Concensus seems to be that there invariably is interference, and the part needs to be trimmed. When I think of the time I spent making the part perfect as per plans and now I have to trim it down... This is one where Vans knows there is a problem but it appears to be inconsequential, so it is up to us builders to work around the problem. Michele RV8 - Fuselage --> RV-List message posted by: "Greg Puckett" I'm wondering if anyone else has had a problem fitting the forward wing root fairing on an RV-8 due to interference with the fuselage tank attach bracket (F-863). I obviously have the tank attach bracket too high. About 3/8" would have to be removed from this bracket to allow for a straight/level. It seems as though I would still have plenty of edge distance, but I'm worried about the overall bracket strength if I remove enough to clear. I'll be calling Vans to see what they say but, I'm hoping someone else has been there before.

From: "Stewart, Michael (ISS Atlanta)" --> RV-List message posted by: "Stewart, Michael (ISS Atlanta)" Have you been dreaming of a right stick left throttle? Thoughts of centerline rolling? Maybe swapping out the side by side for a tandem only to find that your wife wont have any part of looking at the back of your head? Well read on then. I had the same problem. For 2 years I have heard nothing but whining and complaining about the prospects of her looking at the back of my head. This past weekend she got some real time back there and it turns out, she really likes it. Even better than the side by side if you can believe that. Snip below is from my wife Michelle to our yahoo group of formation friends that I thought you might like to read and perhaps share with your significant other. Michelle would be happy to speak to any of the wives as well if you need some extra boost off the fence. Michelle has many many hours in the -6 and even on the first 2 hour mission, she is already converted. Yipee? Best Mike Do not archive -----Original Message----- From: teamrv@yahoogroups.com [mailto:teamrv@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Michelle Stewart Subject: [Team RV] Sunday Flying from Photo's Perspective I was thinking one day, I needed to get to know Mike's new toy, the "Super 8", a little better and more "personally", so I asked him to take me flying on Sunday. I didn't care where we went, we didn't even have to have a destination - I just wanted to fly. Over the North Georgia Mountains or Lake Lanier would have been fine. As many of you know, I've been a little skeptical about this tandem thing, after enjoying the side-by-side of the RV6 for so long. It turns out Mike had a quick meeting early Sunday morning in Cartersville, GA, to redo some paperwork for the -8. So we got to the airport early and took off for Cartersville. Boy, that airplane is smooooooooooooth, and quiet, too! I powered up the GPS in the back seat and could not believe it - we were going about 225 kts (with a tail wind)! It was a beautiful morning and the flight was great (but quick!) - I can't believe the visibility in the -8. On the way to Cartersville, we discussed the options of where to go after his meeting, and decided to try my brother Bruce, who recently moved to Guntersville, AL, overlooking beautiful Guntersville Lake. I had not seen his house there yet. I called Bruce from the Cartersville airport and caught him just before heading out for church. Mike said he guestimated 40 minutes to get from Cartersville to Guntersville, so Bruce said he'd pick us up at the airport in 45 minutes. We took off, and Mike asked if I wanted to try flying it (another one of my criticisms of the -8 - you can't see nor fly it from the back seat!). Well, I was wrong - within a few minutes, he walked me through setting up my GPS, and I flew it! It was really easy to fly and again, visibility was no problem! As I settled in to flying it and watching the GPS, I noticed we only had 16 minutes ete to Guntersville! This thing really IS fast! We landed at Guntersville airport, after passing over the lake and my brother's house. Bruce arrived shortly thereafter and we went to his place (adorable, beautiful view, and NO rat-race like Atlanta), had breakfast in town, then headed back to the airport. We planned on doing a couple of passes over Bruce's house, which ended up including a roll. I cannot believe how smooth this airplane is. I don't know all the technological or mechanical terms or reasons why, but it just feels..."smoother"! I really "connected" with the airplane on Sunday, as I told Mike. I love the space and comfort in the back seat. Visibility forward is no problem; visibility everywhere else is excellent. Mike's cute little rear-view mirrors a great - we can actually see each other's face while we talk. The tinted canopy is great for controlling most of the sun's brightness, but I'll probably get a stick-on type sun shade for those long trips. The fresh air in the back is great - the HEAT is awesome, too! I have heat in the back seat of an -8! What more could I ask for? Only one problem on my first real experience in the Super 8: I forgot the camera! But I did get to analyze and enjoy the plane and the flying more without it. So until next time......

Charlie >Heathco. As for fuel prices it is relevant especially to people who are actually building their aircraft.. They need to determine engine type, fuel system design and type of fuel to use. Fuel costs may determine some of those decisions. In regards to only one or two response to fixing an actual problem: if it is a finished aircraft just about any A&P IA can answer the question as well or maybe better than a builder or a non builder owner. I consult my A&P often regarding problems with my RV6. Also my 1994 version of the RV is not even offered by Van at this time. I could gladly tell some RV-10 builder how to do it the way I did it on a RV6, but what value would that be? Nor do we need 100 responses all saying the exact same thing. If the first response got it right, no need for further discussion. Over the years I have seen a bunch of people join and leave the RV List. But, the List keeps on going. If it doesn't meet your needs, do not use it and do not archive.

Mechanically very smooth and easy to open and close. I don't know if they seal any better than the Usher caps that are standard but I suspect they do. They work on a different principle of sealing...they flatten an o ring onto a mating surface. The usher caps expand an o ring into the filler neck to seal and I would think would be harder to get a perfect seal. The deluxe caps are obviously quite a bit more expensive......So its nicer hardware VS more cost (not the last time you are going to have to make that decision :) Cheers.....

It's the one just fwd of the HS deck and far enough to make it a PITA to reach through those holes to tighten the bolts on the anchor. I don't recall the dwg # and it is a little obscure but there are only a couple that show that area.

I really like the archer NAV wingtip antennas, but don't use my wingtip comm. While they do work, the don't come close to working nearly as well as a bent whip belly mounted antenna. Living under Class B airspace I really like to have good comm, so the wingtip comm ended up disconnected and we installed a bent whip. This is fairly typical with the RV's, as the wingtip doesn't allow for much vertical polarization for the comm antenna. I suspect if you could get it completely vertical it would work much better, but it just doesn't work that well in an RV installation. Just my 2 cents!

Got the FAA coming the 14th and didn't notice it before. I must have had the interior in 10 times during the process....even tested the crouch strap reinforcement but never the "Complete System" till now.

Should be as good as auto and has DG, VSI, AI, functions at reasonable prices. Should be good for VFR, would think hard if you're thinking IFR. http://www.sportflyingshop.com/Instr/Stratomaster/SmartSingles/smartsingles. html Bill S 7a Ark fuse panel -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Jamie Painter Subject: RV-List: Square/Rectangular Engine Instruments --> RV-List message posted by: Jamie Painter Anyone have a source for square/rectangular engine instruments?

No idea as to quality or how reliable they are...

HomebuiltHELP has just completed a new DVD entitled: Weight & Balance101 for Homebuilts. It is basically a how-to refresher course in W&B geared specifically to understanding and filling out the documents needed for the inspection step of certification for an experimental homebuilt.. I'll leave it that and let those interested visit http://homebuilthelp.com/W&B.htm for further details on this. (FWIW, the people at HomebuiltHELP read the RV List everyday!)
