| Subject: | Question for the door experts |
Hi
Well today I start on my doors. First I trimmed the door opening to
about
1/8=94 from the scribe lines. Then, as per the plans, I trimmed the door
halves and drilled the index holes. Well, the first problem was that the
window index holes didn=92t align ' two were off by =BD=94. Next I
found the
forward index hole did not match the hole left open on the forward fuse
skin. TRhe door index holes is high by at least a couple of inches
compared
to the hole in the fuse skin.
Has anyone else run into this problem and if so how did you deal with
it? I
spoke to Ken Scott at Van=92s who mentioned that this was a first for
him. I
guess I am just lucky.
Cheers
Les

Must be short term memory, I believe I had a similar conversation with him
a couple months back. I just fit the door based on pictures and look along
with making sure it had even spacing from the inside.

Thanks for all of the great pics and stuff along the way guys.
That Van's plate would come in handy for mounting a bunch of
things. Wish they'd have had them when I built mine. But, it
wouldn't have been perfect for my needs anyway. I did get it
done last night though, and here is the result:

The big difference is, I needed something easily removable.

| Subject: | Front wheel service |
Looks like I'm the first to respond Yes to your question. Very
unconventional, but I found if I put a standard wheel chock forward of the
wheel, then put a 2x4 under the nut on the bottom of the fork, over the
chock and then sit on it I can lever the wheel up comfortably, remove the
wheel and then put boards under the fork while I work on the wheel.
There are some stability concerns, but it's worked great for me using a
little caution.

Do you mean the standard Van's RV-10 Electric Aileron Trim,
like Section OP-38 in the plans? If so, it seems to work
real well...better than I figured it would. The fuel
imbalance, (and in my case the pilot vs. wife imbalance)
can be pretty significant, so I find I use it on most of
the X/C trips. No real complaints.

the wing attachment bolts?=0A=0AI am up to Section 28 where you join the fo
