I joined this list a couple of weeks ago and haven't seen any activity, so I hope there are a few Canadians out there reading it. In any case, I've recently joined the ranks of those constructing an RV-10 (actually, I haven't quite started yet as 'm still waiting for my tail/empennage kit to arrive - it's at the border waiting to clear customs). But I'm interested in learning more about the sorts of construction requirements that are different from those in the US. For example, I recently learned that parts riveted or attached together have to be primed on their mating surfaces. And I kind of learned that by accident - I shudder to think of what would have happened if I had riveted everything for a preclosure inspection and then found out - pretty much everything would have had to been disassembled to prime between the surfaces that are already attached. Does anyone know of an online (or other) resource for these sorts of things I should know before really getting going? I couldn't find these sorts of specific details in the CARs unless I was looking in the wrong place.. Thanks!

Be very wary of much of the advice or information you hear/read and if it is being offered by an authority figure they should be able to provide a reference. Transport and RAA inspectors are not always correct or current and may be offering opinions that they think are valid, however the regulations are constantly changing. Refer to current regulations or references (Vans, FAA etc.) when in doubt. At the present time I am not aware of any general requirement to prime all attached parts. All depends on what it is, there are many parts that should be primed.

Build it as per Van's recommendations and there will be no major issues to worry about. The RAAC manual for homebuilders will be a good guide for the Canadian regulations to get your project approved. Priming is always a good idea and to what extent depends on your taste buds :) Michel RV8117 550 hrs London Ont. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rvcanada-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rvcanada-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Dan Charrois Subject: RVCanada-List: Canadian construction regulations --> RVCanada-List message posted by: Dan Charrois Hi everyone.

You HAVE filed your letter with MD/RA, right? Also, the community of RV builders is invaluable. "Hangar flying" with other RV builders is not only fun, but is also an invaluable source of information and tips on how to build your airplane. If you're near any major city in Canada there are bound to be many RV builders nearby. Even in the smaller communities you may find a builder not far away, or at least someone you can talk to by email or phone who'll be happy to share his experience with you. It's one of the biggest advantages of building an RV. If you're anywhere west of the Ontario-Manitoba border, contact me off-list and I can probably put you in touch with a builder not far away, if you're interested.
