* The governor control cable needs to be routed across the top of the engine. The manual states "Reroute the prop governor control cable over the top of the engine utilizing the Van’s Aircraft bracket, part no. VA-153-PA or VA-183-PC (depending on your need). Note in the photos that the bracket may require modification to clear the pushrod tube." Neither of those parts are in the Vans store. The part is now called VA-153-PC.<br>[[File:Screen Shot 2022-07-13 at 9.34.47 AM.png|312px]] | * The governor control cable needs to be routed across the top of the engine.

* The Airflow AC comes with a replacement for the top part of the baggage compartment bulkhead close-out. It is a flat part and has cut-outs for the air intake and cut-outs for two cold air output vents.<br>With this setup, it becomes optional to feed an overhead panel with cold air but there are two more 2 inch outlets at the evaporator to feed an overhead panel. Note: The instructions still show a central single large outlet and a corrugated part but the kit contains a flat bulkhead close-out and two 2 inch outlets for the overhead console.<br>[[File:Screen Shot 2022-07-13 at 9.37.37 AM.png|327x327px]]<br>Note: if you install the BRS parachute, two brackets block the area in the bulkhead for feeding air into the overhead console. So either just go with the two close-out vents or feed the air into the overhead console from the side / holes in the bulkhead more towards the sides. | * The Airflow AC comes with a replacement for the top part of the baggage compartment bulkhead close-out.

*Ongoing resolution with a current kit: the Airflow scoop has a planar top flange for attachment to the bottom skin, however, the RV-10's bottom skin in this area has a bend around the middle of the scoop (the rear part has an increased upslope towards the tailcone. If the front part of the scoop is flush, the tail end has a gap of 25/64 to the bottom skin). The scoop houses a very long and straight condenser which is in a tight slide-in slot, so bending the scoop to follow the bottom skin might cause jamming. Issue will be updated here. | *Ongoing resolution with a current kit: the Airflow scoop has a planar top flange for attachment to the bottom skin, however, the RV-10's bottom skin in this area has a bend around the middle of the scoop (the rear part has an increased upslope towards the tailcone.
