    Subject: Reduction in Price For SureGrip Brake Pedals
    Hi Everyone, I would like to let everyone know that we have been able to reduce the price of our 'SureGrip' Brake Pedal replacement kits sold through Mike Lauritsen at Cleaveland Aircraft Tools. They have been reduced from $199.00 to $169.00 per pair. I would also like to let everyone know that we have a new Tail Light Mounting Ring available through Cleaveland. This ring is riveted to the back of the lower rudder fairing and allows the standard Whelen tail light/strobe to be mounted to it using existing hardware. This allows for an easier installation as well as ease of maintenance. On the horizon is a new type of oil cooler air flow valve. This device would be installed at the rear of the baffles where the large scat tube mounting ring is currently mounted. It will have a similar flange at its exit so you simply have to trim the scat tube and re mount it to the valve. This valve is a butterfly type valve that should allow you to restrict the flow of air to the oil cooler and allow a range of flow from 95% down to 0% through the use of a standard push/pull cable. It will be manufactured from stainless steel. Sorry for the advertisement but I know that everyone likes to hear about a reduction in the price of accessories and also to hear about new products in the pipe. Thanks, Dave Hertner RV-10 Bonding Doors Together

    I think that Dave's "pip pin" is the same thing as a "ball pin". Perhaps it's a brand issue like pop-rivets vs. blind rivets.... -------- #40572 QB Fuselage, wings finished N711JG reserved Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=185523#185523

    I didn't seem to document this in my build log but what I ended up doing is using a recessed push button pin, much like what Linn described, on the pax stick. Specifically it was a SS Recessed Push-Button Quick-Release, Mc master-Carr part number 92385A015. With a 4600# shear strength I'm not ove rly concerned about it breaking.

On another slightly different subject, did you route your wiring through the curved part of the stick and then exit before the pin or were you able to route it past the pin/bolt, or did you go external all the way?

    I didn't seem to have any clearance problems at all. The head is actually quite small. I have the whole section ripped apart at the moment as I'm putting in my AFP purge return line so when I go to put it back together I'll try to remember to take a few pictures. As far as the wiring goes, I'll let you know when I get there. ;-) Michael -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of orchidman Sent: Friday, May 30, 2008 10:23 AM Subject: RV10-List: Re: removable co-pilot stick msausen wrote: > I didnt seem to document this in my build log but what I ended up doing is using a recessed push button pin, much like what Linn described, on the pax stick.

    Subject: wiring restive fuel sender/s
    I'm electron challenged, and so the simplest things elude me at times. My question is how to wire the resistance fuel senders. I have 2 wires coming from my EIU for each tank. In the center of the fuel sender is a screw for a terminal. I assume this is for the sending / signal line, there are no other provisions on the sender for additional terminals, is it assumed that the unit is grounded through the airframe? In which case the 'other' / ground wire/s from the EIU can be terminated at a ground/block or on the airframe? If not, where do it connect the other wire/s from the EIU?

    Subject: Gust Lock options/opinions
    Hi All, While doing my walk around today I noticed the rudder stop on the right side had completely sheared off the 3 rivets that hold the stop in place and it had fallen into the rudder's lower fairing. I keep my plane in the hangar so had not thought I needed a gust lock but after some investigation I'm told "yeah, we needed to get a plane out of the back so we had to pull all the planes out last week and I guess it was pretty windy that day". If was damaged the day I suspect it was the wind was gusting to about 45 MPH. Fortunately no major damage and a couple hours to repair but if it would had continued to get banged around it certainly could have been serious. So I'm looking for opinions on gust locks, a quick Google found this one http://www.rvtraining.com/html/gust_lock.html, any other options or opinions anyone wishes to share?
