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?
