I was interested in incorporating the Sky Design RV-10 ER FUEL TANK KIT kit mod which increases total fuel from 60 gallons to 83 gallons total fuel. After contacting Vans to make the necessary additions and deletions to my wing kit, I received a form with the following verbiage:
"T-1004 Special Order Form
By signing below purchaser certifies that ribs, stock code(s) T-1004-L
and/or T-1004-R will not be used to install aftermarket extended range
fuel tanks. All T-1004-L and T-1004-R ribs may only be installed as
instructed in Van’s Aircraft Inc’s Kit Assembly Instructions Section 18
for the RV-10 and RV-14."
Sky Designs had just received word that this form was being sent out and was researching it.
Anyone else aware of this issue?
What other fuel storage increased capacity mods have been successfully incorporated in the RV-10s?
