My steps had a slight wiggle, but I replaced the AN3 bolt with an AN173 close tolerance
bolt and it's rock solid. Get 'em at Aircraft Spruce.

I've added an additional note to the step bushing installion sheet
regarding what to do when the hole in the step tube is not centered in
the tube. Here's a copy of the revised install sheet for those that
already have the step bushings. It's also now on our web site.
One other note, the idea behind the step bushings was not only to help
resolve wiggly steps caused by the tube hole getting a little too big
during the drilling process, but also to help over the long haul by
providing a structure for the step bolt to actually provide a clamping
force against, thereby allowing the step tube to be tightly secured to
the step weld-mount.

This works great. BOGERT TOw BARS (BOGI-BARS). With a slight modification it
also works great as an excellent rudder gust lock and with a bungee it will lock
the stick. You can also get an attachment that extends the tow bar and has
a ring on it and you can tow plane with tractor. Once on it doesn't slip.
A little tricky to put on and not scratch your fiberglass. Reasonable price
too and light for travel. Carry it with you--many FBO can't move plane easily,
and it's a bummer to push backwards without tow bar. cheers. lbb

Kuddos to the BOGERT TOW BARS (BOGI-BARS). The bar is well made and very sturdy.
Fairly heavy to carry in the plane all the time, but sturdy in its construction.
Delivered cost $101.00 with shipping.

| Subject: | Moving to the airport |
Moved the project 30 miles to the airport yesterday. We used a low-boy trailer
used for moving heavy construction equipment. The plane is about 90-92 inches
wide. the trailer is 8' giving about 2-3 inches on each side. There was also plenty
of room for the wings.
It was very cool. The driver disconnects the trailer in front and sets it on the
ground via hydo lift. The the rise is only about 12" over a 10 foot ramp so
that the tail does not hit the ground or the trailer when loading. :D :D :D
:D :D Then the driver reattaches the trailer and off he goes to the airport.
The unload only took 20 minutes.

I was not able to locate a lowboy trailer in my area, so I hired a tilt-bed tow
truck. Worked great. The lady who schedules the trucks used to be an A & P, so
knew all about how to secure the fuselage, etc. Cost me $100. Between the -10
and my Pitts, my wife's car sat outside for 7 winters. A very tolerant woman.

I will add to the chorus about the Bogi-Bar for the RV-10. I bought
mine directly from Bogert. Collapses nicely to carry in the luggage
compartment.
BTW, Greg, I bought the seat latch levers you used to market and I
love them. They look great and work great. I also love your Weight
and Balance program.
Best regards,

| Subject: | Steel Bits Revisited |
Hi
A while back there was a thread about what should be done regarding the
steel bits on the -10 (specifically the door hinges and steps). My door
hinges look like they came out of a medieval forge are only suitable for use
in a Lord of the Rings remake. I have read that some have plated their steps
but am uncertain if this would be suitable for hinges. I am a bit concerned
about changing the geometry, however slightly, that they have when sitting
on the canopy.
Is there a consensus on hinges?
Inquiring minds need to know

Les,
I had my hinges powder-coated and they work fine. I initially powder-
coated the steps, but ended up painting them. We'll see how they hold
up.
