| Subject: | -8 quickbuild gearleg drilling. |
--> RV8-List message posted by: "Shane Summerhays" <ssummerhays@attbi.com>
George, my father and I have just completed drilling and fitting the
gearlegs on our -8 and I will tell you it is quite a job. I would
suggest you try and clamp the 803 down to use it as a drill guide. In
our situation the 803 block rode up the drill slightly and it made our
hole a little out of square to the longeron. we then cut a bushing and
put it in the hole and used the inside of the bushing as a drill guide
for a 1/4 inch bolt which we were able to tighten down then we increased
the size to the 3/8 required. All of the other holes went well. The
last bit of work was getting the clearance the plans require of .030
between the wear plate and the face of the 803 block. To get the block
out you must disassemble the entire gear leg grind down the block and
reassemble,torque and check the clearance with a feeler. We must have
disassembled our gear leg about 6 times before we got the clearance
correct. I hope this helps

That would be a 8 with a 0-540 in it. There are 4 in Indy and 2 in
Louisville. All were helped along by John Marshall the Indy RV guru!

So, I, and I think others would like to know more about the Super 8.
How much does it weigh?
How do you get a forward CG?
What is the top speed?
What is the climb rate?
Please add anything else of interest.

Wayne,
Beautiful paint job. Is the graphic paint or decal? If decal, how hard was
it to put on?

Mine is aligned with the rear canopy rail on the centerline. That's where
Van puts his too.

George -
It's essential that the gear "box" nestle snugly against the inner skin before
drilling, or else your gear leg might not be properly positioned to allow the outboard
retainer blocks meet the curvature of the gear leg where they should. I'm sorry
I
can't use part numbers - my plans are at the hangar. Like Van says - think, then
drill!
Hope this helps

Hi Scott -
After much thought, I placed mine under the right canopy sill in the back
cockpit. The passenger can't miss it when he/she climbs in, and it's out of the
way . . .

Hi Rob
I got N638DM certified on March 20 and flew it on March 23. Couldn't be
happier.
638DM is similar to your -8; O 360 A1A, Hartzell C/S, IFR certified, 1127
empty, 205 mph @ 70% power @ 8,000 ft.
Congratulations
Don Miller

--> RV8-List message posted by: "Andrew Morgan" <amorgan53@charter.net>
in the recent flyoff thread on the RV list (to which
i currently don't subscribe, but do browse), there's
mention of <http://www.nsiaero.com> , which
sells subaru kits for 170 and 205 hp engines...
and the website lists these kits for RV6/7/9,
but not for RV8s... anyone know why, and
whether NSI will build a kit for the RV8?
do not archive
