Talking Anti-Splat Quest for Products

...We are always looking for new products that we can bring to the RV community to enhance the "RV Grin" or experience. In this quest we found something that is needed and many would want if available for their aircraft. We will need to do a few refinements and make mounting kits for the various models, but this looks like a real winner. So you may wish to get your order in early and avoid the inevitable big rush. Let us know what you think. Allan...

Default Wing bolt drift pins

Alan you make great mods and your marketing is outstanding. I haven't bought any of your products yet but I will someday.

A lot of people are still building and this maybe a great idea to manufacture these pins. Years ago Tony Lanaken from Belgium was selling his I saved the picture. Many builders are struggling making their own pins from hardware store bolts some of them are using close tolerance and ruining them. Why don't you use use your superb machinery and laser cut extra alodine some of these?





I am positive there will be strong demand for them especially after you make your famous videos

......Thank you for the kind words I assure you they are appreciated. I will have a look at making these sets. Do all of the models use the same size?...

I think so (not sure)... and I'd buy a set as long as they are small enough to go in and out easily but not be too lose.

Nope - I had to make a different set of pins for the RV-3 - could only use some of the pins I made for my -8.... (there is some overlap).

If you decide to make the wing pins, machine the head down next to the shank for about an eight inch wide, make the new OD about half of the current head diameter.

This will leave a two step head size, and will allow a pry tool to fit in between the head and the spar.

The RV-10 has two different sizes. I don't know if either size is shared with other models.

Isn't tempest's fuel pump ethanol compatible? I believe I talked to them about that last year at oshkosh and they said it was.
