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 -------- RV-10 #40988 http://mouser.org/projects/rv-10/ KLAM Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=312027#312027 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:17:34 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Powered up From: "Eric_Kallio" 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.

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 ..
