Yup, it's true. However, changing it every 5 years like your hoses (you
change the rubber hoses every 5 years, don't you???) along with the
working belt makes this a non-issue. The weak link seems to be the
alternator bearings from having the belts too tight. Properly
adjusted, there's really no reason for the belt to fail prior to the 12
year/2400 hour recommended overhaul cycle. IMHO, of course.

Did you turn down the lights and play some romantic music when you left
the hangar last night?
If you could set the mood and get them to make babies, you would be
rich... I'd take on...

Ok, so it's two RV-10's not an RV-20. Don & Kim McDonald are visiting
the central coast for a few days and I was able to solve the burning
question... Can I fit two RV's in my hangar?
Turns out I have room (properly arranged) to fit three! Hummm... What's
Van's order line phone number again? With any luck we will be flying
together in the am and I can finally get those air to air photos that
will allow me to post the First Flight notice on Van's site. It's never
too late right? Keep pounding, it's worth it.

WoooHooo!
I don't think Wes's feet have touched the ground yet.
This is my first video, YouTube, borrowed neighbors camera, etc. so let's see if
it works:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcPmLj5Djxc
YouTube really drops the resolution, and I had to edit it down to less than 10
minutes, but you can get an idea. I promise you, even if your first flight is
unpainted, minimal interior, etc. it is a thing of beauty!
Later, - Lew

Unfortunately, pounding the rivets was the easy part! What has gotten to
me is all the wiring, rewiring, modifying, remodifying, sanding,
resanding, ordering and reordering, etc. - you get the picture. With all
the redos, i have practically built RV-20 already.

I had to save weight someplace! Plus no chance for making babies, I had a
Vans-sectomy.

| Subject: | These Planes are wonderful!!! |
I just landed in Minneapolis after flying up from south east of Atlanta. I
was racing up the front side of a front that extended from Dallas TX north
to the Canadian border. I really benefited by the great tail winds. At
times I had 55 KT winds quartering on my tail. I was at 8000' at WOT and
2400 RPM and doing 168 KTS TAS. My ground speed at times was 210 KTS. Most
of the time I was doing 185 to 190KTS ground speed. Total flying time 5
hours not counting the fuel stop at BMG.
What a way to go.

It went through here pretty mild. It is mandatory to have WX though to get
that close to them.
