Hey Everyone, I wanted to take a few minutes and share some news on new products and improvements made to others.
Our dual bearing yoke for all tailwheel RV's has been modified slightly. Over the past few years I've been studying tailwheel RV's and discovered that the fork shaft on most RV's is not vertical. This includes the stock Van's assembly and other aftermarket units. This appears to be caused by weight on the tail. It is very slight and most will not notice. As a result of the research, we have modified the attachment angle to get the fork shaft vertical. This effort was successful. All yokes from the first of the year have included this modification including those for the RV14.
We now have fuel rings that go over the fuel cap opening. in The rings display the gallons and the type of fuel as required to get your ticket. This eliminates the need to have the caps engraved and provides protection for your paint around the fuel opening. The rings are held in place with a double sided tape. Designer Myron Nelson, has had these on his RV10 for several years. Even in the heat of AZ they have held strong. These are available for the RV10, RV14 and RV7/8. They come in Black with white lettering or White with Black lettering. If there is enough interest, we will consider doing them for the 9, 4 and 3.
Finally, we now offer the steering link with a blue anodized housing. The very popular drain fairing and dual port vent fittings (guaranteed to give you a knot or two of additional speed) are now available in natural aluminum or anodized blue.
Shortly after Sun N' Fun we will offering the long awaited grab handles for the side by side sliders and RV8. These are machined to perfectly match the contour of the roll bar. They can be easily installed in planes under construction or those already flying.
And, after a long absence we will have another tow bar available. This will be available very soon.
