Some of you may or may not know, I do Transition Training in Van's RV10 (N220RV) that is based at St Mary's airport in Maryland (2W6).

Patrick,

I have a B&C 40 Amp alternator in my RV8 that is 10 years old. Never had a problem with it at all. Bullet proof in my opinion. So much so, I put a 60 amp B&C in the RV10 that ...

Guys,

I built this RV10 (3 years of my blood, sweat, and tears) for my brother. He owns it and needs to sell it. It hurts me just to write this. Kit # is 40512. If you are looking for a very ...

Aaron,

220RV will be flown to SNF by pilots from Vans. While there, the RV10 will only be used for demo rides, not transition training. Sorry.

It should be back in Maryland a few days after SNF ...

Don,

Not sure how far it is from the college to the airport. But I do know that Patuxent Naval Airbase is close by. If anyone is prior military, they could probably use the Q's for a room overn ...

Fellow RV10 builders.....

If you are in need of RV10 Transition Training on the East Coast, I can help you out. I use Van's Aircraft N220RV that is based at St Mary's airport (2W6) in Maryla ...

[quote="speckter(at)comcast.net"]I disagree that it will take more than metal blocks to solve this. I switched to the metal blocks and have very solid latch on mine. Connect the proximity ...

Robin,

You need to upgrade to the 05 software because it cures many issues. To download this software into your 900X takes about 1 hour. It's not difficult at all as I have done it myself a few ...

[ The knowledgeable technical support is near non-existent.
When you call Garmin they answer with minimal hold times.

I have been flying my RV10 now for a year with the 900X/Sorcerer installed. ...

Guys,

I have a 2007 C-182T Skylane. After about 240 hours on the bird I got an electrical problem. The Skylane has a G1000 in it. After starting the plane and sitting on the ground at idl ...

John,

After you painted the door with Imron, did you bake the paint to help it dry or did you let it air dry?

Zack and/or other S-10 console users, do you know the weight of the console? -Andy

Andy,

I don't know the weight. However, you can "gut" alot of the unneeded stuff out, thus reducin ...

Here's what I did.....

I recently completed a trip with several other RV's to KJGG (Williamsburg). They have a great restaurant on the field, but if you want to spend the night and check out the sites with your wife, I hig ...

Also, while the tank Orings are good, I do get fuel leakage
out of the caps on climbout with real full tanks.

Tim,

That shouldn't happen. ...

CJ,

I bought a 3 port blower fan from Stein. I will use the other ports for the Avionics LRU's and one for the Lightspeed.

Scott,

I don't know if Wayne is/was a fighter pilot, but that is the term we used in combat....i.e. "SPEED IS LIFE!" Gotta have knots to fight at the merge!

However, you are corre ...

CJ,

I put 4 platenuts in instead of the sheet metal screws. It wasn't too hard. The platenuts are pop-riveted in and work great. I put them exactly where the plans dictate. The sheet metal scr ...

If you don't want to use Sika-Flex or Weld-On, try using 3M 2216 Structual Epoxy. I use this stuff everywhere, even on my RV8 that is 7 years old and has over 1100 hours on it.

I installed my Rv ...

Larry,

The door guides were made that way to accommodate every application. Every door to fuselage distance is not the same on every RV10. So, you have to trim the backside of the guides to mak ...
