Nice mod ... (sure wish my RV-8 had it )
My compressor tank is at 175 psi, my lines are at 150 psi and most of my drops are 120 psi (the exception being the pain shop which is most often at 60 psi)
I'm thinking I may mount the fuse panels to the door....but I am so far from electrical work, who knows?
Working towards riveting the firewall to the forward floor assembly but I have to use fuel tank sealant where they mate to prevent oil and such from leaking inside the cockpit.
Robert,
I am trying (and failing) to visualize your tip. I think you are talking about the 2nd picture above your post. You mean the center relief cut in the rear spar attach bulkhead (F-806B-1)?... if so, I think you mean the bottom where it will meet the skin....so...I am confused by your advice...
Tony,David,
I think the fuel level MAY come into play as far as trim is concerned so I will add it. I follow your build (and many others) and I learn a lot from you guys. Can you explain your permanent floor decision a bit more?
.
Tony,
I did not want to spend the time to install or the money for plate nuts to do it. The primary focus here is to get this machine in the air, nothing else. There's no other reason to build it - time's a wasting.
The floor went in permanent but only after making sure wires could be easily slipped under it through a conduit.
Oh yeah...these came in yesterday from Grove.
I would put some AN7 bolts thru the spar box to keep it aligned . I see you have spacers to keep the width right.
