Hi guys, I decided to use aircraft spruce's silicon baffle seal. Seems to hug the cowl very well. However, the material is thicker than that which vans...
Mark, I tried the pop rivets also with out satisfaction... I used the baffle screws sold by aircraft spruce "engine baffle fastener kit". They call it a "kit"...
Mark, I think the Cherry Q rivets would work for you. Of course, these are much stronger than standard pop rivets but I don't think that would be a problem....
I got my baffle seal pop rivets from GAHCO (Genuine Aircraft Hardware Co.). http://www.gen-aircraft-hardware.com They had various lengths & head sizes. )_(...
Charlie, I'm in the early phase of wiring even though basic airframe work is far from complete. For purposes of much easier access since the (otherwise...
Hi Rick, That was a really useful set of pictures. I'm about six months behind you. You have the flap control on the stick? That seems like a really good...
Hi Mike, It is a virtual certainty in this life that there is no topic or no subject that will ever enjoy 100% universal agreement. Considering that an...
That link is not the right one...here is a cut and paste of the appropriate portion of the thread. I'd be curious to know exactly how many RV's have been lost...
I have the Infinity Grip installed and one thing to remember is that when you raise the flaps, on completion of the cycle the switch must be neutralized or the...
Any groups out there seriously planning on attending this? It sounds like a "can't miss" event. For general aviation flying in go to the following link:...
For Garmin 430 owners: I just got my Garmin 430 back with the WAAS upgrade and didn't realize the new antenna connector is a TNC rather than a BNC like the old...
Hi Robert - that is true, unless you install an "up limit" switch with a relay to shut off motor power when the flaps are full up - very easy to do, and makes...
Thanks for that. I will install an up limit switch. Rgds _____ From: RV-8@yahoogroups.com [mailto:RV-8@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of ironflightrv8 Sent:...
As some may have heard, triple ace Robin Olds just passed away. If you are on the fence about attending this but want to meet some of these folks, this could...
I did exactly that with a switch I bought at Digikey and found it works perfectly. My flaps were originally on a switch on the left side of my cockpit. I...

Paul, How did you wire your "up limit" switch? As far as I can tell, it needs to be a normally closed switch wired in series with the "up" side of the flap...
Hi Paul - Sorry, I didn't get back here to see your question! I'll have to dig through my "napkin sketch file" to find the drawing - I tend to just draw things...
Here is what I have got from the internet. To open this file, you can download a free DWGViewer still from the internet. I'm going to use a super simplified...
I've been flying 15 hours in my 8 and have done both three point and wheel landings. My 8 has the battery in the back with a FP Catto prop so the cg is a...
Hi Stan, Any information that you get on landing speeds is purely subjective based on the accuracy of the pitot/static system. Here's what works for me and...
There is a nice drawing on www.aeroelectrics.com/articles/flaps.pdf. You can browse that site, it is full of interesting information :), we can be grateful to...
Hi Stan. I have had my RV-8 for about 18 months and the following is how I adopt the circuit entry. I enter the circuit with 18/2200, which gives me 120kts....
I'm about half way thru my wings and studying all the engines/prop options. I would like to hear from anyone with opinions about a light 0320/Catto instead of...
All, Of all the places... I have an oil-canning problem with the cooling ramp. I am worried that with the exhaust booming in this area I will have problems...
I was concerned with oil getting in along the sides of the ramp. I ran a bead of proseal along each side as prevention. This seemed to also stiffen up the...
