    Subject: Emp Fairing - Inlet
    I dunno what Tim used but on the Mooney I used to own that had an inlet in the roof (later models moved it to the empennage fairing) and used a 1/4 ID diameter rubber hose that drained via a fitting out the bottom of the fuselage.

    My overhead console will get it's air from a NACA scoop on the right side. The only way to keep the water out is to force it to run uphill.

    Subject: Emp Fairing - Inlet
    On the RV-4 the plans call for a 1/4" drain holes in the bottom skin at the lowest point just in front of the last few aft bulkheads to drain any water that manages to get inside. With the tri-gears different ground attitude the locations would need to be adjusted but the concept is prudent in my mind.

    Phil, I install a drain tube that runs from the inlet area down to the bottom of the fuselage where I installed drain fitting of sort that lets the moisture exit the plane. If you would want any photos of what I did, let me know.

    Hey Phil, It's been a while since we did this, but I think I remember this edge distance being important -- after the fact. Make sure you get the holes close enough to the edge so that the nuts will turn; and no more, so that installation works and you still have structural integrity. We ended up using a nut to get the distance. Later, - Lew -------- non-pilot crazy about building NOW OFICIALLY BUILDER #40549 Painting done! On with wiring and avionics.

    Hi Lew, Yeah, I asked a couple of questions around this topic a few weeks ago and Bob Leffler helped me out with the measurements. But late last night I built a mock up of the longerons and tested the hole positions. Unfortunately I couldn't keep the washers off the fillet curve and moving the hole further to the edge compromised the 2D edge distance for #12 (AN3) holes. The only way I can really keep the washers flat on the aluminum is to compromise edge clearance by 1/32 or 2/32 (1/16th). That's why I am curious to see what the real measurements on the template are. I'm curious to know if Vans intentionally compromised the edge distance a bit to get flat washers. It's 1/8" aluminum angle, so I could see them cheating a bit. But before I commit holes, I want to be absolutely sure. :) Another option that came up is to maintain the proper edge distance, but file the washer down where it intersects the fillet curve. Then prime the washer where the cadmium plate was removed.

    Partain is giving a 10% discount now (saw add on vansaircraft) I am having them ship my fuselage, it came out about $100 cheaper than ABF and I trust them more with my plane parts.

    Linn, I got it about 4 months ago. The one box I still have no is the Vetterman exhaust. It says 2 of 2 on the box and is 33" x 11" x 18" weighing 30 to 40 lbs. The other box was probably about the same, maybe a little heavier. Dave Syvertson In a message dated 11/7/2009 3:22:03 P.M.

    Subject: Brake Exit Hole Redux
    Hi After reading the posts of some builders who inadvertently enlarged the hole in the gear mount, I can sympathize after looking at the plans. They are vey misleading especially when considering that the hole in the gear mount (at least mine is) is undersized. Can anyone tell me where in the plans we are instructed to enlarge this hole? From what I can see, it should be at least 7/16 to take the AN4 fitting. Inquiring minds need to know. Les #40643 - Not quite out of fibreglass hell, but on a day pass

    Subject: doors & latches
    From: "rvdave" <davidbf@centurytel.net>
    I'm at the point of assembling doors and want to change to the flush latches/handles. For those who have installed flush handles, how far can I go with assembly of doors before I need to alter plans for the alternate mechanism? Can I proceed as if I were going ahead with supplied parts and change later? I've seen a couple photos of the flush handles, but not sure how many different types are available or where to obtain them?

    Hi Les, I'm the guilty one for initiating the initial thread. And yes, the plans are still confusing and I know what I'm doing at this point. J The hole in the landing gear mount was probably drilled correctly, but the powder coatings has shrunk the hole. The correct hole size is 7/16" in the landing gear mount and 5/8" in the bottom skin.

    Dave I installed Steve Deniri's flush handles along with the flush locks. Go to http://www.iflyrv10.com to see them. They were installed after the doors were assembled - easily done. They are a very nice touch! Don't forget to use the billet door blocks.

    Linn, I'd suggest go with Partain. They are set up to transport aircraft parts and they do it with care, unlike ABF. ABF delivered my tail kit. It said "high dollar aircraft parts" on the box, with huge letters. Also two big arrows pointing up and " this side up" next to it. Guess which side was up in the truck... ABF just doesn't care.

    Subject: Re: shippers
    Linn When I ordered my tail kit in May, I priced ABF freight from Aurora to Port Huron, Mi where I planned to cross the Can/US border and bring the kit home to Ontario. Vans price with Fed Ex freight was 40% of what ABF's price was. Need less to say, it wasn't a difficult choice. I seem to remember the shipping price was well under $400 Hope you find the same pricing difference Rick 40956 Southampton, Not ---- Original Message ----- From: "Linn Walters" <pitts_pilot@bellsouth.net> Sent: Saturday, November 07, 2009 4:16 PM Subject: RV10-List: shippers > > There was some chatter awhile back on shippers ..... and a website for > cheapest shippers.
