Didn't ask. I would think that a 3 would be an absolute minimum. I am also a
little concerned about the design of the tab flexing in a max petal deflection.
But that is all about experimental building. The concept is there, now the next
improvement [Question]

So, I have to put in those little rings, too?
Ok, enough of this. There was a discussion at some point about the PITA of
the parking break, especially sticking parking breaks. I've actually never
had to use a parking break, other than making double sure the breaks were on
during run-up, and, given the little brain, did not think of the obvious.

If you fly into Bullhead Laughlin and go to the lower GA ramp you
do....makes life a bunch easier by yourself to keep the airplane from
rolling while you get out and chock it and tie it down...you DO tie it down

While trying to install some brake lines this morning I noticed that I had
a scratch on the brake line in the tunnel that I had installed some time ag
o. Its about 1/4 inch from the end of the tube and it might possibly be fr
om the flaring tool. Does anyone know or have experience as to the critica
lity of this? Does the line need to be replaced?=0A =0Athanks=0A=0ANiko=0A

Hi
Brake pipes ' or bundy tube, is highly resistant to corrosion, and
there
shouldn=92t be a problem. If the scratch is deep, and you feel
uncertain,
rather replace, as pressures in the braking system (open to correction)
can
exceed 120 bar.

It's not required or needed until your away from your home airport and
the only parking in transient hard surface has a slight grade to it, and
you're the only occupant. ;-)

| Subject: | Before closing up the top of the Tailcone |
--> RV10-List message posted by: "John Jessen" <jjessen@rcn.com>
Ok, I'm about ready to rivet the top skin to the tailcone, but before I do I
wanted to know what I should do that would make life easier. Went to the
archives and found that maybe I should put in a shelf for the Crossbow or
something similar, maybe put in some conduit, maybe install an ELT antennae.
I won't do a hat shelf at this point in time, since I'm running slow and
will wait on that. I want to do an overhead console, but not air
conditioning, so don't need to reserve space for that. I will do a camera
in embedded in the VS, but that simply means routing some wires.
What say the collective? What should one do when it's easy to get inside?

Anyone have experience at retrieving contents of hard drives that fail to

I ran my rudder cables before installing the rear deck. Bolted the retainer
clamp around the plastic sleeve tubes through the side skins, ran the cables
forward through two snap rings and left the forward ends in the shipping bag
rolled up and zip tied for future connection.

"Park" would mean that it's an automatic, no clutch so ya gotta push it to
45 MPH to get it to turn over & start. (from a very old joke)

I'm very near joining the tailcone to the fuselage. Should I take care of these
areas now before the two sections are joined? I'm concerned about weight being
in the tailcone once it's attached. How are you guys addressing this after
the fact?
Thanks,

Chris, I have been looking for the round hole latch (Hartwell equivalent
function) variety for some time with no luck. They are available as I just
saw one on a new Micco (Meyers 145 maybe) that flew in for an airshow. It
was like the round cover Access used on wheel pants (link below) except that
as you pushed it in, it released a latching mechanism. Very clean!
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/hapages/accessdoors.php
Maybe someone else can help? Last resort would be to call the folks at
Tecnam (Micco Aircraft Company) and ask them where they got them?

Just curious if anyone wired or was planning on wiring your plane like s
everal Beechcrafts are wired with the switch that Grounds out when activ
ated as the leads to all the guages/instruments/avionics are wired HOT 2
4/7? This way if a wire ever cracks and SHORTS or grounds to the plane
the grounded unit just turns ON. The long runs to the wingtips could
be wired on a normal E-bus if you did not want the long wire runs to be
HOT all the time.
I am sure Bob Nuckoll has a thought on this but I am not aware of his po
sition.
thanks,

Maybe someone else can help? Last resort would be to call the folks at
Tecnam (Micco Aircraft Company) and ask them where they got them?

Yea, but I was thinking about the round hole versions that you see on some
aircraft.

What weight are you talking about? Accessory weight, physical body weight
when crawling in to make connections? I haven't added weight.

I'm talking about crawling around in there to make the connections to the
static lines, wiring, cables, etc. Seems like it would be a bad thing after
the connection of the fuselage and the tailcone.

Anything you can put inside the tail cone will make life easier later.
However, you will probably have to crawl back there once or twice later
anyway. I wouldn't worry about your body weight. Someone did a test some
time ago. It took some 2000lbs before a rivet gives in if I remember
correctly. But try to distribute your weight as much as you can. I put
pieces of soft foam in between the J-channels and a 1/2" board on top. It
works out fine.
