| Subject: | Re: Flush door handle locks |
Hi Strasnuts,
I'm still a long way out from ordering door hardware; just waiting on my wing
kit to arrive right now. I'm just thinking ahead. Currently, I see your latch
and the iflyrv10 handles as the best in show. I plan on going that way when
the time comes. Hopefully by then someone will have some photos of a >90degree
install showing how much travel you get and how much delay in pin extension
that affords. :)
Cheers,
-Mouser

Its alive...its alive (insert your evil scientist laugh here). Got the battery
connected tonight and decided it was time to test drive the panel. With fire extinguisher
ready...in case the smoke tries to leave the wires, and tissues handy...also
in case the smoke escapes the wires, I built up the courage to flip
the battery switch. Click, there was power, no smoke. Pressed the avionics master...click.
All is well. One by one the circuit breakers were closed. Yay, no
issues. Installed the avionics in the rack, powered everything back up and am
happy to report that the electrons are going to the right place and it looks
like it works just like it did the day it left Stein's shop. My only issue is
the transponder (Garmin 330) screen powers up, but there is no display. Time
to pull out the manual and do some troubleshooting. Still a good day.

For some time I have mentioned the =93discount=94 way I was going about add
ing
LED Nav lights to my RV-8A build. After having spent $220 on my first set o
f
LED=92s for the -10 (which still required modifications
http://painttheweb.com/painttheweb/rv-10/Lights_LEDHID.aspx ) I decided to
fabricate some Red/Green Nav lights out of Auto parts. The lights were
purchased on eBay for well under $10.00 each. The sockets were maybe $3.00
each and the Red Green Mirrored plexi was about $8.00 delivered. I think
they turned out great. They are definitely brighter than my -10 Nav lights
and many people comment on how noticeable my -10 nav lights are on the
ground and in flight.
Here are a few photos of the Nav lights installed. Note these are older Van
s
wing tips so we had to cut away the corners and replace them with aero tips
.
