| Subject: | Nose Gear Axle Spacer |
For the folks who are flying:
How about an update on the nose gear axle spacers? Are installations
with the "new" aluminum spacers working well as designed, or are
supplemental measures to ensure the spacers can't rotate still
warranted?
Inquiring minds want to know . . .

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone out there have experience with SolidWorks? I am stuck and I
need someone to walk me through.
I also need to know who came up with the tire change lifting chassis
that you lift with the floor jack.

You're all by yourself, sitting at the end of the runway, and for a
few seconds a flicker of doubt passes through your mind. Years have
passed since you first dreamed of this moment, and now it is time. One
last look at the gauges and in goes the throttle. Surely the rest of
your life will never be the same!!
N263DL took to the skies over Bentonville, Arkansas this morning and
I now know that feeling that drives the "RV grin". Still have lots of
finish work to do but this is one sweet flying machine. Thanks to all of
you who have spent many hours documenting your builds, especially Tim
Olson. You made my life so much easier.

Doug & Lynn -
Indeed, Congratulations and here is to your smooth and uneventfully safe
fly-off of your Phase One. I whole-heartedly endorse as well, your
thanks to Tim Olson who shared with Everyone the process, the review,
the decisions, the reasoning and the shear joy of flying the Best Model
RV ever conceived. You are all an inspiration to those of us who follow
and learn by your superior examples.
And Yes, the second generation of RV-10 builders is emerging. I look
forward to reports from Dan Benua, Ed Hayden, Rob Hickman, Deems Davis
and scores of others on the flight characteristics beyond their Phase
One approvals as well as those who are looking forward to the 2008 Safe
Flying Season.

After 3 years and 3 months of building, kit serial number 40308 flew at
08:48 in the morning on Saturday March 22nd as RV-10 N104BS. The flight
lasted 34 minutes with the only squawks being a audio problem resolved
by re-seating the audio panel and a non-reporting CHT probe. She may
not look pretty but flies great! I owe a special thanks to Dan Masys
(N104LD) for serving as my tireless technical counselor and flight
advisor. His help has been invaluable the entire project. Also thanks
to you Tim Olson for the information you supply to this community!

Hey Eric(5) and Thane(6),
How about emailing me your email address so I can keep you posted, confirm address,
etc. We're still waiting for the seatbelts, so I may send the countersink
on to those who already have theirs, then get it back at the end of the line.
This "traveling tool" thing works so fast, we weren't ready for it so soon!

Can anyone confirm that the Rivethead Aero axle extension product accomplishes
the same fix as was handled by Tim Olson's group buy last year.
See link:

P.S. I'm aware of the difficulty some have had with ordering but my luck's holding
so far.
TIA,

Tom, There is only one builder I'm aware of that if flying with these
(Rivethead) installed, and to the best of my knowledge he's had no
problems. He only monitors the list infrequently and isn't a
responder. I have a set installed,
http://deemsrv10.com/album/Sec%2048%20Gear%20Leg%20&%20Wheel%20Fairings/slides/DSC04681.html
because They eliminate the failure point between the nut and the
extender by machining both parts from a single billet. Additionally
the 'keeper' on the end helps keep the pant and the extender 'synched'.
from what I've gathered (mostly ad-hoc) those that have experienced
problems had been operating at least partly from strips where the
surface was 'uneven'. If that's a part of your plan, I would consider
these or something similar a 'must'.

I have carried on Tim's design and have the product available through
Mike at Cleaveland Tools. The price is competitive with the price
charged through the Tim's group buy.

| Subject: | Digiflight II autopilot wiring |
I am wiring my Digiflight IIVSGV in my RV-10 using the standard installation for
pitch and roll. In the wiring diagram, there is the option of installing a
jumper to reverse one of the servos, and the option to swap two wires to change
the direction of the other. For those who have already completed and tried
this installation, is the jumper and/or wire swap required for the standard RV-10
installation to get the proper servo direction? I would rather do this now,
rather than learn the hard way later.

With the pitch reverse jumper connected it works in the right
direction in all of the -10's I have worked on. I have never changed
the direction of the aileron servo either, mostly using Stein's
harness and a couple now from Approach Fast Stack. Either way, you
can check it on the ground before you ever take it up. Just activate
the autopilot and dial in a vertical speed and you will see the stick
more one way or the other. The same can be done for the roll servo by
dialing in a heading to the right or left of what it starts at.
