Ive always heard that linseed oil does a good job protecting metal from rusting
when put on properly, that is wiping off the excess . Dousing a rag and pushing
and pulling it through the pushrod worked well for me .

Guys: I used the extra lock that comes with the kit to make a keyed
lock for the left door. It basically turns the bolt (like the baggage
door) so that the end of the bolt is in line with the top geared slide
bar in the door latch preventing the top geared bar from moving forward
letting the door locking tubes release the door. You can find the
details of how I mounted the lock in Matronics archives or Vans Airforce
archives as I have listed the instructions on each web site. You can
also make a very simple slide in the handle of the right door which
prevents one from pushing the door handle button in from the out side so
the handle can not be turned. This too is in both archives. If you
can't find them, send me a self addressed envelope and I will send you
copies of the instructions and drawings of how to do it. The left door
lock will not mess up the paint if you have it painted already. Carroll

| Subject: | Ice prevention on fuel vent |
Hi everyone.
I'm about to do my first annual on the RV-10 and during the past year of flying,
I've come up with a few slight changes/improvements I'm thinking of doing while
I'm at it.
One thing I'm wondering about is the potential for icing on the fuel air vent.
Not that I have any intention whatsoever of ever coming close to known icing
conditions, but it's those unexpected conditions that sometimes get you. Van's
suggests (and I implemented) the alternate air door in the air box for that
reason. But in looking closely at the two fuel vents, it seems that they would
be very prone to ice buildup if ever in conditions conducive to it.. and especially
since the vent 45 cut is angled forwards into the airstream. It seems
to me that if those vents were to plug with even a small amount of ice, the clock
would start ticking down quickly to fuel starvation. And I could see ice
building plugging up those vents far before it would the air filter.
I've heard/read of a few things people have done to their fuel vents to mitigate
this - a check valve in the wing root that opens if a bit of suction appears
in the vent, a small "bypass hole" drilled in the vent line on the trailing edge
of the line or possibly in the wing root, or a little "shroud" in front of
the vent line externally to have ice build up on that instead of the vent. I'm
here to see if anyone has opinions on what might be the best way to deal with
this (or if I'm worrying about nothing).
I do have to wonder exactly why the vent is external to the wing root in the first
place - if it were in the wing root, it would be mostly protected from ice
buildup, and surely enough air would get into the root area through the various
cracks around the fairings. Though I suspect that the positive pressure it
sees external to the wing oriented as it is does help with fuel flow..
Suggestions?

If you put the vent in the wing root, then after you top off the tank and park
in the sun, the gas will expand - and pour gas into the wing root, if thats where
the vent is.
I used Tim Olsens method - check valve to aux vent in the wing root, only opens
if theres negative pressure.
