Ron, I had a similar problem with the VS but it occurred whilst I was
adjusting nose ribs for a better fit (previous well known issue) and I was
introducing a twist whilst trying to tighten the skin. Relaxed the shape and
allowed the natural form to dictate the lay up without putting too much
pressure on the fit. The skin should "suck" into the airflow in any case and
unless it drums should not be an issue.
Otherwise you could always shove in a packet of self-expanding packaging
foam!

Thanks all for the responses.
As mentioned, I am at the stages of final assembly and the vast majority of
panels are tighter than a drum. I religiously started riveting from the
centre and worked towards the edges - as you have done Dave. On perhaps a
handful of panels, the skin is not quite so tight and exhibits a slight
'wobble' when pressed in just the right spot, but the skin always recovers
to the relaxed condition. The VS is just way too loose in my mind and needs
to be tightened. I have heard other descriptions of oil canning as the
skin popping out when pressed in a particular place - and staying there
until pressed again. Am I confusing some flex in the panels with something
more insidious?
cheers,
Ron

Ron,
I myself have not had any signs of oil canning. Have done my Hs, wings, Vs,
tailcone 1.5 years ago still have not seen any. Maybe when you were
assembling Hs, wings, Vs, etc. you started at the ends and worked riveting
inward towards centers. I myself started in center of assembles and worked
outward this I thought would help by letting metal shrink/strech outwards
towards the ends of assembles. worked for me I have no oil canning visible
as for solving problem. shrinking metal/streching I would go with tech
recommendations an/or move on and keep building.

I just received this email from rivethead aero. Hopefully David comes good
and it seems by temporarily closing his website he is doing something
positive to fill backorders.
regards Chris 388
RV Builder / Owner:
I apologize for the lack of communication concerning the status
of your order. Over the past weeks I have been working to complete open
orders. If your parts have not shipped yet, they will be on the way very
shortly. I appreciate your frustration.
I assure you Full Throttle Concepts will continue to provide and support
these products. I am very thankful to every member of the RV community for
their support. My intent is to provide parts of good quality, and I want
each person to be satisfied years after their purchase.
I will be temporarily suspending new web orders as I concentrate on
completing orders and building inventory. I will also use this time
implement more efficient tooling and programming in the production
processes. I will open web orders again on 10/12/2007. In an effort to
provide better communication concerning order status, stock level and lead
time information will be added to the website.
Again, I am very thankful to all of the people in the RV community for their
support over the years. Keeping pace with this group can be challenging,
but for me it is very rewarding. I enjoy this work very much and I will
continue to improve my service.
Sincerely,
David Czachorowski

I received my order from Rivethead yesterday, which was the metal door
guides and new polished outside door handles. They really look great. I
have been communicating with Dave's nephew Joe and here is his last
e-mail to me. Dave apparently has a regular job and does the RV stuff on
the side.

Wayne,
Glad you got your parts. Dave has been extremely busy with his job,
and I mean extremely! Hopefully soon for the interior handles. I have
seen his design on Solid Works. I actually got to see them work with
this software. Pretty cool. It will be well worth the wait and the
good news is that you can still use your Vans handles because these are
bolt on replacements.
Glad to hear your painting is coming along. I look forward to seeing
some pics.

Fellow RV 10 Builders
I have purchased Serial number 40732. I have just mounted the tail cone and
am currently working on the baggage door. What a terrific kit!!
I am located in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada and I am building at my hangar at
CYKF.
I heard recently that there is a builder located in Salem, which is not far
from here. If you monitor the list may be you could contact me. Are there
any other builders in the Kitchener area?
I still have not decided on prop yet but I am leaning towards the 3 blade
MT. I don't like the fact it is a wooden prop but I am familiar with the
smoothness of the 3 blades.
Hopefully in the next while there will be a bit more clarity on the ELT
situation so an informed decision can be made.
Thanks

Wayne,
I have an MT three blade prop on my RV-10 and love the takeoff power and vi
bration free operation (I understand the two blade is also very smooth and
has all the push you need for takeoff). Probably a tad slower than the two
blade but it does look sexy. Little nicks are easy to fix on the composite
cover. I got a few in Mexico and fixed them with some five minute epoxy pe
r the MT manuel.

The battery is in Vans location on the centerline. I was a little surprised
to see the extra 6 lbs. on the right wheel. The trutrak servo is in the
right wing so that's certainly part of the difference but I didn't weigh it
before I installed it.

| Subject: | Brake cylinder assembly question |
Hello,
just a quick question on the brake cylinder as described on page 46-07 Step 2&3.
Both cylinder are identical that means I have two "left sides" because the bleeder
valve on the right side points up and not down. Was it the same with yours?
Also it calls for AD822-4D elbow fittings but they wont fit in the threaded
holes in the cylinder (hole is too small).
2.Question Front tire tube installation, did you remove all washers even the one
which protects the tube see attached picture (washer on the right).
