Hey John,
Yes, the traveling countersink is in residence and ready to roll. If
others are ready (i.e. have your canopy -- you can go ahead and
countersink the hard spots before you have the seatbelts), send me your
addresses off line and I'll start another mailing loop. Don't forget, I
also have the helicoil kit for re-threading the nosewheel fork for the
tow studs.
Later, - Lew

It has been a long time since I have seen any emails about this, but
wasn't there a countersink being sent around for countersinking the
screws that go into the cabin top for the front seat belts?
Anyone have it?
John

I had my exhaust pipes ceramic coated inside and out. This resulted in a
dramatic reduction in radiated heaat.

The downside to such coatings is that once coated they can never be weld
repaired. Just one of the trade-offs we have to weigh and make our choices.

In response to the questions about the helicoil kit for the tow studs:
The socket head bolts (allen screws) are fine. Others had posted here that the
steel studs eventually stripped the aluminum threads in the fork; either with
difficulty threading the studs in, normal wear from installing/uninstalling
the pants, or in our case from destroying the pants on the runway! At any rate,
it is a five minute fix to drill out the aluminum threads, tap with the oversize
tap and install the stainless threads so that you don't have to worry about
loosing a stud or pants somewhere with no access to the kit. We paid $50
for the kit -- I'd "rent" it out with the required coils for $5 plus shipping.
Your nose fork and pants don't change, it just allows for the steel threads on
the studs to contact stainless threads in the fork instead of the aluminum threads.

Awful and tragic situation, but a good warning to all RV10 pilots. Check and double
check those door pins carefully as they are surely the weakest and poorest
designed component of the RV10. A careful visual double check by the pilot must
be a basic part of the preflight procedure.

I never look for the pins; I do feel each end twice before committing
aviation. Fortunately the door departs the aircraft in the RV10, usually at
rotation. This allows the door to sail over the tail. Having had a door in
an Arrow open after takeoff, control was not a problem. The right seat
passenger had a more difficult time cleaning himself.

The following statement was made in this thread about the RV10: "those
door pins carefully as they are surely the weakest and poorest designe
d component of the RV10."
This can be onew OPINION but it factually is NOT TRUE. I would be willi
ng to bet a large sum that ALL the incidents with the RV10 doors were ei
ther Pilot error OR Builder error.
I will leave it at that.................just wanted new RV10 builders re
ading these post not to freak out and wonder what they must do different
in the building process.

I think that problem, if it exists, will get nipped in the bud pretty quick.
There is one user who won't tolerate known GPS interference, and who is highly
influential: the military.
