It installs and removes in minutes thru the baggage door. I requires under floor mods for attaching to the floor, so is best done before closing the baggage floor out. If interested in pictures contact me by email.

From: "maca2790" Thank you Patrick for the photos. That's is precisely the sort of thing I was thinking about doing. I asked Vans about drilling the Web and they seemed to think it would be ok as long as the holes were small and not great in number. I think 4 x #19 holes would qualify in that respect. As for the 3M Velcro I think that Idea has merit as well. I have actually got some here that I had used to mount a Remote Control Head for a Ham radio in my SUV. It worked well for about 8 months and then the Sun eventually melted the glue and it fell off. (it gets hot in Aussie) I still can't get the glue off the Dashboard :) thank you all John MacCallum Builder 41016 VH-DUU Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=365990#365990 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 02:11:34 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Drilling the Spar Web? From: "jchang10" Instead of drilling new holes, i first try using any existing holes. Thus, I used the existing spar attach bolts to attach a small shelf for holding all my control stick wiring and connections, which worked out well. Unfortunately, i can't find photos of my install. FWIW.

Hey John, While I suggested the velcro, and think it could be perfect for the use, I have one more thing for a thinking point. If you do use velcro, pay close attention to the overall installation. Remember that your controls are under the seat as well. So ANYTHING you put under the seat, be wary that it's secured in such a way that if it breaks free it can't jam the controls. I'd be fine using velcro, but, you probably should put a cable clamp on the harness, perhaps secured with an adel clamp to the gear leg mount or something. That way if it does break free, it can't get near the stick. Just wanted to keep that thinking point out there because anytime you do anything around the control surfaces, be extra careful. That goes for people putting things down the center tunnel as well.

From: "maca2790" Good point Tim. I was also thinking of trying to make some sort of bracket that I could hang off the cover plate that is under the seat. Maybe something coming off the existing bolts on the Undercarriage mounts would be good as well. I will have a think about it. Another thought I just had is to make some sort of tray arrangement so that the tray captures anything that falls off before it falls onto the control rods. thanks all again.

The first one I hooked up melted when I powered it up. Since SteinAir is so awesome they sent me another one right away. Must have had a bad batch of pitots way back then. The second one worked/works great. I would go for the simplest solution. The Gretz has a timer and three lights for the panel, (fail),(heat),(idle). I think a pitot that you turn on if there is visible moisture and 10 C or less and forget about it is good. The only thing I like about the Gretz is there is a light that is on when it is on. As long as you have a way to remind you it's on. Maybe one light would be sufficient without a timer. I don't know anything about the other pitots so I can't say they would be simpler.
