| Subject: | Successful Windscreen installation with Weld-On 10 |
Hello,
after having read so much about the Weld-On 10 stories and the crazing etc I took
the step last weekend and installed the windshield with the help of two friends.
I guess the result is very satisfying no crazing.
I put a write up and photos on my website which describes what I did.
I just wanted to share my experience.
It was quite easy to do. And I hope that crazing will now develop in the future.
Cheers
Michael

Congratulations on the good installation and the fine "write-up". I think that
you have established the protocol for window installation. If others can replicate
your success it would be awesome. I had crazing at two locations with the
suggested Vans technique. Fortunately they have not "run" in the one year that
the plane has been flying. Thanks for sharing your experience in the finest
Matronics tradition.

I think that window installation with Weldon without crazing is the norm and has
been done for several years. Good write up.

So, after all the e-mails about replacement door struts, has anyone found
one that replaces Van's heavy duty one? Where do you buy, what is the part
#, and what is the price? Lots of possibilities were listed but no definite
conclusions from someone who has actually done it and it worked as
advertised.

Has anyone tried the 9416K15 or 4175T5 from McMaster? This seems to be the
most comparable to the original struts supplied by Vans.

| Subject: | Tough Rivets on Fuse Forward Side Skin |
Working on wrapping up the dreaded Section 29 and have come across two
areas where I am unable to get the skin rivets bucked. The attached
pictures show the two areas. One is in the bottom right corner where
the F-1041 meets F-1042 and the other is behind the F-1001J where the
forward longeron attaches.
What have others done in these two spots? Anyone have a special bucking
bar recommendation or maybe the use of pop rivets in these areas?
Thanks,

I used 1/2" and/or 3/4" steel bar material in areas like this....
resulting in very sore fingers for a few days afterwards.

Is that the modified emp bar you are referring to? Unfortunately an
RV-10 builder in Prescott, AZ "borrowed" my emp bar a few years ago and
never returned it. Cannot remember his name or if he is even still around.

Nope, my tungsten bar is relatively thin, but unmodified. I also have some
thinner steel bars, but don't recall using them there.

Bob;
You just had to rub that in!!, but actually it's the perfect answer. The bar
is small and tough, but it's expensive too. It does work very well for a
person just starting who could benefit from it throughout the build.
Sean;
I used thin plates (1/2 in or so) initially and grinded down one of my
bucking bars to fit after not being able to take the abuse of the riveting
on the plates.
You'll have many more small areas that will need tight riveting. Consider
cherry rivets or pop rivets- which BTW I rarely did until the RV-12 came out
and I figured the whole plane is pop rivets so it can't be that bad.

Stein sells a tungsten bar. Make sure you're sitting down when you
see the price.

I bought the ones made in Europe. When I open up they go up and stay up
just fine. That's how I like them to work. Ordered from stateside. Don't
remember who. But mc masters sounds right. It's windy here in kcrp but
the doors are not effected. Fwiw

Here is my solution to the "hard to feel detent" on the Vans fuel selector.
I made two stops using tubing and countersunk screws. Now the fuel is
easily positioned from one fuel tank to the other even in the dark.

I picked up a tungsten bar from ebay, sold by the fine folks at
www.tungsten.com.
Works great. It is edging out my Cleaveland Main Squeeze as my "favourite
tool".

Sean:
Here's what I did for that situation:
http://deemsrv10.com/album/Sec%2029%20Fuse%20Side%20Skins/slides/DSC02624.html
I used a cutoff wheel on a die grinder to make the cut,
BTW ,I think I know where your emp bar is, it found its way into my
hangar, send me your address and I'll send it to you.

If the fuel line ruptures up in the engine area, how do you turn the fuel off?
Try to feel between the detents?
As many do not know, starting about 2 and a half years ago, Vans began sending
a different fuel valve arrangement out with kits. There is now a spring loaded,
lift-to-turn, handle with positive detents. IMHO it also looks a whole lot nicer
than the old handle.

That's what I was thinking.
Clearly some people had some problems where they were trying to apply a
lot of pressure to the glass to get it to conform to the somewhat
irregular glass top. I used the aluminum fingers method but kept it all
light and didn't try flex the plexi at all. The Weldon does adhere a
lot better than just epoxy or something and seems definitely worth
using. The urethane stuff that I think Geoff used sounds good too.

In June I got a quote for a 600N gas strut from Bansbach/EasyLift, for $45 each,
the quote was for 4 struts. It has practically the same dimensions as the Stabilus
struts that come with the kit, and has increased end damping.
Attached an image of each with dimensions.
I never ended up ordering them though, so can't tell if they will work or not.
It's made in Germany also, and lead time is 8 weeks.
