I wouldn't get too technical on this matter. Only the last 15 gallons can be measured by either system. A float system will show the last 15 gallons as accurately as the capacitive system for a lot less money. It won't make any difference as to what kind of fuel you use either. The best fuel gauge i...

Dave, I have a friend who is building his 6th RV. (I think he likes them!) He doesn't use any primer. He only coats the non ALCLAD parts like the horiz stab doublers with epoxy primer. You know, the stuff made of 6061-T6. He is a firm believer in keeping it light and having a fast performance airpla...

However, what I have noticed, is that curvacious trim-lines along the fuselage do not make this bird look good. About the furthest out is the "Miss America" RV-8, which actually looks good. I particularly l...

We stumbled across this series of articles that I thought the membership here would find interesting. We are planning a 180 horse O-360 for our RV and this main article, called "The Rest of th...

I went on to the intro forum to introduce myself to the world, LOL, but I was rebuffed by a message stating that only moderators may use the forum. Sniff!

Dane, Thanks for all the info. If I was to use epoxy primer, (which I have), should I etch and alodine before shooting the epoxy??? My only experience with alodining was early this spring when I alodined a Citabria spinner before priming and painting with acrylic enamel. It turned out pretty good. I...

Self-etching Primer Compatabilty
Hi Guys and Gals, I'm a new builder from Canada and I have my RV-8 empennage kit sitting on my workbench. I wanted to introduce myself and help to kick off this forum. I am quite familiar with this style of Forum as I frequent a couple of dirtbike boards similar to this one. So far, I've just been p...
