Vans RV 10 build update - I have been trying to decide if I go with the FlyLed works kit which has the position, nav, landing, and taxi lights all in the wingtip. I have seen a number of reviews where people complain about dark areas directly Infront of the nose wheel as the angle of the wing tips cause the lights to be faced more directly forward. So i decided to purchase the wing lens kit fro...

Vans RV 10 build update - In this video I work on the fairings for the attachment point between the vertical / horizontal stabilizers and the rudder fairing with the FlyLed tail marker light. Vans suggested using a light to do the match drilling, I opted for my strap duplicator that allows me to duplicate the holes... not sure if this is better or worst but it seemed to work better for me. You ...

Vans RV 10 build update - Its been a while ( I have lacked some motivation / and also very busy traveling & Training) this is a minor update to complete the elevator stop fix to ensure that the elevator is not able to go beyond the stop. If this was to happen it could lock the elevator in an up position. I also learned it is a REALLY good idea to check for updates to the plans... it could save ...

Vans RV 10 build update - This is more minor trimming but actually attaching the doors to the hinges and the hinges to the main fuselage. Finally a working door. The instructions for attaching the hinges to the fuselage seemed wrong to me (I might have not read them correctly) . Based on the instructions one door would have the hinges slopped one way and the other the opposite. Ultimately I det...

Vans RV 10 build update - This is the initial Trim of the doors (Which I have put off for a long time deciding the best way to do the cutting). Ultimately I ended up doing the initial Trimming with my Dremel Tool with a cutoff wheel. Then I fitted them to the openings and started sanding them to fit, or this I mainly used a 12" hand sander and my drill with a round sanding bit for cutting back ...

Vans RV 10 build update - A bit of a catch up in moving the build to a hanger, just a quick update on moving the build to the hanger and creating the holder for the wings. For the wings cradle I used the Wing cradle design from mouser which can be found at mouser.org/projects/rv-10/wingassembly.html. The build is very simple (he has all the dimensions) so I did not show me creating it but did s...
