If you prefer a more reclined seat back position, I
suggest you ask Van's for the "tall pilot" option on
your RV-8 fuselage. This replaces the Wd-808 seat back
weldment with the Wd-823 version. The horizontal cross
bar is further back (about 2") than the standard
version.

Could you turn the fuselage sideways, mount one wing hanging into the garage
and one hanging out the door? Shouldn't take but a night or two with the
door open and then you can remove at least the one wing hanging outside to
finish up anything needed.

--> RV-List message posted by: JTAnon@aol.com
Building an RV7A QB ... using standard fuel pickups on both sides.
I've reached page 8-13 in the manual where the next step is Wing/Fuselage
assembly. Here's my problem:
My shop is a one car garage. That and the weather make it impossible to
mount the wings at this point. In looking at drwg 36A it seems that the
only
real problem in proceeding with installing the cabin systems without
mounting
the wings is the fuel line connection to the wing tank.
Questions:
Can I just use a connector through the side skin to terminate the fuel line
run from the valve to the side skin, and run a short piece from that to the
tank later?
Are there other issues I'm missing if I go ahead with cabin systems and
mount
the wings later?
Thanks in advance.

Pull the nose gear off the frame, put on the cowl, mark inside of cowl.
Carefully.
Take cowl off drill a quarter inch hole. Put back on and probe to what
you feel is accurate center, then enlarge hole.
Worked for me. Maybe others will have a neater, easier way.

Be careful with this mod: the stick is already too far forward and if your

unless you're really long-armed.

Been using an early model of the Grand Rapids EIS for about 6 years. Love
the programmable alarm if anything goes beyond limits. Only negative thing
I found was that the display was polarized in same plain as polarized
sunglasses. Screen was black until I tilted my head sideways to read it so
I switched to non-polarized glasses. Don't know if this is true on later
units.

Tracy,
I'm not flying my -8A yet but I cut 1" off the bottom of my panel and then put
a double bend in my stick to move the Infinity grip 2" back. The top of the coolie
hat just clears the panel by about 1/4" when I push it forward. As I said,
not flying yet but from sitting in the cockpit makin' airplane noises I think
it's about perfect...not to high or low, not too far back to too far forward.
BTW I did not cut an arc in my panel....I just made a straight line cut all the
way across the removeable part of the panel except at each end where I curved
it down to blend in to the fixed side panels. IMHO I think it looks very nice
and doesn't take away much panel space. Also, I took the 90 deg bent angle
piece that I cut off and riveted it on behind the panel to retain the stiffness....it's
even more rigid than before, without any added weight...
FWIW.

I made my RV-4 seat about 300% more comfortable on long flights by moving
top of seat back from front of roll bar to the back (had to drill a couple
of holes and add two AN-3 bolts) So, I was interested by the recent
discussion on ergonomics and the RV-8 stick.
Question for those who modified the -8 panel so it would clear the modified
stick: How much room on the bottom/center of the panel did you loose when
cutting that radius?

Do you have any pictures of this? I am planning on doing the same
thing, as my knees hit the panel bottom when sitting in the factory -8.
Also ordered the tall pilot option, but haven't got the plane together
enough to sit in it yet. (hope to have it right-side-up next month)
Thanks in advance.

A couple of RVs using this in my area, including me. It has my highest
recommendation. After sales service has been top notch as well. I select
the EIS as the biggest bang for the buck. I use the aux inputs for fuel
gauges (calibrated in gallons and very accurate), and fuel pressure. I'm
using a stand alone fuel flow meter however.

Ollie,
There are a lot of users of the EIS monitor. Myself included. I believe
just about all of us using an Eggenfellner Subaru are installing the EIS
monitor and, in my opinion, it is the best bang for the buck.
The only bad thing I could say is that it doesn't look as sophisticated as
some of the more expensive monitor out there, but I guess you get what you
pay for and in this case, you get a lot.
To make the EIS monitor fit in a panel layout more gracefully, I decided
to make an option for it for my Modular Panel.
www.affordablepanels.com/new_products.html . (Sorry for the plug). I am
only giving ou the link so that you can get some ideas in how to fit the
look of the EIS in your layout. As a matter of fact, quite a few builders
have e-mailed me telling me that they saw the EIS option on my website, and
they are adapting a version of their own in Van's panel.
Good luck!
Regards,
Fabian Lefler

Christopher, I believe what the manufacturer said. I was a motorcycle
dealer for 30 years. Those tubes take a beating. Put the palm of your
hands on your face and rub up and down. It doesn't take long before your
face get sore. Do it a while longer and you can draw blood. That tube is
doing the same thing inside that tire.
We have all been spoiled my modern tubeless tires. When they go, they go
down fairly slow. When you have a blow out with a tube, there is no
strong bead of tire to wheel bond. They almost explode. You loose a tire
on a car and you still have three left. On a motorcycle or airplane the
blowout is hard to manage.
To me, this is one of those, "how much is your life worth?" questions.

I don't have a definitive answer to the question of whether or not to
change tubes every time a tire is remounted, but here is my experience.
Since my RV-6 wears the outside of the tires, particularly the left
tire, at a pretty rapid rate, I end up having the wheels apart 3-4 times
a year, either to replace a tire or flip it so I can wear the "good"
side. I would spend a fortune on tubes if they were replaced every time
a tire was remounted!
Every time I install a tire, I carefully inspect the tube for any
evidence of chaffing or other types of wear. I also dump a good bit of
baby powder in the tire each time it is remounted, and am very careful
not to damage the tube as the wheels are assembled.
To date, I have not seen any evidence of tube damage; matter of fact, I
carry one of the original tubes, which outlasted three sets of tires, as
a spare in my flight kit. For about the past year and a half I have been
running the Michelin Air Stop tubes ($45 each) so I really don't want to
replace tubes unless necessary. By the way, these tubes hold air MUCH
better than the conventional tubes.
Just because I haven't seen any evidence of wear may not mean I will
never have a tube failure, but I am comfortable with reusing the tubes
if they look good, and provided I use good technique with remounting the
tires (I have installed a bunch of motorcycle tires and find the RV
wheels to be much easier to mount).
However....you need to use your best judgment in deciding whether or not
to reuse tubes on your plane.

Due to some snafus, my VM1000 still isnt here, but Im hot to trot to
get a bunch of my electrical work done. Anyone know what type of
AMMETER circuit the VM1000 system uses? (Alternator Load type, Battery +
or lead type, etc). I want to leave a spot for the shunt.
Thanks

I probably shouldn't admit this on the list but I have been running the
tubes that came with my kit for 8 years and over 700 hrs. No sure how
many sets of tires I've gone through. Don't take this as a
recommendation but maybe it will give you more cautious types a bit of
confidence.

Dave,
I have a VM1000 still in the box...it's a couple of years old - I bought it
early...and it is still going in my panel.
If you haven't had your questions answered by the time I get back from New
England, I'll break it out and quote it for you...

It uses an inductive pickup placed over the wire between the alternator and
the regulator or on the output wire from the alternator if you use an
internal regulator. I had the same problem with my VM-1000, I complained
and they sent me all the transducers and I then was able to do most of my
wiring. The displays seem to be the hold up.

Tell those hopelessly out-of-date controllers at your field to have their
Supervisor order the latest version of the FAA Contractions Manual and then
they will be up-to-date with the RV series and many others that were added to
this manual about three years ago. I believe that RV4, RV6 and RV8 are those
currently listed. For the record, I report everywhere as Experimental Van's
1GV and have never had a problem with ATC, except for the few who questioned
the short number.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Don Mack" <don@dmack.net>
I measured from the firewall to the gear (distance A).
I made a mark on each side of the scoop opening in the lower cowl using
distance A. From each mark I measured to the nosegear (distances B & C).
I removed the cowl and place it upside down.
I placed a piece of masking tape across the lower cowl at the points where I
made the marks.
Measured distances B&C and had my marks. Attached the scoop. Turned it over.
Leveled the cowl and dropped a plumb bob from the marks on the tape down to
the scoop.
Used a square to extend the lines to the rear of the scoop and started
cutting.
It fit like a champ.

am doing a -9A which uses the 6A cowl. Not only is it difficult to find the

The nose gear, is of course on the a/c centerline.
