Cool, I didn't know anyone else saw my LED click-lights and copied them. I think that they're an excellent way to go. I put them in last March and think it's a great way to get lighting in the plane for those without the overhead console. http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/upgrades/20070321/index.html Not only that, but it is independent from the electrical system so in a pinch you have light to work from. I added one in the baggage area too. The seat belt hangars look good too. I'm hanging them from the more common location that I stole from Randy, from brackets mounted under the door hinges, but it's really the same basic theory. Jesse covers his in Leather which is very very nice. I used a little too thin aluminum, so I'll probably re-work mine some day. When you hang them though, they're out of the way pretty well, and easy for you to reach to put on. Good stuff.

I have added a page to our web site for details on our RV-10 construction project. I got a lot of requests for more information on the equipment tray I designed for the "junk in the trunk" so I put together some photos, description and a drawing in pdf format. Its no 'Olson documentary' but the basics are there. If you need more info let me know. So visit our site and click on the navigation tab for "RV-10 project" www.tcwtech.com Thanks, Bob Newman ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:20:03 AM PST US From: "Bob-tcw" Subject: RV10-List: Dual Battery/ Equipment Tray Fellow RV builders.

Deems, I went with the standard black Van's on my RV-10, however I used Summit Racing seat belts on my Skybolt and RV-6. They worked great and are a whole lot cheaper. They come in a variety of colors, the downside is you have their logo on the front (might be able to cut it off, I honestly don't know). There are other racing belts out there that would probably work just as well.

I need to order and install seatbelts. After waffling back and forth on whether to go with inertial reels and the associated changes to mount them, I've reached a new milestone in my build experience, I'm passing up a Mod!!!!! I'm going to go with the standard Van's configuration, and just learn to deal with the "dangling belts". So, I know Van's sells them in Black and Grey. But I'd like to consider something else. Since we're not doing acro, I'd also prefer a more streamlined clasp/keeper rather than the military style. Where are others getting your belts from? Lead times? For those who been flying are there any things you'd do or order different if you did it over again?

Deems- I went with Vans sexy tan belts. Ended up dropping the rear seat shoulder harnesses to minimize the clutter in the back. The coach passengers have a nice soft front seat as a crash pad. It has all worked well and would do the same again (which ain't going to happen). Good thing about building an RV-10 is we picked the right plane the first time! Got the rear shoulder harnesses if you want them. Never used.

(Yeah, I did away with the center bone-breaker lug in the rear) I don't know the exact model I ordered, but I just told them to sell me the color I wanted (they have tons), and make the belts "just like Randy's" from that famous RV-10 N610RV. They work well, and don't look too unusual, and the passengers actually appreciate it when I show them how they buckle together and explain that the belts used are there for good safety, being similar to 4 point racing harnesses. You'll probably want to call them for more details on model number of belts, but for me I didn't provide much...just what I said above.
