I have a quick build fuselage with the forward top skin and instrument ribs put together as an assembly, the lower F1003b brace riveted in which I'm assuming I need to remove and not use. Question is clearances at the forward edge of CF panel and CF panel sub brace and top skin. As it is the CF sits proud all the way around the sub brace. Am I suppose to remove material at top, sides and forward to allow 1) CF panel to fit flat against sub brace? 2)room for glare shield material? 3) CF panel to sit as far forward as possible? As it sits right now the panel will cover about half of the grab holes of top skin not leaving enough room to fit fingers in. Anyone with photos of similar phase of install or insight that could help? -------- Dave Ford RV6 flying RV10 building Cadillac, MI Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=390457#390457 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:55:47 PM PST US From: Kelly McMullen Subject: Re: RV10-List: Mounting Aerosport panel I just dealt with this last month. IMHO, the easy way is to slot the holes that the subframe mounts to the cowl deck structure by about 1/8". A Dremel rotary file is probably the quickest, if not easiest to control. The other option is a whole lot of nasty sanding down the CF.

Here is a photo looking up and showing the attachment of the new substructure from Aerosport. If you haven't already, download the installation instructions. The standard Vans panel is completely replaced when you install the Aerosport panel. -------- Bill WA0SYV Aviation Partners, LLC Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=390469#390469 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_1957_179.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_1957_192.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
