Does anyone have pictures of their RV10 SJ mainwheel pant installation?
I am getting ready to start instaling a set of SJ RV10 mainwheel pants on my oversize RV6A mains. I have the RV6 wheelpant hardware and want to be sure that the RV10 hardware is not more appropriate.
I would also like to see the stock RV10 wheelpant installation dosumentation - if someone is willing (or already has) to scan it for me.
Thanks,
Ralph

I'm sure the Deems does. If he doesn't have a picture, nobody does. Let me know if you need the url.

I am not aware of any 10 yet featuring the James Wheel Pant Mod. I would be surprised if Deems or Robin went that route. Let us all know what you find. Barnaby Wainfan of Kitplanes Mag, did a presentation at OSH '08 on how poor the massive, bulbous style is for drag reduction. I was even more enlightened that the leg fairings can create so much loss of speed - I thought they were okay. There was an interesting post that was never resolved (in the archives) on the need for additional rudder trim as a result of the nose fairing trailing edges resting canted off the longitudinal axis in flight.
Deems site is a great documentary on the Stock VANS wheel pant install. Good Luck with the performance improvement.

Robin went with the standard wheel pants all around. We did modify the nose wheel pant intersection after seeing someone else's design at OSH. I have never liked the “fish hook” on my 6A. Didn’t have to worry about it on my -4.

We're installing both the James wheel pants, and one of my partners is a fiberglass guru...so we'll see how he does on those. We're also doing a different style of rudder trim, more like what the Lancair uses, in fact, it was built by one of my partners who's built Lancairs (I only helped him with some metal bends). As soon as it's finished (almost!!), I'll see if I'm smart enough to post pics here. It uses a cut out section of the original rudder (with the extrusion in it), that is then reinforced with a Z piece and some other pieces sandwiched together with an extruded hinge section. It definitely looks spiffy, but it has not been for the faint of sheet metal talent. There have been lots of hours involved...and helping a lot was to have a complete working model of the Lancair rudder trim system on the desk while we were building this.
