Pete,
I was just out there and visited a guy on Oahu building a -7A and another who is
flying a -6. Don't know of any -10s though. E-mail me at marc 'at' verticalpower.com
if you want me to send you their info. They're always glad to talk with

Here's another gizmo I cooked up yesterday. It works great so far -- no engine,
wings, tail feathers, so it's not a legitimate test to pass yet. But for $2
worth of metal at the scrap yard it seems pretty substantial.
I haven't seen anything like this, but it makes sense to me to make one ear static,
the other slides in, add tension to spring the yoke with your thumb while
sliding in the lynch pin (Home Depot).
You probably wouldn't want to try to take it with you, but it should do the job
in the hangar. Today I'll add paint.
By the way, any comments on why hydraulic fluid is better than brake fluid? Surfing,
it seems to be a flammable issue?
Working on wheel pants today.

One way is to install a temporary clear auto type fuel filter in a line
going from the firewall fuel fitting to gas cans, or via a temporary hose to
the other gas tank. If you are using an in line fuel filter, like the
Airflow Performance one Van's sells, this should be removed and replaced
with a straight piece of tubing so that you don't trap the trash in it. You
want all the trash to end up in temporary filter.
Fill one tank, sump the tank until you get a clear sample, and then use the
boost pump to pump the fuel into gas cans or the other tank via the auto
filter. This way you have clean gas to use over and over until you are
satisfied the trash is gone. If you see any particles while sumping the
tanks you are not yet done. You may want to agitate the gas in the tank by
rocking the wing to help dislodge particles and get them to the bottom of
the tank.
This is also the time to do a first check to make sure you have minimum fuel
flow rate (final check is after you reinstall the permanent inline filter)
and calibrate the fuel senders if you are using an electronic engine
indication system.

Another good source. I missed them since they are not in the current catalog.
That is a place to get lost in for sure. [Shocked]

I voted to get an AFS3500 system but I am backing it up with:
1. Vertical card compass mounted on cabin to support bracket
2. B/U Steam air speed
3. B/U Steam altimeter
4. B/U Tru-Trak ADI
I would have preferred the Mid-continent - but cannot justify the cost.
Tru-Trak seems to have about 90% of the B/U market. It is almost rare to see a

Absolutely brilliant in it's simplicity. The bar most of us are using has
tension closing the bar and it takes a bit of caution when closing in on the
bolts not to accidentally hit the wheel pant and damage the paint. Your
idea takes the threat out completely.
As you said maybe not so good to travel with as it looks a bit heavy with
the materials you chose, but thanks for sharing the great idea.

Thanks, Marcus!
OK, just for the fun of it, I added a thumb rest. The paint is just rattle can
Rustoleum I was using up.
I don't know if it shows in the picture very well, but the inner shaft (1/2 ID,
1/8 wall steel tube) was just a little too loose in the sleeve for my liking,
so I flatted one side to make it more like a "D"(keeping the axel end round)
, and welded a bit of a matching flat on the female sleeve. That not only snugged
it up, but keeps the hole oriented for easy alignment with the pin.

Recommend you use a fluid less volatile than gasoline for the process...like
water or stoddard solvent.

| Subject: | Re: Trimming the cowling |
I cut the top cowl in today...Guys and Gals I gotta tell you the masking tape to
mark the firewall cut is the BOMB!!!! Perfect fit with only a few passes with
the sanding block needed. The only thing I did different was to use the tape
as a guide to apply a fine pen line that I cut just shy of then hand sanded to
that line. I was worried the tape would gum up the cut off wheel. Dremel has
a new line of cut off wheels added to their line of products made just for plastic,
only metal was previously available. I use two wheels so far and that inclusdes
the slot in the bottom cowl, my slot is much long due to the three blade
prop...highly recommended these nifty cut off wheels.

Subject: RV10-List: Re: Trimming the cowling
Rick,
Like Michael I found it necessary to trim the inner and outer walls of the air
inlet to get the upper an lower portions to come together. I also trimmed about
2" along the side of the upper cowl. Once you have the upper and lower cowl
in position(let the sides of the lower cowl overlap the outside of the upper cowl)
you can decide where you want the side seams to be. Lay out your chosen line
on the upper cowl, cut and sand to a straight edge. Then you can use the masking
tape trick to transfer that line to the lower cowl. I failed to mention
in an earlier post that I also used the masking tape routine to fit my doors
to the cabin top. It is much easier than trimming a little at a time until it
comes together.
Don't worry if you take off a little too much at some point. It is easy to build
up an edge with a little flox if needed. Also I have seen several 10's where
the rivets that hold the piano hinge to the cowling(and/or the paint) have started
to crack out. I dealt with that by putting a 2 bid tape over the rivet lines.

how long is the cut for the slot that you did. I also have a three blade prop and
I know I need to cut the slot longer. It works right now because the front
gear wheel sits on a box.
