In fact, if you have seen it for the RV-8A, you have found something I did not have for mine! I concocted a firewall forward order with Vans, but the drawings were all for the RV-6/7 (i.e., center console, etc.). Thus, most of my placement determination has been based on what I have seen on RV-8 builders' sites and/or what seems to make sense. Good luck! Scott in Memphis "Wayne R.

I know I've seen it before but for the life of me I can't find it now that I need it.

I'm going to buy new this time but maybe I can still get away with something not too expensive. Is anyone using the "under $100" air drills available at Browns or Cleveland and finding them to do the job just fine or do I really have to fork out a couple hundred for an air drill? Also, so that I don't have to stop working while waiting for a new drill, has anyone used their Makita for any work? -Will Allen North Bend, Wa RV8 emp ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:46:58 PM PST US From: "Jolly" Subject: Re: RV8-List: Air drills --> RV8-List message posted by: "Jolly" have you looked at US TOOLS?..do they have harbor freight in you aerea>,,or look in the old favorite trade-a-plane..you will find some good deals there for sure..but don't give up on boeing..I bought a used air drill there 9 years ago, and still use it every day.. it has done several homebuilts and repaired a bunch of general av aircraft...blue skys to you..rv8a (almost completed) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Will & Lynda Allen" Subject: RV8-List: Air drills > --> RV8-List message posted by: "Will & Lynda Allen" > > Well so much for the air drill I picked up at Boeing Surplus, it didn't even > make it through the HS!

I also use my Makita, especially the angle one, a lot. I wore out a $150 vibrating sander and then bought one of the cheap ones. I wore it out also. I then took both of them apart and replaced the vanes. They were both the same on the inside. Go cheap on the air tools. Stan N188rv, RV-8, flying 13 months with no problems.
