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.

Anyone have it?

Just one of the trade-offs we have to weigh and make our choices. On 2/11/2011 7:51 AM, Richard Martin wrote: > I had my exhaust pipes ceramic coated inside and out.

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.

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. -------- See you OSH '11 Q/B - flying 1 yr+ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=330693#330693 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 07:13:13 PM PST US From: "DLM" Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: OT - Cirrus crash - perhaps having an open door fly off is n 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "AirMike" Sent: Friday, February 11, 2011 7:39 PM Subject: RV10-List: Re: OT - Cirrus crash - perhaps having an open door fly off is n > > Awful and tragic situation, but a good warning to all RV10 pilots.

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.

From: "mmayfield" 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.
