I have an Aerolift that the RV8 is on, while I build my 10. First let me
say the lift works as advertised. The only complaint I have is the
crappy customer support that you get, in that when I arranged the
shipping, I was very, very adamant that I receive the lift when
promised. This is important because you need at least two helpers (all
day), and a rented fork lift with an extension. This is after you have
previously prepared the hangar (several days for mine). After repeated
assurances that mine will ship as promised, I was told at the last
minute that I won't receive it until the following week, because
basically I was de-prioritized by a multiple FBO order. The FBO I would
assume have employees and a forklift available during any business day,
unlike a one man show like mine. This really irritated me, and if you
buy one, be sure and remind them of my displeasure. By the way I have
never heard back from them since they have been paid. Lousy customer
support for a $14,000 specialty purchase.
As for the lift, I would not recommend the $500 castor option, as once
the lift is installed you don't need the wheels, and you can rent them
for initial positioning. I had visions of wheeling this thing around the
airport to another hangar if I ever needed too, but the reality is you
would have to dis-assemble it to move it anyway, as it barely moves
around on my perfectly flat, smooth, concrete floor. My vision of
rolling out the hangar, and down the asphalt ramp without tweeking the
lift is a pipe dream.
I bought both the nose and tailwheel hardware, and either the 8 or 10
can go on the lift.
The 8 is difficult to get on single handed, as the tailwheel needs to go
up the ramp, be secured to the dolly, and rolled back before you can
determine if the mains are in the exact position they need to be in, so
as not to damage the wheelpants, as there is only 1 inch clearance on
each side of the pant. I have the painted lines, etc., but getting it
exactly right usually takes several tries. With a helper pushing, and
pulling on the prop, it's not bad going back and forth up the ramp until
you get it just right, but solo it's exhausting, and potentially
dangerous, as the tailwheel can jump the sides of the ramp, and fall,
which would cause major damage to the tailcone. I won't even try it solo
anymore, as I have had a couple of close calls. Get a helper! If you
think I'm directionally challenged, mark a spot on a ramp, and pull your
taildragger back by the tail and try to get the mains on exactly the
mark, and you'll see what I'm talking about. I think wider wheel cradles
may be an option now, if so, buy them!
Pushing a nosewheel back on the rig should be much easier, as you can
just drive the mains right into the slots, but you will need to come in
at angle with the 10, as the horizontal stab will hit the vertical
column if you came strait back.
The 8 has since been moved into another hangar, as it was not getting
flown regularly because I'm too lazy to roll the 10 fuselage, all the
tables, etc. outside, lower the 8, replace the 10 stuff, go fly, and
repeat the process to put it all away. Just a parked airplane under the
lift would be easy to move, however it can't be a taildragger, unless
you had enough room in front of the lift, as the tailwheel has to go
over the horizontal support leg of the lift.
The lift has proved very handy as a lifting devise for the 10 project. I
use it to lift, and flip the 10 fuselage which is mounted to a steel
rack I made. This way I work on the 10 in a comfortable position. I just
installed tunnel parts while sitting in a chair, with the tunnel at eye
level. Sweet!

--> RV10-List message posted by: "John Hasbrouck" <jhasbrouck@woh.rr.com>
For those with slo-build fuse: What angle stock did you use to make the
roll construction angles ( 1070A & B ) used to roll the side skins? These
are only used for rolling the skins I think so would some angle from the
aviation dept of Lowes suffice? Looks like 3/4 X 3/4 angle, maybe .125
thickness but I can't find the answer in the plans. Any help greatly
appreciated.........thanks....john

3/4 x 3/4 and for sure .125 thickness. And you will need lots of clamps.
Anything less will not work - Been there and tried that, it was not pretty.

John,
I used some angle that was in the kit. IIRC I didn't have any other
angle shortage, and I'm almost done with the fuselage, so it must have
been for that purpose. You can see here for more info:

The James videos are gone as are the Sporty's Flight Review and the
Sporty's Airspace and Weather (thanks Dean and DJ). I decided to break
out the Paintucation videos so you can pick and choose. So here is what
I still have:
- Sporty's Instrument Proficiency Check DVD for $20
- Paintucation's Paint Your Own Car DVD for $25
- Paintucation's Color Sanding and Buffing DVD for $25
- Paintucation's Metal Prep & Rust Repair DVD for $25
- Paintucation's Body Shop Basics! DVD for $25
- Paintucation's Xtreme Detailing! DVD for $25
Thanks again. Not trying to SPAM the list, I really hope someone gets
as much use out of these as I did! I really liked the Paintucation
videos, very well done. I'll throw them on eBay after the holidays if I
don't get any other bites.
