Matt, as long as you have the minimun equipment installed that is required
for IFR flight. then its my understanding that you can fly IFR if you have
the IFR rating. Your FSDO can clear up the matter when you see him Friday..
.The FAA equiptment list will state what is minimun equiptment for IFR flig

this week and had my airframe inspection on Monday will get my sign-off th
is Friday if all goes well.- Looking over the requirements for IFR, it ap
pears that I've got everything I need as far as equipment is concerned.-
I have a Garmin SL-30 for Com/Nav and a Garmin GTX-327 for Mode C transpond
er.- All of the other equipment and functionality is provided by the GRT
Horizon HX sytems including the encoder, attitude, airspeed, altitude, comp

s other than what is provided by GRT through an HX installation.=0A=0AMy qu
estion is can my RV-8 be approved for IFR flight with this compliment of GR

and/or other TSO'd pieces such as rate-of-turn, slip, sensitive altimeter,
artificial horizon, direction gyro, etc?=0A=0A=0AMatt Dralle=0ARV-8 #82880

Dear Listers,
I wanted to check out the operation of all the various systems on the RV-8 now
that the engine is running. For example, comparing the fuel flow and fuel pressure
readings between the FuelChec DX and the GRT EFIS. I also wanted to run
the engine up a little and make sure the CHT and EGT's were coming into a normal
range and the all of the probes were working. Also, I wanted to see the oil
pressure and temps in normal ranges after a bit of running. Finally, I wanted
to check the engine RPM with the new TruTach II hand held optic tachometer.
On April 13 2010 I hopped in the pilot's seat and fired up the IO-390 and went
though some checks. I videoed the procedure and used the intercom to call out
the various readings I was observing. If you select the 1080p version of the
YouTube video, you can actually read most of the values right off the GRT EFIS
displays! Towards the end of the video some music starts to play. This is
coming from the Kenwood via the MP3 files on the 64GB thumb drive plugged into
the panel via the PS3000 Intercom and is exactly what I'm hearing in the headphones.
YouTube Video (Select higher resolutions 480p/760p/1080p for clearer picture):

| Subject: | RV-8 - Adding Cowling Front Rubber Seals... |
HOBBS Meter: 2448 Hours
In the front of the lower cowling around the nostrils, there are two rubber gaskets
that are riveted to the fiberglass and form a seal between the cowling and
the lower engine baffling. Since it was time to taxi test with cowling on,
it was time to finally rivet them on. No big deal; just one more thing to be
done before the test flight... :-)
