Why not mount the starter switch on the panel above the throttle, That way you can move the throttle with your hand whilst punching the button with the same...
My instructions say to attach the flap brace and aileron fairing to the rear spar. Easy, but there's no instruction I can find to attach them to the skins....
David, When I built my tanks, I went with one standard pickup, and one flop tube. I followed Van`s drawing for placement of, and installation details for...

Hello, just getting started with the whole kit building process. Does anyone have any of the Orndorff construction videos for the RV-8 that I could buy or...
I would save the flap and aileron attachment to after the lower outboard skin is in place. There is no need to attach the flap now. The aileron gap fairing...
Dan - I just "finished" installing the ailerons and flaps last night. (I use the term finished in quotes to ensure laughter from the folks way out ahead of...

A local RVer had similar complaints with is 8. Turned out the valve timing was off by one tooth. Ran good, but his climb and speed suffered and is much better...
I have actually seen this on a friends airplane, with identical symptoms. There is a Lycoming service letter that address the possibility that the engine was...
Gert, That's a good idea. I haven't put the panel in yet, so I don't have a picture of how that would work, but I will definitely save this e-mail and...
Peter, I've got the empennage videos (2) for the RV-6/8. If you're just getting started they're not bad. Van's sells them for $35, I'll sell mine for $20...

I was hoping I would not get any questions about that calculator! I tried to use the most conservative values in each of the fields that I could find. I used ...
Basically I did the same thing. When all said and done I too will probably be the only one to know that a different flap hinge was used along with a small ...
On DWG 27 section C-C they show 8 rivets tying F-811C to F-811 bulkhead . . . there were only 6 pre-punched holes in the bulkhead along with a larger (AN4...
Paul, Good info. Another factor that is probably even more noticeable if it`s slightly "off" is the gap between aileron and flap. Somehow I managed to screw...
