    They have the measurements for all of the lines except the long runs through the tunnel and the shorter runs from the tunnel to the LG mounts. Check out my video of a full installation. It'll help you make some choices regarding lengths of those runs if you want them. http://youtu.be/gemgQmVsOYI Phil On Tue, Jan 24, 2012 at 8:13 AM, Danny Riggs <jdriggs49@msn.com> wrote: > Yes they know the right size. > > ------------------------------ > From: tdawson-townsend@aurora.aero > To: rv10-list@matronics.com > Subject: RV10-List: Bonanco brake lines > Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:01:36 +0000 > > Listers: > > I'm thinking of replacing the plastic brake lines in the cabin.

    Just be aware, that this is a replacement for the plastik lines only but not for the alu lines you have in the tunnel.

    Subject: Re: Bonanco brake lines
    Having an intense fear of flaring, I chose to replace all the aluminum and plastic tubing with Bonaco lines. I was very impressed by Phil Perry's installation and copied it, with some slight modifications. For anyone interested, the attached document shows the results. There is a table at the end of the document with the hose sizes, lengths, fittings and clocking not only for the standard Bonaco RV-10 set but also for the tunnel brake and fuel hoses. Note the caveat on the fuel lines from the tanks - I haven't yet had the wings on to verify the length and clocking but as far as I can see they are good! As for the rest I am happy with the result. Cheers, Gordon Anderson 41015, Switzerland

    Usher Precision makes the actuator and sells the motor.

    I just finished passing my Instrument Rating checkride this afternoon (stress level has now decreased 100%) and the examiner said there was an RV-10 based at KUGN? If so and you're on this list, I'd enjoy the opportunity to come and check it out. I'm on the finish kit and still haven't flown in one. Hint Hint. :) -Sean #40303

    Sean, That's awesome on the Instrument rating! You'll use it a lot. Are you based near KUGN or just in the area for a while? That's a ways from me, but just over an hour. I can't probably get down that way right now, but if you live around there maybe something can work this spring.

    Lew, I have your heli coil kit with a bunch of extra coils. Should I 1. return it to you (address please)? 2. Send it to next person on list? 3. Hold until next person asks for it?

    Its with great pleasure I get to announce the completion of First Flight for N541RV, previously known as,,, serial 40176. 8 years of work has paid off. 4 pm today EST a smooth lift off, followed by a 2000 fpm climb to 4500 msl. All went well, airplane handles like a dream. Explored low speed handling including near stall with flaps in and out, all normal and within a few knots of Van=99s numbers. Finished up with a smooth landing to cap off a perfect experience. All equipment under the hood and behind the instrument panel performed flawlessly. Wow, is all I have to say...

    All equipment under the hood and behind the instrument panel performed flawlessly. If only I could have said the same thing on my first flight, high oil pressure, high CHT, and constant =9Ccheck blah blah=9D on headset that really helped with my first flight. In time it all went away with a little coercing from a screw driver to get the ranges corrected. A testament to your great attention to detail before that first flight Bob! congratulations!
