This is 33" off the ground at the belly...it is level fore and aft and side to side. Only took a few hours and all the wood around the property that I could find. Tried to move the engine crate from the storage container to t he shop, but the fork lift got stuck in the gravel, we had to pull it out w ith the F250. Just another day, not much accomplished. Just having a little fun The last shot is a picture of my teeth after propping the plane up today, I was cleanching! Just a little nervous! John G.=0A=0A=0A

    Ditto on that. I've lived in CA my entire life and the CA FTB is definitely the worst. I'll deal with the IRS over them any day of the week. The tax issues on my project are getting just as much diligence as the workmanship on the plane.

    Subject: RV-10 overhead consoles for sale
    I purchased two Accuracy Avionics overhead panels for my project and for a friend's project. http://www.accuracyavionics.com/v1/fiberglassoptions.html We decided not to install an overhead console. They are as received from Accuracy Avionics. Selling them for $275 each plus shipping - half of what I paid. Carl Froehlich 540 371-8482

    I thought tax evasion was legal now? In WI I believe we pay tax on the project at registration time. That is why I am keeping detailed receipts of every purchase I have made during the entire build to present to the WI Dept. of Revenue so they may tax me accordingly. do not archive ----- Original Message ----- From: <ricksked@embarqmail.com> Sent: Sunday, February 08, 2009 12:33 AM Subject: Re: RV10-List: Change in Economy...

    Tim. I believe, had a writeup on this on his site. In Ca you do too but if you pay along the way when they go to tax you once the FAA has your number as active in California the FTB comes out with a bill once you show that you already pay all taxes to build the plane and they don't pursue taxing you again, so you only pay taxes on the actual cost not the estiomated value- same thing you are saying just easier than doing it later with every receipt. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Dave Leikam" <daveleikam@wi.rr.com> Sent: Sunday, February 08, 2009 6:54 AM Subject: Re: RV10-List: Change in Economy...

    How about using a mid time engine? You can take at least half off the price of a new one and still have 1000 hours of flight time. I have a nice one available for $14k with under 1000 hours SMOH if anybody is interested. Email for details. Cheers...

    Subject: parts to omit from kit?
    delurking, and hello folks - I think I'm about ready to pull the trigger and go visit the factory for a flight, and come home with the emp kit. The recent talk of stainless heater valves and door latches has me wondering: is there a list of parts to consider deleting from the stock RV-10 kits, in favor of other solutions? from what I've read, I'm guessing there's nothing to omit from the empennage, perhaps just a couple things in the wings, and dozens of items in the remaining kits. I should probably ask the same question about the recommended tools list, but I'm sure I wouldn't get the same answers from any two people, so I'll just muddle through that part on my own. :) I guess I've got plenty of time to soak up ideas about the fuse kit and beyond, but I might order the wing kit real soon now. any particular advice at order time? Thanks!

    Subject: parts to omit from kit?
    My only recommendation is to go to Tim's site and look at the list of things not included in the kit and at the mods. Also, there are a hand full of after market parts that would save you some time and effort. I did not buy any for the emp and wings. I did buy the door pins and flush door handles. http://www.myrv10.com/tips/index.html Rene' 801-721-6080 -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Nate Lewis Sent: Sunday, February 08, 2009 9:24 AM Subject: RV10-List: parts to omit from kit? delurking, and hello folks - I think I'm about ready to pull the trigger and go visit the factory for a flight, and come home with the emp kit.

    The problem I had with the parking brake valve is where it is, not how it is mounted. It is really difficult to bend up under the panel to remove or install it after everything is finished. I even took the seat out. I decided it was not worth the effort to put it back. I haven't had a need for it anyway.

    Quick question here: I've finished match drilling top wing skins to the ribs, time to countersink the area associated with the doublers. The instructions seem to suggest that it is the top skin that is machine countersunk, but the archives hold a couple of posts suggesting that the builders countersunk the doubler and dimpled the wing skin. It seems to me that either would work - What say ye all? -------- Andy Turner Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=229227#229227

    when given the chance countersink the middle piece and dimple the top piece, with that said I think I countersunk the skins per the plans, but not knowing the section/step I can not be certain. The top is being held with the head of the rivet then bottom is being stretched, per se, by the shop head as the pressure is applied and flattened, I think I would chose the top that has the head pushing it down over the piece that is "holding it".

    Might as well buy an extra pair of trim tab skins as well. Some get them okay in 2 tries, some take 3. Not sure which category I will fit in, but not the perfect on first try group. ;-( Note, if you are thinking driving to the factory for your demo and purchasing emp kit to bring home, I don't know whether they have any kits crated ready to go...normally take a few days to ship them out. Also, takes a full size pickup with 49" between wheel wells and 8 ft bed with tailgate down. Their web site crate size is wrong, as they have gone from 2 crates to a single, wider crate. F150 and Dodge Ram are okay. Don't know about Chevy. Not to mention the box is around 300lbs. Don McDonald wrote: > Hey Nate, first tell us where you are?

    Subject: Re: Parking brake
    From: "Bob Turner" <bobturner@alum.rpi.edu>
    " no place for the expanded fluid to go. This happened with solid lines, so if you have flexible ones you might be OK. Someone with too much time on there hands could calculate the expansion volume and let us know. " Actually, this is backwards. When it gets hot, the fluid expands, but the aluminum lines and brake cylinders expand even more! So theoretically you might have a problem going hot to cold. Which is exactly what happens if you set the brake after landing - some of the brake heat will make its way to the brake cylinders, and later they will cool down. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=229263#229263

    Subject: Re: Aileron rigging - Reflex ?
    Deems: I use the flaps in trail or 1st position down with the prepositioning switch mod for takeoff and again entering downwind. The limiting airspeeds are in section 5 of the text. As you get used to the airplane you can definitely feel the effect of the flaps moving into or out of the reflex or full up position.

    Thanks Dick, what I was missing is that when the flaps are fully retracted they are in the 'Reflex' position. I'm going to mount the wing tips tomorrow, and then I'll 'final' rig the ailerons. Deems Davis # 406 'Its all done....Its just not put together' http://deemsrv10.com/ r >
