I will be flying in on Tuesday. Is Otters far for the grounds? Not sure how I would get there but will work something out.
Any open seats? Where can we meet etc?

Thanks

I will be there on Wednesday and would love to meet some of you, but WHERE is the Otter?

I was afraid of that. So you must have rotated the servo 180 degrees? I have the same sump as you as well, and the red cube fuel flow sensor for the Dynon. Do you happen to have any pictures?
Thanks
AL

Thanks, Dave.
Do you have the SilverHawk EX? Did you have to change anything on the servo?(linkage, or rotate the servo etc)?
Thanks
Al

Thanks a lot, Mike
AL

Does anyone know if the cables/ hoses in the Firewall Forward kit will fit the Precision Airmotive SilverHawk EX servo(horiz induction)? Otherwise I will have to have them made up i guess.
Thanks
Al

Hey. I gotta save money SOMEWHERE!!!
Ill send some pics tomorrow
Al

Finally got up the nerve to mount the grove gear and align and drill it. After all the worrying over it, it was a non event. Hard drilling though. I used the parrallel angle method. Even took the 4 foot angle back to Lowes and got my 30bucks Back^:)
AL

I am at the point in my build where I just flipped the fuselage over after completing the skins.After doing a few minor tasks,the Manual says to Now flip it BACK over and install the Gear and the bottom Fwd floor. It would seem easier if I did most of the inside tasks now(floors, seats,controls,etc....

Thanks a lot, Dave. Do you remember what the tool is called I need to get? I cant seem to find it on their site. How is the build going?
Al

Hey dave: I know it is an old subject, but I am getting ready to do the gear on the 8. Could you tell me the tool and fittings I need too do this brake line mod? Also, How did you do the brake line from the TOP of the Grove Gear thru the floor and into the tower. I was thinking of doing another flex...

Since you got it for FREE, Perhaps you should pass it along to someone else who needs it(Me)!:^).HA,HA,

WOW.
Looks expensive. Someday maybe I can afford one.
I just called Vans today, and changed my QB RV8 fuselage order to slow build to save the 5000 bucks. Things are tough.
Jetjoc

Forgive the ignorance, but What is a DRD2??
Jetjoc

2 questions, Dave.
Where do you get the 12" braided line with the 90 on the end, and how do you cut it and re use it?
Thanks
AL
Grove gear on its way

What does the unit cost?
AL Grajek

Ill look for some older posts.
So, I guess I just trace the contour of the fuselage onto the canopy, and keep doing it little at a time untilits close to the roll Bar?
Thanks

Does anybody have pictures/procedures for trimmint the FRONT of the canopy to fit the fuselage contour?
Thanks
