The welded on tab makes it much easier to remove the pins and keeps them very securely. Just using an eyelet to hold the tip of the pin is not nearly as nice, IMHO.

I don't understand why they don't provide enough for the side hinges between the top and bottom cowl. Page 47-8 says they are available from the accessories catalog. I'd think they are more than just accessories. I understand that they weld on a retainer for these "accessories", but one would think that it would be supplied in the kit. > > -Sean #40303 > > > > ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:28:37 PM PST US From: Jesse Saint Subject: Re: RV10-List: Bottom wing skin J-stiffeners You can see in the drawings which goes under just with the different views of the setup. do not archive Jesse Saint Saint Aviation, Inc. jesse@saintaviation.com C: 352-427-0285 F: 815-377-3694 On Dec 15, 2012, at 8:16 PM, Bill and Tami Britton wrote: > Quick, simple question. The instructions state that the outboard bottom wing skin overlaps the inboard bottom skin but doesn't mention how the stiffeners overlap. Do I assume it's the same as the skins (which is what I've done up to this point) or does it really matter??? > > Thanks in advance, > Bill > > > > ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:17:00 PM PST US From: Tim Olson Subject: Re: RV10-List: Cowl Hinge Pins Amen to that Jesse! I had just the hing section for a long long time, and while it did work, eventually the eyelet widens and the pin can start to move and then the wear happens faster yet. I did the JB weld thing for a while to hold it on, and that worked ok for a while but soon one of them broke free and then I had to re-glue it. Finally I got ticked off enough that I did it better. I bought new pins, and a section of stainless hinge, and silver soldered them together. Yes, Van's does sell a pre-made pin, but by this point I was irritated and knew I could do a better job if I took the time. Wish I would have had Van's pins right from the start. Actually, if I could do it all over again, I'd make mine look like Sean's where the pins get hidden by an oval shaped RV-10 logo. That to me trims it out perfectly.
