Been Away For A While

Hi Everyone,

Been away from this site for way too long :-(

I have been working on my RV-10 and have added products to my line offered through Cleaveland Aircraft Tools. I currently have 6 products that I sell through Cleaveland and I am always looking for more. If you have an accessory that you have designed and don’t want to market but would like to see successful. Send me a e-mail at dhertner@kitaircraftmods.com I would be happy to discuss it with you.

The latest product I have designed is a replacement spacer set for the RV-10 nose wheel. This spacer set consists of a solid spacer on one side of the wheel bearing and a two-piece threaded spacer on the other. You assemble the wheel, tightening the bolts in the axle to the proper torque specification. Once complete, you turn the outer sleeve to set the proper preload on the bearings and set the set screws.

Once the wheel is assembled you will not have to disassemble it again should you need to adjust the bearing preload.

I will write another post describing it in detail shortly.

Thanks for taking the time to read my musings on the modifications of kit aircraft and do not hesitate to send me your modifications to include on this site.

Dave
