I have the heavy duty struts purchased through Van's. Since I've purchased mine,
there are places you can purchase them for less cost. However, since I already
had mine, I've kept up with those places.

Further back in archives Nov.24, 2015 part of a lengthy thread:
I recently bought replacement struts from Bansbach as well. The
original Vans struts still worked but one door started coming down if
the wind hit it wrong. I have a flush latch, aftermarket center cam,
lock, upholstery, etc - not light.
On 3/9/15 I purchased (2) A1A1F50-100-287/600N 10017y1 struts for
$51.89 plus $19.27 S&H.
They installed easily (i.e. throw seemed to exactly fit what was needed
- no compression required.
They now work just right in all respects.
Just another data point.

In my -9A, the seats backs have a similar tab, also with a bend tip, but tha
t tab has a clear function, which is to fit in a female slit and hold the se

But in the -10 there is no slit where this tab goes in, i. e, the tab is fre

r it.

Thank you Greg (in Western Australia)
for your explanations
I agree with your last assumption (that its probably a lazy continued design from
the 2-seat models).
But to secure the seat cover, it would suffice the upper structural angle, it would
not be necessary this thin aluminium sheet tab... I would say

by self adhesive valcro. Gives a nice finished look to the seat back cause
it carries the fabric or whatever right over the back and out of sight. Also
on the RV6 and maybe others there was a strip the slot would fit into and stop
the seat backs flopping forward, most builders ( that I know) not saying its
the right thing to do, didnt fit that strip cause sometimes its handy to be able
to pull the seat back forward a bit to gain access to the baggage compartment.
Probably the seat back design has continued cause its just a standard part
interchangable through the models . Cheers from Western Australia

Carlos, I've never inspected a -9 that closely, but in the -6 models, the
tab that fits into either of a pair of slots on the seat back cross-brace
is attached to the seat back by hinge material several inches below the top
of the seat, and is used to set the seat back recline angle. The fold at
the top of the seat back serves no apparent purpose. Velcro could be
attached to the angle stock about as readily as to the bent flange we're
talking about. And if you sew an inverted pocket into the top of the seat
back cushion, there'd be no need for Velcro attachment to hold it.
I'd say cut it off if you wish. I might very well do the same except I
don't want to complicate life for Abby or whoever supplies my upholstery
one day.

| Subject: | Engine Cylinders Question |
I purchased a used Lycoming IO-540-C4B5 narrow deck engine used from a
Piper Aztec that was being parted out for use on my RV-10.
It had 982 hours on it and had chrome cylinders. Early on in my flight
testing I replaced five of the six cylinders with new cylinders.
So now I have five chrome cylinders in the hanger and am wondering what to
do with them. I think they may have value for being overhauled? Any ideas
on what or where I should look for getting them out of the hanger?
On a separate note, I also have a set of the larger hole engine mounts for
this engine as well. Don't need them at this point either. What to do
with them?

With a little ingenuity you could make lamps out of them.
Chromed cylinders had enough hours of operation to not meet standard
dimensions. Then they were chromed back to standard.
So they have several thousand hours on them, and the head and cylinder have
been demated at least once. While this was standard practice 30 years ago,
it has been at least 20 years since chroming was common, especially after
Superior and ECI got PMA for new cylinders, which forced Lycoming to
compete on price.
I would not be interested in a chrome cylinder, unless I needed it to ferry
a broken engine from Timbuckerootwo to where parts were available.
A friend had chrome cylinders on IO-360 in RV-8 that the chrome started
flaking off, and CHT went very quickly to 500. His 50 hour since overhaul
engine is getting a fresh teardown.

Hi
I insulated under my front floor pans using fire break foam. I am considering doing
the same think under the rear floor pans for insulation / sound proofing
purposes.
I am wondering what others have done in this spot. Is there any real benefit to
insulating / soundproofing here?
Inquiring minds need to know.

Why do you think that is, Bob? I plan on upgrading to the Matco
wheel/brake assy's from the get-go for more stopping power here on the
2100' grass strip. Berringers seem too pricey and I'm not sure how I feel
about the tubelessness and possible repairs in the field. Concerned to
hear the pad wear is not up to expectations.

No measured benefit, but I did it because I had the foam.

Unless that grass is really dry, you aren't going to get much braking on
it, regardless of which brakes you have.

I=92m trying to locate another source of the pads. The ones I got from Mat
co are wearing way too quickly. I may give Rapco a call and see if they h
ave an offering.
