* 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.

*The Airflow scoop has a planar top flange for attachment to the bottom skin, however, the RV-10's bottom skin has a 2 degree bend around the middle of the scoop (at the rear wing spar).<br>[[File:2022-08-07 19-13-00.jpg|400x400px]]<br>A good way to reshape the scoop is to jam high density foam into the groove above the inlet opening and continuing in same groove around the sides to the bend point. This pushes the flange up in the forward section. | *The Airflow scoop has a planar top flange for attachment to the bottom skin, however, the RV-10's bottom skin has a 2 degree bend around the middle of the scoop (at the rear wing spar).<br>[[File:2022-08-07 19-13-00.jpg|400x400px]]<br>A good way to reshape the scoop is to jam high density foam into the groove above the inlet opening and continuing in same groove around the sides to the bend point.
