I use mine a lot, while my 3/8" drive I've only used once or twice. A 1/2" drive is virtually useless for our kind of work, except maybe the engine.

It could be retro-fitted. The only new holes are four screw holes, a 5/16 hole to tighten a screw and an opening in the bottom of the door to slide in the mechanism which is about 2-1/8 inches x 3/4 which could be filled in with a fiberglass piece. I'm thinking about making a bunch of these and having the builders install them. Haven't thought about cost. -------- Cust. #40936 RV-10 SB Fuselage N801VR reserved Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=285102#285102 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 03:31:27 PM PST US Subject: RE: RV10-List: Loose Bushing - Was Proper Technique to Tighten Nose Wheel Fork From: "Robin Marks" At this point my thinking is that nothing changed the dimensions of the busing or mount. We were probably focusing so much on placing tension on compressing the gear leg that we must have overlooked the slop. Add a little grease and the fit seems acceptably tight (for a while). Oh well, one custom bushing later and all is well. I plan to test fly once these storms pass.

IIRC it was a nice snug fit when originally installed. Do you think may a side load condition? I would think the wheel would caster to prevent that. Got me thinking.

I could very well be interested in a few months as I don't have my finishing kit yet. I just got my aerosport overhead duct so it was neat to see that as well. I don't know what you machining capabilities are, but I have a friend who has a complete commercial machine shop out by SL#2 airport and he is an RV-7 builder/flyer. I can hook you up with him to crank out some kits if you need.

Cut them in half, right down the middle or wait for the instructions with my kit. This way I (or you)can make 180 degrees of travel on your handle. Retrofit kits will have the option of buying 90 degree kits for already cut racks or 180 degree kits that include new racks for the handles. The 180 degree kits will cost a little extra for the material. For those of you who want retrofit kits you will have to decide on whether you want the door to be pulled in before pin penetration and 1-1/4 of pin travel past the door or 90 degree kits that hold the door closed and tight in the middle preventing bulging and the same pin extension. -------- Cust. #40936 RV-10 SB Fuselage N801VR reserved Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=285181#285181 ________________________________ Message 17 ____________________________________ Time: 11:11:52 PM PST US Subject: RE: RV10-List: New Door Latch Video S.B. replacement From: "Robin Marks" I like Scott's design but feel it needs a backup system. Robin Do Not Archive ________________________________ Message 18 ____________________________________ Time: 11:19:49 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Torque Wrench From: "AirMike" You will be using it a lot, so you might as well get it now. The 1/4" drive is the most used, but as you move to final assembly you need the others sizes also. Since you are literally betting your life on it's measurement get a good one that is calibrated. Otherwise buy a good used one that is calibrated or get it calibrated. Cleveland tools ( cleavelandtoolstore.com ) sells a very good CDI branded wrench (calibrated) that is actually a snap-on wrench (identical) except for the logo. It is not cheap (about $189) but do you want to trust your torque values to a Harbor Freight wrench. Also a couple of tubes of torque lacquer, so that you do not forget what you worked on. -------- OSH '10 or Bust Q/B - testing phase 1 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=285188#285188 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
