    Subject: Check Valve For Static System Cabin Venting...
    Beautiful airplane Matt. Congratulations. I look forward to news of the first flight. Gail Peck RV-8 Wings slow build Las Vegas -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv8-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv8-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Matt Dralle Sent: Monday, April 19, 2010 1:51 PM Subject: RV8-List: Check Valve For Static System Cabin Venting... Dear Listers, Looking at the requirements for IFR certification of the RV-8, it looks like the only thing I don't have is an "alternate static source". This seems like it would be as simple as adding a "T" valve in the 1/4 neoprem static air tube that goes along under the left hand canopy rail. Does anyone have any suggestions on something I could just cut the tube and stick in line with a little thumb screw to switch between the fuselage or cabin source? I'm assuming this will meet the requirement? Thanks! PS - Attached are a couple of pictures from Taxi-testing and Magnetometer calibration this weekend. Cool?

    Where did you get the ideal an alternate static source was required for IFR flight. No such thing as an IFR "certification" BTW... -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv8-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv8-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Peck, Gaillard R CTR USAF ACC USAFWS/CBD Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2010 11:18 Subject: RE: RV8-List: Check Valve For Static System Cabin Venting...

    Subject: TSO'd Instrumentation For IFR?
    Dear Listers, I'm working with the local FSDO this week and had my airframe inspection on Monday will get my sign-off this Friday if all goes well. Looking over the requirements for IFR, it appears that I've got everything I need as far as equipment is concerned. I have a Garmin SL-30 for Com/Nav and a Garmin GTX-327 for Mode C transponder. All of the other equipment and functionality is provided by the GRT Horizon HX sytems including the encoder, attitude, airspeed, altitude, compass, etc, etc. I do not have any steam gauges or other flight instruments other than what is provided by GRT through an HX installation. My question is can my RV-8 be approved for IFR flight with this compliment of GRT HX specific instrumentation? Or, would I need to have a TSO'd encoder and/or other TSO'd pieces such as rate-of-turn, slip, sensitive altimeter, artificial horizon, direction gyro, etc?
