Once you hook it to the nose wheel it is very stable. I am using it on asphalt and concrete. Slight up hill and have to push it over a ~1.5 inch lip. No problems with doing that. I built little ramps to get over the lip just to make it easier. I have no experience on grass, but I would not think it would be a problem, you can push down on the handle to get better traction......

Biggest concern I would have with ANY towbars is that it might slip as you push. don't ask how I know (previous airplane!!) The tow bar with slight addition, also does a very good job as a rudder gust lock. larry -------- Larry and Gayle N104LG Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 7250#207250 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 08:24:41 AM PST US From: Deems Davis Subject: RV10-List: Elevator balance OK, after 2 1/2 months 'vacation' while the plane was at the painter, the parts are back from the painter, and in reviewing the archive I see reference to Van's spec of 37.5 in /lbs to balance the elevators, but I'm not sure what exactly how to go about measuring / verifying them.

Perhaps you can persuade some Copperstate attendees to give you a hand. It is an operation where 4 hands or more are helpful. I would NOT skip the balancing, given all the speed mods and hp mods I think you have, which will have you pushing the upper end of Vne. ;-) Deems Davis wrote: > > OK, after 2 1/2 months 'vacation' while the plane was at the painter, > the parts are back from the painter, and in reviewing the archive I > see reference to Van's spec of 37.5 in /lbs to balance the elevators, > but I'm not sure what exactly how to go about measuring / verifying them. > What procedure/process/technique have people used? > I also saw a reference, from Van's the 'just build them to plan and > that they naturally hang low. ??????? > > > Deems Davis # 406 > 'Its all done....Its just not put together' > http://deemsrv10.com/ > > ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 09:38:00 AM PST US From: "Albert Gardner" Subject: RE: RV10-List: Copperstate fly-in I will be there on Friday.

From: "AirMike" I moved my 10 project (not on gear) a year ago and it it was quite easy. I used a U-Haul trailer that is quite low to the ground. I used plywood planks and 2x4's with two furniture dollies. Min 3 people to help 4 better. I can assure you that it is a lot easier to do wiring and doors if it is NOT on the gear legs(closer to the ground). I have probably been in and out 1000 times and it is a whole lot easier closer to the ground. -------- OSH '08 or Bust (busted) be there in "09 Q/B Kit - wiring and FWF Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 7328#207328 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
