    Michael, page 46-07 step 2 tells you to remove one of the fittings from the top to the bottom effectively creating a "right side". Have you correctly identified the elbow fitting, (AN822-4D) I don't recall a problem here.

    Michael, Yes, it's the same, you need to remove a bleeder and move it to the other side to create a "right" caliper. The plans have instructions on doing this. Yes, remove all the washers from the tube and beofre you install it for good, make a bend so the fill valve does not hit the fork unless you swapped out the wheel assembly and are not using the Van's supplied wheel.

    Subject: Removing the front seats
    I remember someone saying that they filed/ground down the back of the seat that rides on the rails so it would pass the flap cover. I haven't done that. I always just remove the flap cover. The other option, depending on what you need to do, is slide the seat back and do your thing with it back. I can get up under the panel by just sliding the seat as far back as it can go, lean the seat back, and get up under there. I am 6'1", 230 Lbs, so it is not comfortable, but it works.

    Subject: Re: Removing the front seats
    It takes a little work, but it's possible. What you do is to trim a bevel into that nylon slide runner on the seat side of the rails. You trim it on the front side of the rails, so that when you pull the seat latch off and slide it all the way back, there's enough slop that you can tip the back of the seat upwards. It's much harder to explain than to see...but it's just loosening up the first 3/4" or so of that nylon glide.

    I figure when someone really comes through beaming, it's nice to pass it on. A year ago after my Lasik I went looking for some good sunglasses for flying, and yeah, I bought the marketing and decided to go with a pair made by Randolph Engineering. They make them for the military and they have a few various types and lens shades. Well, I dropped them on the blacktop and chipped a lens a little. Decided I liked them after a year, so I bought 2 more pair...one for spare in the plane and one for the car or other. I sent the original pair in, with a note telling them the age of them, and that I personally dropped them and chipped them, but would like to buy new lenses and that they should just bill me accordingly. They sent back a brand new pair of glasses for ZERO dollars. Sure, to them I'm sure that's a simple and cheap thing. To me, it shows great customer service. I figured a public "thanks" would be nice, hence this post. -- Tim Olson - RV-10 N104CD - Flying

    Yeah, without wasting too much list bandwidth...(we did this a few months ago too)....it's working very well for me and I only wish I had done it sooner, however the technology used when I did it was fairly new...so it was probably a worthwhile wait. Now that's just my results. I know others have had lesser results than me, so it's not a universal endorsement. For some people it could make their lives worse. I didn't, in my case though. Very happy. If anyone wants more info from me on that, just email off-list and I'll be happy to fill you in.

    Subject: Oil Canning
    From: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com>
    Last night at work (2AM local), I asked the former VANS Quality Control Inspector his opinion on your dilemma. "The kit is so well formed that few compound curves exist. The exterior skin should lay (naturally and *tight*) against the underlying framing structure - everywhere." Yes, you can use Draw Clecos but he says they were rarely needed. Most often it is the flanges not being bent or fluted consistently to the correct angle so they cause either a dimple or pimple to act on the skin. A few of the symmetric parts such as bulkheads have a left and right side which could contribute to a need for modifying the flanges. Occasionally they would see a hurried rigging and lay-up early on the build process before the manufacturer fully understood the technique. Most of the Horizontal and Wing are constant rib design to help reduce such a problem. On the RV-10 several differing competitive teams (A-B-C-D) to build subsections (Empennage - Fuselage - FWF - Canopy) which could occasionally cause fitment dissimilarity. We builders tend to think if it as one big parts team. The use of shim stock or tapered shims could correct some miss alignment issues (which I have seen on a few inspections). Usually the builder accepts the occasional pimple (outty) or dimple (inny) as being a simple rock in the road to completion. There were a series of bad parts (not VANS phrase) on the RV-9 but the RV-10 has been pretty solid in the parts fabrication area. (Not to take away from what John Hilger and others ran into with cracked parts). As I understand it, the QC Department is now closed there. I guess they have reached perfection ;-) We are often using 0.070 or 0.090 skin at work and several layers "webs" (it's a pressure vessel) and the skin must be in full contact with the underlying semi-monoque framing everywhere before wet riveting. When replacing panels, we use Lexan for a template and black fine tip markers to get the edges within 0.001 of the original skin. It often stretches upon removal - hence the pulling of a template. He said more attention to flange "finish" angle and the consequence of "Springback" when they formed the part originally will help. Fluting pliers is another tool. I am attaching pdf's of what draw clecos look like. In a production environment, we use a pneumatic draw cleco tool to speed the process of installation and removal of the clecos. Again oil canning is rare, is usually seen on assemblies completed early in the RV-10 build - and is rare but you are certainly not alone. Proper preparation of each framing member will reduce the likelihood. Some parts needed grinding on the curved flanges because they caused a projecting "hard point". Drilling it and pulling it "in" might be a USAF Air Force One thing cause they are not Certificated aircraft or OBAM built aircraft (they are Bureau built). Naval aviators would just slap Okum on it - like the expanding foam idea. I don't know what Army Air Corp guys would do, they started in balloons didn't they? Questions and Responses are what make this build so great.

Searched the RV-10 archives and there is very little there. I guess I can only assume that no other RV-10 builder has any oil canning. The general RV archives are only a little more enlightening. What happened to the good old days - when a basic building query met with half a dozen or more immediate useful suggestions? I hope the list has not not exhausted itself as a resource for builder assistance. I know oil canning is common on all metal aircraft, but I am interested in solutions that the -10 crowd may have deployed to reduce or eliminate the problem - unless of course I am the ONLY crappy builder with oil canning. cheers, Ron 187 finishing ________________________________ From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of McGANN, Ron Sent: Monday, 17 September 2007 8:38 PM To: rv10-list@matronics.com Subject: RV10-List: Oil Canning Hey all, Getting to the final assembly stage.

The only other oil canning I have is very minor on one or two of the lower wing skin panels, so the VS is really giving me the irrits.

I have a follow up appointment this week and if I want, they will tweak the right eye to get it closer to or to 20/15, no extra charge. It is really nice to fly and not worry about losing a lens.

    Yeah, I exaggerated a bit when I made it sound like work. The worst part was pulling the seats in and out to test the cuts made with the exacto. And, unless you want to end up like Stein, you have to be careful with those Exacto knives! ;) I believe Anh, for those who missed it long ago, was the originator of the "fix" by trimming.
