Been to all three - great places to see. For FFA go for the experience. From there fly to MQI for the food. After that on to W95 (Ocracoke Island) to say a couple of days. I called the Castle B&B and made arrangements for them to pick us up after the airplane was tied down. They were happy to do it http://www.thecastlebb.com/Ocracoke/ We stayed at the Castle three days - and highly recommend it. No need for rental cars and Ocracoke is not a tourist trap. Plenty of nice mom and pop places to eat and things to do within easy walking distance.

Was looking all over for some baffling hardware, like the two spark plug access hole covers, and finally found these 3 or 4 bags that were not listed anywhere that I can see. About the time I began on the fuselage, I stopped emptying all the bags of parts into labeled drawers and found it was generally easier to take the part number in the plans, find it on the inventory and go to the numbered bag. One of these days, I think would be a good project to take and combine the hardware inventory lists into a complete, single spreadsheet of parts by bag number, that was searchable by computer, to speed things up for future builders. Just as soon as I find the round tuit. ;-) Kelly ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:41:34 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: Dumb hardware inventory question From: Bruce Hoppe I scanned all my inventory lists into one searchable PDF file in Evernote. I left everything grouped with one bag per drawer in several plastic hardware cabinets. If I do not find something immediately, then I search for the pa rt on my iPad. I can then find the bag/drawer number.Works well. With a se archable PDF, you do not need a spreadsheet. It only took a couple of minut es to setup. Some common hardware items, such as bolts, nuts, nut plates, e tc might be easier to find in separate drawers.

I measured the RG-400 antenna cable and found on the antenna side that on the female BNC connector the shield and the center pin are somehow connected, which shouldn't be the case. The weird thing however is, that if I measure the cable from the other side the shield and the center pin are not connected?! I tested this several times and measured connectivity of the shields on both sides which is positiv. Does anyone have an idea what's going on?

If it's connected to the radio, it will show a dead short when checked from the other end.

I agree, acrobat searchable is just as good as spreadsheet. Would you consider sharing your document?
