I actually put the ELT unit in the baggage compartment just to the left close to the seat back at the first part of the baggage area so it's kind of out of the way. The reason I put it there is because in case of an accident, and I was somehow in a remote area, I would be able to unhook it and take it with me or, with the type I have, it is also a radio so I would be able to communicate. I had thought about hiding it behind the back baggage wall area but thinking the worst thought if somehow the back area was made inaccessible by the accident I wouldn't be able to get at the unit.

The only additional cost is the shipping. Just getting measurements for the height of your stack instruments, however, should be fine. You can make the angle that holds the trays later, or can use radiorax rails. I personally like to have the stack connected to the angle, and fasten it to the panel with screws from the front. This allows you to remove the panel without taking out the radio stack (with all of its wiring going everywhere). The alternative for easy service is to make disconnects coming out the back of the stack, but that is a TON of wires, and a lot of them are shielded (the way Stark wires them up, at least), and I don=92t know the ramifications of using a disconnect on a bunch of shielded wires. I would check with Stark on that. By the way, we use that same stack except the SL40 instead of the SL30, and we are putting the Sorcerer at the bottom of the stack as well. It=92s a very good setup.

Otherwise the bolt would just turn inside the bearing hole rather than the bear doing its job. Has anyone else seen this or is this just one of those things everybody knows?

My recommendation is put just a bolt through the outer hinge and install the inner hinge and control pushrod first. Next look at where the bearing is resting between the outer aileron hinges and estimate the number of washers needed on each side of the bearing. Mine required 2 normal washers on each side of the bearing. Note that the bearing mount will easily move laterally a bit to accomodate small changes. Its more important that the aileron hinge arms are not preloaded than perfectly centering the bearing between the hinge arms. Then check for gross errors as Jesse stated.

If it started out life as an O-540-A1A5 then it's a parallel valve engine (originally rated at 250HP @ 2575) and a good match for an RV-10. If it started out as an IO-540-A1A5 then it's an angle valve engine (originally rated at 290HP @ 2575 RPM) and won't physically fit on an RV-10. Note that Barrett lists 2 variants of the IO-540-X on their web site that are VERY different: the "Light Weight IO-540-X" is based on a parallel valve engine, the "Heavy Hitter IO-540-X" is based on an angle valve engine. It would be easy to identify what this is either by looking at the valve covers or calling Barrett, but based on the information posted so far, there's no way to tell.
