I am getting ready to attach the canopy skirt and wonder what, if any,
adhesive or sealant to use between the skirt and the canopy.
Any suggestions or experience appreciated.
Thanks

I have Bob's gear leg to wheel pant intersection fairings (purchased while building)
and I like them. I epoxied them onto the wheel pant and was able to get
a very good fit with the gear leg fairings. I feel I saved a lot of time by
not making my own. I have purchased his upper nose gear intesection fairing but
have not installed it yet, mainly because I'm too busy flying. I now intend
to purchase his new 8 empennage fairing as mine does not fit well since I shimed
the horizontal stab. If you want to save time, or hate laying up custom
fiberglass on your own (like me), Bob offers a worthwhile service and, from what
I've seen so far, pretty good fit.

Hi Walt. I drilled and bolted my RV8 _grove light weight gear this weekend.
Had no problem. ( that I know of.) I was able to keep the 3/16" clearence.
It seems centered in the Opening. I am sure some final shim may be required.
You don't suppose your gear may be bent or improperly formed. Don

> 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).

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.

Bob,
You have a reputation for doing good work judging from the responses I got
on this list and on the others.
Please count me in for a full set for my RV8 - now it is just a question of
timing. I am currently at the Wings stage and should hopefully order the
finishing kit after I finish the fuselage canoe part - this year hopefully.
Could you possibly email your lead time?
Regards,
Michle
