Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2007 5:41 pm Post subject: Installing elevators and rudders

I am just finishing up installing my elevators and  rudder and a fellow RV10 builder, Ron Grover, on the field where I'm at,  Prop Wash Justin, TX, gave me a great tip and the loan of his tool that really  made the job much easer. Actually Ron came over and help me install the  elevators. Boy it's really nice to have someone help you that's done something  before you. Ron has a beautiful RV8 he built and is working on his  10.

  

 Anyway the tool that Ron loaned me, see attachment  1-2-07-1, is for inserting temporarily in the attach brackets to hold the  elevator or the rudder in place until you can get the bolt installed. I just put  my hand in the picture as a reference to their size I can't remember off hand  but I think he said he got them at Aircraft Spruce?. I've also attached a photo  of them installed on the rudder if you're able to zoom in a little to see  them.Probably everyone already knows about these tools except me  :>}  I've also attached the finished product 1-2-07-2. It obviously works the same  way on the elevators.

  

 I've now got the elevators and rudder generally  installed I just need to make the final touches.

  

 For what ever it's worth

Wayne - that looks like an air scoop at the base of your vertical stabilizer.  What have you got going on there?

We made similar pins with just a simple 90 degree

bend.  We found ourselves using them often for other

alignments as well.

Hi Jon,

  

 I purchased Accuracy Avionics overhead console for  air and lights and this will be the air intake for the console. I've sent all of  my build photos over to Tony at Accuracy Avionics http://www.accuracyavionics.com/v1/index.html  and  he said he will be posting them on his web site. If he doesn't, if anyone would  like to see what I did, I can gladly forward them some photos. 

  

 We'll see how well it works when I get into the  air. It should work really well, in theory :>}

Wayne, could you please send me your photos as I'm  interested in the forced air from the overhead console.  Did you install  the vertical stabiliser scoop that they sell?
