I don't see the RV-10 pads listed on Desser's site. Am I missing them or are they
no longer available.
Thanks Ron

Ron, as posted also on VAF, Rapco is apparently no longer making them. I emailed
Desser a few months ago and they did not have any, and did not know if or when
they ever would.
But, the Rapco pads for the 10 were still twice as expensive as the pads for any
other RV, just a few dollars less than the Clevelands ($19 per pad from Chief,
with no rivets included).

You are not missing anything. I called them to order the Rapco pads and
got the following story when I then called Rapco. They are going to have
the brake pads, hopefully in the next few weeks. They made an initial set
for PMA qualification testing, but haven't made any since as they await the
FAA approval. The initial build were the ones that some folks were able
to buy, but now are out of stock. They told me the testing was complete
and they were awaiting the paperwork, so perhaps they will actually be
available soon. Also, they led me to believe the price would be coming
down to about $12 per lining.

When someone hears they are available again, please post.
I am only at 76.9 hrs, but I like keeping spares on hand of oil filter/oil/tires/tubes/pads/start
& master contactors/fuel selector valve/prop oring/caliper
oring. I have all but pads and caliper oring in case someone gets in a bind and
is near S. Ohio.

What kind of life are folks experiencing with their brake pads? I would
hope at least 300 hours, perhaps more.

Of course we all think we are good on our brakes but I "believe" I have been
pretty easy on mine. I have been mostly landing on long runways and not
needing to get on them. When I finally replaced mine they were literally
1/128 from the rivets. I looked at them around 190 flight hours and thought
I had some room for more flights when I probably should have replaced them.
Mine started to grab so I cleaned them up replaced the O-ring and liners at
247 hours. As you recall Kelly, you replied to my question about replacing
the parts but all I needed to do was replace the liners, O-rings and bleed
them. I used that lube you recommended and so far they have worked great.
I think when the puck was close to the end of its travel it was causing the
assembly to wedge against the rotor causing it to rub and stick. So I would
say around 200 flight hours the liners should be replaced. I guess it would
be more accurate to look at cycles but I haven't calculated that yet.
On another note we all have heard from Vans that lower pressure was better
for vibration. I filled my tires up to 50psi and they work really good this
way. I built the gear leg stiffeners out of wood and glassed them in. It
really resolved the vibration except for days I was extremely light. When I
was really light I still felt a little vibration on my right gear leg. Now
I have 50 PSI in the tires and absolutely no vibration.

I run a little higher psi too and have no shimmy with no stiffeners. I usually
fly solo but rarely land with less than half tanks.
I have a feeling that most -10 pilots will go through their first set of pads a
lot faster than subsequent sets due to knowing your craft better. Drive that
plane with your heels on the floor as much as you can.
