I've spoken with Jonathan about doing my -14A when it's ready late next year or early 2020 and am really looking forward to working with him.
I hope to do my RV-8 the beautiful!Wow, Beautiful!!!
Is the light color metallic silver gray
Yep!
Weather is a problem this week, hopefully I'll get the final assembly done, pics, and fly it home by the weekend.
Please let us know how much weight you will end up adding to the elevator for balancing it.
They were spot on from the build and I've been flying ...
I haven't weigh mine, but expect one to be heavier due to additional hardware (trim tab & motor). Did you reduce the E-614 counter weights to have the two elevators balanced? Or how did you balanced the elevators.
Mine were so close there was no reason to add/remove weight. I did shave the weights to fit, perhaps I just got lucky. Curious what the paint will do, I suspect not much.
Is elevator balance on the 14 something that builders are chasing around?
Knocking on wood .. mine flew true very first flight. The only issue I had with trim was after I installed the nose wheel pant, it caused some pull to one side in flight. I had to re-torque the axel nut, apparently it wears in a bit and loosens up.
But the axel nut doesn't act on wheel pant !? Did you have a 1/4 of ball ?
