    That will make the desktop back round for a while. Dr Fred See you all at Oshkosh. Should be there Sunday through Tuesday. If anybody wants to team up on Sunday morning from Southern Kansas around Wichita let me know. I have to be at a wedding in Winfield on Saturday.

    Subject: New option for nose wheel
    For anyone who did not see this in VAF =97=8F BERINGER Introduces Nosewheel Solution for Van=99s RV-10 Tallard, France: BERINGER Wheels & Brakes=C2=AE, the high-performance leaders in light aircraft wheels and brakes, announces a new nosewheel and axle solution for the popular Van=99s RV-10. The new nosewheel kit includes the lightweight BERINGER wheel and a mounted tubeless tire, plus the unique 1-piece thru-axle and associated parts and hardware necessary for the installation. Builders have long battled the setup of the nose wheel, which, in the original configuration, often results in either too-tight or too-loose fitment, resulting in poor ground handling or excess wear. Not only is the sensitive problem of front-axle tension eliminated with the BERINGER thru-axle, the use of low-resistance ball bearings (instead of the usual tapered rollers) noticeably reduces rolling resistance. While this may not shorten your takeoff roll, you will appreciate it when you=99re parking your RV after a long flight. Retail is $649, and includes high-strength aluminum axle and spacer, plus the assembled wheel assembly with mounted and pressure-tested Michelin tire. 9.1 pounds, total. Beringer wheels feature sealed lifetime ball bearings, high-strength aluminum axles, and a tubeless tire design, saving weight and lowering temperature buildup while reducing the chance of a blowout. Beringer will exhibit at Oshkosh, Booth # 437, and the company plans to offer an =9Cexchange rate discount=9D for customers who pay with dollars. (The amount will depend on the prevailing exchange rate.) Spare and replacement parts are readily available in the USA through Aircraft Spruce. http://www.beringer.fr/aero.php

    Seems to me, IIRC the prices I paid Matco for their solution, this is 2-3 times more expensive than getting the Matco axle and spacers to go with the correct Matco wheel. Beringer wheels are beautiful, but I suspect not all builders will want to spend for this deluxe wheel/axle.

    When you back out all the Vans items (assuming you do this at time of purchase) is it that much more? Probably so but their equipment sure looks nice.

    There's also the tire replacement problem. This is a tubeless tire which makes changing much like a car tire.

    Vans subtracts out the cost of the items deleted. There is no difference in price between the wrong Matco wheel and the correct one, so all you are really paying for is the axles and spacers plus shipping. However, I have found it desirable to forget pricing soon after the item arrives. I doubt I have $100 over the price of Van's stock arrangement. I agree the Beringer is a beautiful wheel.

    Subject: Re: External Brake Lines - crack
    Many thanks everyone for your input. Vans should consider including the flexible hose lines in the RV10 kit... has this been raised with Vans before? all the best Evan Andrews VH-OSH Flying 154hrs -----Original Message----- From: rv10flyer Sent: Friday, July 08, 2011 5:49 AM Subject: RV10-List: Re: External Brake Lines - crack 31 1/2" -3 hose with -4 straight fittings on each end. Like Tim said they know exactly what you need. Everything fit fine on mine. The two hoses from copilot master cylinders to reservoir tee fitting were 1" too long but they still worked. +1 for 5052-O fuel/brake lines. Van's 3003-O is going to be hauled off for scrap this winter after flying. 5052-O would have broken too...it just takes twice as long. Back to wheel pants...oh I love fiberglass. At least the end is near as my pile of parts is getting real small. Ted Chang's BIG West trip on VAF has really got me motivated now. Looking forward to some cool fall test flying. -------- Wayne Gillispie, A&amp;P 5/93, PPC 10/08 Bldr# 40983 SB Started 12/1/09. Fuselage Sec 46 Eng mount/Gear- 1359 hrs to date.
