Up here, unless it's July or August, we just hose down the
yard and let it freeze, and everything slides real well
on the ice. :)

I moved mine onto a furniture dolly that I bought from HF. Moves around in my garage
real well. If I were moving it outside, I would put it on 2 of the HF dollies
($15-19) in the crate. Leave it in the crate as it protects the unit from
damage and rust or perforation of the visqueen covering. Use a jack or a couple
of strong guys to lift onto the dollies.
Boy is there any place to put it inside. I sure would not leave it outside.
Heck - I would even buy a shed.
Oh yea - watch those toes moving that heavy momma around. Could ruin your day

Why are you not using the Rivethead door pins? Way better

| Subject: | Rudder Stop Sheared Off |
During the process of getting my RV-10 ready for paint (Yes, I
know it's been 2 years) I discovered that my Rudder was hitting the aft ski
n of the Vertical Stab. After looking at it further, I notice one of my Ru
dder Stops that are riveted to the top hinge half of the bottom hinge was m
issing. The heads of the three AN470-4 rivets were still in the hinge half
. A simply touch and they popped right out.
Now I was thinking I was going to have to duplicate another sto
p and rivet it on, but the hinge halves are quiet close together. Then it
dawned on me that the Rudder stop may have fallen into the rudder bottom.
Sure enough, that is where it was. The 3 rivets that hold this to the hing
e were sheared off clean. The only thing I can think of is that when I was
in Florida, my Tow Bar on the Rudder Pedals had gotten loose and allow the
rudder to get slammed to the stop. No other damage found.
So I thought about this for a while and thought this could like
ly happen again if I don't change anything. So I decided to drill out the
rivets to #28 and use #6 steel screws with stopnuts for both rudder stops.
Hopefully the steel #6 screws will be much stronger in shear then the AN47
0-4 rivets.
Thank You

Ray,
This has happened to more than one person in the past. The last
one was Scott Schmidt. He had some pretty high winds while
he was tied down in Vegas that broke his rudder lock, and his
rudder flapped and sheared the same rivets. I know I've heard
of one or two others, as well. In fact, I think for one person
it actually broke the rudder stop aluminum, but I'm not positive
about that. So adding screws might not hurt, but you still may
have the stop tabs break off.
Either way, make sure you have a really good rudder gust
lock:
http://www.myrv10.com/tips/accessories/control_locks/index.html
It may be that plastic won't do it for you, as depending on
the design, high winds could snap the plastic tubes. I
suppose if I wanted to toughen mine up, I could have glassed
over the PVC, or done some work with strong aluminum tubing.

Same reason I am not using dual Cheltons, aftermarket, custom made cabin to
p and fifteen thousand dollar, custom painted carbon prop and six bottom in
finity grips. To each there own. After all, it is a consumer driven society
.
Van's original design is good enough, but needs modification and the plans
in this section are not written very well, nothing I can't seem to use my h
ead to figure out.
The up grades for me need to stop someplace and I have chosen where they wi
ll be used and I am comfortable with what Van's has provided, it just needs
modification and correct installation...no door pins should have ever only
gone into the plastic blocks and not into the metal fuse members. No fiber
glass door should have ever been made so flimsy that it flexs in flight and
allows a pin to pull out.
Lastly, the lack of any of the above items are not going to prevent my plan
e from doing its' mission, the one real important thing that I need to reme
mber is that this is still a small plane in a big sky with atmospheric cond
ition that sometimes are not condussive to flight. On those days it stays o
n the ground.
A leason learned in boating thirty to forty miles offshore in a twenty foot
boat off the coast of Mexico and of course my cross country soaring. Don't
underestimate mother nature.
Yes, flying is like an addiction, but unlike an addiction, we don't need to
step into our aircrafts at the beginning of our flights with glazed over e
yes like zombies drawn to the gruel. That felling need to be reserved for a
fter the plane is back on the ground. It's called afterglow and indeed, it
can last for days and can even be rememberred years later.
This is a post to cover a couple I never weighed in on.
Elitist on his soapbox and now off.

I realize this isn't exactly RV-10 specific but I found it interesting
nonetheless. I wonder if they'll even have a tent at OSH this year...
