If you're like me - devastated and losing sleep because I forgot about the parking
brake until after I had already installed the complete brake system according
to the plans - the David Ward adapter kit from Van's is FANTASTIC!. Simply
drill out eight rivets (i.e. remove the bracket that mounts the AN brake fittings
to the firewall) and rivet this beautifully machined anodized bracket in
the same holes. No drilling through stainless steel. All countersinking already
done and nutplates already installed. It comes with all the right fittings
and hardware with no trial and error, and no research required, and no modification
to my brake lines that I proudly fabricated exactly per plans. Well
worth the price IMHO. I did miss out on the satisfaction of solving the parking
brake challenge on my own.
Kudos to David Ward, whoever and where ever you are!

This is old news. Van's switched exhaust kits early
on. They never updated the plans. Even my kit that's
been flying for over 3 years now has this Vetterman
exhaust, so most builder pics you will find will
not resemble plans. I'm not sure how many kits were
shipped with the old system, but it was under 170.

Subject: | Sony e-reader and ifr charts |
There was a mention of Sony ereader and PDF Approach Plates a while
ago which sparked my interest. I fly a few times a year from SE
Florida to New Mexico and carry a suitcase full of approach plates.
My favorites are Florida which is so thick that you cannot fold it
over and Texas, with three books in all. If you do not know where
your destination is (geographically in Texas) on the chart you do not
know which book to open to find the plate.
I bought the ereader 505 for $ 269, including shipping, form Amazon
with generous return policy. After downloading the entire US charts
from http://readerplates.com ($10, no subscription required), I found
that while magnify the plate, the orientation of the plate changes
from portrait to landscape. This requires turning the reader 90
degrees to view the chart. Although I can read the chart without
magnifying it, I found this to be a disadvantage.
I solved the problem as shown in the following pics ( I hope that I
have not clogged someone's download files with these pics).
First picture shows an aluminum plate with couple of heavy duty velcro
strips (they are about 3/16" thick), a hole I drilled and counter-sunk
in the plate and the knee pad, the ereader and a plastic coffee can
lid that provides the friction. Friction mechanism, courtesy of my
smarter friends.
The second and the third pictures how they assemble.
The forth picture shows the velcro on the back of ereader. I placed
it based on my needs. You may place it anywhere you think will work
for you. Also, the screw holding the assembly has to be cut very
short with a low profile lock washer to fit under the ereader.
The next pictures show the different orientations. With the push of
one button and flip of a finger, the ereader goes into landscape
magnification mode.
I flew an approach yesterday and believe that this is a good
alternative to carrying a lot of charts short of upgrading my now
three year old (outdated!) equipment. I plan to print the plates for
my destination and the alternate from AOPA site and carry the ereader
for unexpected diversion.
The folks at readerplates.com are very responsive. The organization,
the magnification and navigation of the plates are easy and logical.
I am sure people with machine shops and smarter folks can come up with
better solution.

From the original group of builders I think Randy was the only one

Just the Plates. I wish I had a solution for the charts.
At least with the charts, you are not carrying a huge bundle. I was
thinking of scanning the chars I usually use, based on Vector Airways
and loading them into the reader to see how it will work. If I do, I
will report on it.

Subject: | Re: Wind screen fairing |
I glassed mine, and would do so again. It seems to me that it would be at least
as much work, if not more, to trim the metal fairing to a good fit. I would make
one change from Van's instructions. If you make all pieces of your layup full
length it is going to be pretty thick at the door opening, and will be difficult
to get a smooth transition to the door. I have seen several -10s with a
noticeable bulge in this area. I made the first 4 layers of my layup full length,
then cut each additional layer 1" shorter than the previous layer on each
end. No bulge.

This was asked a while ago by william and he was asking how it can justify

No disagreement that a parking brake is needed, and doing it oneself can be
accomplished for far less without major work.

The info is pretty slim on the installation of the Vetterman dual stack system.
Vans plans say to torque the exhaust nuts to 100-140 in/lbs
Vetterman's sheet says to torque the nuts to 140-180 in/lbs
Any idea which is preferred?????
Also Vans says to use anti-seize on the nuts. Any suggestions for what this product
is ..........???????

I would have considered the mlskunkworks fairing but it was not

An aluminum fairing is available for the RV-10 wind screen. Has
anyone installed one of these? For those who have glassed in their wind
screen, would you use a fairing if you had to do it again?

Subject: | Vetterman Exhaust system - Page FF6-2 frm 2007 |
Talking of old news and old fogeys. My memory came up with Chris Stepp
from American Exhaust who was talking with me when I began talking to
John Forsling on the Barrett project. The desire was a tuned system to
improve on Air/Fuel balance, ported heads for extraction of a few more
ponies than from a more conservatively built Aerosport. Attached are
the First Gen VANS/Vetterman system that the original plans drawn from
(I think for the first 140+ kits). Then Chris sold his unique "One Off
"design to Larry Vetterman who changed it to the Second Gen VANS "now
known as Vetterman" for mass production. Although they did not achieve
the identical exhaust flow that I desired, they did go to the dual
collectors, dual heat muffs, and improved hangar support helped. The
intent was to reduce or eliminate the irritant popping sound that would
intermittently emanate when cutting throttle quickly as the ole four
banger RVs would turn base to final. The reduced exhaust pressure of a
short stack was thought to contribute. Hence today a longer stack to
discharge distance.
At this point it would be wise to tap into the body of ROs (Repeat
Offenders) to mention the rapidity of cracks found in their RV6,RV7 or
RV8 right side exhaust stack mounts from vibration and the inherent
advantage in the use of stainless bracketrage, improved temperature
exhaust nuts and copper loctite. The old-timers that have done a few
Conditionals like Randy, Tim, Doug, Vic, Scott and others can mention if
that pattern is being repeated into their 10s. It would show up about
every 3 to 4 years, sometimes every other.
One of the values of this list is that this IS where the plans updates
are discussed UNOFFICIALLY. You Tim, have been a major contributor to
those improvements to the build community.
Who Got the first Chris Stepp designed dual muff RV-10 exhaust set?
Builder Number Please!

This is old news. Van's switched exhaust kits early
on. They never updated the plans. Even my kit that's
been flying for over 3 years now has this Vetterman
exhaust, so most builder pics you will find will
not resemble plans. I'm not sure how many kits were
shipped with the old system, but it was under 170.

Subject: | Wind screen fairing |
I'm interested in this as well. One of the areas that's been a concern for
me is replacing the windshield. I recently replaced the windshield on my
Cherokee, which was a pretty straightforward job and didn't really mess up
the paint job. At some point in time, I imagine that the RV-10 windshield
will need to be replaced due to cracks, scratches, or crazing. It make take
10-20 years for the windshield to get that bad, but I think it's just a
question of time. It would be nice to talk to any RV-10 builder that has
installed these fairings to get their opinion. Has anyone asked M L Blue
Skunk for reference RV-10 builder's names?

Subject: | Aileron pushrod holes |
Today I started working on the rear wing spars. The instructions show a
"squared" hole to be cut into the W-1007D doubler plate however the hole
in my rear spar is actually a "teardrop" shape. Am I to modify the hole
in the spar or simply copy the shape in the spar? A picture is
attached.
Also, the doubler plates overhang the slot cut into the spar (slot is
for the flap brackets I assume) just a little. Do I need to trim the
doubler plates to the slot in the spar?? Another picture is attached.

Two Loctite products that we use are C5-A which is Loctite #51005,
Copper based Anti-Seize Lubricant (good to 980 C / 1800F) and then for
our turbine hot sections we resort to overkill with Loctite #51102,
Nickel Anti-Seize (good to 1315C / 2400F). If you like to look for
cheaper Milspec alternatives it is MIL-PRF-907-E.
It is always a good call to use nuts rated to the additional heat of a
head flange or collector attachment. I vote for the second and higher
torques listed cause I seem to remember a hardware improvement over
stock configuration.

Just off of memory. The teardrop is an improvement so the rivet from the

Subject: | Wind screen fairing |
I'd just reiterate my input that.I cannot imagine a cleaner intersection on
these RV's (4,6,7,8,9,10) than what is already out there. I just cannot.
The fleet has not had these problems to much of a degree and, especially
when the windows are secured with adhesive (I used sikaflex on my 7A). You
say 10 or 20 years, I have owned a lot of airplanes that had windscreens
older than that which remained serviceable.so I think to some degree it
depends what you're willing to fly behind.
I'm not saying don't go for sheet metal fairing solution, but understand
that when you apply solutions to (what I'd consider in this case) non
problems, sometimes you get less than what you started with, especially with
thousands of flying examples using a technique that is well known, easily
accomplished and well documented. That would seem to be the case here.but I
have not seen an installation with a metal fairing, only hundreds done the
glass/micro/layup way. I am biased, I guess, I think they look great, and
in fact are in my opinion one of the big selling points of the basic RV
design.
