Please tell us which is the ref. # of the McMaster-Carr seals you used.
Thanks

My scribe lines were really far off. By the time I realized this, it would
have been too much trouble to undo. So... I ended up using McMaster-Carr
door seals and it worked out well.

Hi Bob
I'm not quite understanding the detail you describe about the
instalation of
your wingtip Comm antenna, especially when you say "then bent it down".
Do you have a picture of that?

Ah, the never ending debates. I have basically the same data, wrt the
Wingtip com antenna, but came to the opposite conclusion!
I have a belly whip on #1, and sometimes have trouble on the ground. But
the
wingtip always works! (maybe because I mounted it along the top of the
wing,
then bent it down?) A few months ago I must have been in a funny
geometry -
pointed right at the airport but nose down, 15 or 20 miles out. Tower
couldn't make out my transmission (but other aircraft said they could).
Switched to #2 (wingtip) and tower said loud and clear. After a turn,
belly
whip worked again, too.
But in general, belly whip is a little better, maybe 20% more usable
range.
For me, that is good enough for a backup. Plus saving $150 and gaining a
half knot! -:)

My Archer Comm in the wingtip works great. I mounted it as far away from the foil
as I could (sort of) and I had already pulled the wires through the Van's conduit
for everything else. So, I just left it at that. Absolutely no problems.
As far as the landing light, I replaced the Van's bulb with an LED that uses the
same volts/amps/etc that looks just like it from Batteries Plus for $28 each.
They have a very low draw, wig-wag great, and should last (unlike the Van's
bulbs). They seem to put out enough light, but I haven't been out in the dark,
yet. I figure my nose light will compensate, and besides, I was carrier Navy
- we didn't even have landing lights. Using the taxi light on deck was punishable
by the lash....

I didn't prime, except for where it was called for - or needed. I kept a rattle
can of "self etching primer" handy, and used a cardboard box outdoors to hit
it (wear a mask). Ask for it at any paint or auto store.
I also kept a spray can of T9 Boeshield handy - as Kelly suggested. Great product.

"I'm not quite understanding the detail you describe about the instalation of your

I do have a photo but don't know how to post it! Let me describe it a little better.
First of all, I didn't buy the Archer com; I cloned (copied) the VOR antenna (which
I did buy). I made the antenna 10% shorter to better center the frequency
in the com frequencies. I also made the coax connections inverted, so I could
make connections on the bottom side.
The ground side of the antenna is under the rivets that hold the wingtip nutplates
on the TOP side of the wing. The leading edge of the antenna is about half
way back from the front of the wing, where the wingtip is the thickest. With
the ground side of the antenna held by rivets (or clecos), I then bent the entire
remaining part of the antenna downward until the long arm of the antenna hit
the bottom of the wingtip. A few pieces of fiberglass/epoxy hold this in place.
The idea is to get the part of the antenna that has the highest current (the
part near the ground connection) as vertical as possible. I went top to bottom
rather than bottom to top because I thought that gave me a little more vertical
throw, due to the fact that the tip is not symmetric top/bottom.
If that's not clear let me know, and I'll figure out how to post a figure.

Sorry if this is silly but after 30 years in the industry I've become jaded about
paperwork.
For the purposes of paperwork, would/should a paintshop be listed as "commercial
assistance"?

No.
Paint is not considered part of the build. Many of us have/will obtain
airworthiness certificates with no paint at all.
Also keep in mind that the RV-10 is approved as meeting the 51%
requirement, even with quick build as long as you don't go hire someone
to build it for you.
There are some folks that may cross that threshold, but I have watch
your build from quite a long time ago, and I can vouch for your doing
the work.

No. The plane is not required to be painted. That is also not on the checklist,
if I'm not mistaken.

I agree with Jesse, but FSDO had me list painting as commercial assistance on the

If FAA will issue an airworthiness certificate without any particular task
being complete, then that task shouldn't be counted against 51%. So no,
painting shouldn't be listed as commercial assistance when you fill out
8130-12.
Bob, of course you pick your battles but if listing paint as commercial
assistance caused any hardship, it'd be worth arguing. I hope it didn't
matter much for you.
