I've seen tip sections totally glassed in, filling in the inboard end of the elevator tip and adjacent end of the stabilizer, and basically making all joints disappear from the rivet line out. Looks great, but I'm not sure what I would be in for if I decided to go that way. Would like some feedback from other builders. Pros/cons and, from those who have gone there, a bit on preferred materials and processes and maybe some photos. Not asking for much. I've picked up a lot of good ideas from list comments and direct contact. Guess I still have a long way to go. Stan Loer ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:10:55 PM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: RV8-List: RV-8 Part # F-601Y Dear Listers, On Drawing 60 of the RV-8 plans, there is a part called out numbered "F-601Y" which appears to be an angle of some sort about 2" long. It seems to be used to hold the hinge pins for the rear, upper cowling. Other than a reference to it on Drawing 60 where its simply shown as a dotted drawing for positional reference, I can't seem to find where it is shown in 3D for fabrication nor can I find it among my pre-punched bits and pieces. Am I just not seeing the 3D drawing for some reason?? Thanks!
