Dear Listers: I'm making final preparations before nailing on the top skin and want to ensure that I don't have any squawks before doing so. I do have an...
Jim, Glad to see you're already looking toward the powerplant and panel! Man, it took me a few years of building before I even began to seriously consider that...
I personally am putting a dual screen Chelton EFIS in my RV-8A and a Dynon EFIS as backup instruments. The backup flight instruments, while electronic, are...
Steve, Your comments on GPS are only partially correct. Certified aircraft are also subject to 91.205 and are required to have navigational equipment based on...
Scott, 1. There are some wires comming from the servo motor that indicate the position of the servo (three of the wires). If your indicator reads backwards,...
Fellow RV-8ators, There were a few threads awhile back about Doug Reeves' decision to shut down this group. Some people were happy to move to his web based...
- ... Kevin, I would be willing to continue on in my moderator position in support of your efforts. I believe we have a good thing going! Sincerely, Steve...
Starting this count numbers thread. I for one am on the Matronics and the Yahoo RV8 lists. I am also on RVSQN (British), the Frenc list, Yahoo Vans Airforce ,...
Very disappointed to hear that Doug would even consider not handing over the Groups to someone else. Not sure about anyone else, but I've basically abandoned...
Lists are only as good as people who subscribe to it. I recommend that if this list is to die, people who have not already done so should move on to the RV8...
... Sounds good to me. Here is my somewhat tongue-in-cheek analysis of the various lists: Matronics - Legislative branch - lots of chaos, and not sure what...
... Bonjour Michèle, Tell me more about the Matronics RV8 list. I was on it for awhile when the model-specific RV lists were first created, many, many years ...
Kevin, relax buddy on this email stuff and focus on getting YOUR plane finished! Since you are a professional test pilot, I am a lot more interested in hearing...
Kevin, As you are aware, I am in favor of keeping this group alive. I have offered Doug to take over as owner. I believe the current policy of a moderated...
The Matronics RV8 list is a separate list, both in email and forum formats. The signal to noise ratio has been very good, though the traffic level is low...
I don't get it! And maybe that's because I'm not in the middle of the RV politics. I look at and have the RV-8 messages sent to my email as there posted. Do...
I see no difference in the two "email lists" . . . other than you occasionally get an email from Matt Dralle laying out the rules (as he did today) or asking...
Kevin, I like the list format as it stands now. To keep messages moving in a timely fashion I think multiple moderators with different schedules / time zones...
Just a note to those of you who liked this format, rivetbangers.com does have an integrated email list serv that works in conjunction with the bbs software. As...
... Scott, We don't want to start a new list. We want to keep this list going. But Doug Reeves has announced that he will start shutting down this list on...
Kevin: I sent a message to Doug requesting that he save us a lot of time and effort to recreate the group by transferring it to someone who wants it. Have not...
I second that statement. Count me in. I enjoy reading all the lists. I contribute to Matt's list but still enjoy the diversity. Jim Bowen RV-8 QB Lake Tapps,...
Guys, I've been reading your post on the shutting down of the Yahoo RV-8 list. Like some of you, I hate change. American Airlines had to retire the 727 in...
Danny, I am also sorry to see you leave here, but the issue is not about change, it is about choice. I use Doug's forums extensively and like them a lot, so...
Good news guys. Doug just posted on the VAF forums that he will be transferring ownership of the RV-8 group to Kevin Horten so will be able to continue on as...
That's great news. I like to read the messages offline, plus its quicker. I'm going to finally check out the VAF forum now too though... Robbie Walker ...
Great news folks, I see that someone already posted the news, but here is the text of a message I picked up from Doug Reeves when I got home. He said that he...
