Exactly,
BTW, you have the blow out gaskets from Van's and in the Vettermans box
there is another set of these Gaskets, so one set to much (at least in
my kit).

The spacer came from Van's. It's part # U-1002 on page 46-07. I
had someone hold the tail down and then I lifted up on the nose gear to
see if it was tight. It moved, so I knew it needed another spacer. You

I've been told by Vans not to worry about it. Just think of it

DAR stopped by yesterday afternoon. He had already inspected it apart and
wanted it all together. He took a look at it, watched me run it and taxi it
around the airfield. Satisfied, and after 45 minutes of paperwork he handed
me the airworthiness certificate. I guess it is no longer a project. Now it
is an airplane. It was too late in the day to fly, sun was going down.
Weather today was absolute garbage. Maybe first flight next Saturday, just

Pretty much that simple. You thread the inside of the rods as part of the
standard Van's install (page 45, step 1) for marking the hole location in
the door jamb. After the hole marking step you simply cut off the taper and
install the threaded tips. The aluminum blocks simply replace the stock
Delrin pieces. Unlike the Delrin pieces you can match drill from the
aluminum blocks for the mount holes.
Alignment for the door latch sensors is identical to stock except that the
magnets are integral to the tips (I think all of the sources now do this).
Just adjust the reed switches so that they only trigger when the latch is
completely shut.

I can confirm that. My first kit was a 9A, now flying a '10 (512 hrs) and
helped a friend build a '12 in my garage. Started the RV-12 in mid-July and
finished up at Christmas. It's quick to build and cost ME nothing for all
the fun.

I think it'd be difficult for a pin to thread all the way out without
noticing. That said, it's not too difficult to build it such that even
without the pins, the rod engages with the aluminum block.

Although I think it's a good idea and all, my worry has
always been that some flexing on the shaft will split
the tubing at the point where you cut the threads in.
So the tips then crack the tubing and it separates.
If that happened, it wouldn't be good. I was thinking
that if you could build it so a sleeve got glued over
top of the joint, but didn't interfere with the action
of it all by going through the nylon, it would make it
more comforting. But at this point there are enough
people flying them that we should see a good initial
service history pretty soon. I'm just not a fan
of the aluminum tubing part of the system.
