It is very Cool looking and weighs only 114#. They have a display on an RV10 fuselage near the Vans booth at EAA. It will require a new cowl and modified engine mount. One possible answer to to end of 100LL. Bad part is the cost $100k and burns 18 GPH -------- See you OSH '11 Q/B - flying 1 yr+ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=347828#347828 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:13:39 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Drill recomendation From: "Space Cadet" I've tried the hardware-store screw removal bits with marginal success, I've found that just using a standard drill bit run in the opposite direction with some solid pressure frequently gets the screw out enough.

Extraction bits only generate so much force before they will break. The #6 nutplates from Vans take WAY too much torque to install the screws, and just cause a few problems because of that excessive drag. I find they work a lot better if I run a tap into them part way, which then reduces the drag, while still giving plenty of locking force.
