Well at least two RV-10 owners made it to "Thunder over Louisville Air Show
and Fireworks". Darned weather was the pits but still got to see some great
flying and fireworks. F-22, C-17 and the Sea Stallion helo are amazing!
The flight tribute with the P-51, F4 Phantom and the F-22 were sweet too.
Heck it's all good!
Always good to meet other RV-10 people!

Don't know what your question was, but if you are thinking about using the Sikaflex
system for bonding the windows, you can go to my web page link of how I replaced
a windshield using this system. I can highly recommend it for windshield
replacement
http://www.nwacaptain.com/windshield.html
It is very easy to clean up by using mineral spirits. Plenty of time to place
and adjust the windshield position.

I used this system to install my windows on my RV-10. New from Jamestown Dis
trubters costs over $113 plus shipping. I have one new unopened tube of the 2
95 UV adhesive, and well over 1/2 can of the 209D primer and Aktivator. Prim
er expires in August 2011, Aktivator in September 2011. This is enough to bo
nd in a full set of RV-10 windows.
$75 plus free shipping via FedEx Ground.

Wasn't there some concern whether Sikaflex provided as strong a bond as
Weld-on?

| Subject: | "Worn Out" CT-Q67 Cable Assembly (Warning!) |
Dear Listers,
At 170 hours on my RV-8 now, the Prop control had become increasing more difficult
to move starting around 100 hours. The Mixture and Throttle have worked fine
and continue to. All three controls use the standard "Green" control cables
from Vans, typically a "CT-Qxx" part.
A couple of weeks ago, I disassembled the Governor end of the assembly and made
sure that there was no binding or issues on that end. I even lightly lubed up
the various moving bits. Yesterday, the Prop control became so difficult to
move that I had trouble cycling the prop during run up. I pulled the whole throttle
quadrant installation apart today to have a look. I got the cable completely
out of the airplane and there are NO outward signs of wear or abuse of
*any kind*. But even with the cable completely out of the plane and nothing
connected to either end, it is almost impossible to move the cable!! I have a
new CT-Q67 cable assembly for my front-mounted governor installation and I'm
going to install that next.
But, I wanted to give everyone a heads up on these CT-Q controls. These things
are built like they go on a Caterpillar Tractor, so I can't figure out why they
would wear out like this.
If one of these controls starts getting stiff and tight, its probably not going
to get any better. Replace it before it becomes a safety issue! Not a big deal
on the Prop control, but on a throttle or mixture it could be a serious concern.
Best regards,
Matt

Many of these control cables have a plastic liner. If they are routed near
a heat source they tend to melt internally and become difficult to move.
That might be your issue, it was for me.

Glad you enjoyed the show. I am looking forward to joining you guys this fall.
Finished cabin cover finally! Pin hole/filler epoxy coat curing now. Working on

Contact John in purchasing at Vans; I had the same problem (at 400 TT) with
quadrant prop and mixture; He acknowledged that these are made from
Cablecraft Tuthill parts by an Oregon company and should last to TBO. It was
a PITA changing these with the engine on the airframe.

Routing of my cables was per Vans specifications and they were protected by

I also have a partial tube of Weld-On 45 and some mixing tubes an RV-10 builder
can have for shipping along with borrowing the gun. I want the $102 gun back
when finished. Bond strength is 2000 vs 2200 psi for Weld On 10 and the viscosity
makes it much easier to fill gaps and almost no runs/clean up afterwards.
I don't believe the 200 psi difference will cause me any problems. I tested plexiglass/aluminum/fiberglass
samples and it holds better than West epoxy on all
three. You need two 13.5 oz cartridges(approx $35/ea) and you will have a least
1/2 tube leftover. Costs are just slightly more than Weld On 10 since you
don't have to buy the gun. Get your cartridges/mixing tubes from The Engineer
Guy in Atlanta.
