(Dave Saylor) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 05:51:11 PM PST US From: "Les Kearney" Subject: RV10-List: Rudder Pedal Mounting Hi I was wondering what the list consensus is regarding using the forward or after rudder pedal mounting holes. What are people using and are you happy with the location. For those who answer this query, it would also be useful to know your height to see if there is a correlation. Inquiring minds need to know.

From: "AirMike" I talked to the guys that do it at OSH a couple of years ago. I had a C182 with Vinyl stripes and they held up well and did not discolor, so I had a good experience with the Vinyl. I looked long and hard at the vinyl schemes before deciding to just do a 3 color paint job on my plane. Reasons - 1) It was not particularly cheap about $2000 over a base white paint job. 2) It is definitely not as permanent as paint even if it does hold up well 3)The price for a second or third color from a good paint shop is about the same 4)The shaded letters that you can get from a professional paint job looks a lot better than vinyl letters - mine done by Kracon in Lincoln CA are awesome. -------- OSH '10 or Bust Q/B - finally done Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=316631#316631 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 06:46:14 PM PST US From: "Marcus Cooper" Subject: RE: RV10-List: RV-10 breaks record "But build it he did, from a $200,000 kit. He put it together nights and weekends in his Huntington Beach garage. And once he built it, well, why not fly it as fast as he could? The single-engine RV10 was finished in the summer of 2007. He has since set two world records: Long Beach to Dallas in 6 hours, 41 minutes and 52 seconds (183 mph) and Phoenix to Chicago in 7 hours, 2 minutes and 58 seconds (204 mph). On his way home from the second record, somewhere over Kansas, ice began to freeze on his wings, growing heavier and heavier. The plane could snap into a spin at any second. He sent out a Mayday and was lucky enough to make it to a small runway, landing blind in a snowstorm.

This plane was painted all one color and then they added the vinyl. I thought it looked kind of fun. (there are better photos of the plane out there). [image: img] There is or was a company in our town that printed photo grade images on exterior premium auto vinyl for surprisingly cheap including perforated vinyl for windows. Something like $10.00 square foot. The cost was in the install on a car (wrapping around corners, lights etc=85). But on large fla t surfaces it seems pretty easy to apply. I think they float it on a mild soapy water to position and then let dry. Really great for female nose art on military paint schemes. Also WAY cheaper than the vinyl bars & stars I have seen which I had quoted at something like $300 per sticker. Great also because you can dimension it to your exact needs. And you can change it out when you want a new woman (teehee).

I have a 1/4" silver tape stripe dividing the large white and yellow sections on my plane. It was something I hadn't planned on and ended up getting from the auto parts store at the last minute. The dark dividing line between the yellow and white made a huge difference in how well each stands out. It's held up perfectly for 3+years, except for one small section on the cowl that gets a lot of hand contact and direct air flow from the the slipstream. I've had to replace that piece a few times.
