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. John MacCallum VH-DUU RV 10 # 41016 From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Tim Olson Sent: Sunday, 20 November 2016 11:32 AM Subject: Re: RV10-List: Fatal RV-10 accident 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. Tim On Nov 19, 2016, at 6:22 PM, Phillip Perry wrote: 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.

Fritzsche" Subject: RV10-List: 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 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. -sent from the I-droid implanted in my forearm On Mon, Nov 21, 2016 at 10:52 AM, David J.
