Take a punch and drive the pin out. Not needed on the RV-10.

Subject: RV10-List: Engine Iso Mounts
Tried an engine hanging today.
My boss mounts each have a roll pin in the hole that each iso mount fits over to
ensure correct orientation when installing. However, my iso mounts from Van's
do not have the corresponding hole for the pin to sit in.
Which is right, the boss mount or the iso mount? I notice that the plans (FFWD
page 4 or 5?) show the hole as empty, but we know that the pictures are not always
accurate.

Hey Robin,
Thanks for the door pictures. We just installed the hinges yesterday. Even trying
to pay attention to the unique orientation, I still managed to get one set
on reversed fore and aft!
Here's a couple of questions:
1) It looks on one picture that you have weather stripping installed? Still fit?
I had thought of temporarily attaching the weather strip with something less
sticky than "Gorilla Snot" to get the fit right before final installing.
Weather strip goes on after painting?
2) Did you just drill and tap the canopy hinge to attach the covers? I had thought
of using the scrap fiberglass from the window cutouts instead of metal.
Later, - Lew

Just finished the testing of the fuel sensors , EIS 6000 calibration and the
test of the boost pump. The display show only 1.2 psi but the Chelton shows
12 PSI. What PSI are we supposed to see for the Van's injection boost pump?
BTW I suggest pouring some mineral spirits or Av gas through the tanks and
draining through the sump before connecting to your fuel lines and boost
pump. It took four flushes of the right QB tank and two flushes of the left
tank before there were no contaminants showing. Otherwise the proseal
fragments and other debris just collects on the screens and fuel filter. It
requires two -8D caps to seal the ends of the tanks. Also when bending the
wire for the floats be sure to get the piece that penetrates the float bent
at a right angle. If the angle is slightly acute it can bind and cause the
float to stick at empty.

Here's a little before and after I did just now while waiting for the wife to get
more beautiful.
I'm thinking that for sorta a lock, instead of leaving the "button" sticking out
on the outside to push in to release it, I might shave it off so that it's recessed,
weld a cap on it, and then you can insert any key, etc. in it to depress
it. Not much, but somewhat of a deterrent -- and more aerodynamic, weather
tight.

John. I'll contact you off line, and, of course will forward the
cutter to the next guy on the list. I used the Hooker belts. I also
modified the system, as has others, such that the rear shoulder belts
are connected to the canopy just like the front shoulder belts. You, of
course, have to make hard points in the canopy but that is very easy
especially if the canopy is not on the plane yet. And if you locate
those hard points in the right location the Hooker rear shoulder belts
fit perfectly without modification (something that I didn't do so I had
to add some length to the harness). And thanks for the tool
sharing---very cool. Jay

obviously an orange bucket with three gallons of AV gas and the residue at

You should be able to get up in the 30's with the boost pump

I suggested that it be passed on from builder to builder. I think Jay

I suggest contacting either of them, because I don't know where it's

Very nice Tim! So I can assume you were using the tie down ring
locations under the wing as the jack point? I was concerned that it may
not be strong enough, but it sounds like like a non-issue.

We built a set like Tim's and they work great. Make sure you have a
head that goes on the top of the jack that will allow it to swivel a
little bit so you don't put undue side loads on the tie down bases.
I talked to Van's and they said this is the preferred way to jack it
up. Also, the same jack is a great way to hold up the tail without
the engine installed. As Tim said, you will use these in the future
for maintenance.

Hi there John, could you please indicate the part number for the

Regarding harnesses, I have just purchased a set colour matched to my
