    Subject: scat tube flange-reduction from 2" to 1"
    From: "tomhanaway" <tomhanaway@comcast.net>
    Does anyone have a source or suggestion for a reduction flange so I can reduce the size of heater hose tubing running in the tunnel? I'd like to reduce to 1" from standard 2", especially for rear passenger seating. Thanks, Tom Hanaway Boynton Beach, FL Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 9828#209828

    Van's did some study/engineering/testing when they needed a material to adhere plexi to fiberglass. They found that "Weld-on 10" did the job. They got the same crazing that many of us are getting and after several flying hours (1100?) the small cracks have NOT migrated from the edges of the material into the visible area. I suspect that after the paint is on and the masking is removed, we won't be able to see any defects on the edges of our windows. Paul Hahn

    I would be interested to hear the pro's and cons for painting or plating of steps and door hinges in particular on RV 10 builds ? What are builders choosing to do and why? Dave Emond ZU- RVD 160 Hours flying time.

    I can try to do some of that. I get the feeling that there is a lot of "configurability" available, so it can work with many systems. I don't know much about the technical specs on the garmin, so can't give much there. I don't think NavWorx is associated with WxWorx at all. Not 100% sure, but I haven't seen anything to lead me to believe it is. Will just report back after I know more. Hopefully this poor weather forecast for the weekend doesn't change my plans.

    Edmond: I had mine chromed. They look good. Cost a little bit more. Only thing I would do (next time) is to step up to a AN4 bolt and use a reamer to do the hole. 35 hrs and my steps are getting loose. I think Deems was one of the first to suggest putting in a larger bolt. I think it is part due to the size of the bolt and the difficulty in getting a round hole with a normal drill bit. I will go back into the floor in the near future and put in access plates and fix the problem. Another reason to do the weight loss thing. Fred Williams 40515. > >

    I FITTED my steps in a long time ago. I strongly urge builders to: 1. Nut plate the entire rear baggage / back seat area - OR 2. Put an inspection panel in above the steps - to repair or replace the steps and check for corrosion on an ongoing basis I put the inspection plate in above the step bolts. This allows you to clean corrosion in the step area, upsize the step bolt as needed, inspect the area for corrosion, add an additional bolt, and remove the step (during the build) so that you do not have sore shins for the next year. As a 1200 hr pilot my observation is that the RV10 has (to my view) three major flaws. 1. An un-inspectable rear and front sub-floor area 2. permanently glued and secured windows and 3. badly molded vertical opening doors. ------ At least you can cure flaw #1 - do it...... -------- OSH '08 or Bust (busted) be there in &quot;09 Q/B Kit - wiring and FWF Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 9954#209954 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/p1000864_968.jpg

    One way to approach this is to distribute the force of the spring clamps by first putting down strips of 3/32 lite ply, the stuff you find in aircraft modelling stores. Make the strips 18 to 24 inches long and use three clamps over that area.

    To clearify, I am talking about using the plywood strips on the front windscreen, not the side windows. On those I used pieces of popsicle sticks and clecoes and had not crazing issues.

    I second or third or nth the access cover (keeps you from having to lose weight!) Mike are you aware that your access cover is going to be under the side panel? The side panel is supposed to be pop riveted through the floor which will put a rivet or two right through your access panel. I attached some pics of my install. I was pretty careful to make it accessible after the side panel is installed. A side effect of that though is the bolt cannot be dropped in from the top. You cannot tell from my pictures but I removed the bolt and redrilled it horizontally. This will allow me to remove/insert with my access plate slightly askew like it is. -Ben Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 9958#209958 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/hpim2367_273.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/p1000038_264.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/p1000037_188.jpg
