RV8 Fuel Test

[DanBeadle]

Hight high do the mains need to be raised when doing fuel flow test? Standard tires.

When I was testing my RV8, I left it at the 3-point attitude and ran the fuel flow test with 5 gallons in each wing.

Easiest way is to find a ditch or hill or some other way to lower the tailwheel to increase the "AoA". I don't recall the recommended angle, but I can say that under power the RV-8 will climb very steeply.
