The discussion over at the VAF is enlightening as well [1]. The guy basically ignored everyone around him and decided to do things his way or incompletely (he was flying with clecos in the fuselage). That combined with get-there-itis and inexperience with the plane led to his death. I've flown an RV10 and and seriously looking into building one. Nothing about his accident has any influence on my decision process. The Vans kits are probably the best in the industry and section 5.27 of the plans clearly says not to use any sealant, including RTV, on fluid fittings. (Section 5 is a common chapter to all of the RV series and even comes with the practice kit.) 1. http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=44934 PS your first link is about lions. |

That may be my fault. That story (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-north-carolina-lion/lion-...) seems to be following me around today.
