Anybody want to help save me some work by telling me the Fuselage Station of the firewall on an RV8? I'm not the builder, but an A&P doing a Raven "half system" installation and need to make the W&B form changes. Would appreciate the assist.

RV8/8A zero datum is 70" ahead of the wing leading edge. Firewall datum is not shown in the W&B calculation.

Plans are available from Vans, if you are not the builder you should order a set of plans. They come on a thumb drive. This includes the build instructions, W&B, G limits and construction drawings.
 
Thank you, Terry. The Datum location is really all I need, I can take the measurement now. I didn't realize they would sell plans to non-builders, that is good information as well.

Blue skies!
