      Thanks guys. But I only need 1/4" &  1/2" openings. The safe air is $47 - a 
      bit pricey. Also it is only in .90"  size opening - too large . I cannot see 
      making a firewall hole any larger than  the minimum necessary.
      
      Also,  I cannot fine the "sleeves" on the  spruce site. Anyone have the part 
      numbers, and I do not mean the "eyeball  type".
      
      Maybe I will just wait for the the EPV guy in Utah to reopen.  Any other 
      options?

      Absolutely not.  It will contaminate the edge and interfere with the bond.
      IMHO wear gloves so as to not get body oils on the edge and sand with 120
      grit paper.  Wipe with slight amount of solvent of your choice.  (No matter
      what I mention here someone will take exception) Rubbing Alcohol or Acetone
      in small amounts are my choice.  AS always protect the acrylic everywhere
      except the working edge.  Electrical tape works well as it is impervious to
      solvent and does not sand away during prep.

      Excellent post. On the alcohol bit - what do you think of using mild
      detergent instead of alcohol to clean up the edges just before applying the
      glue?

      Good luck.  I waited almost 2 months without hearing anything.  I had tried to contact them numerous times through email and voice.  I then went  through paypal to get my money back and i received the trim brackets a few days later.  If it were me I would cancel the order now and order through www.iflyrv10.com.  A friend ordered the brackets through them and had them in a week.  Just my .02.

      Tim;
      Unless I missed something in the plans please add the following as a 
      Gotcha
      
      Section 36-3- Step 6 states-  "..Screw the cushion clamps to the 
      nutplates using the hardware shown in Figure 1."
      
      Figure 1 shows  "AN515-8R8, 8 PLACES" If one looks at Figure 1 you might 
      be led to believe there are 2 holes with two K1000-8 nutplates on the 
      firewall since there really isn't any other place to use the 2 screws (6 
      go along tunnel- 3 on each side) .
      
      The Gotcha is there is a (one) K-1000-3 nutplate on the firewall and one 
      needs to double the  MS21919DG4 on top of each other and use a (one) 
      AN3-4 to bolt it down.

      To the fiberglass gurus out there:
      
      I'd like to fill in the gap on the inside of the wing tip and smooth it 
      out.  I didn't do a great job of  getting the line  straight when I 
      trimmed  the gap between  the wing tip and the aileron.  What's the best 
      way to do this?   On the elevator  tips  we  were able to  get to the 
      back side  and use some  Styrofoam to build it up.   Here we have the  
      metal from the  support to work against.  How have others' done this.  I 
      have seen a few show planes with all the elevator and wing tips filled.  
      Is Styrofoam ok to use to fill the space?  Any links to websites? 
      
      Thanks in advance.

      haven't flown yet.  Get started on the paperwork 3 months before you 
      think you might fly.  I should be worrying about  what  Vx and Vy are  
      for my plane and not  trying to fill in cosmetic  stuff  during the 
      prettiest days of the whole year!.

      months or so ...

      Is everyone putting in the Alternate Air kit that Vans sends. If so where are most
      of you putting the pull knob in the cockpit. I was thinking about putting
      it to the lower frame next to your (pilot's) ankles. Seems to be out of the way
      yet available in an emergency. 
      
      I have gotten many conflicting opinions as to where to place the red cube flo-scan
      device that comes with the Advanced AFS3500 kit. 
      1. In the tunnel near the fuel pump (seems cool and logical).
      2. Just in front of the outlet on the firewall engine side
      3. Just before the fuel injection distribution manifold. Advised by Lycoming
      
      Boy , as a first time builder it would be great if a veteran builder would put
      together a complete - "completion guide" for the RV10. It would be really worth
      it to a lot of us novice 1st time builders.

      I use iflyrv10 when I can.  But there's not quite the full assortment of
      RV-10 parts that Rivethead has.
      
      So I ordered what I could from inflyrv10 and the rest from Rivethead.  I
      decided to get upset only once by ordering everything in one shipment.
      Instead of getting upset 5 times and ordering 5 separate shipments.
      
      It took about two months with no communication - but it showed.
      
      I really hope iflyrv10 gets off the ground.  We need more folks like
      that.

      Dave, the technology used in the ballasts are the big difference in 
      costs. I am currently waiting for results from tests on the new 
      generation of hid ballasts. the ones offered now are almost bulletproof. 
      they have been used in oem auto applications from the high end car 
      manufacturers for some time now. The newer cheaper style ballast have 
      some promise but until tested properly to work in adverse conditions, 
      I'll have to hold off on offering them. The ability to cold start is the 
      primary concern. Perhaps I can add the lower cost ballast and give the 
      option.

      I put mine between the fuel pump and the firewall.  Good location.  
      Don't remember exactly where I read it, but they didn't want it in the 
      engine compartment for heat reasons.
      
      Also, this list is the best information source for the RV 10.  I have 
      gained a world of experience from reading these posts.  Also, Tim O's 
      site has the most complete information.  He has also been good about 
      trying to pull together other helpful information for the rest of us 
      into one site. 
      
      Are you putting one 3500 or two screens?

      Rigid foam will work, or even a piece of balsa or something similar.  The
      thing to remember is that you need to glass over the filler or you will
      probably end up with a paint crack at the joint line.
      
      Another way to straighten up the line, if you don't care about filling the
      interior, is to extend the upper and lower skins by glassing a flat sheet
      onto the upper and lower surfaces of the tip.  Think of it as replacing the
      part that got cut off.  You can lay up a coupon of fiberglass on a smooth,
      flat surface to make some sheet material.  Then put it in place inside the
      wingtip and glue it down with flox and resin.  Then bodywork the new seam.
      
      Clear as mud?  Give me a call if I can explain it better.

      To the fiberglass gurus out there:
      
      I'd like to fill in the gap on the inside of the wing tip and smooth it out.
      I didn't do a great job of  getting the line  straight when I trimmed  the
      gap between  the wing tip and the aileron.  What's the best 
      way to do this?   On the elevator  tips  we  were able to  get to the 
      back side  and use some  Styrofoam to build it up.   Here we have the  
      metal from the  support to work against.  How have others' done this.  I
      have seen a few show planes with all the elevator and wing tips filled.  
      Is Styrofoam ok to use to fill the space?  Any links to websites? 
      
      Thanks in advance.

      Waiting on paper work and DAR.   Taxi test done this weekend.  10 more 
      knots and she would have been airborne.  To all the other builders who
      haven't flown yet.  Get started on the paperwork 3 months before you think
      you might fly.  I should be worrying about  what  Vx and Vy are for my plane
      and not  trying to fill in cosmetic  stuff  during the 
      prettiest days of the whole year!.

      For those not attaching the floscan under the cowl like AFS recommends (and
      I didn't either)...  Don't rivet in the attach bracket to the bottom skin
      until you actually have the floscan (assuming afs's).  The Van's bracket
      holes do not line up w/afs's floscan.  You'll need nutplates that fit a AN4
      bolt and you'll end up with them pretty close to the bracket edges.  The
      stock bracket uses AN3's.  You'll have to get pretty creative with the
      nutplates to get them under the bracket w/o having to a) modify the
      nutplates or b) make a larger bracket.
      
      You'll also want to plan it so that you can easily make the tubing that goes
      from the pump to the floscan so be mindful of where you "center" the floscan
      on the attach bracket.  I think you want to avoid a straight tube here since
      technically the pump and floscan qualify as rigidly mounted but when things
      are snugged up I'd think a short straight piece of tubing would not ever
      become an issue.  It's such a PIA to make that short of a tube with such a
      small curve and I highly doubt that the curve will absorb any vibrations
      and/or allow for flex.  
      
      I used the 5052 tubing (not the soft stuff from Van's as it is much harder
      to make minimum radius bends w/o sacrificing tube diameter) wherever
      possible which included this piece.  What you see in the attached picture is
      probably attempt number 3.  
      
      I found it much easier on the back to attach the floscan and pump via the
      short tube and torque the fittings then install the whole unit as one.  I
      also would think one could fabricate a lot of these fuel lines well before
      installing the side skins.  I think I bent over the damn fuselage for about
      a month off and on before I got things wrapped up.  If I were to do it again
      I'd plan to work on as much fuel line fabrication prior to the completion of
      sec 29.

      When installing the finger strainers in the fuel tanks, what should the
      torque be?  Not sure where I'm supposed to find this information.
      
      Thanks...
