Is everyone using the 470 rivets on the side flanges of the back floor pans? The front ones use pop rivets, why the solid ones for the back? Is there a strength issue I’m not thinking about? ...

I'm getting ready to run conduit through the baqggage area and acquired the same stuff Tim Olsen is using. It looks great, lots of room, and should do the job. The concern I have is how large this i ...

A relative sent this to me……don’t know if it’s true, but fun to try. Can’t get beyond 18 seconds on this myself. Hopefully that’s good enough to be an RV-10 pilot. ...

Thanks to all that offered advice on the small tear I have on a rib in the baggage area. I contacted Van’s and got the following response:

Sean, found your email.

No problem le ...

I started putting the wheels together today. It appears the bearings have been pre-greased and are ready to go. Does everyone agree, or did you have to use more grease? If so….recommendations ...

While installing one of the side-steps, I got a little too aggressive and
managed to produce a small tear from the upper relief downward about 5/8 of

Thanks, Larry.

I'm talking about crawling around in there to make the connections to the
static lines, wiring, cables, etc. Seems like it would be a bad thing after
the connection of the fuselage and the tailcone ...

I'm very near joining the tailcone to the fuselage. Should I take care of these areas now before the two sections are joined? I'm concerned about weight being in the tailcone once it's attached. Ho ...

Hi Dave,

I'm well into my construction process and have used the AFS white primer the whole time. My impression of it is good so far. It's very easy to work with and the water based composition i ...

Hey Tim,

Thanks for the direction.

You are absolutely correct. Enjoying flight and all that goes with it is a
major reason for the build. The people that surround it, the unbelievable
scener ...

I just had the opportunity to take a terrific ride in an AT-6 Texan this last weekend. Complete with all the aerobatics I cared to enjoy. What a blast!!! We got the G reading to just under 4. The s ...

Add me to the list too, please.

Understood, John, but shouldn't I use Proseal at the access point between the firewall and the skins? I don't plan to rivet until the hinges are installed and don't see how I would get Proseal betwee ...

Okay…..another one. I plan to install LED position lighting. Any recommendations? I’ll be using a 12 volt system.

Is there a 12 volt LED strobe available? I see Whelen has one, ...

I’m getting ready to attach the front fuselage skins and was wondering if I should use Proseal at the firewall like I did on the bottom skin.

Thanks,

Hello all,

I am one of those rare people you might consider crazy that is building a plane and learning to fly at the same time. Don't worry...I'll get my time and transition training in well bef ...
