Thanks for the reply; I've ordered one......hopefully it'll fit!

Hi all

Does anyone have any experience with the Raven inverted oil system? Is it a good quality kit? Easy to install?

I have an RV8 with IO360-C1C6. Hoping it won't be too traumatic an install!

Any experiences/horror stories gratefully received!

Cheers

Rob

Thanks, I guess I'll just have to keep fiddling with some foam seal!

Morning all

My RV8 has finally taken to the skies and we have a horrendous draft coming from the rear of the canopy! The British winter is imminent and I don't want to get wet or frozen to death!

Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you fix it?

Many thanks for any suggestions!

Rob

Sorry to resurrect this thread....but..... I decided to work around my sump issue and carried on with the build. I'm now back with this issue having not found a replacement 2nd hand sump! Has anyone machined a sump to change from rearward to forward facing induction? If so, do you have any details/p...

Thanks for the picture Mike. I guess I'd need a fairly long arm if I mount it to the top of the roll bar for the iPad to sit below it.

Thanks for the reply Mike, appreciate the advice.

Do you think that one of those cylindrical bar attachments will hold the mount and iPad rigidly?

Cheers

Rob

Would these be any good for either forward or rear baggage space in an '8 do you know?

Cheers

***scratch that...just found the website!!***

Hi all I want to mount my iPad Air in the back of my '8 by attaching it to the roll-bar. Has anyone done this already? If so how did you do it? I want to be able to remove the iPad and the mount be nice & rigid so it doesn't move about. Any suggestions of what to use is appreciated. Pictures of your...

Thanks Paulie!! The aircraft is in my home country of the UK! The climate is slightly more hospitable there!

Hi all My '8 creeps ever closer to completion. My co builder was messing around the other night and started to polish the outboard section of a wing. Boy did it come up nice! Tempted to polish the whole thing now to save a fortune on painting. Would it need some sort of treatment or can you just reg...

Thanks for the info, obviously looked at Vans quoted figures but some real-world info is always useful!

Now where is the fun in that?!?!

Hi all My '8 is creeping ever closer to completion in the UK and shortly after that I'm hoping to fly it to the Middle East as I'm working here for a few years. I have an IO-360 200hp motor and it will be a Hartzell prop as supplied by Vans. My question is, what sort of range are you guys getting wi...

Well unfortunately Sunstate Aviation are a no-go; Unfortunately, we have made the decision a few months back to discontinue aircraft rental for non-instructional purposes as that part of our operation was beginning to have a negative impact on our flight training operations The search continues........

Thanks John, I'll look them up.

Any other suggestions gratefully received.....the more options the better!

Hi all, after some help please! My family & I are visiting Florida in July and I want to rent something to fly down to the Florida Keys. I did this back in 1997, and my FAA PPL is currently being processed. I have e-mailed several places but none have replied. Does anyone know of any good places to ...

Yup, Doha sucks on the ground alright, with a capital 'S'!! NDIA, or Hamad International as its now known, has been cursed with delays from the outset by poor management & generally being run by idiots. Already thee are too few stands for the rapidly expanding fleet & it hasn't opened!! The grand op...

I work in Doha Radar, hope you had a delay free arrival & departure! (Although unlikely.....too many aeroplanes & only 1 runway!) Shame I couldn't have bought you a beer between flights..........if only they sold it in the airport!
