I agree with Bill, you need something like 20-25 lbs of breakout force on the nut and belleville washers. It states the correct number in the Vans' plans.

I also agree with Kelly, I haven't had an ...

One more thing to check.

Have two of you try to change the pitch with your hands manually. This is easily accomplished with two people. Make sure the prop moves full range to the stops. If you c ...

I get mine from here. I fly to Mexico every other year and just put these on. They work great.

Me plus two. Looking forward to it!

I always left mine without tension. I just replaced mine for a crack in the same area. 4 years old.

Nice work Phil!

Delrin is an amazing material in my opinion. I really don't think mine will ever wear out. I bet I did the swap more than 350 hours ago and mine feels EXACTLY the same as it did a ...

Dave, I am reluctant to make these for control surfaces for other builders. I think each one would have to be specifically made for each aircraft after reaming the hole.

Phil,

I made mine on a lathe. I reamed my tubing first since Vans' welds make the tubing out of round. I have adjustable reamers so I reamed just enough to make it round. I measured the ID and m ...

I found the slop in mine too. I threw away the original bushings and made some out of Delrin. They are silky smooth now with no play.

Registered. Thanks Kelly!

My website is updated to show the wingtip mount and the tie down mount sold separately or together.

I have some mounts for sale at PlaneAround that screw into any tie down ring on RV's. It has worked well for under the tail or wings and filming video. I recently made another mount which uses the t ...

Rick,
Personally I would wait until the halves are together before drilling the hinges. They change a lot during the process and the other skin will affect them.

Not sure if it has been brought up already but I have an MT -3 governor on a wide deck IO-540-N1A5 and it works fine with full RPM range.

I do the same thing Geoff mentioned. I did this in Mexico and Bahamas.
Takes just as long to take them off as a lock would take.

My RV-10 is on the fwd CG when I'm alone. This makes steeper approaches a
little more tricky than other planes I have flown. If I carry weight in the
