    I have the same one. I too have used it a bunch on the build, at work and around the house. Good for rivet shaving. It runs between 5-35,000 rpm. Last long enough for most small jobs. Charges back up quick. No cords to cut into like I did with my old one. But it still will cut into fingers if you desire some excitement. The 6" deburring wheel does a good job on fingers too as most of you know. -------- Wayne Gillispie, A&amp;P 5/93, PPC 10/08 Bldr# 40983 SB Started 12/1/09.

    Subject: Re: rudder pedal extensions
    Please be careful with the rudder pedal extensions. Last year the aerobatic community lost Vicky Cruise in an accident in the World Aerobatic Championships. The cause of the accident was attributed to the rudder pedal extensions that were attached to a borrowed airplane. They apparently came loose and jammed the rudder hard over, and she did not recover. I know that everyone installing rudder pedal extensions are going to make sure that there will be no interference ..... I'm only offering this as a reminder.

    What I learned from this is you can strike the tail on landing. I did not think you could. I have landed with very high nose attitude before practicing short field approaches, but probably not with an aft CG.

    Wayne, which wheel/bit are you using for rivet shaving? I have the equivalent corded model, with the long flex cable installed which makes it real nice for doing stuff like fiberglass and plexi trimming with cutoff wheel.

    Subject: Re: Tailcone crack found per SB 08-6-1
    I've never struck the tail in any way, but, I can tell you that if you haul a family with tons of baggage and are about as far aft as the CG range allows, you have to be very careful in the flare because there is a ton of elevator authority and it's easy to pull too much. Same on rotation. It's one of the reasons I value having a little heavier nose...I think the RV-10 is designed plenty far aft and I don't think it would be as nice to fly if you are pushing past that aft CG point.

    Subject: Governor control cable bracket
    With all the freezing rain and snow here the last few weeks, both my wife and I are appreciative of having the cars in the garage. The down size is that I have a twelve mile drive to an unheated hangar. The build has slowed down a bit, but I'm anxious to when it starts getting warmer. I'll be almost living at the hangar to get things done this summer. It won't be done for Oshkosh, but will be done before fall.

    Funny thing, the cars are in the garage, but its messier than it ever was with the airplane.

    Subject: FS: Bose X dual plug cord - coiled
    Both headsets are gone, but I am left with one extra Bose Dual-plug (standard jacks, NOT panel powered) cable/mic assembly. This is the whole mic and cable from the headset to the plugs, including the control box where the batteries go. I see on eBay they've been selling for upwards of $150. I'll list them there in a day or two if nobody wants them here, but first, I'll offer them to this list for $100 + shipping. I initially bought one of these cords so that if I were going to take my headset and go riding in someone else's plane who didn't have LEMO jacks, I could just throw on the standard cord. Then, when I bought my 5th headset, that one I got with dual plugs too. These cords aren't compatible with the A20 headset though, so it's time to sell. Let me know soon and it's yours, otherwise it'll appear on eBay. -- Tim Olson - RV-10 N104CD do not archive

    Boy do I every pay the right of passage having the garage full of RV-10 parts. I get plenty of lip service when the wife has to scrape the ice off her windows at 6:30 in the morning. I do volunteer to go scrape them but I am spoiled she says not thanks I can do it. HEHEHE John G.
