| Subject: | Fuel valve plate |
Looking to get and mount Vans fuel valve plate but it says not for the Rv10. I
thought I've seen others use that so wondering what's up with that?

I did find a thread regarding not fitting the newer style Vans valve but I have
the older valve apparently with aerosport console so not sure about dimensions
of the plate--anyone have photos of similar install or info?

I have used it before. I think I had to drill out the center hole a little bigger
than it comes.

I completed the SB in a little over an hour today add another 20
=9330 minutes for cowling removal and reinstall). 2 years and over
100 landings and everything looked really good and clean. I weighed the
tail down, pulled off the strut and inserted the doubler plate. I ended
up using the same 2 spacers with the doubler as I didn=99t like
the slight resistance I felt with only 1 spacer.
I rarely do landings without holding the front up as long as possible,
only a few rough runways, although lots of rough taxiways, including
turf.

Correction below to number of TOs and Landings (=>172)

Details:
Serial: 40605
Total Hours: 504
Weight: 1684 lbs
Empty CG: 107.29
Nose Wheel Mount Status: Cracked at 3rd Condition Inspection. 4
donuts installed since first flight. There was play in link assembly
when weight is removed from nosewheel
Misc: Front wheel was found cracked at 2nd Condition Inspection (336
hours), replaced with WHLNW511.25. Link assembly not removed for
inspection.
Original main tires and brakes.
Rough field Operations:
At least 172 Takeoffs and 172 Landings on 8NC8
Avg Est Takeoff weight = 2450lbs 110.4" aft of datum
Avg Est Landing weight = 2330lbs 110.5" aft of datum
Notes:
No rough landings and no nosewheel-first strikes.
90%+ taxi operations on 8NC8 performed with stick full back
On landings while balanced on mains, bumps would cause nose wheel to
fall slowly and make ground contact once or twice during rollout before
settling to ground with full back stick.
Occasionally on takeoffs, the nose wheel would strike a bump while
being lifted off.

(I'll try to attach one picture to this post but not sure it will
display)

Cracks in Elastomer Plate

I just did the SB inspection and my plate is cracked. I just called
in an order for the cracked kit.
I was hoping for the best but expected the worse since I base on a
'rough' grass strip. How rough? One of my neighbors completed an RV7
and refused to base it here due to the roughness preferring to keep it
at an airport 20mins away (he has since moved).
Details to follow.
