Default Rapco linings

I don't see Vans aircraft tires.com listing brake pads for the RV-10. I sent them a message asking if they carry them but just wandering where the RV-10 guy's get their linings now?
Thanks Ron

Rapco is apparently not making them anymore.
I bought Cleveland pads ($19/pad) ($80 for a full set! And it did not include the rivets!! from Chief in Oregon).

When the Rapco pads were available they were just slightly cheaper. Little wonder they didn't sell many, they were over-priced compared to most pads.

Default Rapco linings

When I bought my set it was $16 a pad with rivets and free shipping. Seems like a deal compared to $19 with no rivets and shipping fees.. Maybe it's just me?

What I was alluding to was that even at $16 they're more than twice as expensive as the Rapco pads for the other RV's.

That's because they are not used on many planes, unlike the pads for the two-seaters.

If you have an RV-10 you probably should have a spare set with you, they will not be in stock at most airports or A&P cabinets...

We found this out when I had to rescue one of the first built RV-10s at Sierra Vista.

Default brake pads

I found some of the 66-11200 I purchased that have the wear indicators I can sell for 13.50 each if anyone is looking for some spares. I may even have some rivets I can throw into the mix. PM me if anyone is interested.
