Don't really have a conversion chart but most everything has dual designations there. Type in AN509 and the listing comes up for MS24694. From there you can see the second column contains the older AN509 dash number. The -8R10 looks to be MS24694-S7. Hope that helps out some.

I know you are both proud. Getting the wife involved is the best option (providing she wants). My wife became pretty good at shooting rivets while I got in the difficult areas to buck. She seemed to really enjoy being part of the project. Congrats! Byron N253RV Phase 1 From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Rob Kochman Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2011 12:59 AM Subject: RV10-List: Another first flight Hi, all... after three years, six months, and one week, our RV-10 finally had its first flight on Saturday! Rob took off from runway 34L at Paine Field, climbed to 3000 feet, circled the airport for 15 minutes, then landed uneventfully. Despite some nerves, the flight was a success. Only 39.75 more hours to go until the test period is complete and Kelly can ride, too! Our RV-10 is powered by an Aero Sport Power IO-540-D4A5 (260 hp), Silver Hawk EX FI system, with a slick mag on bottom and Light Speed Plasma III on top. The instrument panel has a Dynon D100 EFIS, Dynon D120 EMS, Garmin GNS 430 GPS, and panel-mounted Garmin GPSMAP 696. Interior by Flightline Interiors. Our tail number is 819K: 8/19 is our wedding anniversary, and K is for "Kelly" (according to her). Short video of today's flight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60XPTEVzhYs -Rob and Kelly http://kochman.net/N819K/ P.S. (from Rob) The airplane was definitely my passion, but there's no way I could have done it without Kelly. She put up with more than I could ever ask for and kept me sane during the low points of the building, but she also took it a step further. These pictures really show it was a team effort. http://kochman.net/KellyAirplane/ ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:22:40 AM PST US From: Phillip Perry Subject: Re: RV10-List: Another first flight Oh that's awesome! The commentary was the best part of the whole show. Congrats on a the first flight and excited wife. Phil ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 05:09:25 AM PST US From: Tim Olson Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: seat rails and AN509 8R10 screws But that's what I mean....I ordered like 8R7's, 8R8's, 8R9's, 8R10's, 8R... If you prepare and order some additional sizes above and below, you'll be r eady. I found many places where a slightly longer screw was nicer, or where I had some reason to switch. And for some locations I used stainless screw s instead of the Cad plated, depending on what it was for. You'll want to probably replace ALL of the wingtip and fairing screws with s tainless, and leave them unpainted if you don't like chipped paint screws. Do the same with AN bolts, especially 3's and 4's....get some additional siz es. For general hardware, I found it better to just empty the Vans baggies i nto parts bins all sorted out, and then order a pile of replacement and addi tional hardware so I had a more complete assortment of hardware. At this po int I rarely need to order anything. It promotes good maintenance because y ou feel happy to replace a screw when it's in worsening condition, rather th an reusing it because you didn't have one. Buy 100 packs of cotter pins too....especially the ones for the axles. And washers, and nuts both nylock and all-metal. You'll also find that in d oing the engine you don't always do things 100% identically to other people, so you'll want extra Adel clamps, and non-nylon nuts in the engine compartm ent. Washers too of course. The list is long but if you're going to be you r own mechanic later you may as well spend the $200-300 on extra hardware... .even some sizes not in the plans. If it were a rare size, I ordered 20, bu t common I just went for 100 packs for the discount. You can usually go up a size if you need to, in a pinch.

Over time and with cold temps it made the situation worse. The teflon? is on the seat riders. Had to clean out all the grease, they seem to work best without lube or perhaps some very light type. Have not tried that yet. If the tracks are the least bit out of alignment the problem is obviously worse.

Both sides on my 10 needed shinned at the aft end. I believe the plans talk about this. I have A .02 shim on the one side and without it The seat can will hardly move.

I then just put the bags in plastic drawers purchase from the aviation section of Lowes. The drawers are numbered with the bag number. When I need a specific part I just punch it in to the work area laptop, and it tells me which bag its in. Vans told me they were in the process of converting all of the antique inventory forms to Word. They sent me the QB Fuse list, which is all they had done at the time. It sure makes it easier to find stuff. I never did anthing more than a bag inventory. I did find that I was short 300 of the CS4-4s, which Vans sent me ASAP, no questions. bill -------- Bill Peyton Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=332990#332990 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
