I was laughing to myself on the index mark conversation earlier that I couldn't even see 3 of the marks on. Y doors. :-) Michael On Jan 7, 2012, at 8:14 AM, "billz" wrote: > > I've got everything trimmed except the area around the left door. The bottom of the left door opening looks like it needs to be trimmed another 1/8 in? This will allow the top to drop the 1/8 in needed in the area just behind the door. My concern is making the area on the bottom of the door too thin. Perhaps I'm overly concerned, since there will be filling done in that area. > > Looking for ideas from those who have been through this, already. > Thanks > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=362654#362654 > > > > > Attachments: > > http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_1470_208.jpg > http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_1469_562.jpg > > > > > > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:50:15 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Trimming Cabin top From: "johngoodman" It's hard to tell because the pictures are way too big. From what I can tell, you are safe to cut that 1/8". John -------- #40572 Phase One complete and flying.

The big issue is during Phase One. After that, tools and baggage suffice. I used a ShurTrax 100 lb "traction aide" from Summit racing. The tiedown eyelets on the corners fit great with my Van's tie down fittings. And, you can dump the water when you're done. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SPK-CLW0036/ It definitely flies better with weight in the back, more stick authority and less trim. My "Most Aft CG" calculation exceeds max gross before the CG hits 116.24 inches. The only way I could hit 116.24" is to have a 5 year old in the right seat, fuel down to 10 gallons, and the back loaded to max gross. That would require two 250 pounders and max baggage. Sounds like a "fun" trip...(g). John -------- #40572 Phase One complete and flying.

I solved the problem by adding a support bracket to keep the box from bouncing around (the prop was dynamically balanced). I did the same for the RV-10. The RV-10 air box is modified to take the taller K&N E-1000 air filter - the modification is simply to invert the air box cover. This box is also modified to fit the James Cowl. Forwarded for your information.
