It has Phlogiston spars, and is partially built. control surfaces have not been built. This is NOT pre-punched. I live in Kalamazoo, MI. Asking $3,700 Contact; John Veld 269 267-2509 DO NOT ARCHIVE ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:16:17 AM PST US From: "Steve Struyk" Subject: Re: RV-List: RV8 comm antenna spacing Sam, I put two Comant, bent whip type, on the belly of my "8". I was told to put them as far apart as possible to keep them from interfering with each other. To accomplish this one is mounted on the center line of the fuselage just aft of the main spar center section. The other is also on the centerline but aft of the rear baggage area. Both are mounted on doublers on the skin to reinforce those areas. After 100 hours all is well and my radios have worked great. If you like I can send you some pictures off list. Let me know. Hope this helps.

I put both comm. Antennas on the belly and I have no problem except with ground communications when my flaps are down. The -6 is wider however and so spacing is probably less of a problem. Flaps do cause a shadow for me at least.

The holes provided in the wing root faring do not seem to provide enough attachement points. RV-8 QB. -- George H. Inman ghinman@mts.net ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 05:07:52 PM PST US From: rveighta Subject: RV-List: Re: AD INQUIRY - 2003 Van's Aircraft (RV Series) Thanks for your interest in my RV8A. Attached are some photos. To give you some background info, I am the original builder of the airplane and it was built from a quickbuild kit. It includes most of the kit options available - rear seat rudder pedals & throttle, deluxe throttle quadrant and aileron trim. It has been completely flight tested by myself and a friend who is an ex airforce T-37 instructor. It has been spin tested and put through the basic acro maneuvers - loops, rolls, cuban eights, emmelman turns, split S's, etc. Engine- Lycoming IO-360 180HP. TTSN 700. The engine had a prop strike back in the early 90's but was compeltely torn down, inspected, and reassembled by Signature Aviation. A top overhaul was done approximately 250 hours ago, due to low compression (valve), and the need for oil impeller AD. While the engine was down, I decided to replace all cylinders, valves, pistons and rings. The engine has a solid crank, which is very durable, but precludes use of a hydraulic constant speed prop. Prop - the prop was made by Craig Catto out in CA. It is a three blade fixed pitch 66" X72" unit. Instruments Avionics - as you can see by one of the photos, the panel is pretty basic, being designed for day/night VFR flight. Avionics are: radio - Icom A-200, Transponder - Garmin GTX 327, TruTrak ADI (combination horizon/dg), Navaid wing leveler and Grand Rapids engine monitor. Performance - Top speed 204MPH (average of four runs at 8000' at 75% power). Typical cruise is 170MPH block to block at a throttle setting of 2400RPM. Climb is around 2,000/fpm, a little better on a cold day. Paint - done professionally by Rick Harris, Nashville, TN Top color is Lexus pearl, bottom is metallic teal and the "flash" begnins in gold metallic and gradually turns to tangerine metallic. Flash is outlined in apple green hand striping. Hope this meets your needs. I can snail mail you a CD which contains many pics, specs, etc., if you have the interest. Thank you, Walt Shipley Chuckey, TN P.S. The price IS NEGOTIABLE! -----Original Message----- >From: Trade-A-Plane Web Site >Sent: Oct 31, 2007 3:29 PM >To: rveighta@earthlink.net >Subject: AD INQUIRY - 2003 Van's Aircraft (RV Series) > >A Trade-A-Plane web user wishes to inquire about your ad. > >This message is from: jandmbaling@hotmail.com > >PLEASE SEND US INFORMATION AND PICTURES OF PLANE..THANK YOU ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 06:00:20 PM PST US From: "Greg Williams" Subject: Re: RV-List: For Sale BMA EFIS One I have one of these Blue Mountain Efis-one units and it is amazing. Sophisticated, updates are expensive but it sure is cool. Sure is a let-down when I fly behind steam gauges these days.
