You'll probably end up applying it several times to each piece but, only because that's how the work goes. It goes along way and is easy to take off. Took awhile to trust it and you still tape edges.

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? -------- Dave Ford RV6 flying RV10 building Cadillac, MI Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=373214#373214 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:11:38 AM PST US From: John Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: Doors & gas struts I have a gallon of this stuff (or equivalent) .

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. -------- Bill WA0SYV Aviation Partners, LLC Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=373260#373260 ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 08:51:33 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Stratus update From: Jesse Saint 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.
