I painted them white to match the wing. The paint gummed up the threads just enough to eliminate the need for jam nuts, just as I planned.

(Newer ports form SafeAir are the same they simply beveled the edge of the port.) I have a G900X system with Gretz pitot. I have done GPS speed tests and find TAS is indicating 4 knots lower than actual. I have read Tim's post on changing ports to improve the error. Has anyone with similar system as mine found a similar error and been able to reduce or eliminate it?

From: Ed Kranz Thanks everyone! Sounds like I won't need the jam nuts even if I do leave them in... which I probably won't. On the other hand, I am going to permanently attach my tail tail down. Wouldn't want the rudder fairing taking damage if a tail strike were to happen... ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:26:36 AM PST US From: Jae Chang Subject: Re: RV10-List: Jam nuts for wing tie-down eyebolts? i use a jam nut with the aero SS tie down from cleveland tools. i leave them in. i left the hole as small as possible. jae -- #40533 RV-10 First flight 10/19/2011 Phase 1 Done 11/26/2011 do not archive ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 03:45:52 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Brake Pads?
