An RV-8 Build Log
It’s been a while since I posted! Between birthdays, Holidays, new jobs, and volleyball, I’ve had quite a busy month… but don’t work! There has been work going on. In this post we’ll review the November work on the Fuel and Brake systems. Enjoy!
Lots of progress since last post. In this post we’ll install the rudder pedals and wrap up a few deferred items. Enjoy!
Lots of progress on the empennage. Elevator Horn replacement, control stick connection, and rudder install are part of this post. Enjoy!
While I wait on a new elevator control horn, I moved on with the Elevator control system. Fun erector set style building, with lots of washers, nuts and bolts. Read on for the details.
It’s been a year since my last velocity update and some major events occured in that time. I’m finally ready to write it down on paper and share my thoughts. Read on for the whole story.
What’s the old saying? Two steps forward…how many steps back? Well this post highlights one of those steps back. Although not catastrophic, find out what I needed to revert on the horizontal stabilizer in this end-of-month post.
Work on the Horizontal and Vertical stabilizers continued. I even got to start playing with the elevators! Lots of important alignment happened so read on for the details.
As I mentioned in my last post… it’s time to get to the empennage!! Or is it? There is one hurdle I needed to clear before mounting the Horizontal Stabilizer. Read on to find out what!!
With a last push I got through the remaining Console and seat ramp tasks. I finished with a fun assembly of all the pieces we’ve been working on for the past month. Read on for the details!
What I thought was going to be a quick step ended up taking 3 sessions, 8+ hours, and many trips to the hardware stores! But the fuel selector is finally fitted. Read on for all the building fun!
