The requirement was to be able to paint the entire wing panel in a single session. This eliminates any seams, economizes on paint and simplifies the shoot. And since the stuff is so toxic, I didn't want anyone else in there for the turn unless they had a fresh air supply - I only had one. Opening doors and moving around is not a good thing in a paint booth anyway. So, I found that the lightening holes handily fit PVC pipe. In particular, the second hole back from the leading edge, near the CG, fits one size of pipe quite snugly with no play. In the picture you can see I made collars of the right size pipe and glued those to a smaller size pipe (not sure why in retrospect but I did discover that pipe diameters are not precise batch to batch so the collars would allow a little sanding for fit and ease of insertion). In another (oblong?) hole I used a size of pipe that was close enough and had lots of play. On the other end of the wing I securely mounted a rectangle of plywood for ease of handling and leverage. In the paint booth, I used rope or a strap hanging from the ceiling as a sling for one or both pipes (can't recall the details). For painting, the pipes and the plywood on the other end were laying on sawhorses. When one side was finished, I was able to just grab the plywood and turn the wing over single handed so that it was once again laying on the 2 sawhorses. It all worked surprisingly well and seemed like a cheap/easy solution for a 1 time need.

But, when calibrated thru an EFIS (I have GRT) the floats are surprisingly accurate, except that they cannot see the top 5 gallons. But on top of that nearly eveyone puts in a fuel flow transducer, and their accuracy is amazing. My advice is to just put in the floats, and spend your money somewhere else. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=428716#428716 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 09:02:28 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Stall warning From: "Bob Turner" I did install it. With Lightspeed headsets, I can barely hear it. I greatly prefer the audio AOA warning tone from my D6. However, the Vans' stall horn worked on the first flights; the AOA requires in flight calibration. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=428718#428718 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
