--> RV8-List message posted by: "Steve Glasgow" <willfly@carolina.rr.com>
About 6 months ago specks in the fuel started to show up.
During preflight when the aircraft had set for some time, when I drain fuel
from under the wing I find some brown or blackish specks floating in the
fuel. It takes about 6 ounces of draining to clear up the specks. I don't
think it is from the fuel truck.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Could it be the tanks sealer is
dissolving?
I have a QB RV8, 10 months since first flight with 140 hours total.
Thanks,
Steve Glasgow

Steve, my -8 has been flying for about 50 hours now, and the same thing is
happening. Looks like Proseal. I built my tanks, not QB. I'm guessing
that fuel sloshing around has worked some small pieces loose, maybe from
places where it was real thin over the surface of the skin?
I recently drained all of the fuel out through a filter to flush the tanks
because these little pieces of crap get into the fuel drain and make it
drip. I'm not too worried, surely it will stop eventually. I'm interested
to see if others have had this same problem.

Steve,
I have an F1 Rocket. At about 1 year old and 150 hrs I lost power in flight damn
near killed myself and a friend.
Wasn't getting anything visible in the fuel but the strainer going into the throttle
body was clogged with something. This was distal to the filters and selector
valve. My suspicion is it was sometype of preservative or sealant that dissolved
to some extent. No problems since.

--> RV8-List message posted by: RVEIGHTA@aol.com
Guys, my partner and I are looking at putting a heat duct from a seperate
heat muff back to the rear seat area. Anyone done this? Any other ideas about
getting a heat source back there?
Also, sometime back I posted a query about van's airtech wingtip lens kits
and got several helpful answers. On going back through my pictures of Oshkosh,
I noticed a red, white & blue RV8 which had exactly what I want.
Unfortunately I don't have the N number in the pics, but the wing is blue from
the
leading edge back past the wingtip lens then white to the trailing edge, with
two
red stripes slightly aft of where the white begins. Could the owner of this
plane contact me as to where he got the lens kit?
Thanks, Walt Shipley RV8A 120 hrs. RV8 fuselage

--> RV8-List message posted by: "Sims, Doug" <Doug.Sims@danahermotion.com>
Folks, I have a Vans wiring harness with the Vans power distribution bar
mounted in front of the panel per Vans plans. I need to ground my radios and
wonder whether i should use the same ground point as the instruments, drill
a separate ground bolt on the same brace or run a separate ground to the
firewall or block. Any help would be appreciated.

seal up the big holes like the aileron push rods, the rear stick boot and then
install a removable car seat heater pad that plugs into a 12 Socket. You'll want
one yourself.

Walt,
The red white and blue RV-8 was mine. The wingtip lights came from RMD
Lighting. Talk to Bob DeBorde at 503-628-6056. It is a really good add on light
system. If you have any questions, call me at 210-658-2999.
