    Subject: super 8s & acro weight
    --> RV8-List message posted by: RV8ter@aol.com Can someone email me a link that has details on how you install a 540 onto a RV8? Anyone know how much additional weight these installations are averaging? Also, how do you know for sure which acro weight limit is the one for your plane?

    --> RV8-List message posted by: "Larry Bowen" <Larry@bowenaero.com> I had to widen my roll-over bar less than an inch (using an engine hoist) to get a good fit.

    Subject: Zener diodes
    --> RV8-List message posted by: "Dave Hamilton" <dshamilton@bellsouth.net> I have an infinity stick grip with the starter button on the top right. I have been told that a zener diode wired properly will prevent the starter from engaging if the prop is already turning (if the ALT is producing power). Does anyone know how to wire these things in?

    Subject: Zener diodes
    --> RV8-List message posted by: "Larry Bowen" <Larry@bowenaero.com> I'm using a second 'starter enable' switch on the console instead. Not flying yet. Is there an advantage to using the diode over the switch? - Larry Bowen Larry@BowenAero.com http://BowenAero.com 2003 - The year of flight! > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-rv8-list-server@matronics.com > [mailto:owner-rv8-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of > Dave Hamilton > Sent: Sunday, May 11, 2003 5:51 PM > To: rv8-list@matronics.com > Subject: RV8-List: Zener diodes > > > --> RV8-List message posted by: "Dave Hamilton" > --> <dshamilton@bellsouth.net> > > > I have an infinity stick grip with the starter button on the > top right.

    Subject: Re: Fuselage jig for free and rollbar dimensions
    --> RV8-List message posted by: PSILeD@aol.com Listers, I measured my 8 QB today. S/N 81735, and got essentially the same measurements. If you place the roll bar on the fuselage I have about 1/4" slack. Rollbar needs to be opened up. Have you tried placing rollbar on fuselage? Paul
