Guys,
Here is another solution to the Axle Extenders for the wheelpants on the RV10. Since the Vans supplied extenders are having problems in the field, my brother Jim (who is an engineer) came up with a solution.
The pics below show his design. The axle extender rod is hollow in the center. This setup is lighter, thats right, lighter in weight than Van's nut and bolt on extender. It doesn't look like it in the pics, but it is! And it's stronger too!
The one piece billet axle rod screws onto the axle. The Capture washer was machine to fit exactly on the axle rod extender and is bonded onto the wheel pant just as Vans has you do with his. The capture washer distributes the loads on the wheelpant with this plug and socket design.
If you want a set, my brother Jim is selling them for $150.00 a pair plus $5 for shipping. Call him at 302-250-7872 or email him at

For those of us that have already DRILLED the hub for the cotter pin what would we do? It does not appear your solution has a cotter pin hole drilled into it.

Dean,
The holes will be drilled in at the same dimensions as Van's cap. These pics were taken literally 1 hour before I posted them. The axle extender was still warm from the CNC. Jim will drill the holes in the production models. They will fit right on!

This is, obviously to me, a perfect solution. I just don't want to spend
the $155. For those who don't mind the price tag, this is definitely the
way to go. Hello, Van's, it's time for ya'll to do something like this.
Do not archive.

The easy way is to take 1" bar stock, cut it a little over size in
length, use a disc sander and square both ends to final length, use a
drill press and drill both ends the appropriate hole size, tap them and
you are done. About 15 minutes and about $5 bucks in parts, the shipping
is the killer.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that is beginning to think some of
these aftermarket parts are getting a bit steep in price for something
that simple. I mean it can't take a lot of stock or machine time for
some of this stuff.
My suggestion to everyone is to remember you are building an airplane.
It takes comments like Dan's below and Deems to remind even me of that
sometimes.
