I didn’t get much done today but I got something. I bolted the control column to the elevator mid push tube assembly and got the safety wire in place. I then measured the control sticks to make sure they were equal distance. I adjusted it a bit as it was Read more
Vans gave me an answer that I would need to massage it. Apparently these parts have issues as I’ve seen some on the Facebook RV-10 group all the way back to 2021. So I shaved the amount of material necessary off the rear portion of the control stick base and Read more
I got everything put together today. I also got my Aerosport seat levers today so I installed them as well. I just need to figure out how to attach the seat foam to the seat. I’m going to guess it will be some velcro but I just want to make Read more
Most of my time tonight was searching for all the hardware as I had not put these bags of hardware into their own bins since I was out of space and I knew they were all specific to the front seats. But I got it all sorted out and got Read more

I finished the last two lines of the fuel system this morning. The one that took the longest was the short one. Those are seriously the hardest ones to make because there is no room for error, and trying to measure the distance between offsetting lines is difficult because you Read more
The auxiliary fuel pump, filter, and transducer have arrived. I need to get bolts now for the transducer but I used some extra long bolts to at least hold it in place for now while I do fuel lines. Trying to make small fuel lines out of hard lines is Read more
I exercised the system today and got the rod end bearing adjusted as best I could. I’ve never found a good way to accurately measure the middle of a bolt hole on two ends. There must be some tool that allows you to do that or some process but I’ll Read more
