> What are most people using for the main wire conduits down the wings.
John, I found Van's convoluted conduit - 3/4" - works just fine in the wings.
It's a straight run so it's easy to pull wires, and you can cut a slit in it to
pull out wire for something installed closer in.
I would not recommend it for the fuselage. The fuselage requires lots of bends
and turns to get from the tail to the panel. The convolutions cause jamming when
trying to fish additional wires through.

No matter what kind of conduit you install, it's very easy to use a shop
vac to suck a string through the conduit. A small ball of tape or
cotton ball will help. You can use the small string to pull a larger
rope. Also, use 'monkey snot' lubricant when pulling wires. Home Depot
or Lowes has it in the electrical dept. You can easily wipe the snot
off after the wire(s) come out of the conduit.

I found that the weed whacker string trimmer line works very well as a fish
line to pull wires. Put it in first and you can pull most any wire that will
fit. What you say about the fuselage is true...had to pull heavy battery
line and the other tail cone power leads through one at a time to get them
all in the conduit. Took some back and forth to get past the curves in
system.
Black flex irrigation tubing might well work better.

A link to an LAA article about a crack in their engine mount was just posted on
VAF.
Here's the link: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/jbtrellis/PDF_Docs/LAA_RV-10_Nosegear_Crack.pdf
This is the first I've heard of the crack and thought others would be interested.

| Subject: | Finish Kit Wheel Replacement |
Getting ready to order the Finish Kit prior to the price increase. I am
substituting a few items for aftermarket versions, but am having some
trouble finding replacement part numbers for the wheels and tires. I
believe the following items are from the Finish Kit with regards to
wheels and tires that can be replaced?
2.00 U 15X6.0-6 MAIN TIRE 6 PLY RV-10
2.00 U 15X6.0-6IT INNER TUBE MAIN RV-10
1.00 U 5:00X5-6 6 PLY TIRE MAIN GEAR
1.00 U 5:00X5-6IT TUBE FOR 5:005-6
1.00 U CLEVELAND 199-104A 6" RV-10 WHEELS SETS
1.00 U NW501.25 NOSE WHEEL W/BEARINGS
1.00 U-1009 AXLE
I believe the nose wheel NW501.25is replaced by Matco WHLNW511.25 and
the U-1009 is replaced by the Matco Axle?
Can the tubes be kept and just replace the tires and wheels? Is it just
the nose wheel or the mains too? Is the CLEVELAND wheel sets part above
kept even with the replacements?
Thanks,

First thing that I would do is check that everything is lubricated and that nothing
has seized. Mine are quite tight at the inboard end and I have used 3M anti-chafe
tape to protect the metal and make the flaps move the last inch easily.
That motor works pretty hard so check it out carefully.

I just replaced the nose wheel and axel. Be sure to get the spacers for the
axel too. I overlooked them initially.
The Cleveland wheel set also includes your brakes, so you'll need to take
that into consideration if you are planning on replacing those with Matco
wheels too.
I am having a problem with my nose wheel tube. It's only maintain air for
about two days. I don't know if it's defective or if I may have pinched or
punctured it myself. I guess I need to order a new tube. What do folks
recommend?

This site has the leakproof tubes and the tires. Vans gets the tires from
this source so you can get the Airtrac but it also gives the option to take
retread or new better tires as well.
Get the Matco wheels and axle, should be able to use the cleveland set. Ask
Matco when you call them.
Besides the tires get the windscreen and wingtips as well.

In starting to mount my main wheels this evening, it became quickly apparent
that there was an issue with the cotter pin and the tire valve. There is
almost no clearance between the valve cover and the axel nut.
A side note, I really like the extensions that Tim had made for the
community. Although I've had them for a while, I am extremely appreciative
of what Tim did for the community and probably can't express my thanks often
enough.
Back on topic, I was curious as to how others dealt with this. I could
crimp the end a little tighter so that the pin sits a little lower. Another
option would be to bend the top over to be more flat on top of the nut. I'm
not sure how AC43.13 handle the lack of clearance issue.
Comments?

I wanted to let everyone know about a product I have discovered that keep yo
u leading edges really clean. I would actually use the product over my entir
e plane if I was proud of my paint job and did not have future plans to repa
int.
I have used Ceramlock 850 (www.ceramlock.com) coating on the leading edges o
f my RV10. Flying in florida during the summer season leaves an impossible a
mount of bug juice on the leading edges. This product has saved the time an
d the pain of cleaning bugs from my leading edges after each flight. A simpl
e swipe of even a dry rag cleans the bugs.
My plane always looks clean and I do not have to use cleaning chemicals afte
r each flight. Best of all, it only takes less than an hour to apply the pro
duct.
Disclosure: I was offered to test the product for free by another user and w
ould not recommend it unless I thought it was worthwhile.

Has anybody else had problems with the quick build tanks leaking. Mine seem to
be leaking around the outlet port. The sealant they used is turning gummy and it
is more of a seep than a leak.I cant believe they used rivets on that particular
piece as there is no way to snug them a little.Any ideas on how to remedy this?

Hence the Matco solution. Basically Vans will tell you to remove the valve
cover and it will be fine, that is what they did with the demo plane.
I ended up paying $60 and sent my wheels back to Matco , they sent me the
correct setup that allows the clearance you need. If it was untouched MAtco
was replacing the wheels for $20.

Thanks guys. I'll probably just start out with replacing the nose wheel

leakguard tubes. Seems vansaircrafttires doesn't have a leakguard tube
for the 500-5 nose tire?

I think you are talking about the nose wheel and Bob is talking about the

I think he's talking a different problem...the mains. I haven't had a big issue
with the mains. I got some big cotter pins that don't stick out a lot of excess
and when I bend the ears over it clears fine. Sure, it's close sometimes,
but it always clears. You want to buy 100 of the right size cotter pins, because
you throw them away every tire dismount. I think if I remember right,
my original ones were slightly longer and I snipped the tips. The ones I use
now are just about perfect. They are a pain to install, cuz you have to arch
them a little as you install them, and then straighten them out to get them through
the far hole. My worry has been that if the ears rotate, they could scrape
the seal cover ring but that's not happened so far.
So unless you have a different clearance than me, Bob, I think it should be workable.
Thanks for the comment on the extensions....haven't heard of any breaking
and there are over 160 sets out there so we must be at least doing better
than stock. ;)

Replace the windscreen and wingtips, both the same price as Vans, but better
quality and less work to make them fit, as they are 1/8 off all around from
being a perfect fit as received.
Here are both tube links
http://www.vansaircrafttires.com/products/15%7B47%7D600%252d6-Aero-Classic-Leakguard-Tube.html
http://www.vansaircrafttires.com/products/Aero-Classic-500%252d5-Leakguard-Tube.html
Retreads are better and less expensive than the stock tires. core is
Goodyear FC III usually and weight is not much different than the stocks. I
will replace mie with the retreads when the time comes.. for more info check
out Tim's review and Aviation consumer news (articles tab of Desser home
page)

Thanks guys. I'll probably just start out with replacing the nose wheel
and axle with a Matco WHLNW511.25 and Matco Axle and maybe getting the
leakguard tubes. Seems vansaircrafttires doesn't have a leakguard tube
for the 500-5 nose tire?

good point! It is a different issue
forget Matco solution, but =9CBasically Vans will tell you to
remove the valve cover and it will be fine, that is what they did with
the demo plane.=9D stays.
I did go out and looked and there is minimal clearance, but should not
be an issue, especially if the valve cover is removed.

I think you are talking about the nose wheel and Bob is talking about
the mains. Not sure it is the same issue.

Subject: RV10-List: Mounting Main Wheel Question
In starting to mount my main wheels this evening, it became quickly
apparent
that there was an issue with the cotter pin and the tire valve.
There is
almost no clearance between the valve cover and the axel nut.
A side note, I really like the extensions that Tim had made for the
community. Although I've had them for a while, I am extremely
appreciative
of what Tim did for the community and probably can't express my thanks
often
enough.
Back on topic, I was curious as to how others dealt with this. I
could
crimp the end a little tighter so that the pin sits a little lower.
Another
option would be to bend the top over to be more flat on top of the
nut. I'm
not sure how AC43.13 handle the lack of clearance issue.
Comments?
Thanks,
bob

I am a little confused. I purchased a quick-build fuselage and it came
with the windscreen. The wingtips came with the self-build wing kit.
But I get the impression that these come with the finish kit from the
text below. Am I missing something? I guess it is too late for me to
consider these products from vanaircrafttires.
In a more confused state than usual.

No, you are correct. I just asked about the finish kit and Pascal threw
in a promo for the other items as well. :)

Sean,
for the nosewheel:
remove from Finishing Kit:
1x U NW501.25 NOSE WHEEL W/BEARINGS
1x U-1009 AXLE NOSE WHEEL
order from Matco:
http://www.matcomfg.com/AXLEASSEMBLYA24125INCH-idv-3657-1.html
http://www.matcomfg.com/SPACERAXLE24KIT-idv-3681-44.html
http://www.matcomfg.com/NOSEWHEEL5125-idv-2839-6.html
that is:
1x WHLAXLE24 56.24$
1x WHLA24SPKIT
1x WHLNW511.25
That is what I did, not yet mounted but should be the correct items,
maybe Michael did as I ordered also a set for him.
