    Is it just the flimsiness of the gray Vans seal that people object to? That's what bothered me, so I went with a AS-acquired seal that was the same dimensions as Vans, but was more of a foam-rubber-like material, in black. Think it was called luggage door seal. Very solid and keeps its shape well. Takes more effort to close, but not unreasonable. Seems like it will hold up well too. It kept the modifications to the door and frame to a minimum. Course, I'm not flying yet, so YMMV. Dwight Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=343292#343292

    From: Kelly McMullen <apilot2@gmail.com>
    Vans sells a kit shelf for ADHARS. It clearly is intended by Vans to be placed alongside the elevator bellcrank behind the battery. I know some (Dynon) ADHARS have incorporated the magnetometer in the same unit, so need a magnetically benign location. Given the steel bolts, etc in the bellcrank, probably not so good a place. IIRC some have built a shelf near the top of fuselage one bulkhead behind the rear of the baggage compartment. I don't remember who's website I saw this on, but would like to copy it. Can someone give me a link to such a fabrication? Kelly 40866 Not sure from day to day what stage I am at...somewhere between fuselage and FWF.

    After longer than I want to admit, I am at the final stages of fitting the doors! Just painted the interior last night. I finally got a satisfactory fit by using clear packing tape on the Jams, hair spray as a release agent, then used flox with the west systems and filled the jams with the doors closed. This allows the resin to stick to the door edge and not the jams. Then meticulously hand and until you get the gap you want. No doubt the doors SUCK!

    This is what I did. The bottom of the shelf is made from =BC=94 fiberglass fiber core board (out of the scrap bin of a Lancair builder). The hardest part was getting the dimensions of the sides just right so that the shelf was level with the plane axis. Note the copper wire used for the hinge pins instead of steel pins and the ADHARS mounting hardware is non-magnetic stainless steel. The shelf is very ridged. The hinge material makes for easy shelf removal/install. Carl Prepping the fuselage for paint.

    Subject: Re: Travel insurance
    Others have mentioned builder's insurance which I agree, however I got some unsettling news when I asked the question to my insurer Falcon insurance. Turns out they only cover a short drive from the house to the airport. I am quite sure I asked the question before moving it from Fl to MS and then to VA and felt it was covered, turns out it was not! Good thing nothing happened, but I highly recommend not just builders insurance but verifying they will cover the transit you have planned.

    I priced non-flying a/c insurance when I was building my plane and I felt that it was too high. As a former insurance agent. I feel that a lot of insurance in the non-mass-market product lines is overpriced due to a lack of good actuarial data. Similar products are sailboats on round-the-world voyages, special event insurance, and earthquake insurance in small markets. It is my feeling that the companies just price the product off the top of their heads with no real feel for the risk. I went naked on insurance till I got my N-number. You can minimize a lot of risks with a few extra safety precautions: Have several fire extinguishers around you build site or hanger. Use lots of people to help you move the plane and explain what you are doing before you do it making sure that everyone understand what is going to happen. Finally move the plane during low traffic times (I did mine early Sat. morning). For a long haul 5-7AM in the Summer is a good low traffic time, or 7-9 in the evening. You cannot eliminate risk, but you can do a lot to minimize it. -------- See you OSH '11 Q/B - flying 1 yr+ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=343299#343299

    I'd put the wings on it, fly it for awhile, fix all the squaks, and then fly it to the painters!! Then if you have something you want to change or add (like more cowl exit lo uvers to cool the engine) you won't mess up your pretty paint job! Just something to think about....

    Tim, What's with the spalled paint in front of the trim tab cable attachments? Is there a problem with cracking or flexing? Hoping you'll chip in to the discussion about door seals and tell us that the Van's one is just fine and super easy to install. Irrational optimism I know ......... And hoping this makes you feel any better, think about 2.50 Swiss francs/litre (=8.7 $/FG) next time you get gas as cheap as 6.10 ;-) Enjoy the rest of your trip!

There were a few other issues to keep a close eye on and the entire process confirmed the need to trust but double check everything. Thanks for the post.

    On that paint, we tried to paint those tabs as light as possible, and when you combined the too-thin paint job with a crappy job of prep on that area, that's what you get. That and around the base of the cowl are my worst areas. As far as door seals go, I was happy with Van's seal. It's a nice grey silicone that matches the plane, it went on fine, and it's held up well except for where I punctured it near the front door pin holes. And even then, I siliconed it back together and it's fine. It seals real well. Yes, it's a very tight fit, and I'm sure someone has done it better, but I've been happy enough that I would probably do it all over again the same way. I prefer the seal on the door to the seal on the airframe, too...which isn't a universal preference. Got home from the trip just fine. Now no big trips for a while again, but the next one I think will have to be back to the Bahamas. When flying along at 8,500' today, the Bahamas was where my mind was...that is the best place to fly that I've been and I can't wait to go back.

    Sean, You had asked about the broadband splitter. I was able to get a picture of it yesterday. I believe that this is who makes them for Garmin. They are very small, especially for the amount of money that they get for splitters. I didn't look up a source for these but there should be enough info in the picture to find them. I got it from my local avionics shop (Airborne Electronics, Sacramento). Sorry, I don't have the Garmin part number equivelent but I can get it for you, if necessary. This broadband splitter is only needed in front of the SL30 or other units that have the internal splitter for the glide slope and nav signals. You can come off the other side of this unit with a standard splitter for going to the two inputs for the 430W. I hope this helps. -------- Nick Leonard RV-10 (40015) Finish Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=343355#343355 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/broadband_splitter_144.jpg

    You might note that if you go to the website shown on the unit that they sell for about $45 from the manufacturer.

    Kelly, Ivan Kristensens got a real good set of photos on his web site that I intend to use for my build. - Rick #40956 Wings on hold during "Assembly Facility Insulating"-- --- On Fri, 6/17/11, Kelly McMullen <apilot2@gmail.com> wrote: From: Kelly McMullen <apilot2@gmail.com> Subject: RV10-List: ADHARS Location Received: Friday, June 17, 2011, 3:17 PM Vans sells a kit shelf for ADHARS. It clearly is intended by Vans to be pla ced alongside the elevator bellcrank behind the battery. I know some (Dynon ) ADHARS have incorporated the magnetometer in the same unit, so need a mag netically benign location. Given the steel bolts, etc in the bellcrank, pro bably not so good a place. -IIRC some have built a shelf near the top of fuselage one bulkhead behin d the rear of the baggage compartment. I don't remember who's website I saw this on, but would like to copy it.- Can someone give me a link to such a fabrication?
