Welcome to our RV-8 build log
' style=
Date:  12-5-2009
Number of Hours:  3.00
Manual Reference:  8-78
Brief Description:  Slotted the tank attach angles + Misc.

Cut slots in the T-405 tank attach angles to allow the tank to pull away from the fuselage in the event of an accident.

Added two rivets on the inboard side of the flap bottom skins. This is not covered in the instructions but we decided to add them to prevent vibration.

Dimpled the holes in the fuselage for attaching the flap fairings with our pop rivet dimple dies.

We also decided to cover the hole in the fuselage bottom skin that is used for the RV8-A step weldment.
