My flying buddy has the same intake set up on his 8 and he has a Skytec
starter.
I am 99% sure it is the same one I got for my 8 149-12LS (149 is the
number of
flywheel teeth- 12 volt - left side )

--> RV8-List message posted by: "Vincent Himsl" <vhimsl@turbonet.com>
Hello,
I am working on the fiberglass band around the windscreen and am not quite
sure how thick to make the part that intersects the canopy...the part that I
will always want to grab getting in and out of the cockpit.
My inclination is to make it as thick as the canopy skirt with as little
flex/give as possible.
I am not too concerned with weight or I would spend more time in the gym.
Suggestions appreciated and thanks
Vince

Yeah I don't care much for fiberglass either, I used 5 or 6 layers of cloth
and glass, and made a 4 inch radius sanding wooden handle, glued the
80 (start) to the wood with the spray glue.. then 180 , then 320 grit, (rv9a
4" RADIUS) on the 8 it might need a different angle.. think smooth
transition from forward skin to windscreen.. as for grab ideas, i used the
handles from aircraft-extras 19.95 attached to the rollbar.. they are much
better than breaking off the fiberglass getting in and out of the thing.. I
tried this to see what was going to happen or where the grab points were
going to be.. the handles are rock solid and are one of the better ideas for
entry and exit.. I can see me or a pax grabbing the overlap glass and
breaking it off..
plus it will take some load off the armrest.. as thats the normal place that
people push up from..
just my ideas...
Danny..

You Have the right idea. If I remember, I layed up about 4 layers of tape,
and soaked it with a lot of resin. I have 140 hrs on my 8A and it has held
up great.

I alternated fiberglass and carbon fiber. Four layers total. It's worked
fine so far because I don't use it for a hand-hold -- but next time I'll
do six layers total.
