| Subject: | Attach the Tail Feathers? |
This morning I woke up early and finished the tailcone (Section 10).
Now I'm waiting for the QB fuse to arrive in April!!! Apparently the
facility in the Philippines was relocated and that has greatly increased
the lead times from 3 months to at least 5+ months.
So I'm looking for something to do. I wasn't planning on completing
section 11 until after the tailcone is attached. But given my scenario,
I'm temped to go ahead and press on with Section 11 and just leave the
Elevators and Rudder off the plane. (I'll need the depth in the garage
later)
Anyone have any thoughts on completing section 11? I'm guessing it'll
be much easier to attach the tailcone to the QB fuse without the hassle
of the tail feathers.
Thanks,
Phil

I would start the section and get everything done you can. There are
some steps you would wait until final assembly for like installing the
trim cables or fairings and this is obvious.

I would do Section 11 for sure and probably start on much of Section 12. You then
take everything apart and hang them from the ceiling or on the walls until
you start the final assembly.

| Subject: | Re: Tru Trak (RV-10) roll servo stop plate |
I spoke with Zack from Tru Trak today. The control stop is not
necessary on the RV 10 pitch servo because of the way the torque
enhancer works. You will not be able to lock up the servo.
However, it is part of there recommended install for the roll servo.
They do want the screws to be as short as practical. If they are too
long they will ride against a gear inside the servo. But, one thread is
too short. The screw is a 6-32.
I will need to look through my parts bins to see if I have the control
stop for the roll servo. Otherwise TT will send one out to me.
Thanks everyone for bringing up this topic. I will now know of a
mistake that I can easily correct. Better now than when it is to late.

Don't forget to put some tie wire/coat hangar/string thru the hole where
the trim cables run. It will save you 45 minutes (at least) when trying
to install the tail feathers. (don't ask me how I know :) )

Kit 40515 passed another major milestone Friday. Got her back from the
paint shop. Flying Colors of Texas in Gainesville did the job. Took
four weeks. She is back in the air and doing fine. Keep pounding those
rivets. It's worth it. See you at Sun in Fun and Oshkosh.

In testing my first fuel tank, it appears that I have a leak. The only
leak I can find in the fuel cap. Air bubbles were coming up from under
the
tab. I moved the tab to different positions to ensure that the leak
moved
with the tab and to rule out the leak was coming between the flange and
skin. The leak did move. So I decided to increase the tension by
=BC=94 turn.
That helped eliminating the leak around the seal, but it does appear
that I
still have a leak coming from the center post. It also appears to be
the
same with both fuel caps.
I=92ll give Van=92s a call in the morning, but I was curious as if
anyone else
has run into anything similar and have some advice to share.
Thanks,
Bob

I had to use packing tape over the whole gas cap to get a good enough
seal to see if there were any leaks. I don't think the gas caps are
designed to be totally leak proof.

Same for me. I got one to seal, never got the other one to seal. Have some
leakage in flight when the line guy fills up the tank to high.

Dr. Fred,
That is one of, if not my favorite RV10 paint designs. The colors pop out
and flow with the airplane. Looks fast and sleek. Awsome job. Fly up to
Oregon this spring we'll have a Northwest RV10 builders party with you and
your wife as honored guests.

I read Tim's saga of the crooked wing tip on his site. Have others experie
nced problems here? I have attached them only to find the right tip is pre
tty straight but the left curves upward and is out at least 1.5 inches at t
he end. I am looking for any creative solutions before I begin cutting and
try to make them true.
