aileron trim is on the inspection plate, left wing . You will install a
couple of brackets on the aileron pushrod and the actuator screws to the
inside of the inspection plate.

My apologies for those who don't celebrate Christmas as this was meant
for a brother in Christ! I had another one for this list and I confused
them.
So here is the "official" one for the list
My thoughts to go to everyone on this list for a wonderful Holiday
season no matter where you are in the World and what holiday you
celebrate!
Again sorry!

Hello,
I have vacuum bagged a circuit breaker panel to be placed in the pilot's ki
ck panel area. Now that the part is done, I am afraid that I have made it
so that it will protrude and possibly interfere with the pilots seat releas
e handle when the seat is brought clear forward. Can someone please tell m
e how far the seat comes forward of the spar/control box under the pilot's
seat (if at all), especially when using the after-market seat lever?
Thanks!

4 Years 8 Months and 1 day - WOW!
Kit - 40192
N312F flew today for the first time. Words just don't
describe the feelings. Flew for 0.36 hours. Had one takeoff
and one landing (That was the plan!). ATC was really nice and made
me feel really comfortable with staying in close to the airport just in
case.
Had family and a few friends there but once the
doors closed it was just me and the airplane.
Now for the 39.37
hours to complete Phase I.
We are running:
Lycoming IO-540-C4B5 ( with one Lightspeed Plasma III ignition)

No paint, minimal interior 1498 lbs empty weight.

GREAT!
Still can't believe I built an airplane. I have

Dang it is GOOD!

David,
Looks like a good solution to the problem. I locked the spacers to the
fork with screws but I am unhappy with the fit between the seal and the
spacers. Please put me down for a set.

Subject: RV10-List: Front Wheel Axle Spacers - A Permanent Fix
Hi Everyone,
I want to share with you the permanent fix that I have come up with for
the front axle spacer problems we have been having lately. We have seen
everything from gouging of outer yokes to the bearing spinning on the
axle due to the loss of bearing pre-load.
I decided to take a real close look at the system to see what the root
problem is and I found that the spacers provided with the kit, both the
steel ones delivered with the kit initially and the aluminum ones sent
out as a fix do not interface with the bearing properly. This is due to
two issues.
The first is that the mating surface on the bearing for the spacer is
curved. I contacted Timken Bearing and they sent me the dimensioned
cross section of that bearing which showed that the curved mating
surface was a compound curve that melded two radii. This is not an easy
surface to mate to.
The second issue was that of the wall thickness of the aluminum spacers
set out by Van's to replace the initial steel ones. The wall thickness
of these aluminum spacers is .250in. The mating surface of the bearing
is approx. .187in. This is the steel contact area inside of the rubber
bearing seal. This meant that the spacer was pre-loading on the rubber
bearing seal instead of the steel portion of the bearing. In many cases
this has resulted in the loss of the pre-load as the rubber
deteriorates. Consequently, there were bearings spinning, yokes being
gouged and loose wheels which add to bearing wear and shimmy.
I initially thought that I would take the same approach as Ross Farnham
and machine profiles on the end of new steel spacers so that the
interface between them and the bearing was close to identical. I called
Ross and talked it over with him and he said that if he had more time to
put into it he would have made one of the spacers adjustable. I asked
him if I could run with that and he agreed it would be the best fix.
So, what I have been able to design is a system where there is a perfect
interface between the spacers and the bearings by utilizing the Timken
specifications and the accuracy of CNC machining. I have also been able
to design a robust and accurate adjustment mechanism into one of the
spacers so that the pre-load can be adjusted without having to take the
wheel apart.
Integrated into the spacer design are notches that accept the heads of
10-24 socket-head cap screws installed on the inner face of the yoke.
These restrict the spacers from being able to spin on the axle. As well,
you will now be able to accurately torque the front wheel bolt because
it no longer has any relationship to the pre-load of the bearings.
The screw adjustment ring is locked in place by two 1/4-20 socket-head
cap screws that have drilled heads so they can be safety wired.
All of these new components including the hardware is made from
stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
I just finished installing a set in my front wheel assembly and it goes
together and adjusts very easily. I will be offering these for sale
through Mike Lauritsen at Cleaveland Tools. The kits will include all
hardware instructions and the drill guide used to locate the
anti-rotation screws.
You can go to my Blog site and read about these and see pictures of the
RV-10 as well as the RV6/7/8/9 components. It is located at the
following address: http://www.kitaircraftmods.com
I feel as though I have now installed a permanent fix to this problem
and I hope that if you are interested in the kit I have put together you
will go and visit the Cleaveland Tools site. The first 10 production
kits of each variant will be available sometime in mid January but
please leave your name with them if you are interested so we can get a
handle on how many are going to be required.
Many thanks for reading this long post.

Just an Idea, but since it looks like they were parallel when you drilled
them, just drill out the rivets...clamp them down and re-rivet.

Subject: RV10-List: HS attach bracket issue
Well all you rv10 buikders out there. Looks like i finally mide my first
big boo boo. And I will call Vans Monday morning.
When i final drilled the left and rt horv. stab fwd spar attach brackets i
made sure to clamp both of them to a piece of angle stock so that they were
final drilled parrallel to each other.
Well when i went to rivit them on today all looked well and i did not think
to reclamp them to a piece of angle stock. Now here comes the probelm. The
Left bracket is about 1/32 of a inch oft of parallel to the other. When i
clap the angle stock to the rt bracket it contacts the inboard edge of the
left bracket like it should.
When i clamp the angle stock to the left bracket it misses the rt bracket by
a bunch. so this telles me the left bracket is not parallel.
I do think that it probable should be fixed, to prevent a twisting force on
the bracket, rivits and HS fwd spar.
My question is can i just shave a very small amount off the inboard side of
the left bracket bottom to get them back parallel, would this be a ok repair
or should i make new bracket and redo it.
I do think i will order the material to make a new on or order one already
made from the company that makes them on a cnc machine.
Boy was this very upsetting to find when i was finished with the front spar.
Word of advice would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks.

| Subject: | DAR Blessed N475PV |
With the blessing of the local DAR my 5yr, 2 months and 1 day, 25,500
rivet project has been transformed into an airplane. I got my
airworthiness certificate tonight. The first flight will have to be
postponed due to some bad weather in TX last week-- I was unable to
get my transition training done with Alex due to IFR conditions with
100-200 foot ceilings the whole time while I was there. I am
rescheduled for the 30th and 31rst so there could be a potential
first flight on New Year's day.
I was lucky to get a 50 nautical mile test radius (we are very rural)
and a 25 hour Phase 1 period even though I have a Mattituck TMX-540.
I did not ask if he made a mistake on the testing hours. The only
problems noted were no witness holes in the flap and engine control
rod ends and the wires to the elevator trim servo were looser than he
liked.
I got what I wanted for Christmas and New Year's is looking good.
I've included a picture of the new born.

Sheldon, that's fantastic! 10nm more of a radius and you could
make it to KLUM! I'll have to meet you in the air when you're
doing some of your test flights.
