Tom, There is only one builder I'm aware of that if flying with these 

(Rivethead) installed, and to the best of my knowledge he's had no 

problems.  He only monitors the list infrequently and isn't a 

responder.  I have a set installed,  

http://deemsrv10.com/album/Sec%2048%20Gear%20Leg%20&%20Wheel%20Fairings/slides/DSC04681.html  

because  They eliminate the failure point between the nut and the 

extender by  machining  both parts from a single billet.  Additionally 

the 'keeper'  on the end helps keep the pant and the extender 'synched'. 

from what I've gathered (mostly ad-hoc) those that have experienced 

problems had been operating at least partly from strips where the 

surface was 'uneven'. If that's a part of your plan, I would consider 

these or something similar a 'must'.

 Can  anyone confirm that the Rivethead Aero axle extension product accomplishes the same fix as was handled by Tim Olson's group buy last year.

Tom,



	I have carried on Tim's design and have the product available through 

Mike at Cleaveland Tools. The price is competitive with the price 

charged through the Tim's group buy.

 P.S. I'm aware of the difficulty some have had with ordering but my luck's holding so far.

 

 TIA,

Tom:



If you have difficulty getting one of the axle extensions let me know 

.   My friend who has a flying rv10 here in Paris broke his this  last 

two months.  He flies off of a grass strip.  I had my Dad make up two 

sets and I have one extra if you need it.  Could get it in the mail by 

tomorrow.  We used the design off of Tim's site.

Contact me via email.

thanks to everyone for comments and offers.  I ended up following Dave's advice and ordering from Cleaveland Tools.  

Already on their way.
