I replaced Brake Pads on the first annual and reversed the main tires (200
Landings). We have just replaced the main tires (200 additional landings
(approx 350 hours total). Brakes pads still good.
We are using the brakes less and getting better life out of the pads.
Tires would last longer if Vans had changed the tire camber on the wheels.
Wearing the outside of the main tires seems like something they would have
an interest in fixing.

I made around 275 hrs. on brakes, but one pad was just barely
serviceable, wont go that long again. My tires are still good at 308
hrs. My new landing procedure will be to roll out more, save some
brakes.

I had the same situation on my old Maule, that is, the tires would wear
on the outside and would require flipping to get full wear.
I assumed it was because when the gear was unloaded, the gear legs would
swing inward somewhat. On landing, the outside of tires would contact
the runway first. That's when then would spin up from 0 to 50, and it's
also when any misalignment would be 'scrubbed off'. I figured it was
when the most wear was put on the tires.
Is this what may be happening with our '10s?
BTW, thanks for the maintenance profile question and the feedback - good

For what it's worth, time between replacements on things like tires and
brakes are going to depend a lot on what kind of flying you do. Lots of
landings equals wear and tear on the tires and brakes, in addition to
technique, rather than time. My tires started lasting a LOT longer once
my flights were more of the 4 hour type than beating up the landing
pattern. My point is simply this sort of data is going to vary a lot
between users so may not be of as much help as number of landings, which
most folks don't track in their maintenance logs. Having said that, it
still might be useful as most of us use the airplane for cross-country
so the info might be more consistent after all. Time for more coffee,
that was a lot of rambling, sorry.

My RV-4 does the same thing, as did my Cessna 140. This is simply a
characteristic of spring type landing gear. They are designed for the
wheels to have proper camber when carrying the weight of the airplane. As
Bill pointed out, the maximum wear occurs when they are pretty much
unloaded. If the gear were designed for the tires to touch down level, when
the gear was loaded with the airplane's weight they would be wrong and the
plane would be difficult to control on the ground.
If you want to have it both ways, you need gear like my Pietenpol has:

| Subject: | wing prep for AoA |
One last question before I'm ready for the bottom skins. I've got all
wiring done except whatever is needed for the Angle of Attack. The
instructions state to route 2 pressure tubes (what kind of pressure
tubes does this refer to). Also, is there room in Vans 3/4" conduit
with all the wires to run these in conduit? If not, how have those that
have done this routed the tubing? Also, it states to install in the
outboard bay. This is where my Duckworks lights will be. Will this
interfere with the AoA. Does it matter which wing the AoA is in. The
left wing is getting a little crowded--would it be fine in the right
wing? If I install it in the right wing, would the second bay from the
end work (keeps it away from the Duckworks)?
Thanks,
Bill

Depends on which AOA system you're using. If the AFS system, the tubing is
1/8" tygon so it's two runs of that. Which wing probably doesn't matter
but there is very specific info about exact placement of the top and bottom
ports. I'm sure you can find the install docs on the AFS website with the
details. Sorry, don't remember off the top of my head if it's the outboard
or next bay inboard from that but it's easily accessible after the skins
are on for install.

Bill ;
The AOA tubes are small flexible plastic tubes. You should have
enough room in the conduit for all the wires and the tubes. You
probably will have enough room to mount the light and the tubes in the
same bay. It makes it much easier to service when pulling off the
wingtip. I would probably still mount it in the left wing as the tubes
need to end up on that side ( the side with your main EFIS) screen. I
do not see any theoretical difference to which wing the AOA is on . It
still is just a differential pressure sensor. It just will make it
harder to route the tubing all the way across the back of the panel.
The less stuff you have crossing behind the panel, the better.

Definitely. It always wear on the outboard side of the tire, so you get almost

I believe they are supplier of main item in the IFlyRV10 handle kit.
If I had it to do over, I would not do the flush handles, as much as I
like the concept and appearance. Too much force needed at poor
leverage angles. Also greatly complicates installing Sean's 3rd latch
system, which IMHO should be mandatory.

I wait until there is no groove on the outside
tread groove...then flip it on the rim and use the
other side of the tire. Even when there's a lot of
wear there, it works out ok because you just don't
use the inside of the tire much at all.

If I had it to do over, I would not do the flush handles, as much as I
like the concept and appearance. Too much force needed at poor
leverage angles. Also greatly complicates installing Sean's 3rd latch
system, which IMHO should be mandatory.

I installed the iflyrv10 handles and later Sean's 3rd. Latch. I had no troubles
installing Sean's latch after the fact and both are working perfectly so far.
In almost two years and 260 hours of flying both of these after market products
are performing at or above expectations. I too agree that Sean's latch should
be mandatory.
If I was to build another -10 would I use these products again? Absolutely!

and it's a lot better than the ones shipped with the kit.
I lost a fairing on an early flight. After constructing a replacement
that didn't turn out real well, I reluctantly ordered a replacement.
The original part shipped with the kit was of low quality and required a
fair amount of work to finish properly. They appear to have improved
significantly.
In retrospect, I would have still ordered an aftermarket set if I had
known better. But the current crop of fairings are better than they were.
Now that the exterior finish is decent, I'm wondering if 2 layers of
cloth still need to be added.

Bruce, I used the Hendricks latches on my =9310. I am really
please with how they work, look and feel. I did my my own internal
handles though and discarded the ones that came with the latches. Also
you need to make your own internal push-rods to drive the door pins from
the latches, that=99s not part of the latch kit.
Additionally, I used the rivet-head receiver blocks in the door jambs.
I think those are critical to ensure the door latches properly.
For details, visit my picasa site on =9Cdoors, latches and
seals=9D

Has anybody installed the Hendricks door latch? Looking at the website

Are most of you laying a thin layer if fiberglass cloth over the rivet lines in
the fiberglass cowling, gear leg fairings, etc to keep the rivets from popping
the paint?
Thanks

Kelly,
I bought a hendricks door handle originally, but found that at 1 3/8
thick, it was bigger (thicker) than I wanted. I redesigned the handle and
pitched the idea to hendricks to make us a
custom handle better suited to the thickness of our RV10 doors. He declined,
so I started to make the thinner bodied handles and kitted it up to supply
the hardware required for installation in an RV10.
The design has been used in the hot rod industry as well, and its proven to
be a reliable platform. I have always personally manufactured all of my own
parts, until recently, I have started to
enlist the help of some of my advanced students on certain parts.
