I used the Vans tape and have not had any issues in the last 5 years. Put the tape in the underside of the wing skin after paint. As the others have said you will want the tight seal in reflex to re ...

One foreflight subscription works for both devices.

Just spend 12 hours with foreflight in the RV-10. The can not connect only showed up when it had a intermittent cell signal at 8K. At 10K it did not have the popup. Other than the pop up, what a gre ...

yes, I used cabosil to thicken the weld-on. I mixed it to the consistency of peanut butter. I did not have any sagging issues.

I double masked the windows and peeled the top layer just as the wel ...

Final assembly in 2 -3 weeks.

I did not do any assembly / deburring in the house, but the parts storage was in many rooms. You must not have been as insightful on the purchase of the house. My real estate agent did not know how ...
