Dave, I don't know the answers to your questions, as you are ahead of me, but I also have a McCaulley governor, and had assumed it will work. Hopefully someone can confirm this for us.

Received the finish kit today and just finished the inventory. Can't completely understand where the 14G went, but they are all parts needed to fly.

I just found out that Whirlwind has developed a two blade prop for the RV-10. Below is a quote from an email exchange with Whirlwind:

The RV-10 is 79" in diameter and the system weight is 43#. ...

Well, this is one of those "making decisions when working late at night and then waking up the next morning and feeling bad about it" situations. I ran Van's 3/4" conduit under the bagg ...

Bill, I think you will find that when you run a #27 or 28 drill through the doublers that they are already punched to final size. So you can just deburr and dimple.

I installed my access covers last night, and they look just like the ones in the photos above. Only difference is that I put a bit of a joggle in the doubler where it runs under the rib, but perhaps t ...

Mike, did you trim the edge of the doubler adjacent to the outer floor rib, or did you run the doubler between rib and floor?

I worried about those rivets and put them off for a while, as well as the rivets around the rear spar attach. Turned out though that my Avery swivel flush set worked fine. I pushed the rubber guard up ...

Ron and John, you got it. I thought the firewall was flat. If I allow the upper firewall to bend forward, it fits fine. Duh.

Thanks, -A

Weird thing happened this evening. I'm assembling and fitting the subpanel and fwd fuse ribs. Everything has been going together very nicely and I'm feeling good. Put the 7 deg bend in the subpanel, m ...

I hope you at least have the venison in the freezer, offsetting to a small extent the cost of repairs!

Bringing this old thread back to life in order to document my saga and solution. First time around drilling the firewall brackets, I ended up with insufficient edge distance on the upper flange of the ...

To add another data point for those planning their schedules, I received my fuselage kit in mid-march after a 15 week wait.

Albert, if you are on a budget, the General Store in Yellow Pine has rooms for rent.

Eric, I recently attached my leading edges and had the same problem on one wing. If the rivet is squeezed sufficiently (over squeezed) it won't interfere. I didn't discover the problem, of course, t ...

If only my mistakes were so minor. Very Happy

Think of the ribs as those that face inward and those that face outward. Same for both wings.

Quick question here: I've finished match drilling top wing skins to the ribs, time to countersink the area associated with the doublers. The instructions seem to suggest that it is the top skin that i ...

Another alternative - this cellulose based structural filler is new on the market, promises to be easier on tools and our lungs.

Well Albert, you got me to thinking - it is true that chilling your ice below 0 C will give you a little more cooling, but just a little more, because it takes to much more heat to melt a given quanti ...

I'm hoping those of you more expert than I in the issues involved with using lycomings closely related to the recommended models can enlighten me here. I'm looking at a O-540 A2B. From what I can dig ...
