Thank you guys. Ah, the things you forget after 17 years (holy =F0=9F=92=A9
, been that long?).
I had recently pulled a tank on the -4 which doesn=99t have the braces
. I should be able to get it from this info but thanks for offer of the pla
ns Charlie.
A copy of RV8 plans showing PN of left forward & bottom fwd. fuse parts woul
d be handy if anyone has it scanned. Will be ready to order parts soon.

It's not as good as having the paper plans to spread out in front of
you, but you can get a thumb drive containing the entire manual from
Van's for about $10. Find a laptop & copy it to the cloud, & copy back
to your ipad.
I'll check with Andy to see if he has a 'soft' copy, and email those
pages to you if he does.

No joy on the soft copy, but he's built/rebuilt several -8s. Want me to see
if he has an extra set of printed plans he'd sell, if no one can send you a
pdf of those pages?
