
shipping people, who apparently spend a good deal of time smashing things
with hammers.
Now I'm headed off to Reno (Dago Red is running this year!) and am wondering
what the chances are that I'll find a decent 8' length of J-channel waiting
on my porch when I get back.
Anyway, let that be a lesson to the guys/girls just starting. Cut the long
pieces first!!

paid $14,000 for his paint job, ouch. I think he's charging around $6,000 for
the RV6's and 8's.

What page of the plans are the cutting of the J-Channels on so I don't
make the same mistake.

I did something similar as well with the tailcone J-Channel but x 6. I
trimmed all 12 to length properly with no problems but didn't look that
carefully at the plans to "Trim the ends at a 45 deg angle as shown in
figure 2". After I finished cutting the angle on the last of 12 I
looked at the one in my hand and said... "Huh? That doesn't look
right!"
Sure enough I cut the 45 not from the vertical edge but the horizontal
so all of them came to a point at the corner. When I squared off the
now messed up edges the 6 long ones were now too short.
The messed up 93"ers became the 6 shorter ones. All the others became
wall art. I robbed the wing kit, which I just picked up the day before,
of the 6 8' J-Channel in it. Key word is "PICKED UP". Van's is a 20
minute drive from my place. Still soaked me for $13.75 x 6 = $82.50 but
no down time or expensive freight snafu's.
So the lesson learned is of course read the plans more carefully before
cutting anything (or move closer to Van's).

Yeah, I'm in a similar boat with a tailcone J-Channel. Like a doofus
(sp?) I cut one of the 93"ers too short and had to order a new one from
Vans. Naturally it shows up the Friday before a long labor day weekend
bent at about 35 degrees. I called vans the following week and they
sent another one which arrived today so badly bent the driver didn't
even bother to wait until I opened it. Looking at the tube he just
said, "Oh man, I'd better send this back."
Turns out that even PVC pipe is not enough to protect parts from the
shipping people, who apparently spend a good deal of time smashing
things with hammers.
Now I'm headed off to Reno (Dago Red is running this year!) and am
wondering what the chances are that I'll find a decent 8' length of
J-channel waiting on my porch when I get back.
Anyway, let that be a lesson to the guys/girls just starting. Cut the
long pieces first!!

| Subject: | Hartzell Composite Prop |
--> RV10-List message posted by: Eric Panning <ericmpmail-rv10@yahoo.com>
John,
Details below, more on the Hartzell press page:
http://www.hartzellprop.com/pressroom/index_press.htm
Looks great! -Eric
PIQUA, Ohio - July 24, 2006 - Hartzell Propeller Inc.
announced today that it has received FAA certification
for its new ASC-II second generation Advanced
Structural Composite propeller system. Hartzell's
ASC-II is the first FAA certified advanced structural
composite propeller developed specifically for the
general aviation market.
Hartzell's ASC-II is the result of the company's
nearly 30 year experience in the design and
manufacture of advanced structural composite
propellers. The Hartzell ASC-II is an optimized design
mated to a proprietary, Hartzell-developed
manufacturing process. The result is an advanced
structural composite propeller that delivers all of
the advantages provided by Hartzell's first generation
of composite propellers - low weight, low inertia, and
low life cycle costs - while minimizing the major
disadvantage: the high cost manufacturing process.
