It is possible Just awkward because you are working upside down. One person said if was very easy. Never heard from the other FWIW Geoff Geoff Combs Aerosport Modeling & Design 8090 Howe Industrial Parkway Canal, Winchester, Ohio 43110 614-834-5227 From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Phillip Perry Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2017 11:55 AM Subject: RV10-List: Overhead Air Retro Fit We are thinking about installing the overhead air panel on an existing RV-10 here on the field. Has anyone retrofitted the panel on an flying airframe? I installed mine when my cabin top was off. But I'm curious what your experience was on the retro fit and issues you encountered? Phil ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:56:40 AM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: Overhead Air Retro Fit From: Tim Olson It may be more do-able if you purchase an inverted fuel and oil system for your RV-10. That way you can get a helper or two and do it in-flight. If you can hold it inverted long enough for the quick set epoxy, it wouldn't be such a tough job.
