It goes along way and is easy to take off. Took awhile to trust it and you still
tape edges. Paper and tape works as well but you can't see through it.

| Subject: | Firewall pass-through |
I'm to the point of preparing for engine mounting and want to get things on firewall
so only have to hang engine once if possible. Wondering about either using
the compression type cable pass-throughs or the simpler bushing and sealant
method. Is there any other option or should I be swayed one way or the other?

| Subject: | Building the tail cone |
Question for those who used a quickbuild fuselage:
Did you build the tail cone structure using the quickbuild fuselage as a
hanger (not to be mistaken with hangAr)?
In other words, did you hang the tail cone structure on the fuselage when
building it, or did you build it separately?
Regards
Carlos

It is built separately. The plans tell you when to attach the tail cone to the
fuselage.

Due to a backlog of QB orders at Vans', my tailcone was completed before I ever

About what I had...ordered when I figured I need the QB in 10 weeks. 8
months later I got my shipment, with some significant errors by the
"new" QB facility. Hopefully they have improved in the last 2 yrs.

I purchased the compression pass through fittings from ACS. I was going to just
use the bushings as the plans call for, but for sealing and fire protection
the metal would hold up better.

I just flew to Atlanta & back yesterday with the iPad & Stratus, then flew up to
PA today with it, but had to fly back from PA to NC with a 696 with XM because
the Stratus was needed in another plane. I would have easily given up the 696
to have the iPad & Stratus combo. I did have coverage the whole way, so that's
a limiting factor of the ads-b in low/no coverage areas, but I am extremely
pleased with it.
I'll do a more detailed write up later from my computer including screenshots.
I did fly through a fair bit of IMC and it was right on, very helpful and very
easy to use.

| Subject: | Main gear shudder revisited |
Okay, I've done the things suggested in the past on this thread relative to
main gear leg shudder. -So, after having a chase car observe the main ge
ar lateral to and fro motion, re-torqueing axle nuts, checking gear box bol
ts, balancing tires and wheel covers, buying new tires and balancing them,
installing braided brake lines, experimenting with various weights of the p
lane (fuel, baggage, people), fore and aft stick, different tire pressures,
tapping the brakes, letting it roll out, I still get 14-16 knot shudder,
-And so, I've adopted previous suggested attitudes of "regard it as not a
problem", "annoying and embarrassing but not a problem", and "don't worry,
just let it shake".=0AQuestion: other RV models have used wood stiffeners;
-has anyone actually used this or other material in an RV-10, and if so,
did it work? -What material, shape, length, and how fastened? -Any oth
er suggestions?=0AThanks.=0ACurt Groote

I've been flying with wood stiffeners fiberglassed on the gear legs for abou
t 20 hours. It has definitely helped but when I'm light they still lightly s
hake. When I'm heavy they don't shake at all. Mine used to shake at 30 kias
. Much better though.
