I recently took off with a fully inflated front tyre and minutes later
landed on a dead flat one and ground the spat on the tarmac but thankfully
no more drastic damage. Though I had come from a grass strip, at
the postmortem I found no thorn but a tube tear near the valve stem. I am
wondering whether the valve stem clipped the nose fork and caused the
problem. I had fitted the new axle mod a month earlier and did not have the
valve cap on. Interested in Grumpy's and any other experience.

Thanks for sharing the information Linn. I have a few months but plan on doing
it all myself.

Subject: | Windshield install |
I want to post my experience with installing my front window yesterday
afternoon. I had no problems at all using weld-on. The window turned
out as good as I would have hoped. I started by getting the window to
fit very well to the flange and did the usual due diligence in tapping
off the inside edge and prepping the mating surfaces. Then mixed the
weld-on and while my son held, scooped it into a squeeze bag. Cut a 1/4
inch opening off the end of the bag and ran a 1/4 inch bead of glue onto
the flange right at the aft edge. Do not over apply the glue. We set
the window in place and gently pushed till the weld-on flowed across the
flange. Then we ran straps across the window connected to the wing spar
to hold everything in place. I put blocks of foam and two rolled up
leather gloves under the straps at specific points to ensure a tight fit
but not along the glue joints. No crazing anywhere. I believe crazing
comes from too much pressure at a point while the glue cures. It really
makes some heat as it does. Using a squeeze bag to apply the product is
also the way to go without question. It almost eliminates the strings
and puts on a very uniform bead. After squeezing the bead, placing the
window, adjusting the straps and checking the fit, I could still easily
have squeezed more free flowing weld-on from that bag. Plenty of time
to work with this way. Also, by putting the bead of glue at the aft or
outer edge of the flange, cleanup on the inside was minimal. Remove the
inside tape after about 30 minutes. I have one minor crack in all my
windows from using fingers to hold in a back window during gluing. I
would recommend weld-on and try to minimize any point pressure to the
glue joints for good results. Just thought you might like to know.

Went to see "Up in the Air" last night (Clooney). A moving little movie
human connections and such, but the great aerial shots scattered
throughout had me longing for some flight... and not the airline style
of slumming around. It's ironic that we've done less flying during the
last 3 years of rolling our own, than we did in the previous 20. It's
been some of the most interesting aviation play ever but sure am missing
the clouds, and the places, and the people at those places. It's hard
to buck up for a 400 mile slog in the Maule when dreaming of '10! But
flying is flying - need a vacation.

Linn,
Sorry for the misattribution on your list. You are right about the Pitts being
much simpler. I did a plans built Pitts S1S about 30 years ago. While building
all those ribs and stitching was repetitious, it was a stone simple airplane.
Also, access was great. There wasn't anything that you couldn't get both hands
on. The -10 wont be nearly as much fun, but my wife is looking forward to something
she can enjoy flying. She did one take off and landing in the Pitts, and
said never again.

Thanks for that. I've managed to avoid working with the multi-conductor
shielded stuff so far but know there's some ahead.
I just finished mounting my front seat headphone jacks. Though my panel
is a DIY effort, I used FastStack for a custom wiring harness including
the jacks for the PS audio unit. I had them wire both regular jacks and
Bose power jacks for the front seat. The problem was where to mount
them all. Didn't want to put it on the panel so ended up installing
them on the sidewalls just ahead of the seats. Came up with a little
bracket that should work with or without my Flightline interior. Just

I already had the pilot/co-pilot jacks mounted and wired .... and
changed my mind. I have a PS 3000 intercom going in ..... and decided
that hanging the headsets on my overhead console .... would drape the
headset wires across the cabin and I didn't want that. So, the headset
jacks will be mounted in the center console covers between the seat
backs to keep the cord yanking down to a minimum.. Goof plugs will fill
the old jack holes in the panel. I wish I had looked closer and taken
more pictures of flying 10s ..... but Sun-n-Fun is on the horizon. I'm
constantly amazed at the neat ideas that builders come up with.
I received my door latch SB kit yesterday. So sad that all the time and
expense of making up the SB kit just for CYA. The quality of the kit is
excellent .... the reason sucks.

One other tidbit .... if you plan ahead real good (sometimes I did) you
can use short pieces of heat shrink in place of lacing cord or ty-raps.
Makes pulling bundles easier. Just make the shrinking part the last
thing!!!

Subject: | Re: Flat Front Tyre |
Appears my flat was from the valve core. I had aired it up 2 days
prior before flying, so it was a fairly slow leak (appeared fine 1 hr
later after flying).
Had trouble getting the chuck to depress the valve core to allow air
into the tube, so my suspicion is the valve core got out of whack.
Replaced valve core and so far it is holding pressure. Had trouble
again getting the valve core depressed enough to allow air in.
Appears to me that the valve core recesses too far into the nose tube
(90 degree valve stem).
Gonna call Desser on Monday and ask about different valve core.
Going to look at all my pants during annual next month, and maybe
shave a little off the bottom of each one so that bottom of the pants
are slightly above the wheel rim.

I was just told about using truck bedliner paint trick, too. I was told
it gives a texture similar to powder coating, if you paint over it with
color. Not sure if that is true or not, as i have yet to test it myself.
I am regretting not painting the baffling pieces white earlier.
Considering the above for the baffling pieces.

For pilot's log I use the nice one from Sporty's (not even sure if they still sell

Subject: | more about the door SB |
I saw this on the door SB thread on VAF tonight. I don't recall seeing it
cross posted to this venue (sorry if it already was) so I thought I'd cross
post it here for those that might not read the VAF forums.
http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=53151
What caught my interest though was post #19 on page 2 by John Trollinger
http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=53151
<http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=53151&page=2>
&page=2
http://rv10.trollingers.com/vans_images/Drawing1.jpg
I don't recall anyone mentioning his approach on the matronics list of a way
to operate the SB latch without the exterior protrusion using the stock
Van's door mechanism. It seems pretty clever. One would have to cut a big
enough access hole in the door to make enough room to attach the piece.
Riveting might be a bit too permanent if you had to remove the door rods but
I think the idea has some legs to it. I wonder if it would flex the tube up
rather than lift the latch?
