I was thinking about this, and I doubt that the sensitivity of the human eye to different colors of light is very important. If you had two different colors of light, and the sensitivity of the eye ...

Carl,

Thanks for your insights, I feel like I'm at least on the right track. I did think about disconnecting the extension plumbing from the Tee and capping when not in use, I would just have to ...

All,

I would like to build in some fuel plumbing to allow for optional extra capacity, perhaps using tanks like these:

Bill,

Can I ask where you got the battery busses from in this picture?

Thanks . . .

I'm curious where people run their main cable from the battery to the front of the plane. Through the tunnel? That seems like a pain and I would have to drill some holes in the spar carrythrough or ...

I have added the ground power connector with overvoltage protection to my RV-10 build per the instructions at

Hi all,
I'm building an RV-10 and wanted to have a GPU connector for convenience, and used Bob's excellent article to do so:

I just wanted to get back to say thanks to all for their input on this issue. I've pondered this a bit and I'm going to do what Bob did and run a #8 wire for the ground to the panel, and let the airf ...

All,

I have a question/concern regarding a ground return to the battery. I have primed all my parts and skins with the Akzo Nobel 2 part primer, which is awesome stuff though it's a smelly pain ...

I have a question about the fuselage mid side skin dimpling. The instructions say to dimple all of the 3/32" holes that were drilled to the understructure. However, the corresponding holes in t ...

Ed,

What is the insulating material on your firewall? Was that from Aircraft Spruce?

Thanks everyone for all of the feedback and suggestions. I've decided that I will omit these parts, and get the Matco parts and use Desser for the tires/leakguard tubes. I understand this is probab ...

John,

My motivation there is that we are looking to retire out west (eventually) and some of the places we like are at pretty high elevation. A good example is Flagstaff AZ at around 7,000'. T ...

Hi all,

As I am progressing on my fuselage I want to get my finishing kit ordered. I know there had been some issues with axle extensions, wheels etc. and I am looking for advice on what parts ...

I'm finishing up my RV-10 wings and would like to have (most) everything done before I move on. I am contemplating wingtip VOR antenna(s) and wonder if these can also be used for glideslope? I expec ...

Been known to happen. In '07 there was a Lancair Legacy RG that crashed on its maiden flight from Oswego County airport here in Central NY. Two perished, one was the president of the local EAA chapt ...

Hi all,

I am trying to get my wings closed up on my RV-10, but I would like to get all the wiring in first if possible. I haven't decided on an autopilot yet, but I was wondering if the roll se ...

Thanks for all the responses on the dielectric grease question. I guess I will ponder it a bit more, but I probably won't use it on connectors that will be hard to get to in the future or are in a pr ...

Hi All,
I am building an RV-10 and getting to the point where I need to think about electrical components and systems. I have a question about crimped connections: Is it a good (or bad) idea to pu ...

Here is an excellent tribute to Joseph Lucas:
