| Subject: | Grove Gear On RV-8 - Taller Than Stock? |
Dear Listers,
There was an RV-8 parked out on the ramp at Livermore a couple of weeks ago and
so I went over and checked it out. Can't remember the N number now, but it appeared
to be an older one. It had the stock landing gear with the fiberglass
airfoiled covers over the square legs.
But what I seemed to notice is that it sat lower on the gear. So, I measured from
the ground to the top-side rivet at the firewall. I went home and made the
same measurement on my RV-8 with the airfoiled gear and measured a full 6" taller
at that point. I really like the taller look, but I'm wondering why its
so much taller? I don't have the engine on yet, but I can't imagine it was sag
that much with engine on. If I pull on the engine mount with my 6'1" and 240
lbs it doesn't move much at all.
Anyone else notice this phenomenon?
