I have tried several times to get my nose wheel stem to fit, but I
have to remove the cap and even then it is still a close fit.

Pascal,
Thanks for the tip on the new tube. That's the first I'd
heard of the "New Easy Valve". Coincidentally, yesterday
I was emailing with Bob Leffler who showed me his main tube
stem clearance, and also with another RV-10 buddy who had
JUST yesterday, installed those tubes. They both sent
me pictures, which I have used completely without their
permission, to quick get the info out on this link below.

This one is worth all you RV-10 guys checking out. It basically
summarizes the Nosewheel, Front Axle, Nose tube, Main Tube
issues, and gives you links to the places to get the things
that will fix all the issues. I also have pictures of
some of the various situations, from both my plane, and a couple
other RV-10's, so that you can see all the issues fairly
close up.
So it gives you everything you need to arm yourself with a fix
if you're a flying RV-10 builder, and everything you need to
prevent the issues completely if you haven't yet ordered
those parts from your kit. I sure wish all this stuff
had been either known, or available, back in 2005 when
I needed it. You newer builders have no idea how much
less pain you get to go through.... hell, everyone remembers
Randy #006, and his way cool build process....even he just
called me regarding axle extensions because he's broke
a couple of the Van's standard ones so far. You get all
the benefits.
