RV-10 OSH Dinner Update …ewumnrr
The tickets will go on sale this Friday, June 7th, at 5 pm Central. I still hope to get the price down through more sponsors, it's currently standing at $33.50 + Eventbrite fees and taxes for adults, $23.50 + fees/taxes for under 18.

PSA: Ensure fuel filtering between tanks and Red Cube fuel flow transducer
…update
A bit of an update: after flying for ~3 hours with the filters, I inspected the screens and found one more piece of proseal in there, not quite as spherical but similar in shape - looks like it came off of a rivet head. So now there have been 2 of these that have broken loose within a relatively short time period, and I'm wondering if this is indicative of some kind of issue with the tank sealing? I tried draining the fuel and sticking a boroscope in the tanks, but couldn't observe anything that looked obviously out of place, and I'm unsure whether this merits a more thorough investigation / actions (and what is there to do, beyond pulling the tanks and re-sealing)

Edge distance on F808 and F809 bulkhead tabs
I’m having an issue with the small tabs on the bulkheads that are drilled in association with the F824 side skins and F887 upper longerons. I’m really struggling for edge distance when Mach drilling using the holes in the side skins. The bulkheads are clecoed down and all the prepunched holes...

Hand controlled rudder and brakes for RV10
Having just purchased a 'built' RV10, and as a wheelchair pilot of over 30yrs, I am about to embark on designing, getting approved and installing a hand control system for the rudder and brakes. To avoid re-inventing the wheel, I thought it wise to ask if anybody on here has already done...

PSA: Ensure fuel filtering between tanks and Red Cube fuel flow transducer
Hi folks, I experienced a complete engine failure in my RV7 a few weeks ago, due to fuel system obstruction, and figured I'd share the experience with the community in case it helps prevents similar incidents. Luckily, the failure happened on downwind, so I was able to deadstick it to the...

Alternator Bracket RV6 O320D1A
One attachment lug has separated on the bracket that holds the alternator, so I'm in need of a new bracket. Here's what it looks like installed and what mine looks like now. The overall length is 6 and 3/8 inches. Can anyone point me to where I can get of these?
