    Subject: Apollo GX-series owners--a deal
    From: Kelly McMullen <apilot2@gmail.com>
    For those that didn't catch it on the RV Builders Hotline: http://havionics.com/future_service_on_apollo.htm Future Service on Apollo GX Products Impacted by Critical Component Availability: Garmin offering customers upgrade path to GNS430W and GNS530W series products. The availability of spare display boards for the Apollo GX series of GPS navigators is depleted and the original parts manufacturer has discontinued producing the parts. Garmin will continue to support the GX products with repair service as long as possible, but as a result of these events Garmin is launching a trade in program for GX owners with non-repairable units. For a limited time customers can purchase a GNS430W / 530W series product at a discounted price. The trade-in value depends on the model number of the Apollo GX. GX55 owners will receive $1,000 off the list price of any GNS430W / 530W series product; GX65 owners qualify for $1,500 off, GX50 owners $1,750 off, and GX60 owners can receive $2,000 off the list price. This is a limited time offer by Garmin that will expire December 31, 2009.

    Subject: Rubberized Wing Walk Material For Sale
    Hi Everyone, I have purchased a quantity of 3M Safety Walk Medium Resilient Self Adhesive Tread for my own project and there is lots left over. This is a rubberized material instead of the mineral based tread that is usually applied to the wing walk area. The material is less aggressive than the sand paper type yet still has the anti-skid properties that are needed in the wing walk area. The material is a medium grey in color and I have approximately 21 pieces that are 6 inches wide by 30 inches long for sale. These are slightly longer and narrower than the ones Van's sells in its catalog and there is no logo cut into them. Personally, I am going to be using 1 - 6 inch strip and 1 - 3 inch strip on each side of my RV-10 for a total of 3 strips. If everyone orders this same way I have enough for 7 aircraft. The price for these are US$ 15.00 per strip plus shipping. Please contact me at the e-mail address below with the words "Wing Walk" in the Subject box if you are interested.

    Subject: VA-186 Oil cooler box
    From: "woxofswa" <woxof@aol.com>
    I am in the midst of the fuselage kit, and just installed the Matco parking brake valve. While I was riveting the PB bracket to the firewall, I started thinking about the oil cooler box. It seems to me that now would be a good time to rivet the oil cooler box to the firewall with much better access and the ability to insulate that part of the firewall. The plans show the box being installed much later even after the engine mount is installed. I am thinking of ordering the oil cooler box assembly now and installing it rather than waiting for the firewall forward kit when it will be much harder to buck those rivets with the upper fuselage on and the rudder pedals installed. Is there some reason you guys can think of that I should wait? If installing the box later, is there a possibility of using pulled rivets to install the box? Thanks in advance. -------- Myron Nelson Mesa, AZ Emp completed, legacy build fuse in progress Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=230261#230261

    Myron, I did exactly what you are thinking of doing, and would do it again that way. No problem installing mount and engine etc. later.

    Hello everyone, My name is Sean Strasburg and I just started my RV-10. I wanted to introduce myself and make sure I am doing this right. I received my empennage on the 3rd and now I am getting ready to rivet the VS. I have already learned a lot from reading this matronics list. Also, I wanted to thank Scott Schmidt for helping me with the stupid questions starting my kit and getting me a ride in his wonderful RV-10. Serial 40936
