    Is this the Fiberglass tape that everyone is using to hide those rivet lines on the side of the canopy and cowling? http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cmpages/etapes.php Phil -----Original Message----- From: Les Kearney [mailto:kearney@shaw.ca] Sent: Sunday, October 11, 2009 2:24 PM Subject: RE: RV10-List: Re: Final Fitting of the canopy Hi Jim I was wondering about glassing that rivet line. If the truth be known, I have my doors fitted already. I just clecoed the top on while fitting the doors. This, as it turns out, was a good thing as it allowed the port door sill (fibreglass) to be relocated about 1/8" inboard so my door seals weren't compressed too much. This makes the door very easy to close. I expect as the seals get a memory it will be easy still. FYI, I am using the McMaster Carr seals and had them installed when fitting the doors. I all I have to do now is to adjust the door gap and then I can move on to something that doesn't involve sanding. Cheers Les -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Jim Berry Sent: October-11-09 11:06 AM Subject: RV10-List: Re: Final Fitting of the canopy Les, I think most people are putting a layer of fiberglass over the rivet line to hide the pull rivets, which effectively water proofs this area. Congratulations on getting the canopy anchored. Now you can get on to fitting the doors. Have fun with that.

    Phil, I used 2 oz. tape for this. Heavier(thicker) tape is going to make it harder to get a smooth transition from the canopy to fuselage. I also used 2 oz. to cover the hinge rivet lines on the cowling and control surface fairings.

    Bill, I got the 2 oz. tape from my local West Systems dealer, although it is not a West System product. I think most any fiberglass supplier will have it. Jim Berry 40482 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=267780#267780

    Does any have a good flight testing process document that they could share. Ideally, it would go through a stepped (flight-by-flight) process covering all of the items that should/could be checked, verified, calibrated and/or documented in a logical and thorough process.

    Subject: rv10 interior
    I picked up my RV from Plane Plastics in Alva Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago. I had dropped it to them two months ago to create the prototype vacuum molded side panels. The interior includes front kick panels, under-door panels, rear side panels, baggage side panel and baggage door cover. JD at Plane Plastic did an excellent job of creating and fitting the panels in spite of working in the cramped cockpit environment and a completed plane. I really don't know how he did it! I am very pleased with the fit and finish of the panels as they completely cover the exposed rivets and hardware. A group of 6 judges at the airport gave the job an overall B+ score. The judges and myself, including JD, agree that the front fresh air vents should be incorporated into the design and the notch for the front air vents should disappear. The airport experts also wished that the headset plugs had a home on the panel design. JD told me that improvements will be incorporated in future parts. Plane Plastic also did the carpeting for the plane and is another source for purchasing ready to go carpets. Speak to JD or Chris if you need further information.

    Nick I received the ASA Flight Testing Homebuilt Aircraft book by Vaughan Askue as my Matronics "premium" when I donated a few $$ last year. It looks thorough enough but I haven't put it to the test yet!

    I have a set I paid for but didn't use that are available. I have no recollection what they cost but I am happy to discount that for someone that could use them. Please keep in mind that while they may be the correct shape and size and work properly for upholstery their quality will underwhelm you.

    Nick Here is another book you might find useful. http://www.javifix.com/index.php It is written by a Czech jet pilot I met at Kosh many years ago. He was in the process of writing it at the time and I was impressed with what I saw. Jerry (the author) was staying at the same house as me and was a very engaging person - he had a very interesting story about how he defected to France before coming to Canada.

    Nick, Here's a couple things I've sent out before, one from when I was a First Flight Advisor and another stolen from an RV-6 driver. I recommend you check with your local EAA chapter to see if they have an advisor as there might be more current info. Have fun testing!
