I've had several flights with 4 folks of different sizes with no significant
impact. Maybe I've just been lucky so far.
I would certainly not avoid having aileron trim, my thoughts were that's it
just not an absolute "must have".

Have you spent much time with 4 seats full yet? I find the
aileron trim a must depending on who's filling my seats
and how we pack them in. there are times i wouldn't want
to be without it, and times when I have no need for it.
But, I would recommend it to everyone as worthwhile.

I would agree. Not a Must have, but I've found it useful.
I suppose I could say the same for rudder trim.... I don't have
that yet, but I'd certainly be adding it if I hadn't painted yet.
I will probably add it in the winter season.
I flew 975 miles yesterday to Albuquerque from Wisconsin and
found w/o rudder trim There wee times My fuel gauges read improperly.
Going to LOE, on Friday and sat.
for you Vegas dudes, I'll Probably be coming there tonight. Going
to VGT. Not any time for much visiting.... have
the kids. Today is the Canyon and tomorrow more sights to see.
feel free to find the plane though. I'll have my cell.

I'm trying to get everything done to the canopy cover before I install
it, and can't find any instructions on how to mount the front seat
shoulder harness to the canopy. I have all the kits, but haven't bought
seat belts yet. I can't find any instructions on how to mount the
harness, nor can I find anything in the archives.
Does anyone have any clues for me?

| Subject: | Wingtip installation with hinges |
--> RV10-List message posted by: "Jesse Saint" <jesse@itecusa.org>
Don't remember which issue, but have done it and really like it. The main
issue is getting the crack between the wingtip and the wing as small/tight
as possible. We had to put a couple of screws at the front of the wingtip,
but the hinge pins hold everything else, and then the pin takes a bend and
is held in by a hinge tab screwed into a nutplate in the little metal rib
that goes in the back of the wingtip. It works well. The way we did it was
to drill both halves of the hinge before cutting the flange off the wingtip,
then used the part we cut off as a shim to hold the hinge to the wing while
holding the surface of the wingtip flush with the wing skin. A metal shim
can also be used. It is fairly important not to cut the flange off the
wingtip before drilling the holes, in my opinion, because it can be fairly
hard to get the hinge spaced right.
Hope this helps.

Chris,
Info is in the second issue of 2005. Great article! Thought I might
do the same but don't think it will work well with the Archer nav antennas
in the tips. If you have a different opinion let me know.

| Subject: | QB Floor Pans and Snap Bushing source |
I finally bit the bullet and did it right (IMHO). I took my Columbus Day
and removed the gear brackets, fwd floor pans (only a few rivets in each to
hold them) and the covers for the control sticks that screws to the front of
the seat area. Then I vacuumed, cleaned, primed the areas, laid the Super
SoundProofing with Sticky Stuff, and then reinstalled everything. Total
time spent was all day, 12 hours. Hardest part was getting the bolts out of
the holes that go through the spar areas. There's not a whole lot of room
for fingers and tools, so you just have to work at it. Backing the bolts
out was VERY tedious. I took a few pics and will try to post some.
Oh, another thing. If you are shorted a few snap bushings and don't want to
have to pay Van's or someone else shipping on some $.07 bushings, do what I
did - on the bushing itself is the name of the company, HEYCO, in Tom's
River, NJ. After realizing that my local supplier didn't carry them and the
minimum order was in the 1000's of parts, I went to the website,
www.heyco.com <http://www.heyco.com/> . Heyco has a sampling service where
you can type in the part number that you need (up to 6 I think) and tell
them how many you would like to sample. Not to be greedy, I asked for 6 of
two different sizes and they arrived in the mail today. I also asked for a
catalog to check their other goodies..

You need to remove the gear mounts and check all the bolt holes that hold
them in as all the side holes on mine were F%$#@ up so I had to enlarge and
put bigger bolts in. Other QB builders have reported this! Its usualy the R
side only.
So worth tacking out just for that.

Do you have a good source for #30 &40 reamers?

super sweet. that's the article i was lookin fer. even better, since
it's in color, has clickable pics, more of them, and i can stop lookin
for my RVator that grew legs and ran away. Thanks Zack!
for John -
i'm doing the hinge wingtips for a couple reasons. it looks way cleaner
and doesn't chip paint installing and removing screws (as long as i
don't accidentally bash the tips into the wings putting them on and
off). in my wingtips, i'm installing the usual suspects. a Bob Archer
nav antenna in one, possibly a com antenna in the other, and i've got
strobes and nav lights to go in there. also, it's a good way to tinker
with the duckworks HIDs that are in the last bay in both wings, and also
i have an AOA in there. sounds like a lot of poop in there, and it is.
i can't imagine that it'll all just work the first time out, and forever
thereafter! Like to have easy(ier) access.

All,
Just unpacked my FWF kit. Was planning on the B&C alternator and
external reg. Forgot to exclude the Vans ES 60 amp alt from the FWF
kit. Backup will be the B&C 20 amp with ext reg. Any negative
comments/experiences with the Vans unit??
cheers,
Ron

Avery for one, probably all the tool outfits have them. I like the reamers
better than the drills because the little to no deburring after using one on
a pilot hole. You will also have some use for the 12" #40 and #30 drill
bits. I bought a 3/16" and 1/4" reamer and use them to finish up those holes
rather than the number bits called for to eliminate as much slop as possible
when fitting parts.
