Good rundown Booger.
My wings should ship next week. Finished the tail last night. Not real
proud of the look. Profound new respect for Rosie the Riveter. But,
stuff lines up and that's the part bondo can't fix. LOL
Did you make the Ranch Roundup? I hung with Tom Morgenfeld and Jimmy
Doolittle but missed you. Sorry bout that.

I used tapered hardware bolts to set the initial alignment, then regular
hardware bolts and nuts to attach. One critical step - have someone lift
the wingtip to adjust the dihedral to take pressure off the bolts - both
during installation and removal.
I attached the wings, set the angles, drilled the holes, drilled the
fairings, fiddled with the ailerons, fiddled with the fuel lines and
wing wiring - then removed and stored the wings. Will reattach with the
real bolts after canopy, skirts, baffles, wiring, top skin, gear
fairings and various unknown unknowns are completed.

| Subject: | Re: Cowl Paint Gap |
Greeting Fellow RV-8/8a Builders, Hijacking here; who can tell me how wide the
gap between fuselage top skin and cowl fiberglass should be to allow for paint?
Too wide and it would show, but too thin and the paint will pop with expansion.
Hope to hear from you, Best regards, Bill?
