Today, that's a good deal. I should warn you RV-10 guys....brakes may not last
you long until you get it in your head not to ride them. My first set lasted
150 hours or so, as a guess....I hit 170 and the rivets were hitting the rotors.
My next set went longer. But, if you fly 100 hrs/year, you'll want to inspect
every spring and fall and you will likely replace them every other year.
I'm sure many people will do better than me, too, but either way, always keep
a spare set on hand....you will find that it is nice not to scramble to order
them when you suddenly need them, because they're not convenient to change with
wheel fairings. That's why I have no air fill ports on the fairings....it
provides the necessary
Motivation to pop off the fairing occasionally and replace or inspect the brakes.

I've had the opportunity to fly RV-10's with and without rudder pedal extensions. I believe the rudder pedal extensions make staying off the brakes a whole lot easier. The angle of the pedals make it pretty hard to do without the extensions. This seems to be more true for taller pilots with bigger feet. I gave some transition training to a gentleman who purchased a flying RV-10 a couple of weeks ago. He was a big guy and had a real problem keeping his feet off the brakes. I am not sure, but suspect the rudder pedals were in the aft position on his airplane and that probably aggravated the problem. I installed the rudder pedal extensions from http://www.mlblueskunk.com/Rudder_pedal_Extensions.html and they are working great for me. There are other vendors selling similar extensions as well. I planned to change brake linings at my last condition inspection in December, but they were only about half worn at 300+ hours. I am going to take another look at them this week. Now that I am using my airplane for a little bit of Transition Training, I am sure the wear will accelerate.

I agree that a lot of pilots ride the brakes. While checking out another
pilot in my 10, I did not notice he was on the brakes until we touched and
then hopped on the nose wheel. I now fly with my feet on the weldments and
deliberately move feet to centers to apply brakes. I will be suggesting that
others who fly my aircraft avoid using the brakes on landing.

My suggestion is those at SnF talk to Ken at the Desser booth, he is the one
driving all the parts for the -10, the other folks there wont know. Ask him
about the pads and other -10 parts in the works. Tell him you want better
pricing on the pads. He has been more than willing to make it work for the
RV's in general and I have found he listens to suggestions.

I think those extensions probably aren't a bad idea if for
nothing else than as a training crutch to help prevent
someone from riding the brakes. You're right that especially
for tall people, and especially with the pedals in the aft
position, you can picture your foot that is always bent
back more than 90 degrees, just to make your foot sole
match the angle of the pedal. So having a little extra
bump out on the bottom bar is probably a good thing to help
keep your toes from hitting while your feet first touch.
If you notice on my rudder pedal blocks I made for andrea,
I added a piece of trim wood to put the bottoms out an
extra 1/4" or more too, just for that purpose.
I may actually give these pedal extensions a try. It's a bit
steep in price but they look to be done nicely. But at this
point I'm down to only a few upgrades/mods left that
I could possibly do, so maybe I should try them out. :)
The biggest downside for me is that they'd interfere with
my gust lock unless I modified that too...and I really
like my gust lock. But, oh well.
Thanks for reminding us of these David....I do think they're
a good idea.

Re: RV10-List: brake linings
HEALS ON THE FLOOR! That was what was drilled into me from early on in my
flight training. It is nearly impossible to actuate the breaks with your
heals touching the floor boards. For me I do that & keep the balls of my
feet on the corners of the peddle assemblies until I need to apply the
brakes. My first set of brakes lasts 195 hours including about 40 hours
flying off of grass strips which can be substantially harder on the pads.
Those pads still had 20+% left but since we were changing tires & tubes we
changed the shoes as well. I hope to get 300 hours out of my second set
flying exclusively on pavement.
I am sure the rudder pedal extensions will help prevent brake riding. I am
however reticent to add more weight & costs to my flying -10, especially for
something I can do without if I use basic piloting skills.

The FAA today released a new Advisory Circular that addresses the need for transition training in Experimental AB aircraft, as well as any airplane that is new to a pilot. It can be seen here. http://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/advisory_circulars/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/1018499

| Subject: | Slanted Right Elevator Trim Tab |
I noticed last night when looking down the back of the tail cone that the trim
tab on the right elevator appears to be slanted upward toward where the vs attaches.
Maybe the photos can better explain.

While at Sun n Fun I talked to wxworx about and ipad version. They just came out
with a Mobile link that sends the wxworx receiver data to the ipad via wifi.
They have their own app to show the weather on the ipad, but they also said
they are in talks with ForeFlight and WingX using the weather with their programs.
Any one interested can go to this link to this the info.

Sun n Fun so far is like Oshkosh -- WET! This weekend may not be that bad but
homebuilt turn out on Tuesday was very light.

It's really easy to build a twisted trim tab--I built two of them! It would
probably fly fine but looks silly, so I rebuilt mine with new skins and
spars. After you glue the foam ribs in, it's impossible to straighten (or
at least I couldn't figure it out).

Try to sight straight down the trailing edge, from the side....see if
there is any bowing or fishtailing to the way the edge is. It
looks like their either is some of that, or maybe some bending on
the end, but it's hard to say from those photos. If you had a straight
and true trim tab, it wouldn't likely be doing that. Try to do
all photos or visuals from real consistent centered places though.
All those photos are off center a bit so it's hard to tell what's
an optical illusion and what's real.
None of the parts in the fail feathers are very expensive, so if
you find something that just isn't great and you figure out the
cause, it wouldn't be a big deal to re-build.
