    Subject: Conduit
    --> RV8-List message posted by: Lloyd <tlloyd6250@comcast.net> I'm building an 8QB and just installed a conduit. I used a 3/4" OD 0.035 wall seamless Al tube purchased from Aircraft Spruce. I made five supports per wing and a locating fixture so that I could have the conduit pass through one of the large lightening holes from tip to root. You have a better opportunity, however. If I were you I'd drill a hole in the ribs where Van does only large enough to get the tube placed into the hole with a plastic grommet to prevent fretting. Do it now before any assembly. I have antennas in both tips along with landing lights, marker lights and strobe. The left wing also has the pitot heat wiring. All this stuff just wont fit a 5/8" OD tube. --> RV8-List message posted by: "Jim Adams" <jimmiea@essex1.com> I am building an RV-8A and am just finishing deburring the wing ribs. I need to drill holes to run the conduit for the wing tip lights. Anyone out there who could tell me what conduit worked the best and the location they used to run it throught the W-711-R/L inboard wing ribs? Jim Adams RV-8A wing

    Subject: Fuel Tank fit
    --> RV8-List message posted by: "Ken Simmons" <ken@truckstop.com> I trial fitted my fuel tank tonight to drill the Z brackets. It doesn't butt up against the leading edge. The W-423 joint plate is obviously too wide. It's right where the plans say it should be, 7/8". When measuring the skin overhang on the outboard end of the tank, it's just a little over 3/4". Is this normal? Just trim the W-423 and move on? Thanks.

I can't remember exactly how that worked but if you follow the plans the tank does not fit the leading edge as you said. I'd call Vans' Tech support. >_Boyd Seal- =================================================================== === >_- =================================================================== === >_- =================================================================== === >_- =================================================================== === > >
