    Subject: push to talk stick mount
    I want to put PTT in right stick, have looked over vans and spruce but no adapter that goes in stick to mount the swt in found. Any leads? I had to replace the swt in pilot side recently, looked like maybe the mount plug in stick was special made, is that the case, or does anyone know where one could be found? Charlie

    Sounds like the pilot side is a modified hole plug. Just get a hole plug from your local hardware store to fit the hole on the end of the right stick. (They are normally chrome with spring ears to hold it in place.) Drill a hole in it sized for the PTT switch, mount the switch to the plug and push it in the end of the stick. Voila - Custom switch adapter!

My question is where are the divider cuts made in the RV-8 intersections when attached permanently to the wheel pant? Show a photo or two would be appreciated, Bill of Georgia RV-8A, N288WP, 10 Hrs into Phase l and trying to finish the legs and wheel pants Hi Bill, I don't quite follow what you're asking. But, do yourself a huge favor and surf over to Bob Snedaker's "Fairing Etc" web site and order up a pair of upper and lower intersection fairings. You'll be glad you did. They fit exceptionally well and reduce the amount of time spent significantly. More importantly, when you're done, you'll have an exacting shape match between the left and right sides. Here's a link to Bob's site: * https://fairings-etc.com/Intersection_Fairings.html Here's a step by step of how I did my RV-8 lower fairings using Bob's parts. 13 log entries: * http://www.mattsrv8.com/users/display_log.php?user=MattsRV8&project=638&category=2973&log=99660&row=82 Later, I redid the wheel pants and made a blister for the brake caliper which made them fit a LOT better. I highly recommend this modification. 11 log entries: * http://www.mattsrv8.com/users/display_log.php?user=MattsRV8&project=638&category=2973&log=108939&row=17 - Matt Dralle RV-8 #82880 N998RV "Ruby Vixen" http://www.mattsrv8.com - Matt's Complete RV-8 Construction Log http://www.mattsrv8.com/Mishap - Landing Mishap Rebuild Log http://www.youtube.com/MattsRV8 - Matt's RV-8 HDTV YouTube Channel Status: 170+ Hours TTSN - Rebuilding Fuselage After Landing Mishap...

    I have to replace the tire on my 6A, I ent back to my plans and read the section on installing the wheels and brakes. It says when assembling the split wheels "observe the manufacturer's bolt torque specifications". I've been looking for those on line and can't find them. The cleveland maintenance manual on line is a broken link. Is it just the normal torque for that size bolt? -- Tom Sargent, RV-6a, N811WT flying

    If you can give me your wheel assembly number (like 40-50, or 40-74A) I have the manual on my computer with the torque for each model, but I don't have a listing of what wheels the different Vans models have.

    There should be a label on the wheel that says: 90 in-lbs. The bolts are 1/4" -20 with nylocks.
