Cracked Vetterman Exhaust Update
…Poindexter Follow up:
Clint sent me an email today that he would build a new section for a replacement, which I fully support. He's at Oshkosh, so is busy this week. Awesome that he followed up.
However, yesterday (before the Clint email), I had my annual and we had a muffler shop weld those pieces together. Turned out well, but not sure about the long-term durability, so looking forward to replacing it with the new Vetterman one.
Tim, attached is the installation instructions from Clint, 10 years ago. I did not build the plane, but found this in my files that the original builder installed. Agree with your comments.
It is also important to note (the rest of the story), that I do fly aerobatics and land on grass strips, plus put 200 hrs on the plane every year. So, not shocked that this happened.

RV-10 Bottom Cowl Mod
Split Bottom Cowl Mod
... discussed in another thread, and drifting from OP's topic, so I split it off here into its own dedicated thread. Looks neat! (Scott M.). The top cowl removes in the conventional manner. The bottom cowl has been split into two pieces to simplify its removal with the three blade prop.

Oil Pressure jumping around
Oil Pressure jumping around
I am assuming this is an indication issue, but has anyone seen anything like this and it really was the actual engine oil pressure jumping around? I've always had some jumpiness but it seems like it's increasing. From time to time it's solid. Replacing the sensor is on the list of things to...
