| Subject: | RV-8 on Grove Gear |
As an occasional poster but daily reader... And having searched the archives...
I am hoping someone on this list has built a RV-8 and installed the Grove airfoiled
gear legs.
I am in the midst of installing the Grove legs and have found that the Grove legs
are thicker (dhoo! that's right they are aluminum and thus would need to be
30% thicker to be as stiff as the steel).
Because of the increased thickness the clamp blocks will protrude beyond the fuse
skin. My first thought was to eliminate the wear blocks between the gear legs
and fusalage to reduce the installed height of the gear legs. I don't think
ommiting the wear plates is a good idea.
Thus my question, what have other done? Does the gear leg inersection fairing
cover up the protruding gear leg attach block?

>Hi Matt,

>Welcome back to this crazy and rewarding thing that we do! ;) What make/model
is the entertainment system? What influenced your decision?
I went with the Kenwood DNX8120 for a number of reasons. Certainly the "coolness"
factor had a little to do with it, and, well, I'm trying to see just how many
LCD flatpanels I can wedge into an RV-8 instrument panel... :-)
Seriously, though, the DNX8120 has a lot of features that come in a nicely integrated
solution. The 7" LCD is very clear and bright. It has both an iPod control
interface and a USB hard drive/thumb drive interface. More on those later.
It has a Garmin-based full moving map with POI database, which is probably
not exactly useful in an airplane, but here's a situation: Let's say you're
flying along on a cross country to somewhere far away and suddenly you've got
a huge hanker'n for an A&W Papa Burger and a frosty mug of Root Beer. Your next
way point could then easily include a local city with just such an establishment.
Doesn't A&W have car hops? Maybe they'll rollerskate out to the RV-8...
Okay, its a stretch, but I had to justify the coolness somehow...
It has a "touch-screen" where all but a couple of things can be viewed, configured,
and changed. The upside of the touch screen is ease of use and "coolness",
but the downside are the finger prints and ultimate wear on the screen. The
screen is "fingerprint resistant", but sweaty fingers still leave prints. There
are some "hard-buttons" for Volume control and switching sources.
It also has a "rear-view" camera for "check-six" (very tiny and clear). Kind of
like a rearview mirror actually. Very cool.
Audio quality of the DVD player, MP3, XM, and HD radio are all extremely clear.
I've got a PM3000 stereo intercom and new Bose NR headsets and the audio is
stellar to say the least.
Kenwood also makes a matching 7" "headrest" rest flat panel (Kenwood LZ-702IR
) that I will be mounting to the back of the pilot's set so the passenger can enjoy
some "in-flight" entertainment.
The iPod direct control interface works really well and will stream both music
and videos off your iPod. The downside is that it appears to use the line-level
audio output from the iPod, so the quality suffers a little. Does anyone know
if you can stream digital audio from the iPod?
The USB harddisk/thumbdrive interface (can be connected at the same time as the
iPod interface), works very well and the audio quality is superb since the D/A
conversion is done in the Kenwood. The downside is the severely limited number
of MP3 file the Kenwood seems to be able to handle. It appears to be a little
over 3000 tracks. I have a 160GB 2.5" USB hard drive with about 100GB of
MP3's and I was hoping to be able to access all 18,000 tracks, but it won't seem
to read them all. Maybe on the next firmware update. There is no track limitation
on the iPod interface and the Kenwood lists all 80GB of MP3's I have
on the iPod.
There is full bluetooth integration as well. It sync's up with my Blackberry 8820
great and I can dial and place calls right from the Kenwood with phone audio
coming through the Bose headsets. Voice pickup is through a dedicated microphone
plugged into the Kenwood; I'm not sure how well that will work in the noise
airplane environment, however.
The Garmin-based GPS Navigation works great! The maps are very detailed and updates
are quick. There are a TON of POI's and all include address and phone number.
It will be interesting to bring up the ground speed on the Kenwood and
compare to the GRT to A-B test the response time. Probably aren't too many car
installations where the cruse speed will exceed 200mph!
So, to summarize, the Kenwood DNX8120 is an very nice, high-quality, highly integrated
entertainment system that makes a nice installation in the panel. Perhaps
the only downside to it is the weight. The HU itself is pretty heavy and
all of the external "boxes" (XM, HD Radio, etc) add up too.
Here are a couple of links to the main unit and the remote screen:

| Subject: | Re: RV-8 on Grove Gear |
Hi Chris
I am building an -8 and used the grove airfoil gear. I used the wear plates
that came in vans kit and the new clamp blocks that came with the grove
gear. The inner one does not protrude. It alls seems to fit just fine under
the
cover plates. The fiberglass fairings will cover all the outboard ones
without problem.
My bird is up on the gear now. The Grove gear look pretty good and you get
to avoid all the gear fairing stuff. Good choice from my limited frame of
reference.

Michael,
How about posting some pictures of the gear legs with close ups and distance shots
to get a idea what they look like on the plane. When did you order them,
when did you get them? I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago and was told about
10 weeks for delivery or more.
