Does anyone know of any reputable paint shops that finish out the fiberglass as part o f the paint job? We are in the southeast (TN) but would be willing to fly the plane to another state for the right paint shop. Thanks=2C Vicki _____________________________________________________________________ Hello Vicki, GLO Custom Painting Grady O'Neil Just north of Fort Worth, TX He usually only paints RV's. He painted mine in 2007 and quite a few other RV10's. He has a new web site which only shows four RV10's but he's done many more than that. Grady is a really nice guy whose easy to work with and does really good work. http://www.glocustom.com/ http://www.glocustom.com/custom-paint/6 Wayne Edgerton N602WT ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:54:29 AM PST US From: "Marcus Cooper" Subject: RE: RV10-List: Paint Shop Vicki, Another option is Bobby Potts in Tuscaloosa, AL which wouldn't be too far from you. Work (205) 333-3116, Cell (205) 361-1588. I was very pleased with the work and price in 2007. I had done minimal work on the fiberglass and it looks great, although I would talk with him to make sure he plans to do what you expect.

No problems, great performance. I have found that NIPON Denso spark plugs number X27GPRU with adapter bushings available from Light speed seem to perform the best. (note, I have dual electronic ignitions, NO Magnetos). I use a small standby battery that will provide 4 hours of operation in the unlikely event of total electircal system failure.

He rattled off some numbers that went in one ear and out the other, but it was quite a bit more power. When I was standing there, a guy came in and started thanking him profusely because his wife had an issue where the cylinders had some sort of problem and it caused the engine oil to be fouling the plugs really bad on a flight and she had to make an emergency landing. He said that he was certain that if he had had any other system, it would have never fired through the oil that way, and he was convinced it saved her life. I think the other ignition system on the other set of plugs had been completely fouled and wasn't firing at all. All I can say is, after hearing a Lightspeed user pull up at a fly-in one day, it became one of the big motivations for me to build an RV...because I'd never heard a system sound that good before. And now I'm liking mine.
