Aircraft Spruce does sell blank keys (uncut).
I special ordered a third door lock from spruce to have it match the
other locks. Call them, they make the process easy.

Mike,
I own a hardware store with a resident locksmith and a laarge inventory of
"Cam Locks" also known as vending machine locks. I would suggest however
that you go to a local locksmith to buy them because the lock cams may need
adjustment etc to suit your particular installation, also, he will be able
to set up all three locks with the same key eliminating the nusiance of
careing 3 different keys. If you need more info, call me @ 920 619 6968.
Good Luck

Thanks to Dick and everyone else who responded.
So "Cam Lock" is the official name for these things, huh? Now that I know what
they are called I did a search on McMaster-Carr and found a nice selection. They
can be ordered with the same key number.

If you are using a keyed ignition switch, you can special order from ACS a
switch and three door/baggage locks all keyed alike. A little more expensiv

I got mine from Lowes or Home depot, don't remember which. Just match the numbers
on the package for keyed alike. I think I spent less than $20 for all three.

Hello all,
I'm wondering if anyone has solved this problem: I am trying to find three door
locks, one for the baggage door and one each for the main doors. Spruce sells
a set of two, but I'm not sure if these can be re-keyed. I'd like for all three
locks to use the same key if possible.
By the way, my ignition will not have a key as it uses the Vertical Power system.
Any help would be appreciated.

I would highly recommend the VP-200. Installation is very nice as the big red
box has all of the wires for each circuit. You simply program each wire for the
type of device and expected load. The device is named accordingly, for example
"Strobes", and shows up on the main LCD display.
Operationally, each mode of flight, for example "Taxi, Run Up, Takeoff, Cruse,
Landing, etc.) is programmed into the VP-200. You specify which devices you want
on and off during each mode of flight. The VP-200 can automatically detect
each mode of flight and will automatically switch on/off the devices for the
given mode of flight as you have preprogrammed them. You can at anytime manually
override the automatic setting of a given circuit if necessary.
Basically, you turn the VP-200 on, and fly the plane. All of your electrical needs
are handled automatically.
Factory support has be excellent.
I wouldn't build another airplane without a Vertical Power electrical system.

Also be aware that some cam locks are longer than those sold by Van's or ACS, and
will not fit within the depth of the baggage door.

Certainly not with all 5 of those screens. I guess I'm just not a real man. I
assume, then, that this is simply for VFR flying and not expected to be used
for any IFR or night?

Ron,
Same situation here in the US regarding the key blanks. However you can
order a blank from Spruce. I suspect any key maker could cut the blank, the
trick is just getting the blank.

If you are using a keyed ignition switch, you can special order from ACS a
switch and three door/baggage locks all keyed alike. A little more expensive
to special order, but I really like having only one key for everything.

Thanks Marcus,
I did not realise that you had the same problem over there. I responded to a few

get some keys cut whilst there. But given this new intel, I will order some blanks
from Spruce.

Matt,
Congratulations on your first flight. The plane looks great and your
have done an incredible job of detailing the construction process. I'm
sure it will be a great asset for other -8 builders, like myself.
Per Jesse's comment, the only thing that you may find desirable in the
future is a second COM radio. Not from a reliability standpoint but it
terms of situational awareness. I am currently flying a -4 with a very
basic VFR panel (496, 1 COM, steam gauges, wing leveler) and the only
thing I really feel is missing is another radio. There are so many times
that I wish I could be monitoring another frequency (or contacting FSS)
while dealing with ATC. Its a constant issue and adding another radio &
simple audio panel is at the top of my to do list.
Again, great job on the -8.

| Subject: | Gear Leg Fairing Tip |
To my RV-Ten'r Colleagues -
I tend to stress about things that are not as complicated as they seem. In
this case, how to simplify the alignment of the gear leg fairings?
Per Van's plans, you need to create center lines, artificial center lines,
Points, A, B, and X. Huh? What? This looks tough. Well it's not if you
are willing to spend $30 on something you can leave in your shop and use
another day. Here is what I did.
1. Drop a plumb bob from the front and rear of the plane, per plans,
and snap a center line.
2. From that center line, use a tape measure to measure out 27" from
that center line on both sides at the front and at the rear of the plane.
(Note: 27" was a perfect measurement for me!)
3. Snap a chalk line, per plans on both sides.
4. Here's the expensive part - Buy a laser like the one pictured for
less than $30 - mine came from Home Depot.
5. Place the Laser at the front of the chalk line. Turn it on- Level
the laser per the bubble guides on the laser itself.- and voila!!! A laser
mark on the step, and the gear leg fairing IN THE RIGHT PLANE, PERFECTLY
VERTICAL, and PERFECTLY PARALLEL to the center line. No plumb-bobbing from
the step or fairing required!
6. Stretch the strings - per plans off the bottom of the step where the
laser light hits, around the gear leg fairing, where the laser light hits.
Hold the string in place with small strips of electrical tape in a cross
fashion per pictures attached.
7. Measure up from the floor to both points of light. If the height
does not match, adjust the laser left and right of the displaced center line
of the chalk line. Keep in mind the step itself is level to the floor, so
moving left and right of the chalk line moves the distance to the floor up
and down as you move across the leg fairing. It's easy to see if you are
parallel to the line, as you can measure to and from the chalk line to the
laser line. If none of this makes sense, it will be readily apparent once
you set it all up.
8. I got a fabulous/near perfect result, with very little effort in
just a couple of minutes. 27" off centerline was exactly what I needed.
9. The attached pictures have a stool at the end of the chalk line in
order to show where the light is lined up. All you have to do is put a
small object on the chalk line to make it more readily visible when making
the initial laser alignment.
10. Note that I drilled holes and cleco'd the fairing onto the wheel
pant. I colored a black sharpie dot on the cleco holes prior to laying up
the wet glass layers. The black dots make it simple to find the cleco holes
through the wet layers. Once the wet layers are on, use a very sharp pick
or awl to separate the weave BEFORE you try and put the cleco in, otherwise,
the cleco will grab a fiber and pull bubbles into the layup. I placed wax
paper down between the pant and between the rear of the fairing. Worked
great!
11. I shot the pictures in a darkened shop so the results would be more
apparent in the pictures. The laser works fine in a normally lit shop.
12. ..and no, when the police came slowly driving by, I had NOT been
shining the laser at airplanes..only the neighbors house a block away!
Hope this helps!
Pete James

Well, at least the SL-30 allows you to monitor two frequencies at once. The
frequency in the active window has priority, but you can monitor the freq in
the standby window at the same time. I use that feature all the time after
I land at Ogden. A lot of time only one controller is working and after
landing they give you taxi directions and request you monitor ground....all
the real action is happening on the tower frequency......

It works with the Nav too. That gives my Cheltons
both needles to display...one standby, one active, but
if you're in monitoring, both needles show up.

Hmm...does anyone know if a D10A shows the standby needle too? I know it
shows a bearing to station and course, but two course needles would be nice.
Tim, how does Chelton differentiate between the active needle and the
standby? I mean, how do you tell them apart? Just curious.

They're just labeled Nav1 and Nav2. The SL-30 is the ideal Nav/com
for many reasons. Apollo did so many things better than Garmin.

There is no requirement for 2 com radios or 2 nav radios to fly IFR.
That is reason for lost com regs for IFR. I flew for years IFR with a
single com radio...about 1/2 of those with a handheld nav/com that I
used more for easy check on crossing radials. Never had a com failure
during IFR. The SL 30 is a great radio, being the first to use DSP to
digitally manage the analog radio signals, which, by time sharing lets
it monitor two freqs at once. Having two radios actually makes com
failure more likely, by errors in switching audio panel and adjusting
audio for both, setting frequency in correct radio. I pretty much use my
com 2 in current plane to pick up ATIS and monitor other than my primary
frequency. Only if have trouble on range or audio on Com 1 do I use Com
2 to do any transmitting.

I assume, then, that this is simply for VFR flying and not expected to be used
for any IFR or night?
