--> RV8-List message posted by: "Stephen J. Soule" <SSoule@pfclaw.com>
Listers,
I have my RV-8 QB fuselage upside down on a sawhorse so I can drill the
landing gear on my RV-8. The manual says to level the F-822 floor fore and
aft and laterally. This is pretty awkward since the floor is now the ceiling
inside the cockpit, so to speak. I wonder why I can't level the bottom of
the aircraft instead, that is level laterally between the gear mounts and
fore and aft along the belly skin between the firewall and gear mounting
points. Any information from experienced gear installers is welcome!

I would not use any sort of adhesive on the skirt. Reactions with the
canopy could be disastrous. Plus, the canopy and the skirt will flex --
stretch and shorten with the weather and this could also lead to cracks
in either one. This may not happen until the weather changes or you fly
it for awhile. Stick with the tried and true -- rivets or screws.

A friend here just used 3m-5200. I am watching and learning........
waiting for them to test :)
Years ago I worked at a boat dealership and was amazed
when the bolts were removed from an outboard and the motor remained on
the transom. (V-6 mercury) and it was not just once this took place.

Just a thought, but are you sure you have the left gear on the left side
of
the airplane? With the thing upside down and all when you drilled and
installed the legs, it could happen. Just my two cents worth.

Ulf:
You'll probably get different answers to this, but I feel strongly that
you
should use NO adhesive between the canopy and the skirt. The pop rivets
will hold it in place quite securely and adhesives have an unpredictable
propensity to react witht he plastic canopy, causing cracks, crazing and
other kinds of mischief.

Michle,
I've already ordered my fairing. The products I've seen in the past
from
Bob Snedaker were excellent quality. His designs add flair to the
airframe.
I
like his designs. I will likely order gear leg and wheel pant fairings
also. Stan Sutterfield www.rv-8a.net

The company that makes Pro-Seal also has a blend made specifically for

I installed my canopy skirt exclusively with screws machined to 120 degree
heads. The screws were torqued by hand with a driver that had a 3/8 handle
diameter, so they are just snug. I also applied UHMW tape to the frame
which will make canopy squirming easier. I then drilled the holes in the
canopy about .040 larger than the screw to again allow for movement. The
top of the skirt were it mates against the canopy was sealed with a
silicone that is safe on Plexiglass. After 260 hrs everything looks and
fits like new.
