Craftsman Digital Level for me. Placed it on the elevator and pressed the "0" button. That was now the starting point. Then I could rotate the elevator to confirm the travel. Once I finished, I was curious as to why this was such a big deal. I think it's nearly impossible to mess up the elevator travel. I suppose it's a good thing to check, but mine were spot-on by .1 of a degree. :) -----Original Message----- From: Rene Felker [mailto:rene@felker.com] Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2009 10:11 AM Subject: RE: RV10-List: Elevator level I purchased an electronic level from the aviation department of home depot.

From: "AirMike" I was told to use a high temp permatex thread sealer on the fuel and oil lines (VA190, VA135 etc) to the oil cooler and fuel pressure monitor hoses. What are the torque values on these aeroquip hoses (fuel & oil)???? Also - Alert note......................I got my FWF kit in the summer of '07. My VA190 hose was of the wrong diameter. I would suggest that people who got their FWF kits about then check the hose to make sure that it was right. I sent back the defective hose and Gus very kindly sent me the proper one. The VA190 takes a 7/8 wrench to turn. If you have a smaller exterior nut - it is the wrong size. -------- OSH '08 or Bust (busted) be there in "09 Q/B Kit - wiring and FWF Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=236318#236318 ________________________________ Message 20 ____________________________________ Time: 08:08:49 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Rv-10 Carbon panels From: "geoff Combs" I was asked to post when carbon panels were available.
