Thanks all for your comments. I have not seen this covered in the past and I am
within a little more then a month of my transition training and this has crossed
my mind more then once.
It is sounding like this is going to be a very good year for -10 first flights.
It shouldn't be a problem filling up more then 2 rows at Osh this year. :D

As for doors...
It takes a very long time to get them to fit perfectly=2C like sailplane qu
ality.
As mentioned=2C I put an additional hardpoint(hardwood block) in the leadin
g edge=2C above the pin location=2C so I could instal a locking mechanism
=2C like that on the baggage door.
I put an additional 6"X6" spider foam block in the rear area of the door ab
ove the rear pin location.
Everything was verified to fit prior to lamination of the door halves on th
e fuse. Windows where later laminated on the door with the doors on the fus
e.
In the rear additional foam=2C one should put a hardpiont in that location(
either hardpoint only to screw a fastener into or put the fastener into th
e door before laminating the halve for the strap that will be used to pull
the door closed.
That additional foam will keep the rear half of the door from being so flim
sy or compressible from the in or outside.
DId anyone notice that the canopy's Rt front portion which attaches to the
fuse stand proud and therefore might makes the Rt door stand more proad whe
re the door transitions from the canopy to the metal fuse??????????????????
?Or was my conopy removed from the mold a little too early and got warped??
? Left side was dead on.

Let me pass on the report I got from an RV-10 owner concerning the "Lose of
Door in Flight" situation. The part I like was the statement 'the plane flew
fine.'
Albert Gardner
Yuma, AZ
"After the P seals are added to the doors it can be rather hard to close
them. Since the rear latch is difficult to see and you pull the door closed
from the forward edge the rear pin is the most likely to not be engaged. My
passenger failed to close it properly and I did not check it before
take-off. Immediately after rotation and within 200' of the ground there was
a loud bang and it became very noisy and windy. The plane flew fine, I kept
it to about 90kts, did a 180 and landed without further incident. The door
pulled through the bolts at the hinge and the gas strut broke loose both at
the door and cabin attach points. The door halves had mostly delaminated,
the window was broken, and the inner shell had broken through at the curve
but was easily repairable. There was no damage to the empennage."

Is there a maximum weight limit on what can go in the baggage area.... I know all
of us have spent some time in/on/sprawled in that area, but is there a structural
limit.... assuming that whatever weight you put back there keeps you in
an ok situation as far as weight and balance.
Also, has anyone found a source for a decent strap to fasten to the door to not
only use to pull the doors down, but also pull them fully closed.
Thanks

I think you would have a c/g issue causing the tail to hit the ground long
before there is a structural issue.

I think vans says the baggage area is rated at 100lbs.
Of course, I've sat back there a few times doing work,
so in a NON-flying situation I'm sure it's not a structural
limit. But while flying it would be a CG or perhaps
structural limit. Much more than that and you'd
start to risk tipping it onto it's tail anyway though.

I see what you guys are saying, but if you had two 220 pounders in the fron
t seats, with noone in the rear seats, my guess (I'm not at the hanger) is
that if you put 150 pounds in the baggage area, you wouldn't come close to
flipping the plane on it's back, and should still be way within CG limits.
- Not that I'm planning on piling it up or anything!

Don't forget it's 100 (or 150) lbs times the maximum g-load under flight conditions
that the structure has to support.

As far as a strap to pull the door down, I'd think a 10" or so section of
tubular 3/4" nylon webbing, upholstered to match your interior and set to
hard points installed in the door would work just fine...

>From page two of the weight and balance section of the manual: Baggage
compartment load limit 150lbs. and is determined by the structural limits of
the baggage floor.
I recently re-weighed my 10 after painting and interior were completed.
1701 lbs and a CG of 108.6. This was about 25 lbs. more than I was hoping
for but appears to be about average for the fleet. Looking at many of the
reported weights below 1650 in Dan's table I am thinking many of these are
initial weights sans paint and or interiors. If not, my hat is off to
anyone completing a 10 with paint and interior at under 1650.

| Subject: | Re: Baggage Area & Door Straps |
I believe the plans say 100lbs in baggage compartment.
Straps? I used long leather laces woven together as temp straps.....2
yrs later they're still temp straps.
I put in simple screen door type handles to help pull in the aft part
of the door (to ensure aft pin locks) and tied the leather straps to
them.....
One day I'll find nicer straps (maybe)

Maybe I'm missing something about the door. I built the door so that the
rear closes each time when my 5 year closes the door, it's actually pretty
hard for it not to fit and if it doesn't the door simply wont close and that
is obvious if it's not right.
Are the issues with the stock Van's plastic or the rivethead door alum door
guides? I have the iflyrv10 guides and they simply "guide" the door closed.

Anyone have a good reference point to zero the level to measure elevator
travel? I can only think of trying to use a ruler across the middle of the
airfoil across the chord line.

I found a couple of good looking dog leashes at our local pet store.
Had them shortened with a small loop at the door end, installed with a
pin to a piece of c channel. Looks good and works well.
