    Here's another one in SoCal I saw on the Socal RV list: http://www.trade-a-plane.com/detail/Single+Engine+Piston/2008/Vans/RV-10/1298110.html RV-10 with Chelton EFS & Air Conditioning - $180k Premium Van's RV-10.

Robin, You won't like this answer perhaps, but, the only time the resale value matters is if you are selling it. And, if you built your airplane for your own recreation and enjoyment, then you're probably planning to keep your airplane for a while and enjoy it. If the values dip $10,000, $20,000, or even $50,000, it won't matter unless you end up having to do a fire sale because you have big financial problems or something. And if you were to just plain die, you died a happy airplane owner and oh well, I guess your estate ends up a little shorter. To me, the biggest potential for loss of value AND loss of enjoyment, is if fuel prices double or triple and we can simply no longer afford to feed the engine. If that happens, we'll all own boat anchors, and my plan will be to stick a couple of widescreen monitors on the glareshield and have the best friggin' $200,000 flight simulator you can have. Also, part of the reason the values dropped is because so many people got dollar signs in their eyeballs when the RV-10 came out, and built it and then turned and sold it. If nothing else, this will discourage people from building to sell, further reducing the values, and keeping the spirit of the process intact....and it may attract some pilots to RV's in the long run too.

    I used the thinner walled stuff (i.e. the .305 ID or .035 wall thickness), which I think matches the thickness of the 3003 Van's ships. Note these are the measurements for the 3/8" tubing, so I assume you're talking about fuel lines. -Rob On Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 3:30 PM, Sean Stephens <sean@stephensville.com>wrote: > > For those using the 5052 tubing, did you use the .305 or .277 inside > diameter? > > http://www.aircraftspruce.com/**catalog/mepages/alumtube_5052.**php<http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/mepages/alumtube_5052.php> > > Thanks, > > -Sean #40303 > > On 7/11/11 11:43 AM, John Cumins wrote: > >> --> RV10-List message posted by: "John Cumins"<jcumins@jcis.net> >> >> I believe that Vans is using poor quality tubing.

    I used .035" wall thickness on fuel and brake lines. Est what you'll need then order 2 ea extra 6' lengths of each size. Shipping is higher on the long boxes. I purcased ss/teflon flex brake line set from Bonaco. -------- Wayne Gillispie, A&amp;P 5/93, PPC 10/08 Bldr# 40983SB IO-540 Install.

    Subject: Re: External Brake Lines - crack
    I will be doing the same. Due to the massive flexing of the gear lag I think the Flix lines will last much better than any hard line will. And the Flex of the gear legs will never become an issue at all. But I will do all hard lines as per plans just with 5052 lines not 3003 lines. Probably Branco flex lines on the brake systems where needed to. Those plastic lines shoe not be allowed on the plane at all.
