Also my fuel vent B-nut was leaking on one tank, so i had to remove the sender again. I've heard of that happening to so many people with quickbuilt tanks that I probably wouldn't even proseal in the sender until i put a wrench on that b-nut. First measure the resistance of the sender with the arm up and down to see what the maximum travel is both ways. Insert a loop of a 24 ga tefzel wire through the top hole of the sender and wrap it around the sender arm in a way that when you pull on the wire it will move the arm up until it tops out on the skin of the tank. Put in the sender, thread in all the screws except the top one with the wire. Connect your ohm meter and see if you get close to full travel. The original rubber gasket that comes with the sender ends up leaking over time, so you can skip using that and just use proseal around the sender plate and the screws. You can later remove the proseal with an acrylic scraper from Spruce # 12-03310. Cuts nicely and it doesn't scratch the aluminum rib under the sender plate. Use it as a blade to cut the proseal instead of scraping it. The last time I removed mine I got tired of the proseal and used screws with integrated viton o-rings (mcmaster #90825A387) and a viton gasket (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0075EBPKS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1). No leaks so far for the last 7 months or so. At some dumb moment I forgot to put the last 90 degree bend in the float arm wire, and when I put fuel in the tank the arm twisted in the plastic and dropped to the bottom of the tank measuring zero fuel... luckily i got back some of my self respect when i found out on one of the forums that someone else did the same... Not a lot of fun when on your third flight the fuel in one tank drops to zero.

The mid seat rail supports are bolted into the landing gear mount (after much frustration) but they are half a hole too far forward. Can't move them back because the rear flanges on the mid seat rail supports are right up against the landing gear mount and it would be necessary to elongate the holes in the bottom of the mid seat rail support in any case. Anyone else with this problem? Solutions?

Seems to me that they didn't ask themselves what their mission profile was before they chose the -10. If you want to fly in the flight levels at speeds greater than 200 KTAS, then the -10 is probably not the aircraft for your mission. Why try and make it something it is not? Especially when it could very well cost you your life...
