Today was a good day
The RV grin is starting to grow on my face. Moved to the airport and attached to wings after it arrived. My A&P that is doing the condition inspection on my Bonanza came down and lended a hand. He brought some super slippery lube and the spar bolts seated with encouragement from a mallet. The...

Life after flying
My son (A-10 and now Delta) and I sold our much loved RV-8 last month to a couple of young Delta pilots. Vic did the pre-buy for them and I've got to say, the three of them made what could have been a very, very sad day somehow better. At 73 going on 74 years old, I just knew it was time...

section 58-02 yaw servo install question, before big join
I'm looking at section 36, 56, and 58 to do the servo bracket installs while I have the tailcone free before the big join. When I rivet the yaw servo mount (F-14189A/B) to each other and F-01407-L/R, will I be able to remove the bellcrank plate (F-14139)? I'm wondering if others can let me...

500 airports.
I'll admit it; I'm a geek. Over the last 15 years and 1875 hours of flying my RV-8, I've been on a sort of unofficial quest to cover the Lower 48 states of the US and to land at as many different airports as I can. After puttering around N Texas and a bit of Oklahoma yesterday, my RV airport...

RV7 Spar Bolt Orientation
I am going to install the wing mate bolts after drilling the rear spar on my RV7. Drawing 11 shows the NAS close tolerance bolts going in from the back of the spar... I don't think this really matters since the bolts are in mostly shear but I would normally install a bolt like this from the...
