I have a couple questions. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.
1. For the stock VAN’s landing lights, the visible aluminum piece (W-1032) that the light is mounted to and the light shines through, what are people doing with it? Are you painting it with the airplane color paint, polishing it and then clear coating it to keep it bright, or ???
2. I am starting to work with my local engine shop and one question that came up early in the conversation was experimental or certified? I asked him why he asked and he explained the differences in the engine that he was talking about and I can live with them. The pro is saving several thousand $ but he said that some people want certified for insurance reasons. My question is that when you went for insurance on your –10, did they ask about the engine whether it was certified or not and if so what were the differences in premiums and insurability? Was there a difference?
3. I will be ordering my firewall forward kit in the next month and am starting to collect thoughts about substitutions. The alternator is the Deluxe Plain Power 60 A. which I think is fine for my needs. I might sub the oil cooler. There has been some discussion here lately about a replacement cooler but when I have gone to the sites, the replacement model is not that obvious. For those suggesting a substitute, do you have any model numbers? If I do sub, I would like to get the correct one the first time. The other item up for consideration to be substituted are the hoses. Is there anything else that people might suggest modifying the FF Kit?
