Subject: RV8-List: RV-8 Landing gear question

--> RV8-List message posted by: rveighta <rveighta@earthlink.net>

I'm in the process of installing the main gear legs on my RV-8 and have run into
some problems: When I attach the plumb bob lines per the manual to the leading
edges of the gear legs, I am able to get the four lines in alignment only by
canting the gear legs so far forward that (1) the forward bolt hole in each
of the U803 outboard attach brackets is partially underneath the F 851PP skin,
and (2) in this position, I can't maintain the 3/16" dimension between the edge
of the fuselage and the F 803 from front to rear (If I get 3/16" at the rear,
I get 1/4" at the front). 

When I first started this little project, I thought the gear legs would be pretty
much centered in the opening where the cover plate goes. Reckon I should know
by now that things that look simple usually aren't... Maybe you just put 'em
in the center and shim the wheels for proper toe-in.

Any way, has anyone else encountered this problem and what did you end up doing?

I am putting a new instrument panel in my 8 and it has manual trim.  Does the vernier
control part of the time mechanism come apart from the cable so I don't
have to remove the cable the entire length of the airplane...thanks...Rod Daulton

Yes is comes apart right behind (forward of) the knob assy.  I'll take
a picture if you need one.

Regards,
Bob
