My Garmin 496 antenna is mounted on the top of the instrument panel and gets a
good signal all the time. I saw a lot of nice installations inside the rear part
of the cowl, but was concerned about the heat accumulating there after engine
shutdown affecting the wire and antenna!

I just spoke with Van's and they do not have a problem with me sharing
the plans with other -10 builders. They just don't want them accessible
to everyone in the world with an internet connection.
If anyone would like to have access to them, please email me directly
along with your builder number and I will get you access to the plans.

Shannon,
How about making them available to anyone with a valid RV-10 customer
number with Vans? I think it would be a very helpful option Van's could
even offer if you sent them the file.

| Subject: | Tie downs and local OSH events |
If anyone gets to OSH and discovers they need tiedowns, EAA Chapter 444 sells
tiedowns that are similar to what Paul describes below at the tiedown shack near
homebuilt parking. They are based on the design in the article below and
they have sold thousands of these and have never had a complaint that I'm aware
of. Many were in use down at Lakeland this year and no one lost their aircraft
because of them. I know this sounds like a shameless plug but this is the
primary revenue driver for the chapter for the year and I can't see spending
the money on the Claw or others when these work just as good. They are $20 for
purchase or you can "rent" them by returning them for $10 back at the end of
the show.
http://www.airventure.org/planning/tying_down.html
Another shameless plug, W34 (30 miles due north from OSH) is having their annual
fly-in on Sat/Sun this week. It's one of the best kept grass strips in the
state. They have live music on Sat and breakfast on Sunday. More info below.
http://www.shioctonairport.com/Fly-In.html
Lastly, 68C has decided to have their famous Friday lunch this year during Airventure.
They usually don't but due to popular demand they have decided to go
ahead and have it this year. This is one of the best lunches in the area and
if you want to get out of OSH for an afternoon, head up there.

Subject: Re: RV10-List: Abe's Tiedowns for OSH
I bet my tie downs would surpass any and didn't cost three bills. I cut 1/2 inch
rebar in 25 inch lengths. Grind a point on one end and heat the other end
with a torch to form a loop. I drive them into the ground near each other at
a 45 degree angle so that when fully in the gowned the loops are together. Easy
to tie the rope through. They are next to impossible to pull out either straight
up or at an angle. And as recommended by the FAA, they go into the ground
about 18 inches. and I drive them into the ground outward and foreword of
the wing ties and behind the tail. Ah, weight you say. Yes, nine pounds for
all six rebar and a ball peen to drive them in. 2.8 less than Abe's. I have
used these for years at Osh and elsewhere without any problems. I hope the photos
I have attached come through. If anybody is interested in more info, please
contact me offline. My worries at Osh is not that my rebar tie downs will
hold, but what the guy next to is using. I made these many years ago after surmising
that all the products I saw commercially sold were inadequate.

| Subject: | Re: My "fix" for dragging brakes |
A day or two late, but here are some details on the mod. I shot a video on
my brake lines and someone noticed the return springs. At the bottom of
this thread is a narrative description.
http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=63149
The single best thing one could do is bend the flanges of the pedals inward
so the bolt holes are perfectly aligned. This eliminates all binding caused
by misaligned boles on both sides of the pedal. Once they're aligned there
is absolutely no binding and the pedal is free to do anything it wants. I
don't think I even need the return springs now, but since they are there and
I already spent the money on them - I left them.
