Ship,
I checked the archives, I had saved your message and was nearly following it
to the letter
Great info BTW.
Here goes...
>Fabricate and temporarily install instrument panel
Didn't do that yet, thought it could come later, now that I think of it it
could help because it would force the F-821 skin into the right
curvature...will do ASAP.
>Find and mark the centerline of the F821PP, the support strips and each
>bulkhead.
Done...
>Attach the rear baggage door support strip to the middle bulkhead with at
>least 6 flush rivets, then mark for the centerline of the bulkhead flange.
Done...
>(Drilling this set of holes is the most difficult since it's impossible to
reach
>the bulkhead on the left side of the fuse while drilling from above.....I
used
>a long piece of wood to reach under the glareshield and push on the
bulkhead
>to align marks with holes)
I used 3 small pieces of angle strategically taped to the underside of the
top skin to "pull" the f-866 into the proper position.
>Riveting the front support strip to the firewall is not mandatory...you can
>clamp everything together. If you choose to rivet the strip you will need
to
>drill these out later prior to fitting/drilling the upper cowl hinge
I used only 3 rivets here, 2 at the very edges and 1 where the 2" gap will
be
>Place F821PP on the fuselage.
>Measure VERY accurately to center the skin on the fuse.
>Center & clamp F821PP along firewall flange.
>Mark fuse along skin edges for later reference
>Pull topskin down tightly and tape to fuse
>Drill skin to bulkheads ONLY at center holes or closest to center
>Cleco each center hole
That's where I am now, one center hole drilled and clecoed to the firewall.
I will go and install the instrument pane now, see if things get any better.
Thanks
Roberto

| Subject: | PC 680 battery question |
--> RV8-List message posted by: "Stephen J. Soule" <SSoule@pfclaw.com>
When I installed my PC 680 battery in my RV-6A in 2001 the battery had a
molded-in shelf at each end for a tie down clamp. I fitted angles inside the
battery box to hold it down. I ordered a new one and found that a PC 680 now
comes only in a battery case without the shelves on the ends. This means
that I have to work on a new way to hold the battery in place unless someone
can point me to a source of the old style PC 680 batteries. Can anyone help?

I used the standard style battery hold down. This way if your ever out and
about and need a new battery, you will not be limited to a PC 680.

--> RV8-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com>
Dear Listers,
We're nearing the end of this year's List Fund Raiser and I wanted to share
some of the really nice comments members have been making about the Lists
and what the Lists mean to them. Please take a moment to read over some of
the thought's members have shared with me in the last couple of weeks
regarding the Lists. Its pretty awesome.
If you haven't taken a moment to show your support for the operation and
upgrade of these services, won't you do so now? These Lists are operated
solely through the $20 or $30 contribution you make each year. Without
your yearly support, the Lists may cease to exist in the future. It takes
your resources to keep these systems up. Remember, there's no advertising
budget to keep things afloat. I think pretty much everyone appreciates the
fact that I don't have any pop-ads or flashing banners of any kind on the
List. Your support assures it will stay that way.
Please make your contribution today and, in one small, way fight off the
every increasing commercialism creep that is taking over the Internet!! :-)
The SSL Secure web site for making your List Contribution can be found here:

Thank you to everyone that has already showed their support for the List!!

Mailed you some cash today....as much US$ as I had at the moment...you are
one of the most important resources to me...especially because I am building
in a very remote part of Northern Canada and there simply are no better
quick source of information.
