| Subject: | Fatal RV-10 accident |
I would think that 30ft AGL wouldn=99t result in a loss of the
Aircraft if it was a controlled or semi controlled descent.
Anyway it is very sad and sobering to read about a fellow builder
passing. Let us learn from the incident and say Vale=99 Bruce
Stamper.

That's what I heard secondhand too. "Fly the airplane" sounds like the
primary thing that was not done.
Additionally it doesn't sound like the door was latched all the
way....with the handle still pointing up. But this is all second info
hand for me. I have no knowledge of it directly.

Read about it the they day. From what I've collected.
It was in Phase 1, about 4 hrs in.
On departure a door opened and the pilot was seen wrestling with the
door during the takeoff roll, rotation, and climb out.
I think I recall a pilot witness saying it got to around 30 AGL before
it descended back into the ground.

| Subject: | Fuel Valve Mounting Bracket |
My quick build fuselage came with the mounting bracket F1048C-1
installed facing down. There was a tag attached saying that it should
be reinstalled face up (the U facing up). They also sent me a new
bracket in case I messed up the installed one removing it. I am now in
the process of installing the fuel valve, an Andair unit. I have made a
mounting plate to rivet to the F1048C-1 so that mounting holes will
match the Andair valve. I am ready to flip the mounting bracket but
find the flush rivets on the aft end of the bracket are 1/4 inch from
the vertical panel of the seat mounting structure. I do not have a
drill that will fit in that close of an area and my rivet gun is too
wide to drive a rivet in that space. How have others made this change?

I cut the sides off the bracket and riveted two pieces of angle aluminum to
get the width I need, got the Andair extension, mounted valve as low as
possible, then cut the extension to required length. I did not want the
valve up near the top of the tunnel, as that creates potential for vapor or
air lock. I got the right angle fitting from Van's catalog to make the
connection at the bottom of the valve.
