Groups, I have had a bunch of questions about my modified RV-8 Fastback which was completed mid. last year. I now have a web site that should answer many of ...
For those who may be interested, it looks like new hangars will be built in Concord NH this year. Apparently, about 3 companies are bidding for the land lease...
Hi all, I've been following all your discussions regarding building and flying RV's and I want to thank you for the good information. I have some questions...
Hey Dave -- Have you considered getting a cover (such as at: http://www.aircraftcovers.com/techsheets/rv8.html ) and basing it closer to home? There are a...
Dave, I'm building an 8, I live near Cape Cod and would be happy to show you my progress. I've got tail and wings done, and I'm hanging the skins to the ...
Hi Dave, I have an RV8A under construction in Manchester NH. About a mile and a half from the airport. Tail and wings are finished and working on the Fuselage....
HI Penny, Thanks for the info. I have a Tiger now that I keep up at ASH, outside under a good cover. I used to base at BED but the tiedown prices skyrocketed...
Hi David, I just bought an RV-4 (also based at ASH) and can offer a few tidbits. 1. I suggest you wait until Spring for two reasons. a.) roughly 40% of the RVs...
Hi David, I’d recommend asking your question on one of the Yahoo or Matronics RV8 groups. I’m sure you’ll find someone out there near OK City to help...
David: Remember that if you buy a used experimental aircraft, you will not get the repairman's certificate and will probably need to have an A&P do the annual....
Thanks Tom. Good advice! For the future, I was actually hoping I might find an RV friendly mechanic in the area who would do an owner assisted annual. I...
The best RV-friendly mechanic I know (one of the very best, period) is Tim Howard of Stick & Rudder Aero Maintenance in Chatham. Highly recommended! Regards, ...
Yea, but he's in Maine! ... From: David To: BostonRVBuilders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 1:33 PM Subject: Re: [BostonRVBuilders] Looking...
Hi All, Ken is absolutely right. Tim Howard has maintained my RV8 for four years. He knows the plane inside and out. Regards Bob Garrabrant N628GT ... From:...
... David, one possibility is Aviation Associates at KMHT Manchester, NH. They are A&P's and RV builders, and have repaired at least one customer's RV. Carsten...
Dave - Well -- If you don't mind the extra time spent driving from MA to NH rather than flying, then I guess you do have some pretty good rates. As for LWM --...
Penny, Thank you for the information. I'll keep it in mind when I get an RV, which hopefully won't be too far into the future. I joined the EAA via their...
Dave, You have to join a local chapter also. EAA106 is the Boston area chapter. I think there's a chapter at ASH also. I also think that you'll fit nicely in...
Hi David, From what a friend just learned, check the logs thoroughly. Don't take the sellers word on engine overhauls. My friend was under the impression the...
Dave -- Unfortunately, no - National EAA does not automatically make you a member of a local chapter, although membership in the national organization is a ...
All this talk of tie downs and hangers brings up a general question about storing an aircraft. An airplane is full of a lot of sensitive machinery and...
Tom, I'd be leary of the tent style. Might be ok positioned sheltered next to your house for a vehicle, but on an open, gusty airport? Also, how about ...
I would have to agree that a light duty storage system is one thing for storing the lawnmowever at home but not for storing your plane at the airport....
Actually, I was thinking there might be a businsess opportunity to create a high-tech shelter that anchored to the cast-in tie-down rings on a paved ramp....
There are some such at Minuteman, I think. Once was out there and saw something of the sort, but did not investigate it to the point of actually going over...
I know that one of those shelters at Minuteman is permanent. (Winter and Summer) It belongs to a guy I know. If you can get permission to put one up at the...
Such high-tech structures exist. I believe the harder problem would be to get permission from the airport. I'm designing a large fabric radome for a Raytheon...
As you know, most of the interior is held in with AN515-8R8 screws and plate nuts. I found it difficult to fit these, particularly when the screws go through...
I do the same with all of mine. I see no negatives to it, and it greatly facilitates assembly. brian http://brian76.mystarband.net/RV-7Ahome.htm ... From: Tom...
The only potential negative is when the screws go through a longeron or even a strut on the firewall, it weakens the structure. How much? Is it an issue? I...
