Vans also sells a mounting bracket that fits in the RV-10 tailcone (https://rv10.org/index.php?title=File:Screen_Shot_2022-03-24_at_11.50.50_AM.png) that is perfect for a spot to mount additional hardware. It's much easier to install earlier in the build process than later. | Vans also sells a mounting bracket that fits in the RV-10 tailcone (https://rv10.org/index.php?title=File:Screen_Shot_2022-03-24_at_11.50.50_AM.png) that is perfect for a spot to mount additional hardware.

Make sure you have enough clecos. During the initial assembly, I used about 650 clecos. | |||

There is a service bulletin (https://www.vansaircraft.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/sb18-03-30.pdf ) for the elevator stop (F-1012D). As mentioned in this YouTube build video (https://youtu.be/g5ONB4e28TI ), Van's did send the required material to create the new part with the rest of the kit (subkit #5), but did not update the plans to reflect the service bulletin. | There is a service bulletin (https://www.vansaircraft.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/sb18-03-30.pdf ) for the elevator stop (F-1012D).

If working alone, you can get away with riveting the bottom skin stiffeners to the bottom skin before clecoing the side skins on. | |||
Step 7 - The outer rivets are very hard to get to. Plans call for AN470AD4-4 rivets, but you may consider using CR3213-4-2 CherryMax rivets (confirmed with builder support that this should be okay). Measure your parts to ensure proper rivet length. You may have to modify your hand riveter to fit within the opening. YouTube video: https://youtu.be/cvwDYFGeK6s?t=614 | |||
